The gentleman who gave us our car in Edinburgh (I'm sorry I forget his name!) was very pleasant and helpful. It was a very busy day, but he was not rushed and gave us all the time we needed. We returned the car early at London Stansted Airport and used the drop box.

Everything went perfect. The cost for renting this van was huge though.

The service from your staff was great. The car had surprisingly a lot of trunk room for it's size The car I rented needed new wiper blades. A disappointment since this is an essential piece of safety equipment in Scotland. I was also startled that changing from a manual transmission to an automatic was so costly. considering the windy narrow roads, it seems you would want to have have drivers who are used to right-hand driving use a simpler car to operate.

Wait time for pick up was long, and the service agent tried to upsell us on insurance, even though we were already covered. The vehicle was much nicer than we were expecting and it didn't have any issues other than the check engine service light coming on at the very end of our trip. We had to change our drop off point and the customer service agent on the phone was very accommodating and helpful with the change. Overall, I was satisfied with this rental experience.
