The van was in great shape. No issues at all during the trip and the host was great in terms of communication. Excited to get back out there again with his van.

I absolutely LOVE this van. Michael is also an exceptional host. He was super helpful when I had questions and offered advice on the trip. I would work with him anytime. In fact, I planned this trip to leave out of Seattle, just so I could rent from him again. I'd 100% recommend working with him on a van rental and renting this particular vehicle.

Pickup and drop-off were super smooth, and the trailer was cozy and comfortable — ideal for the windy, wet autumn weather on the Olympic Peninsula.
