10 ExcellentExceeded my expectations!
7.3 GoodDrop of was a nightmare. I was not able to find the point. Therefore I missed the evening. However the agent said that she were there in the office. We confused about where to part, an we not even checked the office as we though it is close. It was not, but we did not reach the office because we did not find the drop off parking lot.- 9.7 ExcellentGood value for money.
