This Maserati was perfect for driving the stunning roads and the smoky mountains. Jackie was super easy to work with and lovely to meet! I would definitely rent this car and rent from him again. One quick thing to note, not complain about, is that it is an older car so if you want to listen to your own music, bring an old-fashioned aux cord with you.

The TRIP was great, the host was the very best he could have been, but the booking system was TERRIBLE. We tried booking 2 times and the system bombed. Our HOST tried to book me 3 times before he was able to book the trip. TERRIBLE doesn't even start to describe the booking system.
