juantu Posted May 20, 2018 #50 Share Posted May 20, 2018 You are most welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. :) Looking to rent a car and saw that you rented from Juneau Car Rental. I just called and the vehicles we need are a 207 and 2008. Did you have any issues with your vehicle? If you want to send me a private message that is okay. I tried to send one to you, but I did not know how to do it.
