Great owner, very responsive, let me continue to rent the car for a few extra days. The car itself is no bells or whistles but drives and is great on gas; I drove over 700 miles on two tanks!;

This guy who owns operates Gadget Rentals is very accommodating, will send a mechanic out to you if you have issues, very lenient if you drop off late or forget to pay for a night... He has a good heart. If turo said to file a police report because I forgot to pay, he literally will tell you first and obviously if you talk to him he would give you a little more time, as long as you pay your late fees and are true to your word. Thank you so much gadget rentals! I will recommend you to everyone!
