The Mazda Miata was so much fun and ran great. We thoroughly enjoyed our car rental and Casey was amazing!

Mazda Miata 1993

How can you go wrong with a Miata? Casey was an excellent and responsive host, and his Miata runs and handles as it should.. Pickup and dropoff at BGR was easy, and of course, the car rental companies at the airport don't offer anything nearly as fantastic as Casey's Miata! We need more cars with manual transmissions and no more silly infotainment screens!

Cole was an amazing host from beginning to end! Always responded so quickly! We had zero issues with the entire process and the car was perfect for our trip! Has all the bells and whistles/extremely clean/drives very nice! Such great size too for visiting Acadia park where parking can be tight! My husband and I would definitely rent from Coke again.

Mazda Miata 1993

This was my first time renting a car this way. I got to say it was AWESOME! The car was in fantastic shape and drove like dream! We got A LOT of attention and especially enjoyed the cassette collection! We will only go convertible Miata Fr here on out! The Uber ride is minutes from the airport and the owner is great. I can't think of one good reason to own my own Miata when I could just rent this sweet Dixie cup!

It was a late pickup. I knew it was in short term parking but not exactly sure where. I was able to find it easy enough, but would have preferably had a little more detail. Car was locked which I understand but again just a little more detail of the process. Nice car.
