Awesome time - This was our 5th time renting a Jeep through SMJR and once again, we were well pleased! We love experiencing the Smokys in a Jeep. Always a pleasure doing business!

Great Experience, Start to Finish. - Coming from Michigan, the Beautiful, Winding Roads, and Climbing/Descending, through the Mountains, was really a Pleasant change of pace. The Clouds covering the Mountains, the Wildlife and Streams, were straight out of a Painting. The Jeep handled the trip easily. Even the 6 miles through the Backwoods from Cades Cove to the Tail of the Dragon, there was no issues. Easily Rented, Easily Returned, just an easy process. The Ladies at S.M.J.R. are knowledgable, friendly, and took the time to answer our questions, and even the ones we didn’t!

Great customer service! - I was really looking forward to this! Sadly the weather didn’t cooperate. Many roads/backroads that we were going to go on were closed. They called us that morning to let us know and gave us the option to switch to another day or cancel. Sadly this was our last day, so we had to cancel. I love how this company put their customer first! We will definitely be using them next time we come down!

Perfect 50th birthday present! Awesome company to rent from! - Absolutely perfect! I rented an one day rental for my husband’s 50th birthday. It was perfect thanks to SMJR! Jeep was in fantastic shape. Check in/return process was smooth and fast. Trip suggestion, via map, was laid out amazingly well. We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed the day. Will definitely rent from SMJR again.

Highly recommend these guys! - SMJR is a fantastic company to rent from. My husband and I have rented from them the last 2 years for our vacation and next year plan to do a 2 day rental. The jeeps are very well kept and the service is professional and courteous. I highly recommend them for your vacation fun!

Jeep Tour - We had a fabulous time riding around in the Smokies in the Jeep. They recommended a few routes and although we ran out of time to get to the majority of them, the ones we were able to do were beautiful. They took the time to show us how to take the soft top off and on and answered all our questions. The price seemed a little high but it was nice to be able to go where we wanted and not have to depend on a guided tour. The only thing I was a little troubled by was the play in the steering wheel. It may just be a thing with Jeeps and it ended up not being a big issue. The Jeep itself was in good shape and clean. The left rear view mirror woudl not remotely adjust. They thought that they may have gotten the wrong door on the Jeep when they had them all off at one time. It was not a problem. All in All, we had a great time and the Jeep was wonderful.

1 day Jeep rental - not clean enough ; worn out vehicle - The rental and check in process was very smooth and instructions on how to operate the jeep, including putting the roof on and off were very clear. While I recognize it’s an “off road” vehicle, I would have expected the inside to be much cleaner than it was (just like any rental car). It was kind of dirty (grime along the dash and seats stained) and smelled pretty heavily of a perfumed cleanser. Pretty pricey for what you get. The vehicle also had 100,000 miles on it and handled as such- loose steering/clunky. I think it’s overrated for the price and wouldn’t do it again.
