The host Amir couldn't have been easier to work with. From the first moment at booking the rental, to the pre-trip information and instructions, all the way through the drop off, Amir was easy to reach and thorough in his help and support. The rental was amazing as well. Very new and clean with plenty of space and amenities for a family of four. The trailer towed easily behind my standard pick up truck. We had an amazing trip and would without a doubt book again with Amir in the future.

Could not have been happier with this rental experience. The van was outfitted thoroughly, had everything needed for self-contained camping. Kevin was wonderfully communicative and helpful throughout the whole experience. Highly recommend. A++
