Everything was great with the car. Clean, comfortable, and easy to drive. Owner was quick to respond to messages. Pickup was straightforward, but a little time-consuming and an extra expense. Between a shuttle to the lot and taking all the initial pics, we had to pay $15 to pick up the car and the owner only gave us a $5 credit, so that added another $10 to the overall rental cost.

This was my first time renting a car, and it was such an amazing experience! We rented this car for a road trip with friends, and it was super comfortable with plenty of space for all our luggage. The host was also very responsive and gave us great recommendations. Everything went smoothly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first rental experience. Would definitely rent again!

The 2011 Sienna served my family well. Spacious, great value, no mechanical issues, and easy to follow pick up and drop off instructions. The host checked in and made sure I had all the info necessary for a smooth trip. I would definitely rent from Moon Rentals again when in the Los Angeles area.

Excellent! The car was exactly what we needed. It was very clean and everything worked perfectly! The best part was our host! Marcelo was absolutely amazing! I had trouble getting my phone working properly with the app. He went above and beyond with excellent customer service to make sure I knew where to go and how to get there. He was extremely patient and very kind. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without his help. I wish I could give him a 20-star review! I will definitely use him on my next visit. I highly recommend him as a host! By far the best customer service I have received with a rental car!! Thank you!
