Everything was very good the car was new and very comfortable, and the driver was friendly and approachable. Our only suggestion is for the platform to make the pick up location entry more accurate. Even though we provided the correct hotel name and address, the voucher showed a different location. Fortunately, the issue was resolved with help from via WhatsApp, but we ended up leaving an hour later than planned because of it
