Jim and his co-host were all amazing. The service that Jim provided was a 10/10 and communication was great at all times during our trip. The vehicle worked perfect for our 3 week vacation, the vehicle was clean and we ran into no issues during our trip. Pick up and drop off, of the vehicle was easy and Jim provided clear instructions during this process. If you are looking to rent a vehicle on Turo, I would 100% recommend Jim at all times. I will definitely be renting from Jim again in the near future. Thanks Jim for your service and it was a pleasure to meet you.

Returning the van was also easy, since we were 9, and staying in Oxford, it was so great to have a comfortable and clean van. In 3 days, we got to see so much. Thank you Kyle and Jenna

Perfect van! Perfect host! We used this van for a week with 6 of us which left so much room for comfort. Loved it. Runs forever on one tank, big enough to fit everything yet compact enough to park and navigate small streets/lots easily. We love this van
