Suzuki Jimny
6/15/25

Pros: So far so good! You will pay a high deposit on a y car and purchase insurance. Once you start driving around you will know why!!! Lots of dirt roads. You have to get used to it. The car did well. One flat tire due to a construction nail. Changed it ourselves in 30 min. All tools in the car. Rental place was super chill about it. I called them when it happy to let them know. Overall a great experience. Deposit is due to be back in 2-3 business days.
