Like everyone else, I was slightly worried due to the negative reviews, but everything went smooth and I even received a phone call earlier in the day to confirm the age of a child for the car seat. My only reservation was that we picked the car up at midnight and were told to take pictures of any damage since nobody is at the car, but it was in the dark, covered with rain and almost impossible to see the damage on the car, never mind take photos, which did leave me feeling slightly uneasy, particularly due to the very thorough inspection done on arrival.
