Pros:
Nice car and helpful office staff.Cons:
I was confused about the side-street route to get back to the rental office even though I could see it off to the side as we drove by again...and again. The sat nav directions were either confusing or wrong. Please note this was not a problem with the staff.One location in Maidstone
