Leornado - Rented a Dacia Dusters in March 2018

We just returned recently from 10 days around Iceland. We knew we wanted a car that could handle some of the F-Roads if needed and to get us safely around the country. After lots of research and debate we ended up renting a Dacia Duster from this company. We are so glad we did. Someone was there to greet us at the airport when we arrived and took us over to their office.
