Large car rental company, the counter is prominently located at the airport. However, the contact number is never answered, which is very frustrating. Recommended for those with previous car rental experience. The counter staff's introduction during rental was very vague, with no details about the car, possibly assuming everyone has extensive driving and rental experience.
