Got a diesel car, great power and performance. The car was in excellent condition. There’s a daily mileage limit of 200 km, but it accumulates over multiple rental days, which is basically enough. One tank gets you around 600 km. Staff was patient and didn’t push any upsells. Returning the car was straightforward—same location for pickup and drop-off. You simply drop the key in the slot at the counter if the staff isn’t around. Super easy and convenient. Overall, an excellent experience. Thank you!

The explanation was clear, but they gave me a lower grade car, which was noticeably smaller.
