Great little car and rental experience...very economical Corolla and comfortable and drove well.. bit of confusion between it getting 'checked-in' at the airport with Hertz not informing Ace we had dropped off at appointed time forcing Ace to contact us a few days after wondering where car was...all in all a positive experience!!

Okay|Feb 2019

Car was reliable and handled well.

Luggage capacity was not as described for the class. Had to drive with rear seats folded down, making it obvious we had luggage. Meant that it wasn't possible to sight see to and from the airport.

Trunk (boot) was too small with what we reserved. Would have been nice to know ahead of time, but it was a really easy change. Super nice employee helped us get into something bigger. Made it a very easy change.

Car size description was off. Car is smaller than we hoped it would be. Seemed expensive, but demand was high.

Poor|Feb 2023

We got a flat tyre and there was no spare. Could not use the car for 2 days. Impossible to find out how much they charge for replacing tyre (tyre was irreparable). Spent hours on the phone only to be told they could not tell me how much it would cost, so I had to replace tyre myself. Very frustrating.

Well your fee did not include the one way drop off fee etc so it was double what was quoted. Then we ended up not needing the car 20 minutes later and they charged us for the entire car

Very good|May 2022

In hindsight, I would have hired a bigger car than a Swift. It was a wee uncomfortable as every bump on the road was felt. I'm not sure whether because the car was too small or because the tyres were an inch thick. I prefer the regular standard tyres which can absorb the bumps and have a comfortable ride instead of slick-looking tyres with a bumpy uncomfortable ride.
