Didnt realise the actual company is Nippon Car Rental. The Service is efficient as it can be, when the bus drop us off at the pick up counter, they have already waiting for us with all the rental details. Once all details are confirmed, payment is made, the car is already warm up. Similar efficient

Locating the drop off point is a bit of a problem for us as we aren't sure of the route so it took us a while to reach the location. We also have some problem using the navigation system and end up using the google may on our hp instead. The car is in a superb condition when we took it, very clean.
