"I needed a car for a weekend road trip and found the perfect SUV five minutes from my place. The whole thing took less time than booking a rental at the airport."

"My car was sitting in the driveway five days a week. Now it earns me over $900 a month and I barely notice it's gone. I wish I'd started sooner."

"Way better than a traditional rental. The owner met me at my street, the car was spotless, and I paid half the price. Drive mate completely gets it right."
