Dave is a great host to work with. The Bronco was immaculate in every detail. Very clean non-smoking vehicle and was perfect for our trip around Maine, and the bottles of water were a nice touch too. There is nothing negative that I can say about this transaction. Dave is very quick to reply to messages and was very personable and helpful making very good recommendations to locations around town. I would definitely recommend Dave as a host.

Easy pickup and drop off. Communications were good. Vehicle was not in the best condition. Probably would not rent this specific vehicle again, but would have no issues working with the host again. He was very professional.

Terrific jeep! Host was responsive and kind. I am sensitive to mold and chemicals so I am always concerned with rentals, but this was clean and worked great for our trip.

This neat little car worked out perfectly for our trip. We visited little towns along the coast. Having the convertible option really made the fair weather parts of the trip extra fun! Also helped take in the scenery better. An unexpected benefit was the smallish size and tight turn radius of the car. Really made parking anywhere for the whole week a breeze! Ajoulyn was a pleasure to deal with. Excellent, timely/responsive communicator on all things to do with pickup, delivery, and any nuances of the vehicle about which we had questions. Highly recommend this vehicle as an alternative to utilitarian rental options!
