We were expecting a Kia (or similar)

We were expecting a Kia (or similar). Booked through Economy Car Rentals. We have had problems with MGs before. This car like our previous MG did not have any power and we had to be very cautious entering roundabouts to accelerate out. Staff were really great.

Happy customer

Prompt pickup. Friendly drivers and check-in staff. Using the QR code on the way to pick up the car was a great time saver. Excellent car. Very economical on fuel. Clean. Return process was quick and easy. Fantastic price. Why pay more for equal service. Recommend.

Poor Instructions at Airport to find Shuttle

There was no signposting at the airport on arrivals and the instructions given to find the shuttle pick up, took us round in circles. We were unable to connect to a human on the customer service phone number we were given. In the end we had to spend $30 on an uber to get to the rental pick up point.
