Good Experience

The experience with aquarius was ok. rnthe fuel policy is 'take half-full return empty' so they do charge for half tank of fuel. but this is clearly stated in rental terms u0026 conditions and almost all other agencies in malta so there are not many options.rni paid by credit card and there was a 3% fee for this (no fee to pay in cash) which i had no information about before.rnthe car was in excellent condition (almost new). the overall experience was very good.
