Satisfied, but there was no timer, which resulted in a parking fine.

Overall good, but I have a small complaint. When we arrived at the pickup point, they spent quite a bit of time trying to upsell us different upgraded models. I wouldn't mind this normally, but they ended up using nearly 30 minutes for the sales pitch and counted that as part of my rental time. This means the rental period started from the moment they greeted me, not when we finished the process, and 80% of that time was spent on upselling.

Luxury sedan: Mercedes C Class automatic or similar model, but there was no similar model when I arrived. They tried to convince me to upgrade to a luxury model at a higher price, claiming that because I had rented from them before, I could get this higher-end model at a very good price. Additionally, I had purchased full insurance, but they claimed it was partial insurance (unsure what partial insurance means). Then they mentioned an excess of 2000 pounds, and when I asked more questions, they refused to check. I called the rental company's customer service, and an Indian-looking employee at the store spoke with the customer service representative for about 10 minutes. When I went over to ask further, they said the excess was now 250 pounds, which seemed like bargaining. I then called the customer service directly, and they said they would report to their supervisor. I decided to take the car for now.

Old, damaged, scraped, dented car! Embarrassing having to drive it around

The Vauxhall I was provided was NOT EQUIVALENT to the Skoda Octavia I booked. The Blutooth dis not work (greyed out in the menu). The AIR-CONDITIONING DID NOT WORK (in the hottest two we3eks in England's history)!!!
