Jason was very communicative and friendly, and he made the rental process smooth and easy from start to finish. The vehicle was easy to find and the trip itself went really well overall. I ended up giving 5 stars because I had a positive experience overall. My only suggestions would be, if possible, to have a spot available for renters to leave their personal vehicle during the rental period and to give the exterior of the car a quick spray down before pickup. Other than that, I’d definitely rent from Jason again.😇
