Ratings and reviews

The service in itself is great. But while on desktop searching for available car is easy as it shows a timeline graph for their availability, there's no such thing on the app. This forces the user to enter a desired time frame and hope that an available slot will appear, in a mindless trial and error exercise. This is especially grating in Cork, where only a handful of cars are available.

Finding vehicle availability is largely guess work. It would be easier to see when is actually available and choose from there. Additional fuel surcharge doesn't seem to have been removed despite fuel prices moderating. Vehicles are rarely, if ever, clean inside or outside.

It's not the app, it's the service. First ever booking, the car doesn't even start. I just terminated my booking after speaking to phone helpline to try and sort it out. At least I am getting refunded but it kind of messed up my plans. Not sure I will use again
