Recent reviews
This car rental experience was very good. The owner, Parlay, was so courteous and friendly, and easy to communicate with. He was extremely helpful and accommodating when our travel times changed. The car was lovely to drive and served us well for our amazing 2 weeks stay in England.. Thank you Parlay.
I had an excellent experience renting Moinul’s BMW 320d! The car was comfortable, economical on fuel, and an absolute pleasure to drive. It was perfect for my UK road trip, handling long motorway journeys and winding country roads with ease. The BMW was clean and well-maintained, and I really appreciated how comfortable it was even on longer drives. The fuel economy was impressive, making it an ideal choice for anyone planning a road trip. What really made the experience stand out, though, was Moinul himself. He was friendly, professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental. The collection and return process was straightforward and hassle-free. I would happily rent from Moinul again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great car and an excellent rental experience!
This BMW was exactly as expected — clean, well presented and a pleasure to drive. The host was excellent: very responsive, helpful and easy to deal with throughout the trip. I had a great experience and would highly recommend both the car and the host.
I had a great experience renting this car. The whole process, from picking it up to dropping it off, was really easy and straightforward. All the instructions were clear, which made everything hassle-free. The car was very well maintained, clean and ran smoothly throughout the rental. It also came with a full tank of fuel, which was a nice touch. Although I didn’t need to contact the host during my rental, he came across as very approachable and helpful. Overall, a really positive experience, and I would happily rent from him again. Highly recommend!
Great car, excellent host! BMW 520 was in great condition with full tank fuel. The guys are very professional and accommodating. I'd definitely rent from their fleet next time
Had the best experience with the car. No issues were experienced. Would definitely book again. Host was very responsive.
Wonderful car, great experience all around! Thank you, Jim for being accommodating and helping make our trip memorable!!
Cicero was very communicative, very flexible as I needed to expand the trip, he was a pleasure to hire the car from.
Excellent, everything was perfect, communication timing, the car is fully equipped, consumption is very low. Best experience.
Car was clean, good to drive, and very economical. Host was pleasant to deal with and very accommodating.
This car was great. Very small to help ease the navigation of the narrow London streets, but big enough with the back seats folded down to fit all 4 of our suitcases and then some. As American tourists, driving around in the UK proved quite stressful, but our host made things as easy as could be by meeting us right at the airport with the car. He was very patient and communicative the whole time, and quick to reply to any messages we sent. Would gladly rent again.
