In the world of rental cars, homes, etc. this has been one of the top experiences I have had so far. Matt and his team made it as easy as could possibly be for us. We rented this van for my wife’s wine tasting birthday trip with eight of us total there was plenty of space. It did very well on gas, it was easy to drive, and the back was conveniently sectioned off to have plenty of space for luggage and what not. The van is in very good condition, it’s seen a little use and has some minor wear and tear, but I would take it again in a heartbeat. Also, it was in the high 90s, but the AC on that thing worked phenomenal! We had such a great time and this made the logistics so much easier. From the time of booking until the time we returned, the van all in all could not be happier with the overall easiness of the service, response from the owner whenever we needed it, and convenience. Will definitely be in touch again for the next go around!
