Report
I would certainly use again. Found them to be the cheapest car hire for a small car for a months hire. I didn't like the first car they gave me so after a week I took it back and they swapped it for a different model with no hassle or issues. The car was due back on Monday but I returned it on the Saturday morning as that was more convenient for me and they gave me a refund that I wasn't expecting for returning it early. If ever I need to hire a car again TJS will be my first port of call.
