Hi,
I have rented the Peugeot 108 (purple one) from the Coxheath branch for a week as our car was stolen. Booking was smooth. On the third day of having a car (I do very little journeys a day - about 10 miles) I went to the car park and saw flat tyre. Could not repair it with the kit provided (as it was out of date and solid- unusuable), asked friend to use their kit. Went straight to tyre place to put a new tyre to find out that this car was involved either in accident or gone over big pot hole as the rim on the outside (not a worry) and inside was damaged. The workman which changed tyre said

Van hire...for a day. Van was good it did everything we needed. But when picked up the engine management light was on and it needed a oil and brake service. Not what you would expect when hiring a vehicle.
