Great experience from start to finish. The van was clean, reliable, and perfect for our basketball team trip. We returned it in good condition and really appreciated the smooth rental process. Would definitely rent again and highly recommend for anyone needing reliable group transportation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to Dammy for providing such an excellent vehicle and making the whole rental process easy and stress-free. We had no issues at pickup, and communication throughout the trip was great. Dammy was also very accommodating when we needed to extend our rental for an extra hour, which we really appreciated. The van fit all 12 passengers comfortably along with all of our luggage, making it perfect for our trip. Everything was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Definitely a 5-star experience, and we would gladly rent again in the future.
Easy to find at the airport, faster than the rental counter, large car at a reasonable price.
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.
Absolutely made our trip!! We had friends visiting from out of town and the van was the perfect addition to ensure we could all go places together. We had every seat filled and every single person was still extremely comfortable and safe!! Beautiful vehicle and the rental process could not have been any smoother.
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.
Excellent experience! The van was clean, comfortable, and ready when promised. The rental process was quick and easy, and the UG was friendly and professional. I would definitely rent from him again.
The van was super helpful with our trip with all of our friends. The service was super nice and easy. I would recommend this van rental business to all my friends who need a van in Vegas.
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!
Nick was an excellent host! The 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described.

Communication was great, and the entire rental process was easy from start to finish. Highly recommend renting from Nick!
An amazing Van rental experience without going to the counter. Renter, easily handed me the keys and the 2025 mercedes benz, it was a pleasurable experience. I most definitely will rent again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
