Volkswagen Jetta 2017

Miklos was absolutely fabulous! Communication was informative and quick. In and out of Tweed airport can be tricky sometimes but Miklos was patient with the delays and was in constant communications. This was the first time I used Turo. Upon arrival there were 4 planes held on the tarmac because of lightning. I can’t imagine waiting in the car rental line with 4 planes full trying to get cars at the same time. The Jetta was very clean and fabulous. I will most definitely use Miklos for future trips.

Nick is at the top of his game. This is the best experience Ive had renting a car..ever. He is professional, courteous, delivers excellent communication and even checked in to see how my experience was. The car itself was immaculate inside and drove perfectly. He answered any questions I had. I feel that he truly actually cares about the renters safety and overall travel experience. He definitely deserves more stars than five. Will absolutely rent from his fleet again in the near future.

Juliana is a wonderful host, there was a last minute issue with the car I was supposed to get and she saved my weekend by offering a replacement. This car upon pickup was clean, drove good, and gave me a safe trip all around. The pickup was swift and easy, I was out of there in less than 5 minutes. I would definitely rent with her again, she made what almost became the impossible, possible.
