Pick up was easy. Mario responded quickly, or a reasonable amount of time. Wasn’t able to figure out Bluetooth or aux, but I think that was just a personal issue

Great experience. There was an with the A/C but Mario fixed immediately. Then, I needed to extend the trip by an hour and Mario was gracious to approve that. Grateful for the service. Will use again.
