I rented this Smart car thinking I’d get good gas mileage and a quiet ride. What I got was a monster-truck-meets-go-kart fever dream. This thing is lifted like it’s trying to pick a fight with Jeeps twice its size. I had to climb into it. I’m a big ol boy and felt like I was entering a clown car with self-esteem issues. And the exhaust pipes? Racing pipes on a Smart car is like giving a hamster a megaphone. Every time I hit the gas, it sounded like a bumblebee was drag racing a chainsaw. Heads turned. Children pointed. A Prius cried. Handling? Shockingly good. I could park on a dime—and with that lift, I could probably park on a dime. I drove over a curb just because I could. No regrets (not really Eric don’t fine me🤣🤣) 10/10 would rent again. Not because it made sense… but because it didn’t.
Very respectful and show me everything to do with the car I recommend rent a car from them anytime
Personally the smart car wasn’t the best to take to Temecula due to wind noise because of the convertible top but I just needed something cheap for a work trip. Did it save me gas? Yes. Was it cheap to fill? Yes . That’s all I needed. I wouldn’t mind renting the smart car for around town plus I never driven one so it was a good experience. Definitely gonna rent another car from Josh’s lot this summer
Made the trip. Wouldn’t rent anything but the smart from here on out. Convertible was lit and the radio was bumpin.
Megan provided world class customer service, excellent communications, and the car was just great. I give Megan the highest possible review. Rent from her with the highest confidence.
Smart car is like a caricature of a vehicle and for that I enjoyed it. However it has a weird get up and go
Car and Charles were great. Terrific experience. Hope to rent the Smart Car again.
Great car for a great rate! If I need to rent a car again, I will be looking for this car. It does not take much money to fill it up.
Fun little weekend car enough space for 2 guys, 6’1 and 6’3, fitted okay. Used for a wedding.
It's a fun little car. Easy to find and no issues with the process. Had a small issue with the car, but the owner made it right. 5 stars.
Laurent est très arrangeant et sympathique, et la petite Smart est trop bien à conduire, aucun problème ! que ce soit en ville ou sur l'autoroute. Je recommande à 200%
