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!

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.

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.

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.
