The car is good for the price. It has GPS and the host also provided a phone holder. The host is friendly and responsive. Overall I recommend this car.
Great car for the price and it drove well. The usb chargers were a nice convenience. Salman was quick to respond and friendly.
I rented this car for a 1 week trip and drove around the area with it. Communication with Salman the host was very simple and quick, and he was very friendly and professional the whole time. Pick up procedure was very smooth and convenient and the location was also very convenient, as I was staying downtown and it was only 10 minutes away by transit. The car was well maintained and clean, and it was very reliable during the whole trip. The music system had a couple of issues but it did not impact my trip. I appreciated that the chargers were higher quality because it was important for me to have my phone charged during such a long trip. All in all I had a great experience and I would rent with this host again when I return to Nova Scotia.
