Fantastic host and an amazing vehicle! The car was exactly as described, reliable, and drove perfectly throughout my trip. The host was incredibly friendly, responsive, andaccommodating. They were kind enough to approve my extension request, which made the experience even better and took a lot of stress off my trip. Communication was excellent from start to finish. I would absolutely rent from them again and highly recommend both the host and the vehicle to anyone looking for a great Turo experience. Thanks again!
