Toyota CAMRY 2023

I recently rented a Toyota Camry from Alexander, and the whole experience was fantastic. The car was spotless, well-maintained, and drove smoothly the entire time. It was very comfortable, fuel-efficient, and perfect for both city driving and longer trips. Alexander was also a pleasure to deal with—friendly, professional, and quick to respond to any questions. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, making the rental process stress-free. I highly recommend renting from Alexander if you’re looking for a reliable and comfortable car. I’d definitely rent from him again!

Edward has been so so kind and nice, helpful all along from the beginning to the end of this trip. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to rent a car. He gave us all the valuable insights about traveling as well. He even offered a lift going back to the city(maybe it's because it was too late) anyway, he was the best guy on Turo.

Toyota YARIS CROSS 2025

Pickup was a little annoying as the car changed and I had to pick up from a different address than advised but it’s a great car… not as small as I thought.

Toyota CAMRY 2023

I’ve rented many times off of Sixt and Enterprise etc so was quite skeptical of the competitive price off an independent rental car company. It turned out that not only was the Toyota Camry a good deal but also an extremely smooth process from start to finish, other than the slightly longer process of taking photos of the car upon pick up and drop off Alexander and team were far smoother, and communication was much more instant than with a larger commercial company. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and plan to do so in the future, thank you so much!
