Tunde was a fantastic host from start to finish. Communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The car was exactly as described, clean, and drove perfectly. Pickup and drop-off were straightforward, and everything was handled professionally. I really appreciated how easy and efficient the trip was. I would definitely book with Tunde again and highly recommend him to others.
The car was super clean, at an easy location to find, super friendly host, even had the insurance papers all ready adding extra precautions and making me feel safe to drive the car knowing that I shouldn’t run into any problems and if I did, I had the relevant documents to hand to prove that the car and me were insured - which was well thought off. Micah greeted me with a nice smile and was very present and available at pick up/drop off with active messaging. I had few teething problems with the car but again, Micah was super accommodating and helpful throughout my trip. Plus it had full tank 🤩🤩🤩.. I would absolutely book again !!
Great host, very good hospitality. The car is very nice, Drove around 1600 miles from london to Scotland round trip. Would recommend booking with her.
