Stan’s van was excellent. The van was exceptionally clean, pickup and drop-off instructions were clear and easy to follow, and communication was smooth throughout the trip. The vehicle itself was practical, comfortable, and perfect for our purposes. I would gladly rent from Stan again and highly recommend this vehicle to others.

Luis and Lily were fantastic in communication while picking up as well as dropping off the car. Luis had this super clean smoke free ride waiting right outside of baggage claim for our convenience. This spacious car had plenty of room to accommodate my family of five and baby and still had plenty of room for our luggage. This car gets great gas mileage for anyone looking for a budget friendly smooth ride with all of the bells and whistles. Thank you again Luis and Lily. And thank you for your service!!!!
