Jimmy is a great host, communication was on point! Van was clean, easy to drive and I had no problems. They dropped off the van earlier than the drop off time which was great, so I didn’t have to worry about that. I will definitely rent from Jimmy again, especially this van!

This was perfect to be able to see so many beautiful spots on the island. I would just take into consideration where you plan to shower because that can be a challenge. But this provided us a lot of freedom to explore the island!
