The rental process went well and the host was easy to deal with. Vehicle had a missing trim and minor blemishes. It was well cared for and maintained. It fit our party well and had plenty of room. The host was super flexible with the pickup and return process. The vehicle drove well no handling issues and no issues during the trip. Will rent from them again.
The 2017 Ford Transit that we rented was nice, clean, and in very good condition. This vehicle is excellent on gas. Even with the high gas prices now, the Ford Transit ran a long ways before we had to refill on fuel. Mr. Isaiah is a very nice person with great customer service. The previous person I was renting from, vehicle was not ready at rental time. Mr Isaiah was there to save our trip!. Anyone needing a Transit vehicle, I highly recommend renting from Mr. Isaiah. I most definitely will rent from him again.

Van rental was easy with multiple videos showing how to utilize the wheelchair strap down. Sophia was great to deal with. (5 stars) Turo website and app are TERRIBLE (0 stars) Even though I have used Turo in the past, every logon required me to call customer support to get out of Verification hell. Codes were never sent to my phone or email. Get your act together Turo!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Car Rental Review – Passenger Van for California Trip We rented a passenger van for our trip to California, and it worked out perfectly for our group. Space & Comfort: The van had plenty of room for everyone to ride comfortably, with good legroom and space for our bags. It was a nice balance between not being too big to handle but still big enough to keep the group together. Driving & Performance: The van drove smoothly and handled well on both highways and city streets. It was easy to maneuver, even in tighter parking spots, and it felt safe and reliable throughout the trip. Convenience: Having one vehicle for the whole group made traveling so much easier. We could all ride together, chat, and enjoy the journey without needing multiple cars. The air conditioning kept everyone cool, and the van’s layout made long drives more comfortable. Value: Renting a van was much more affordable and convenient than trying to book separate cars. Gas mileage was decent, and the rental cost was worth the comfort and ease it gave us. Overall Experience: For group travel in California, a passenger van rental is a great choice. Comfortable, practical, and reliable—it made our trip stress-free and fun. Highly recommend!
