Satisfactory

The staff was Indian and had a condescending attitude.

The only regret is that even though we had already purchased full insurance in our country, which included scratch coverage, the counter insisted that it wasn't valid, saying there was no coverage below £1000. This made us very uneasy and confused throughout the trip.

At handover, it was 11 pm and no one reminded us to check the car properly. When returning the car, they mentioned wheel scratches, with the front wheel having a scuff and a scratch on the rear wheel. The front wheel had hit a curb but the rear wheel seemed to have old scratches that we could feel by touch. They claimed it wasn’t covered by insurance due to the low amount, so we had no choice but to leave.

Upgrade to an automatic was very welcome for London driving.
