Albert and his other co-hosts he works with are A1. I've never once had a problem with the car, and I'm almost always either a few min early or late and they've always accommodated me without making me feel bad or like I'm inconveniencing them. That's worth more than you even know on this app. If you're trying to decide who to rent from, stop looking. If you're on the San Fernando valley there is no better bang for your buck, across the board. And I've tried ALL the hosts. These dudes have their stuff together, have been doing it forever, seamlessly operate like 30-something cars... seriously I can't say enough good stuff. Stop looking and book it before I do!!!

Such a convenient experience! My personal car’s engine light came on and was undriveable at 12:30pm and I was in this rental by 2pm! It looked and smelled clean. Response time was also excellent. Because of this car, I was able to keep my weekend schedule of driving my kids to their sports activities on time. Thanks again!
