Host was easy to reach and is very communicable. My flight arrived earlier than expected and adjusting the pick up time was easy. The Rivian I rented was clean and problem free. I would definitely book again with Keith.

Car pick up was super simple and seamless. We just showed up at the airport and the car was ready to go. The guys were super helpful whenever we had questions during our reservation and they were really responsive. Overall 10 out of 10, if I fly into CVG again, I will be using Phantom rentals.

booked this car for my football trip to Ohio, and the entire process was seamless. The car ran great, and everything went smoothly. My only issue was having to pay a $24 parking fee because the car was dropped off the day before my arrival. Other than that, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it!

The Tesla was not cheap but it was worth it. I'm so used to letting it drive that I was willing to spend the extra money. Service was good although it took me a while to get used to having to enter a pin to drive.
