"Really impressed. Not only did Mati give me the choice to upgrade my vehicle free of charge but when, the night before I had to return it, I unexpectedly had to spend the night in an A&E department in a hospital Slawek was so kind and understanding and extended my hire free of charge. I recommend them very highly. They are the best."
