The people who accepted the return were terrific. The experience on the pick up was terrible. They had 4 employees present but only processed one person. This took >35 mins. When a young women arrived suddenly they could process 2 people and in English. The young women was a American. The car provided was a Citroen c3. We booked a Peugeot 308 or equivalent that could take 3 suitcases. We had to totally dismantle our luggage to fit it in. A Citroen c3 is not a Peugeot 308 equivalent!!!! No other cars were left so we had to suffer no legroom for driver or passenger to fit the luggage! We also had to put all the luggage back together after the trip. Pretty poor when you book and pay for a bigger car and get one smaller!!!
