We really enjoyed this car! It was so much fun driving through the mountains with the top down, and it made our trip even more memorable. Unfortunately, the car developed a mechanical issue during our rental and had to be towed. While that was definitely unexpected, Todd was incredibly kind, responsive, and understanding throughout the entire situation. He communicated with us every step of the way and even told us not to worry about refueling because of the inconvenience. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests. Mechanical issues can happen with any vehicle, and I really appreciated how professionally everything was handled. I’d definitely rent from Todd again.
