Toyota Sienna 2016

If you want to rent a car, go rent a car. If you want to drive around like a local, rent from Esteban! Loved spending the week kicking around Maui in this Toyota Sienna. Spacious, solid, sturdy, complete with Maui bumper stickers… Really felt like I was living the island life. The van is older but well maintained, AC in working order, drives well and smoothly. Pick up and drop off was super seamless. Would happily recommend to families visit Maui!

Toyota Sienna 2020

Absolutely the best car for the Big Island if you have a group of 5 or more. Car fit our family of 8 comfortably, with out any fights in the 3rd row. The Toyota Sienna is the way to go! The Host were also on their game and very accommodating. The car was equip and ready to go, even a spare set of snorkel equipment in the truck. There is no reason to rent a car from the Airport, Turo is the way to go for now on! Mahalo!

Everything went smoothly. Car was dinged up a bit but ran great and fit my family of four plus luggage and surfboards just fine. Clean on the inside and the cooler and car seat provided were top notch. Will definitely try to rent this truck again during our next visit.

I will break my car rental experience (November, 2025) into 3 parts: Turo, car provider and vehicle. Turo. First time to use this app. Overall, simple and intuitive to use. It is a good option when compared to the traditional car rental companies. It was really nice not having to wait at the service rental counter. Car provider. Once you finish with the Turo process, you finalize all the details with the car owner. Daniel was exceptional to work with. He was timely and thorough with his responses to all my inquiries. Our flight arrived earlier than scheduled. I contacted Daniel and he had the car immediately available for my use. He was honest and trustworthy. At the end of the trip, I identified what I thought was a new chip in the paint. He reported it was present before the rental and not an issue. There is comfort in knowing there was no hidden agenda. Vehicle, Toyota Corolla, 2015. Don't let the age or size of the car deter you. The car was clean, dependable and satisfied all of my needs for 2 people. Hawaii may be dramatic with its natural wonders, but it is stingy with the parking spaces and roads (think road to Hana and Haleakala Volcano). We were happy to be driving this car instead of the SUVs and Jeeps that populated the parking lots and narrow, twisting roads. Overall, I would recommend Turo and HIGHLY recommend Daniel and his Toyota Corolla for your car rental needs in Maui.

The first experience of renting from Turo was very memorable. Especially with the car owner Mr Sourabh. Mr Sourabh was very helpful in every question we asked. He was always ready when we needed him. The vehicles we use are very well maintained, clean and comfortable to use. Apart from that, the price was very reasonable with car facilities that could help us lift quite heavy luggage. That is one of the added values ​​of this car. If you want to rent a car via the Turo application. Don't hesitate to rent this car with the very kind owner. Thank you Turo. Thank you Sourabh. Good luck for the future. And I hope you always have a nice day. Thank you

Amazing rental experience! The Toyota Corolla was super clean, reliable, and very fuel efficient — perfect for getting around the island. The car drove smoothly and had cold AC, which was great in the Hawaii heat. The host was friendly, responsive, and made pickup/drop-off very easy. Would definitely rent again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and comfortable car!”

Toyota Highlander 2015

We come to Oahu quite a bit, and this rental worked out perfectly for our family. We were moving our daughter out of her dorm for the summer, so having a comfortable SUV with plenty of storage space in the back made a huge difference. It handled luggage, boxes, and beach gear easily without everyone feeling cramped. The vehicle itself was clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and very easy to drive around the island. Whether we were running errands in town or spending the day exploring different parts of Oahu, it was reliable and enjoyable the entire trip. Compared to the major rental companies where even tiny cars can cost a fortune in Hawaii, this was a much better value. We’ve also used Hui before, but if you’re out exploring for more than a couple hours, the cost adds up fast. Having this vehicle available the whole trip gave us way more flexibility and convenience without the stress. Would absolutely rent again next time we’re on the island. Highly recommend!
