Randy’s jeep was in fantastic condition and was the perfect vehicle for our trip to Key West. Pick-up and drop-off was a breeze, and we were about to get in/out of the airport while others were still in line at the rental counter. Added bonus, Randy communicated really well throughout, but especially at pickup when it was pouring rain and we were able to change locations to the covered area so we didn’t get soaked. Thanks!
