This was a great car for my trip. The host had fantastic communication and was even kind enough to let me pick up early. I had a full car most days and everybody was very comfortable. This was my first time using the app, and I'm glad I started here. Highly recommended if you're a first time user. Thank you!

The car was clean, in great condition, and fairly easy to pick up. CarPlay and the A/C both worked well and were essential for our trip. One thing future renter should know is that you are expected to wash and vacuum the vehicle before returning it. I think this is common, so it is not a big deal. The owner provides access to a local car wash subscription, so there is no additional cost, which is nice. If you are from out of town, it may help to ask or lookup ahead of time which car wash locations to use and how the subscription works. Not all locations had self-service vacuums, and it took us a little time to figure out the process. Another thing future renters may want to plan for is the rear seat entertainment system. The monitors powered on and seemed in good working order, but we were never able to get video to display using our Apple devices. My guess is that something like a Roku stick or Nintendo Switch would probably work better. Overall, the vehicle itself was excellent and worked great for our trip.

From start to finish, the process was smooth and efficient. The online booking was straightforward, and the customer service team was both friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring I had all the information I needed before my pickup. When I arrived, the staff welcomed me with a smile and made the check-in process quick and hassle-free. The car I received was in excellent condition—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and ready for the road. I appreciated the transparency in pricing with no hidden fees, which made budgeting for my trip even easier.I will recommend it.thank you
