|Apr 2025Very pleasant. Maddie couldn’t have been nicer and more welcoming. I didn’t expect to pay an additional £59 for increased cover ( to a reasonable level) but was pleasantly surprised with the vehicle the condition of it and the time taken to sort this with maddie at the desk. Drop off was back to a drop box and was very hassle free. Would absolutely use this service again in the future.

|Oct 2021The Southampton airport office just outside the airport was closed and there were phone numbers to call....Impossible to get through and when we did they were of no help! Turns out the return area was open and this was where we were to go but there were no signs on the office directing you to find the return area! The National car return area at the London drop-off at the Waterloo train station was impossible to find with GPS, signage and asking folks....So much wasted time! NEED SIGNS!
