Does what it says on the tin.
It’s a great car hire place and the pre registration really speeds things up - we upgraded as realised we needed a bit more space and the team were able to offer me a great car at a really good additional rate.
My ONLY small negative is that there is not a guaranteed shuttle service, it’s a super short walk away but when traveling with a baby this is challenging… With that said the guys on the phone made a plan for me!
(Traveling alone to visit elderly family)
Thanks to the Bristol team!

Not so low cost and disgusting car
This company advertises the self as low cost, they charges us an additional 100£ to add my husband, then we're unhappy I took out a 3rd party insurance and tried to charge us 12£ a day and then the check in man told me because of that they took a £2000 deposit which would take 21 days to be returned. The car he gave us was dirty and all scratched up. Awful experience

If I could give zero I would
If I could give zero I would. Arrived after a delayed flight and having no luggage I went straight to the on airport agent but they had given the car I had booked and paid for to someone else as I was late! All this despite putting the flight number so they could track it being late. Very upsetting and meant I missed a wedding as I then had to wait for a taxi.

Everything was great
Everything was great. Except that the car was 7/8 full of petrol. I had a long journey ahead so it would have been better to have started full . And it is very difficult to judge 7/8 when filling up. But that was only annoying thing. Car was great.
