Very nice and friendly service! She took the time to explain everything to us. We did not feel rushed. The car was ready when we got there. Very positive experience, I would rent there again.

5.0

Very pleasant experience in the swiss agency with diligent and friendly personel. If you plan to travel both to France and to Switzerland I would recommend you to pick a car there (just because of the convenient swiss motorway vignette that is already included when you rent the car).
