Well, it’s a Toyota, it saves gas, drives well, it’s clean and new, and has Apple CarPlay. Plus, Gyo is such a great host and so easy to deal with. If you’re still not sure what car to rent, go with him and you won’t regret it! A great host goes a long way. I’ll definitely rent again whenever I’m in town.
