“Great van to rent — comfortable, and drove really well. It was very responsive on the road and had useful features like a phone holder, Bluetooth connection, and a reverse camera which made the trip much easier and more convenient. Overall, a smooth and hassle-free experience. Would definitely rent again!”
Amazing van super spacious very welcoming and fast and easy, will definitely rent again
Jimmy is a great host, communication was on point! Van was clean, easy to drive and I had no problems. They dropped off the van earlier than the drop off time which was great, so I didn’t have to worry about that. I will definitely rent from Jimmy again, especially this van!
Excellent van, really loved it and it was easy to collect and drop off. Arrik was super accommodating. Would definitely rent again.
Awesome van, very handy, and the trolley was such a nice touch. John was very accomodating and an excellent host to deal with. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great experience renting the iLoad. The van was clean, reliable, and drove really well. Weverton was friendly, easy to deal with, and made the whole process smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend.
Van ran well, hosts were easy to deal with, pick up and return at airport garage was pretty straightforward, good alternative to major car rental companies.
Great van, and very easy process by host. Will definitely rent again in the future
Although it was our first time using this app to rent a car for a trip and we weren’t very familiar with some of the procedures, our Australia trip still ended very smoothly and safely. The owner was also very friendly and responded to messages promptly. Definitely recommended.
The van was in great shape. Ed was a very friendly and helpful host. I'd rent from Ed again.
Everything was great and the van fit our needs perfectly for our trip. Thank you, Gregory!
Best place to rent a van, if I ever need to rent a vehicle definitely going here. Highly recommend, they are flexible and will work with you.
Had a great experience renting this Hiace van. Collection and return process was smooth and hassle-free. The van was reliable, clean, and had relatively low mileage, which made the drive comfortable. There were a few old scratches and dents, so I’d recommend taking photos before driving off just for reference, but everything was straightforward and as expected. Overall, a very good rental experience.
Amazing van in pristine condition. Drove like a dream. Comfortable fit our family of 8 with a baby cat seat, stroller, and lots of luggage. We’d definitely rent again!
Very Convenient van for group trips, comfortable to drive and was a breeze to deal with the host.
The Van was great, held as much people i needed to tour the family & friends. Lots of space at the back storage for luggages. The 2 issue i have was the suspension squeaking at the rear of the Van and AC filter at the front might need to change. Overall it was a great rental for 2 days.
