Amazing!
Review of Rás Car Rental

Enjoyed very good service, and it was nice to get an upgrade to a Hyundai Tuscon SUV. I especially enjoyed the pickup at our hotel, and the dropoff was adjacent to our hotel at the airport. Very convenient!

Review of Rás Car Rental

Car was great, we spent 8 days in Toyota Hilux campervan, during colder nights we used webasto heating system. We crossed small rivers on road 208 with this car without any problems.
