Distance from port. My fault for choosing an Aygo but definately need a more powerful engine. The sluggish engines increase chances of accidents. Also, prices could be better as only hired car for 5 hours.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
I reserved a car in the evening for the next morning, only to be called that morning and told there were no cars available. I had to look for a different company on my own to get a car, which set schedule back a day. While the reservation was last minute, they shouldn't allow people to reserve cars when they have none.2.0 Poor
