Third time I've used Afford Stafford
Third time I've used Afford Stafford. I visit almost every year and hire a car for 3-4 weeks at a time. Phil and his team always look after me with excellent vehicles and, at the end of the hire term, no problems. I'll keep using Afford Stafford now for every visit.
