Great van. Would definetly rent again. Great response time and van was very clean
Colin (and his family!) were amazing to deal with, very precise, thorough directions. The van is in amazing shape, clean and was a big hit considering we had 6 people and didn’t have to take 2 vehicles!
Deanor’s cars are ALWAYS perfect for whatever I need. This is the second time booking with him, and I had a couple of last minute changes I needed to make to my trip and he was very accommodating and always extremely nice. The car was beautifully kept and clean, and pickup and dropoff were a breeze! I plan on definitely renting with Deanor again and highly recommend his cars to anyone. This dodge caravan was perfect for my trip!
