I always love when you experiment with technology, and take it seriously, as I like to do. This was clearly a very honest person and the owner of this car has made it so that I have a positive experience in entirety since it was my first rental without being a formal car rental place at an airport, but I treated a fellow local person car with the same respect and it was left in the same respect, as if they were doing test drives and trying to sell it, it was impressively clean and there was an auxiliary cord for every type of cell phone for hands-free usage. The host was very informative and understanding, also responsive and seemingly extremely patient with my first experience but I would happily not only use the service again but I would also happily wrench the same car, I imagine I got really lucky but if people always treated each other this well then we would have less problems I think. Regardless outstanding experience!!!
Wonderful 10 out 10. I highly recommend a truly appreciate you and this time of need of letting me use your car as a rental. I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy the rest of your time rent your vehicle out to Toro. It is worth it. you are a wonderful person.
