Great rental experience with Jeff, who was able to honor my reservation with another vehicle in his fleet when there was a scheduling conflict with the original car booked. He's a responsive host, and the car was clean and well maintained. I look forward to renting with him again!

Great car. Handles well. Convenient host. Interior and exterior of the car are in great shape. Runs a little rough and could maybe use a tune-up. Vent fan is squeaking. But still a fun rental.
