Ford Focus 2013

Overall, I had an excellent experience both with Adam and the Ford. The Focus performed well, and if you rent, you will come to love this car for all its characteristics, charm, reliability and dependability!! I can not speak more highly of the host. Adam was patient, understanding and re-assuring in regards to answering questions,as well as, addressing and assisting with any concerns/"hiccups" along the way. My long term rental was a personal journey of rebuilding. Without the Ford and Adam's flexibility, reliability and dependability, as a host, I would not be where I am in life today. Whether you're looking short or long term, I HIGHLY recommend Adam, and he has an array of vehicles for ANY adventure! I will definitely rent again from Adam in the future and next time a different adventure!
