The sprinter van is in great condition. It worked perfect for our short girls trip. Jose was super responsive, even when we ran into a hiccup of locking the keys in the car he immediately remotely unlocked them. Will definitely rent it again!

I had a great experience renting from Bam on Turo. The car was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and hassle-free, and communication was on point the whole time. Bam made the process easy and stress-free, which I really appreciated. I would definitely rent again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable ride!

Pick up location was awesome, host was Amazing, when I arrived to pick up the truck he was cleaning it and shinning her up, the van rides very smooth, Air was so cold we actually rolled the windows down a bit because the kids where so cold. Eazy pass was the ultimate best, not having to worry about tolls and the lines was a breeze. We had a family of 9 and was very comfortable, rooming and tinted windows. Love love love this vehicle so much I’m already planning our next family trip and will definitely book with this host. Thank you for your great service.
