David was communicative, pickup and drop off was easy with clear instructions, car drove well, overall very satisfied with our experience. Great cost friendly alternative to bigger car rental companies with a lot more flexibility, but come with the right expectations (i.e. don't expect a squeaky clean car)

Had an absolute blast with this Mustang 🔥 Easily one of the highlights of my trip. The car itself was unreal — clean, powerful, and just a dream to drive around for a few days. You can tell it’s been really well looked after. But what really made the whole experience was the owner. Super easy to deal with, great communication the whole way through, and just an all-round top guy. Made everything smooth from pickup to drop-off. Would 100% rent again without even thinking twice. If you’re on the fence — just book it, you won’t regret it. Thanks Corey!
