Budget Car and Truck Rental

Before I bought my new work van eighteen months ago I had an old Ford Transit, and because of the mileage I was doing, it was off the road quite often.

They comfirmed and we figured everything would be fine. We were dead wrong... When we got to the airport and went to the budget car rental service we hoped, to get our car right away and live happily ever after. We had our reservation and figured everything ... more

I booked car for hire through an internet booking agency and paid a small deposit towards the quoted cost.
