Alex delivered my courtesy car with no problems, was very polite and ran through any damages already on the car for my awareness.

Driver Jason came to pick up my hire car today, answered all my questions and put my mind at ease, great customer service

Alex was very patient and understanding when we had to move vehicles around blocking the hire car especially in the pouring rain. I can totally recommend Alex for his professional customer service
