|Sept 2023This office in Lisbon was staffed by really helpful and friendly guys, and the transaction was super smooth and easy and fast on both ends. The car was great and the price we got online was excellent. The only problem we had is I didn’t realize Portuguese law apparently requires rentals to be made in exact 24 hour periods, so we had to bring the car back earlier than we wanted or pay another day, which would cost more than the two days we booked in advance and didn’t really make sense.

|Jul 2023Extremely overpriced and horrible service during the rent. Even roadside assistance number wasn’t working
