Overall the staff were pretty nice, but they switched people doing the check-in twice in the middle, which was a bit inconvenient.

The app showed it was a 7‑seater, but the supplier actually gave us a 5‑seater. Not sure where the communication went wrong.

Loved the store, and the car was in great condition. We managed to fit four 26-inch suitcases plus several backpacks—this Skoda wagon’s trunk is seriously spacious, and the fuel consumption was pretty low too.

I booked a Peugeot Citroën 5008 for Monday, and since they happened to have one available, they even upgraded me to a 9-seater for free.

Used them for the second time now – they’re under Enterprise. They will try to upsell their own insurance. Local coverage does have its perks, especially for cross-border trips. For example, Albania doesn’t recognize the platform’s insurance, so you need to buy an extra Green Card, about €50 per day. But if you do the math, the platform’s full coverage still works out cheaper overall.

However, they promote insurance and vehicle upgrades and sometimes add services without consulting.

Edinburgh Airport is relatively easy to locate. The staff had a bit of an accent, but it didn't affect communication. The only issue is that inspecting the car at night can be challenging.
