The van was PERFECT for our trip. Ran great and was super clean. We had an unfortunate incident where damage occured to the vehicle and Roy was incredible. Dealing with something like that on vacation is super stressful and Roy was incredibly kind and understanding. We visit the area every year and will definitely rent again. Thank you for an exceptional experience.

The host was quick to set up the car and get us on the road. The van had wear and tear, and a maintenance check the whole trip but it didn’t affect anything in our driving. Drop off was 10 minutes shy of the airport so not to bad.
