My Story
The Journey of Kigil Auto Rentals
A New Chapter in Vancouver
Born for Adventure
Growing up in Montana, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and rushing rivers, I developed a deep love for nature and the thrill of the outdoors. Whether it was hiking, camping, or just soaking in the serenity of open skies, Montana gave me an adventurous spirit and an appreciation for life’s simple joys.
A few years ago, I decided it was time for a change and moved to Vancouver, Washington. The Pacific Northwest has been everything I dreamed it would be—lush forests, peaceful waters, and endless opportunities to explore. Moving here has been one of the best decisions of my life, and I’m still finding new reasons to fall in love with this region every day.
The Nature Lover in Me
When I’m not running Kigil Auto Rentals or working as an underwriter assistant (more on that shortly!), you’ll often find me with a fishing rod in hand, enjoying the quiet rhythm of the water. Nature has always been my happy place—a source of peace and inspiration. It’s also one of the reasons I love connecting with fellow adventurers and helping them get on the road to their next destination.
The Kigil Auto Rentals Story
It all started over 2.5 years ago when I began renting cars on TURO. I had no idea it would grow into something this exciting! Hundreds of happy clients later—with over 250 five-star reviews and a nearly perfect 4.99 rating—I decided to take the leap and offer direct rentals. Kigil Auto Rentals was born from the simple idea that renting a car should be easy, honest, and affordable.
Now, I get to do what I love: help people get where they need to go, whether it’s a cross-country trip, a weekend getaway, or just errands around town.
It’s About Peace of Mind
Flexibility Makes a Difference
Every person and every trip is different, and that’s what makes this work so rewarding. I enjoy working with people to find solutions that fit their plans, whether that means arranging for a specific pickup time or accommodating last-minute needs. It’s all about figuring out what works best for you.
It’s About the Journey
For me, this business is more than just providing cars—it’s about helping people get where they need to go and making the process as smooth as possible. Whether it’s a road trip or just getting through the day’s to-do list, I like knowing I’ve made someone’s journey a little easier.
One of the things I’ve learned from my background in underwriting is how important it is for people to feel secure and informed. That’s why I take extra care to make the process straightforward and transparent. If questions come up about coverage or insurance, I’m always happy to talk through them and make sure everything is clear.
Honesty Matters
I believe renting a car shouldn’t come with surprises or hidden fees. Keeping things simple and upfront has always been important to me, and I’ve built Kigil Auto Rentals around that philosophy.
Why I Do This
Running Kigil Auto Rentals has given me the chance to meet amazing people and be part of their stories in small but meaningful ways. I take pride in making sure everything runs smoothly so my clients can focus on what really matters—their plans, their adventures, and their time on the road.
