### 2/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-07, version 6.18.1*

I was supposed to turn in the car and communication with them letting them the whole time I get kicked off the platform for being 1 hr late. After being told that it would be fine. Please don’t rent from them they don’t provide good service.

### 1/5 — Unlimited miles

*2026-07-28, version 6.18.1*

Unlimited miles is a lie (BIG LIE)

### 5/5 — KINTO Loved Jerry Lee Hines Senior of Jerry Hines SR TV on YouTube

### 1/5 — La peor compañía

*2026-06-17, version 6.17.3*

Mala atención,mucha diplomacia y jamás te solucionan el regreso de los depósito,no quieren dar comprobante de las milllas que supuestamente te pasas.!!
Sinceramente son abusivos y se roban tu dinero

### 5/5 — The best!

*2026-06-16, version 6.17.3*

The cars are always clean inside and out. It’s extremely easy to log into the app and check out the car and the customer service is always quick to resolve any issues.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-24, version 6.16.4*

Very convenient

### 1/5 — Held Reliable and OverCharged for Faulty Equipment

*2026-05-17, version 6.16.4*

The tire blew and the spare tire was busted. I wanted to return the car but since the spare was busted they advised me their team needs to tow. Which was going to be $250- out of my pocket + they keep the entire $200- deposit for the new tire. 

I was told I was responsible for a new tire. I bought a new tire and put it on the car and they still kept my $200- deposit. 

Racking my bill up for the rental to $1600- 

That’s also just because I have AAA and had to order 2 tow trucks myself and they also informed me I can’t have my own tow truck return the vehicle. 

I’m really upset working with this company.

### 1/5 — Incomplete Submission Process

*2026-04-09, version 6.16.0*

I need to resubmit my driver’s license but the interface does seem to have a way for me to do that.

### 5/5 — Good experience

*2026-04-06, version 6.15.6*

Very easy to pick up and return vehicle. I like the no contact p/u and return. Just wish they had a location in Santa Rosa, CA

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-03-07, version 6.15.4*

Really cool
