Staff were helpful and nice, the whole process was efficient. Car was ok but could have been newer, as it had more than 100k km on the clock.

The service was very attentive, and the car was in great condition. Although I'm not familiar with right-hand drive cars, the Aqua compact car was quite easy to handle.
