    The car was fine. There was some delay on pick-up due to incorrect address of Easirent desk at Gatwick in the pick up instructions. They could not explain the error.

    Chris at Easirent was very helpful and went over and above his role. I heard some negative reviews about Easirent but experienced none of them. Will definitely use them again - if they remain competitive!
