I have mixed feelings about this .
I will list out both the pros and cons of this
Pros
1. Preston is a genuinely nice and friendly guy
2. He was very communicative and prompt
3 . We booked and cancelled once due to a snafu and he promptly returned our money . He didn’t have to do this , but he did
4. Preston is trying to do what a lot of others are doing in Kauai , by renting their vehicles as a camper vans
Cons
1. The car had safety issues . The airbag light was on . If we ended up in a collision , I am not sure what would have happened
2. The mattress was literally coming apart and torn in pieces . It’s disappointing to not have a good mattress when this car is your home for 1 week
3. The car was beaten up and in a pretty bad shape overall
4. The sheets had some kind of stain which we didn’t want to question and know
5. Also there was no option to buy insurance . I couldn’t even buy insurance off the internet as there was no legal contract to drive this car around
6. I am not sure this is even legal according to airbnb terms and contracts as I think you are not allowed to drive the vehicle around and it needs to stay parked . I learnt about this after I had rented and paid all the money .
I just think for what we paid , this car was not worth it . Anyways . If I look back , I should have done more research .
