⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So easy and hassle free Apex team were very accommodating and very helpful, definitely will hire again from Apex . Great value for money, thank you Apex.
Arrived to pick up my car expecting to get the Corolla that I had booked, Then I got told that my car was not available, So I asked what car am I getting and he said it’s gonna be a Toyota HiLux which I had never driven, when I went to the car I saw it was not what I wanted at all and thought how am I going to drive this? I then went back and asked the guy to change the car for something smaller and he said it was the HiLux or an 8 seater Pajero, So I said ok I’ll take the Pajero, which was no Corolla. The whole time I had the truck I was not happy and had trouble parking the thing, I was not happy with the truck considering I didn’t want it at all, I would not recommend
