Honda Accord 2026

Host was exceptionally easy to work with. This was a last minute decision due to things not working out with HERTZ. The car was clean and in perfect condition. I originally picked an SUV that was not available at time of pick-up, but instead of canceling, he had an even better option for the same price. This Honda Accord has a HUGE trunk space and safely fits 5 bodies. I would definitely rent from him again!

I kindle disagree with the pick up. First time I’ve had to pick car up at a garage. Landed right after 11pm and didn’t leave the garage until 12ish. They were short a bus which made the wait longer. Then still having to complete inspection in a tight parking space. Before All other host are just waiting around the arrival pick up but that doesn’t take away from the car experience. Very smooth, good on gas, and luxury for the price. Host excellent detail and communication. Thank you.

I can’t thank them enough and I hope that I can come back and rent a car from them again!
