The host, was very informative and very pleasant to do business with. The car definitely served its purpose. It’s definitely not Tall girl friendly lol, but the host checked to make sure that everything was going well with the car mid trip, and when I needed to extend the reservation there was no hassle. I will definitely do business with the host again in the future. Thank you

Rogelio and the team were truly so kind and communicative with me at every step of the way. I had rented a vehicle from a traditional rental company, but due to the horrible storms and lack of power this season up in NWI, I was turned away at the counter and told there weren’t any cars as far as Chicago and Valpo. Because I was tied to business obligations and had no choice but to find an alternative, I had to pivot and came across Rogelio here on Turo. He was so incredibly flexible and prompt in his responses, and when things went haywire with the car’s brakes and it needed to be towed back to him, he didn’t cast any blame or get angry, he was simply glad for my safety and jumped into action to let me know how to proceed. He even offered me a discount if I would like to rent from him again in the future for the inconvenience, even though I was so concerned it was me who was inconveniencing him. Up until the issue with the brakes came about, the car ran smoothly and was perfectly reliable. Life happens, and sometimes these things occur by no fault of anyone’s own. Thank you so much to Rogelio and the whole team, you were superstars who helped me out of a jam when I was stuck between a rock and a hard place ❤️
