Although we had an initial problem with the car because the clutch was failing, they were incredibly helpful, responded immediately, and did everything they could to fix it. In fact, they even brought us a new car to where we were. We are very grateful and highly recommend them.

Essentially a scam, do not use them
This was not as described. The rental was not with a ‘local’ it was a rental car company pretending to be an individual.
The collection was not where it was detailed.
The person (3 separate people to contact to pick up the car) were rude and unhelpful.
They did not have the specific car that I selected.
The car was filthy and stunk of smoke.
Terrible experience and I will never use this again. Better off to rent directly with a reputable company!

Local actors, secure experience
The website was a good way to get into contact with local small rental orgs. The calculation of the price per day can be improved to include all costs. But overall the experience felt very safe and reliable.

Great service and exact car as booked.
We received the vehicle we ordered. Very low mileage, in perfect condition. The handover was efficient and the owner even dropped us of at our accommodation about 1 km away after we handed the vehicle back. Great personal service from a smaller supplier.
