This vehicle was a pleasure to ride it. The excitement of driving a vehicle that use to be a cop car was a adrenaline rush for me. The gas mileage was a real treat for me especially with gas prices being so high. I will most definitely rent again.

Host didn’t clarify that she did not want her vehicle to be taken out of state but there wasn’t anything mentioning that we couldn’t in her listing. After getting clarification from customer service they told me I was fine to do so. Just started off with some communication issues but was able to get resolved quickly. She was very lenient with allowing us to return the car later than expected which was very generous of her and that helped us a lot. Besides that everything else was good, the car drove like an absolute beauty, would love to rent again.

I had a great time using Mara’s Bronco! I rented it as a present for my Mom’s birthday. We loved getting to drive around town in it. Mara dropped it off to me at my house and also picked it up. It was super convenient! If I ever need an SUV rental, I definitely could see myself getting it from Mara again.

This unique swimming hole, formed by the collapse of an underground river dome, features a stunning 50-foot waterfall cascading into a jade-green pool. Your Ford rental's comfort comes in handy for the short drive from the city, ensuring you arrive refreshed and ready to explore. Remember to make a reservation in advance, as this popular spot often reaches capacity during peak seasons.


Immerse yourself in art at the Blanton Museum
