Ivan had been a great host throughout the process: booking, arranging, picking up, dropping off. The car was very clean and spotless, the trunk was so spacious, which made going on a weekend trip perfect. The interior was also spacious and comfortable to drive with a group of 5, a 10/10 experience. Ivan was clear with instructions, incredibly accommodating - we had to shift our pick up time and drop off time, and Ivan was not a minute late to ensuring that the transfer was smooth. A seamless experience throughout!
