Wei was extremely communicative and provided all of the information I needed to utilize the vehicle. He worked with me to ensure I was able to pick up and drop off at times that worked for both of us as well.

Yujun was great! He explained everything very clearly so that I felt comfortable driving his RV. We had a great weekend and it was the perfect size for the 3 of us! We will definitely do this again some time!
