Recent reviews
I traveled with this van from NY to TX and back with no issues. It has great fuel efficiency (23 MPG on the highway), and the air conditioning works great. It has some dents, but this does not change the fact that it is a reliable and efficient vehicle. Eziz was very kind. Eazy comunication.
Van was good. One headrest was broken and the washer fluid was low but it didn't impact my trip. The owner is kind and responsive but I would recommend reminding them about the timing of your rental the day beforehand.
Trip was smooth transition. Trip was smooth. I would definitely rent again!
