Pros:
Pickup in Bristol was excellent. Very friendly staff; provided an extremely nice car and the price and value were great. Car was a hybrid so hardly even took gas.Cons:
LHR is pretty closed down so it was kind of hard to find my way from the drop off rental location to the airport hotel.6 locations in Bristol

Pros:
Staff great.Cons:
It wasn't made clear during the booking process that this was through the US site and didn't include collision waiver (as this is normally included with US credit cards). Upon arrival for pickup it was requested that we pay an additional £12/day for this insurance as we were paying with a UK credit card which didn't have this cover. This should have been identified during the booking process to forewarn or prevent non-US clients from booking on the site.One location in Bristol
