Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class 2019

We would like to thank Carlos and Laci for providing such a great vehicle. Thanks to this car, we were able to spend Mothers Day shuttling our elderly family members around in luxury to enjoy the day to the fullest. The Mercedes is in excellent condition, drove perfectly, and caused no issues during the entire rental period. The owner was responsive, answered all our questions quickly, and was very helpful throughout the process, especially during the turn in process where my old phone was not cooperating. Host expertly assisted in getting this mission accomplished. The SUV was exactly as advertised. As the need arises, we will be back to rent from this wonderful Host again! Thanks...

Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class 2020

I recently rented the 2022 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 from Anatolie. The booking process was easy and the customer service was helpful. The vehicle I received was clean/well-maintained and a full tank of gas. The pickup/drop-off process was smooth. One thing I really liked was affordability, variety of fleet cars Anatolie with, fuel efficiency. However, I think they could improve on better discounts for 3-7days. I will note I was personally offered a discount from Anatolie. I had the vechile from 2/22-3/7/25 ( I did requested to extend multiple times and I think I received $20 off to extend for two more days after Turo fees). Overall, I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking to rent a car. Nonetheless, I was very satisfied with the 2022 GLC 300 Mercedes ( I drive the 2018 and definitely am considering upgrading to this one). My rating: 5 stars!! Also I was offered a huge discount on my reservation with Anatolie. Thank you for your great customer service Anatolie I took good care of the vehicle and replaced the fuel looking forward to doing business again. God Bless!

Danny was an amazing host from start to finish. Super friendly, available, accommodating, and made everything very easy for me. The Mercedes S550e was incredibly comfortable, smooth to drive, and had great gas mileage as well. You can tell he really cares about making sure everything goes perfectly. I’m visiting from Paris, France, and when I come back to California, I’ll most likely rent this car again. Thanks again Danny!

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2025

We rented the 15-passenger Mercedes Sprinter Van for a weekend trip from Seattle to Wenatchee for the Rufus Du Sol concerts at Gorge Amphitheatre (Jun.5-7), and it was absolutely perfect. With a group of 15 friends traveling together, comfort and reliability were a huge priority, and this van exceeded all expectations. The Sprinter was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable for the drive. There was plenty of room for everyone and our belongings, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The vehicle drove smoothly, had excellent fuel efficiency for its size, and made the entire experience feel more like a luxury road trip than a rental. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the communication throughout the rental process was outstanding. Having everyone travel together added so much to the weekend, and the Sprinter became part of the experience itself. Between the winery stop, the concerts, and all the memories made along the way, this rental helped make an unforgettable weekend even better. Highly recommend to anyone planning a group trip, concert weekend, wedding shuttle, wine tour, or special event. We’ll definitely be renting again! 10/10 experience. Thank you for helping make our Rufus Du Sol weekend one to remember! 🎶🚐✨

Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 2012

I had an absolutely fantastic experience renting this car. From start to finish, this luxury SUV delivered comfort, space, and smooth performance – everything you'd expect from a Mercedes. with a clean interior and strong engine performance. Despite being a 2012 model, it drove like a dream, with quiet handling and plenty of power for highway cruising. The **spacious cabin** made it perfect for my family, and the trunk had more than enough room for luggage. Kristof provided clear and helpful instructions, including the easy-to-follow return If you're looking for a **reliable, comfortable, and premium SUV rental**, I highly recommend Kristof’s Mercedes GL-Class. Five stars all around – I’d rent this again in a heartbeat!

The car was immaculate when I picked it up — spotless inside and out, extremely well-maintained, and drove like an absolute dream. It was reliable, smooth, luxurious, and made every trip feel first-class. The host was equally outstanding: professional, responsive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire rental period. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and the whole process was seamless. After driving this car for over a month, I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a luxury vehicle that’s stylish, comfortable, and dependable, this is the one.

The host went above and beyond to make sure everything was easy, convenient, and welcoming from the moment we arrived.
