Waqas was a great host. He maintained easy communication and was responsive. His car was great. It was clean, well maintained and a joy to drive!
Waqas was friendly from the very beginning and maintained excellent communication throughout the trip. The pickup location was convenient, and he guided me clearly to find it without any issues. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was during Storm Dave, when many cars, including ours, got stuck due to severe conditions and heavy congestion. Our car like few others unfortunately slid off the curb in narrow roads of Isle of skye, causing some damage to the underside. I informed Waqas immediately, and his response stood out — he remained calm, checked on our safety first, and handled the situation with understanding and empathy. At the end of the trip, he resolved everything smoothly and professionally, even taking care of the process himself without burdening me with unnecessary paperwork. This level of trust and fairness is rare, especially compared to some hosts who might escalate such situations unnecessarily. I would highly recommend Waqas as a host — reliable, understanding, and genuinely human in his approach.
