Joshua was a great host and the Toyota Yaris was exactly as described. The car was clean, reliable, fuel efficient, and perfect for getting around town. Pickup and drop off were easy, and communication was smooth throughout the trip. Would definitely rent from Joshua again. Thanks!
This is a great little car. No frills or intense technology you don’t know how to use. It gets great gas mileage and gets to to and from.
