I couldn't have had a better experience. My rental was even kinda last minute and Alex was amazing and helpful. The car is so worth renting for an out of town trip. Drives wonderfully and actually pretty great on gas too when I used Eco mode. I'd definitely rent from them again.

The car was great. There were some questionable stains but that's to be expected with the cars age and everyone renting. The host was nice and checked on me during my trip which I appreciated. I would like to make a suggestion of the host adding prepaid fuel as an option in extras. It was expensive for an extra 30 minutes and the vehicle needed to be returned. Other than that the host was great and has very nice communication.
