Tosh was an amazing host from start to finish! His communication was outstanding, and he made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free. Everything I needed was either taken care of right away or clearly explained so I knew exactly what to do. The 2024 Toyota Sienna was an excellent vehicle. It drove great, was extremely comfortable, and was amazing on gas, which made our trip even better. I honestly wish every state had a host like Tosh! If you're looking for a reliable vehicle and a host who truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend booking with him. Thank you, Tosh, for making our trip such a great experience!
The van The van was exactly as described—clean, spacious, reliable, and perfect for our family trip. It drove great, had plenty of room for everyone and our luggage, and made traveling comfortable.
