James is excellent with quick communication and made the process as seamless as can be. Being a compact sedan, it’s surprisingly wide and my passengers were quick to point out how good the rear seat legroom was. It also has wireless Car Play and the gas mileage is excellent. I will definitely be renting with James again!
