The car was great! I loved all the extra features (airplay, backup camera). I needed a weekend rental while here working from out of state, and this was perfect. I appreciated that I was able to get it delivered, as well as a high mileage allowance. I definitely would rent again on my next trip!

I can’t say enough how great of a host Ricardo was during this trip. Our car was clean, charged, and dropped off to us early. Ricardo was always available to answer any questions and kept us up to date, including giving us a 10-minute heads up that he was about to arrive for pickup. And, even though the description did not mention it the Tesla has Netflix included. Just like Airbnb or VRBO, Hosts are critical to the experience and I would rent from Ricardo again.
