Amazing Host! Very responsive, car matched the listing, clean and reliable, no issues driving. They even reached out during my trip to make sure everything was okay due to a warning they received for maintenance. Highly recommend renting from Danny’s Car Rental!

A perfectly functional little car without bells and whistles. Best for people under 6ft. I felt like the steering wheel was a little far where I needed the seat to be for my feet on the pedals. But it wasn’t an issue for my shirt visit and this is a good deal.

The car was amazing. Drove well, Steering and braking were smooth and the car itself was very clean outside and inside. Service was great, quick verification upon pickup and even quicker drop off. I also needed to extend the duration of my trip due to some unforeseen circumstances and the loaner was more than understanding.

It was a great experience. The owner was very communicative and helpful. The car drove really well. There was some squeaking in a few things, but it’s a 12 year-old car with over 100,000 miles on it so that is to be expected. All in all I would rent this car again. And work with the owner.
