Mike was fantastic to rent from! Communication was quick, clear, and courteous from start to finish. The car drove amazingly well, was very comfortable, and the heated seats were a great bonus. It also had excellent gas mileage, which made the trip even better. Everything was exactly as described, and the entire rental process was smooth and hassle-free. I would definitely rent from Mike again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great rental experience!
