It is very easy to choose the car, everything is well explained and very fast and in 2 minutes you have the car already booked.

The car offer is good and so are the prices. What I didn't like is that it seems that the car pick up is inside the station and when you have already hired it they tell you that you have to pick it up outside in a nearby street.
