Car is reliable and safe. It’s not new or flashy but it gets the job done and the price is right. I couldn’t get the tablet to work so if you rely on your phone for gps you’ll probably want to bring a phone holder. The key battery seems to be close to dying but it didn’t present any issues, just something for the owner to note. Overall 10/10, would absolutely rent again.

David’s car was excellent. Communication was easy, and the vehicle was in pristine, showroom-like condition at pickup. It was fuel-efficient, drove smoothly, and the A/C worked great. No odors—just that new car smell. I’d highly recommend renting from David and would rent from him again.

Host was very accommodating. He met us at the airport drop off line so we didn't have to pay for parking. Car was basic, but price was very competitive and it everything we needed to enjoy our family vacation. Lots of space for our luggage, and has wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto! AC blew nice and cold. Thank you Alex!
