Very Great host. He was welcoming and very helpful and respectful. I will definitely use again
I had an amazing trip in Rebeccas Audi Sq5.This car was the perfect blend of performance and practicality - sporty yet spacious, with a luxurious interior that kept me comfortable. The drive was superb , powerful acceleration, and the Quattro all-wheel drive made handling secure in both wet and dry conditions. Rebecca was an excellent host - thoughtful touches like included USB cables made connecting my phone seamless. The tech suite was fantastic: cruise control reduced fatigue on highways, the 360-degree sensors made parking stress-free, and Apple CarPlay kept navigation and entertainment effortless. If you need a car that's fun to drive yet family-friendly, the Sq5 is a brilliant choice. Rebeccas hospitality and the car's premium feel made my trip even better. Highly recommend!
Car behaved well during the trip. Only approx. 100K miles driven since 2013 at the time of writing so car in good condition.
“I had an absolutely fantastic experience renting this car! The car was an absolute dream to drive—smooth, comfortable, and really fun. The owners were so genuine and kind—super easy to communicate with, and really went the extra mile to make everything perfect. I couldn’t recommend them enough—such a lovely experience all around!”
Great car and great owner. Tunde was very flexible with the pick up and drop times which was really appreciated.
ZXR was a great experience, nice guy when I wasn’t able to get the car to him on time, he came to my location and collect the car himself ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
