It is a very good agency, I recommend. We booked a large car for two small families. When we arrived, we noticed a small problem with the air conditioning of the car. Very quickly, they offered us a solution. We had two city cars without any additional fees. They are very accommodating, and always available by phone to answer any questions you may have.
