Made a great car for the week for my daily commute while my car (was still) being fixed. Minor things that did not impact the car experience overall for the week, the back up camera was pretty cloudy and not that great to use and there was only a key provided, not a key fob for entry.

Excellent vehicle. The owner was extremely polite, professional, and attentive throughout the entire rental period. I had no issues at all. It was necessary to replace the rear windshield wiper, as it was worn out, and after informing the owner, he promptly resolved the issue, demonstrating responsibility and commitment to customer satisfaction. The car is very fuel-efficient, especially considering it is a 4x4. I was very satisfied with both the service and the vehicle, and I decided to rent the same car for two more weeks. I highly recommend renting from him, as he provides quality service, reliability, and excellent customer care.

This was the easiest car rental we've ever experienced. The owner was an amazing communicator and the car was perfect. Genuinely, major kudos to the owner for their communication as there was a possible issue with the reservation that they addressed before we checked in and the owner went above and beyond with how they resolved it. We would absolutely rent from them again
