It was a very competitive price and I hope they don't give me any hassle when it comes to delivery... I'll make sure to take pictures of the car for every square centimetre.

Easy access, information and procedures. The valuations of the rental companies can be improved because if you look for them you can see that they do not correspond to the reality.
