Hello, I'm Mari Len.
Please help us keep the car clean. If you have been walking on sand or dirt, please do a few taps of your foot and shoes on the ground to get most of the sand off before getting back on. ⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT - always keep the car tidy and clean, and return it ready for the next borrower 🧹 📸 EXTERIOR photos – couple photos per side of the car 🚐 (so at least 8 photos, and potentially some closer photos of bigger damages) These photos are really important. If any damage is later found on the car (whether exterior or the interior), we’ll need these photos to show that it happened either before or after your trip. Also, those photos help me keep the car in a clean condition that hopefully, you found the car in.

Anton - Toni•February 2026•
Enjoyed the rental. And host was very responsive and accomodating. Would ren again. Just be aware the car is in the Area of Aldi not Spencer street as shown on the map when locating cars.

Fun
Adrian•January 2026•
Host is great and very helpful. There are however two so critical flaws, that made the experience bad. 1. The car is in a deep basement garage, which means that internet connection is essentially gone. Since the app requires to be connected when doing the pickup, I had to ascend to the ground multiple times to upload the needed photos in each stage of the pickup. This flaw cannot be mitigated if the location of the pickup remains the same. 2. The car key that is included does not have capability to lock all doors of the car. There is no electric buttons on the key, just a manual key and the central locking of the car does not work then locking manually. The only way to lock the car while parked is using the app. However, you need internet and the Drive Mate app to work to lock the car. One time I was not able to unlock the car after parking, so I used the key to unlock the car. This set off the alarm of the car. These flaws could be mitigated by offering a car key with an electronic locking/unlocking option. If these flaws are not corrected, I would not recommend renting the car.

Rao Kamran •December 2025•
Perfect experience
Olivier•December 2025•
Very nice car, drove smooth!
Tom•December 2025•
Good car. Great host.
Rao Kamran •December 2025•
Overall, the car was good and comfortable for the trip. Mari was excellent very friendly car owner and communicated clearly throughout the entire journey. If you’re looking for a reliable car for your trip, this vehicle is highly recommended. There was a slight squeaky noise from the brakes at very low speeds (around 10–5 km/h). Also, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were not connecting during the trip.
Akilnarayanan•December 2025•
Great
Faisal•December 2025•
Decent car, easy to drive. Old and high mileage but no issues for me. Great value
Robin•December 2025•
Great Host, fast response
Dennis•December 2025•
This car needs serious maintenance - it felt unsafe to drive at times. There is a concerning ticking/crunching sound when braking which felt like they may have given way at any point. It was unsettling to see it hadn’t been serviced since 2023, honestly, I should have cancelled the booking. While you did help us resolve the CarPlay issue relatively promptly, I was shocked to see that I was then charged $1.50 for it - something that the car was advertised to include. It’s a shame as I’ve rented from you a few times now, I sincerely hope you service your fleet.
Alex•December 2025•
has arrived in time but no response about 15 min when pick up the car, otherwise good experience.

We couldn't find the car spot location at the very start cuz it said in the profile that it was at the 3rd floor, which is not accurate at all. Other than this, it was a good trip after all

Juliet•November 2025•
All good
Cheng Sian•November 2025•
I wouldn’t hire this car again in a hurry as it was not parked where it said it was going ti be and the USB port didn’t work so I didn’t have CarPlay for directions, and the car park is a bit of a mission to get in and out of.
Flora•November 2025•
Great host, good to drive when the weather is sunny. Easy to find parking but the signals of the car hand brake cause issues and delays to start. I don't mind the car body was crashed in driverside when picking up. Cleaning is not good as some rubbish or soil leftover. As a old car. It is fine to drive. Return parking is smooth.
Dennis•November 2025•
Great, it was very smooth pick-up and drop off..
Laxmanan•November 2025•
Very spacious, and a nice vehicle to drive, would highly recommend and book again!

Great host, fast and friendly after DRIVEMATE app falsely overcharged my card after return the car on time. Fuel reimbursement $20 of DRIVEMATE is not received after a week And previous fuel reimbursement $12 is not received after 5 weeks chasing. Car is fine for short trip with old mechanic issues of the chairs, chips and dents, scratches on old car body. DRIVEMATE map led to wrong carpark.
