This was my first time ever using Turo, and Peejay was a great host! He made the entire process easy from pickup to drop-off. The 12-passenger Ford Transit van was very clean, drove great, and was exactly as described. Communication was excellent, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely rent from Peejay again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, spacious vehicle. Thanks again for making my first Turo experience such a great one!
