Nick is great, friendly chill guy. The car is very cute and cozy, definitely older so can make some sounds but was a reliable car during our trip and took us to where we needed to be. Overall, great experience considering the price relative to others in St. Johns.

Best turo experience. I loved driving his car and e plowing all the island had. I 100% recommend this guy. It got me everywhere and anywhere. I shout out to the people who lent me this car and I appreciate the experience you gave me throughout this week. I had an amazing time. Please rent from this guy. He's so chill

The car was comfortable and reliable, and Hamed was helpful and friendly in both pickup and return. Overall a great experience, especially when there was literally nothing available from traditional car rental companies. My only note—and I’d have given 4.5 stars if that were an option—is that the car was very “personalized” or “lived in” in a way that wasn’t comfortable for a rental. I’d suggest seat covers, ornaments, dash cams, and other trinkets and attachments be removed before handing a car over to the next renter.

Lovely! Dulara was great; very responsive and helpful. We were running late picking up the car due to flight delays but it was no problem. She had the car ready, key in the cup holder, ready to go. Drop off was just as easy. Lovely people. Would rent from them again without hesitation.
