They were the best host. We came up North to visit family for the 4th of July. Flight got canceled and we had to rebook to another airport. They offered to pick us up at the new airport and take us to the hotel. Pretty awesome service. I ended up having family come get me but they were amazing hosts. They were able to drop the car off to the hotel we were staying at which was 45 minutes away!! The mini van was so clean and rode great. Thank you again for all the help!!

Amazing experience! The car ran perfectly and had plenty of space for my family. I have four kids, and it was comfortable for all of us while getting to appointments and running errands. My kids absolutely loved riding in this vehicle. The hosts were professional, kind, and easy to communicate with. If any questions or issues came up before or during the trip, they were quick to respond and more than willing to help. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and excellent customer service. Thank you for making our trip so easy and enjoyable!

Maged was very helpful when we had to switch the main driver on the reservation due to illness. He has excellent communication. The van is comfortable and rides well; it does show ordinary wear for a 2017, but nothing that was a concern. The price was extremely reasonable for our 6 person group, and the van was perfect for our needs.

I came to this car in a pinch when our primary car was taking longer than normal at the shop. The car is in great condition and runs great and the hosts are amazing and incredibly accommodating. I had to extend our trip by a day due to the mechanic and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Will absolutely consider them first whenever I need a car locally again. A big thank you to them!! Highly recommend!
