Everything about this rental was strange and unpleasant. Delivery place outside the airport, poor quality and very dirty car, empty tank and damages on the car body, more than 150 thousand kilometers of car operation, my trip was completely ruined, I was ashamed to go anywhere with this car! I can’t you suggested this rental! I never book with KAYAK again!
