The rental process went well and the host was easy to deal with. Vehicle had a missing trim and minor blemishes. It was well cared for and maintained. It fit our party well and had plenty of room. The host was super flexible with the pickup and return process. The vehicle drove well no handling issues and no issues during the trip. Will rent from them again.
The 2017 Ford Transit that we rented was nice, clean, and in very good condition. This vehicle is excellent on gas. Even with the high gas prices now, the Ford Transit ran a long ways before we had to refill on fuel. Mr. Isaiah is a very nice person with great customer service. The previous person I was renting from, vehicle was not ready at rental time. Mr Isaiah was there to save our trip!. Anyone needing a Transit vehicle, I highly recommend renting from Mr. Isaiah. I most definitely will rent from him again.

Van rental was easy with multiple videos showing how to utilize the wheelchair strap down. Sophia was great to deal with. (5 stars) Turo website and app are TERRIBLE (0 stars) Even though I have used Turo in the past, every logon required me to call customer support to get out of Verification hell. Codes were never sent to my phone or email. Get your act together Turo!
An amazing Van rental experience without going to the counter. Renter, easily handed me the keys and the 2025 mercedes benz, it was a pleasurable experience. I most definitely will rent again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Car Rental Review – Passenger Van for California Trip We rented a passenger van for our trip to California, and it worked out perfectly for our group. Space & Comfort: The van had plenty of room for everyone to ride comfortably, with good legroom and space for our bags. It was a nice balance between not being too big to handle but still big enough to keep the group together. Driving & Performance: The van drove smoothly and handled well on both highways and city streets. It was easy to maneuver, even in tighter parking spots, and it felt safe and reliable throughout the trip. Convenience: Having one vehicle for the whole group made traveling so much easier. We could all ride together, chat, and enjoy the journey without needing multiple cars. The air conditioning kept everyone cool, and the van’s layout made long drives more comfortable. Value: Renting a van was much more affordable and convenient than trying to book separate cars. Gas mileage was decent, and the rental cost was worth the comfort and ease it gave us. Overall Experience: For group travel in California, a passenger van rental is a great choice. Comfortable, practical, and reliable—it made our trip stress-free and fun. Highly recommend!

Exploring London's iconic attractions and hidden gems from London City Airport
From London City Airport, you'll find yourself perfectly positioned to discover the capital's most celebrated landmarks and local treasures. The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace await your visit, while trendy areas like Shoreditch and Camden offer unique cultural experiences. Your rental van ensures comfortable transportation for your entire group as you navigate between the historic City of London and modern developments along the South Bank, making every journey as memorable as the destinations themselves.
Tower Bridge and the Historic Tower of London
Standing majestically over the Thames, Tower Bridge represents one of London's most photographed landmarks, offering spectacular views from its high-level walkways. The nearby Tower of London houses the Crown Jewels and centuries of royal history within its ancient walls. Parking can be found at nearby car parks, though spaces fill quickly during peak tourist seasons. The surrounding area features cobblestone streets that are easily navigable, and your hired van provides ample space for any souvenirs you might collect from the gift shops.
Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament
The Gothic splendour of Westminster Abbey has witnessed royal coronations and weddings for nearly a thousand years, while the iconic Big Ben clock tower dominates the London skyline. Parliament Square offers several parking options, though you'll want to arrive early to secure a spot. The area bustles with political activity and tourists throughout the day, making it an ideal location for experiencing London's governmental heart while enjoying the architectural marvels that define British heritage.
Greenwich Maritime District and the Royal Observatory
Greenwich combines maritime history with scientific discovery, featuring the famous Cutty Sark ship and the Prime Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory. The area offers more generous parking facilities compared to central London locations, making it particularly accessible for visitors. Your rental van allows you to transport picnic supplies for enjoying Greenwich Park's expansive green spaces, where you can admire panoramic views across the Thames toward the city's gleaming skyscrapers. The National Maritime Museum provides fascinating exhibits about Britain's naval heritage.
Camden Market and Regent's Park
Camden's eclectic market scene pulses with alternative culture, vintage finds, and international street food from around the globe. The nearby Regent's Park provides a peaceful contrast with its formal gardens, open-air theatre, and London Zoo. Street parking requires patience and careful attention to restrictions, but the vibrant atmosphere makes the effort worthwhile. The area's diverse dining options and unique shopping opportunities create an authentic London experience away from traditional tourist circuits.
South Bank Cultural Quarter and London Eye
The South Bank stretches along the Thames, connecting the London Eye's panoramic views with world-class venues like the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. This pedestrian-friendly area encourages leisurely exploration, with street performers and riverside cafes creating a festive atmosphere throughout the year. Nearby parking facilities serve the area, though booking ahead is recommended during festival seasons. Your hired van ensures you can easily transport any artwork or books purchased from the numerous galleries and bookshops that line this cultural corridor.

Having your own vehicle gives you complete flexibility to explore London's diverse neighbourhoods at your own pace.
What should I know before I start driving in London?
London operates a Congestion Charge zone in the city centre, active Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm, plus an Ultra Low Emission Zone covering most of Greater London. You'll drive on the left side of the road, and parking restrictions are strictly enforced throughout the city with various permit zones. Most London streets have speed cameras, and the city features numerous bus lanes that operate during specific hours.
Are there toll roads near London City Airport?
The Dartford Crossing, located southeast of London City Airport, charges a toll for vehicles crossing the Thames between Kent and Essex.
