The car was immaculate. No issues. Check in and check out was a little confusing, I was told it could be because of browser use and not working through the actual app. Price was great. We washed the car as a thank you and appreciation of how we received the car.

Super easy trip. I needed to empty just a few things left in a storage facility in East Texas, and since I had just traded my 2018 Ram Promaster City out for a Tesla, I was delighted to find this one because I knew it would be an amazing drive, and it was! The team left simple instructions and the van was easy to find. Drop off was just as smooth. I would rent again from them in a NY minute. 🙌🏻 Thank you!!

Had a great experience renting Johnny’s 2021 Toyota Sienna for our beach trip! The van was super clean, in excellent condition, and drove great the whole time. It had plenty of room for everyone and all of our beach gear, which made the trip really convenient. Johnny was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the pickup and drop off process quick and hassle free. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I’d definitely rent from him again. Highly recommend!
