Customer Testimonials:

“Got my pickup arranged and driver came in 15 mins to commute us to car rental spot. At the place, our car was given to us within 5 mins. This is as hassle free as it can get.” – Adeline C.

“My experience with car rental companies are usually less than ideal. They usual hold too much money, cars are filthy, staff are dodgy, and have to make sure you still have both kidneys when you leave. Not this time. East Coast car rentals were great. The staff were warm and welcoming, even if outside was cold and windy. They were quick with the shuttle bus, and with getting us in a car and on our journey.” – Jacek M.
