The car felt very reliable when driving. Powerfull engine and spacious as well. It was just enough for my family of 5 on a 9 day trip. The fuel tank was full when I collected it, not like all the previous cars I used on Turo. Will definitely book next time as well.

Good car for a long-term trip! Pick-up and drop-off were easy to follow, in a good location (close to public transit), and right in front of a bus stop. Comfortable for long journeys too. Used this plenty of times for sightseeing!
