Pernell was a terrific host. He was so accommodating, friendly and very communicative. The rental process was easy and he went out of his way to make sure the car was available at the time we needed. We rented the Toyota Sienna. It is a beautiful car, so clean and drives very smooth. It is very roomy and tons of space for our large family. We will definitely recommend and rent from Pernell again. Thank you for renting to us and helping make this a great family trip!
