First off I would love to thank our host William (Jose). He was very communicative a week prior and gave us a run down on how well maintained the vehicle wa, as well answered all my questions. He advise me how the unit was taken care of with new tires and a recent oil change prior to the trip. The vehicle was in great condition and got us to our destination safely and gas efficient. Through out the journey he was very responsive and helpful with any information I needed. I can say if I need another unit from his fleet I would no doubt go for his rentals. Also he is willing to help with pick up or anything else just ask prior and trust me you won't regret renting.
