Great experience with this host. Car was clean, communication was detailed and responsive, and Full Self Driving on the Tesla was impressive. Had minor issue with software feature not being enabled upon entry but after notifying John he quickly resolved and it was not an issue. Would definitely rent from this host again. John quickly and accurately responded to a few questions I had over the rental period.

I wanted to see what a hybrid Corvette was like as I plan to by a Corvette in Q1 2027. I thought for sure I should get a Z06, but after experiencing the all-wheel drive of the E-Ray, I'm not sure. This thing is amazing and impressed everyone everywhere we went. Its also very well taken care of and the host is a car guy.
