The host was excellent throughout the whole process. Communication was very good, he was friendly and easy to deal with, and he made the whole car rental process simple and stress-free. Everything was straightforward from start to finish, and I would definitely rent from him again.
Overall, a solid car rental experience. The booking process was seamless, and the car was reliable, and drove perfectly.
Great experience! The drive was super smooth, and the Golf can easily manage about 143 miles on a single charge without any issues. Charging was completely hassle-free. Alhajie was incredibly helpful and lent us a Type 2 cable, which is great for cheaper charging (takes about 3-5 hours). If you are in a rush, just plug it into a fast charger for 40 minutes and you are good to go. Quick tip for future renters: If you want to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, make sure to bring your own data cable. The cables provided in the car are for charging only. The car does show some signs of wear and tear both inside and out, but it didn't bother us at all. Everything was awesome! Highly recommended.

Communication was quick and friendly, and the pickup and drop-off process was smooth and hassle-free. Derrick was accommodating and made the whole rental experience easy and stress-free.
