Disgraceful that I hear members are blocked from viewing the USB dash cam footage, if I had to drive VIP’s and had a crash, they would want to see it for court for example also, that €500 deposit, Is off putting, I’m a member of other Car/van share here in 🇮🇪 but they are decent and not charge any deposit. Charge if someone loses or damages usb for example.
Kayaking through the mangroves of this nature preserve was both a beautiful and educational experience. Jessica was patient, knowledgeable and fun. We had a great time.
Kayaking with Katie was amazing! She kept us engaged and taylored our activity to our two young kids. She found adventure at every stop and took awesome photos for us. 10/10 stars and will definitely return in the future!
Beautiful kayak paddling tour through South Florida mangroves; it’s like hiking through a forest except you’re in a kayak: narrow passages through shady mangroves, ducking under low-hanging branches, the silent solitude of paddles gently stroking quiet waters; the occasional sighting of bird or marine wildlife. Our biologist guide Dylan obviously loves his job as he patiently explained all the wonders we beheld. It was the highlight of our week in Naples. Highly recommend!
This is my third trip and Elliot was an awesome guide!!! It didn’t hurt that we had a perfect weather day and we learned so much about the local wildlife and the environment. Would definitely do it again.
We had a fabulous tour and learned so much. Dillion our guide was excellent. He was so knowledgable, personable, and paced our tour wonderfully. Highly recommend him and the tour company.
Great service! I really wanted a Tesla and they delivered. Easy to sign up, easy to book, easy to drop off. Will definitely use it again.
Excellent service. Originally booked a Model 3 but got an email to inform me it had been damaged a week before my booking and was upgraded to the Model Y long range. Car was in excellent condition, delivered to specified location with 91% battery charge and clean. Walkaround done with UFO Drive employee and existing marks/damage pointed out by employee and photos/videos taken on spot. Very easy handover and return, and a great car to have on test while my own ICE car was in for winter prep work. No issues with range anxiety either, covered 135km during the day and battery dropped from 91% to 76%. Charged back up to 96% in 25 mins at a fast charger (charging card supplied with car). Will definitely rent again in the future!
If you are wanting to rent an electric vehicle UFODRIVE should be your go to. I do not especially love dealing with people all that much and if you are like me you won’t have too with this company. We picked up and dropped off our car using just their app! Your phone is the key and if you need to alter your mileage is soooooo easy! We will surely be using this company when we travel in Europe or wherever they have locations.
The best rental company I've ever used. No human interaction at all - you come, get into car and drive away. It's that simple. Everything is done through the app. Cars are fabulous too, clean, fully charged and have everything you need.
