The car was nice and presentable and worked well. The host was flexible and responsive.
Jeffrey helped us out very last minute when another TURO driver cancelled on us. He was very helpful, super friendly and very easy to communicate with. His car was lovely - clean, easy to operate and nice to drive. He recharged it for us for a small fee - which was extremely helpful and much appreciated. We will use Jeffrey again and highly recommend him to others. Thank you Jeffrey!
What a great little car this BYD is! I had never driven an electric car before so I was a bit nervous, but it was super easy, especially with the help of Jeffrey. He sent the manual so I could read it in advance, then he showed me everything when we did the handover. Not that there was anything much to show. It's a cool little car, very responsive, in perfect condition and quite sexy looking! :) Jeffrey is lovely and provided great communication. He even came and picked me up as I was staying very close by. The only drawback for me was that I drove to a friend's place in country NSW and there were no charging stations nearby. But we kept it plugged in at her house with the included charger, and it was ready to go for my drive back up to Brisbane. So for a long drive, we're maybe not set up enough in Australia for purely electric vehicles yet, even though it still worked out well for me. All in all it was an excellent experience and I highly recommend Jeffrey and the car. I would rent again. :)
Epic little get-around-town car. Smooth to drive, easy to park, and surprisingly roomy for its size. Daniel was super helpful and made everything happen on short notice without any stress. Great experience overall.
The car was clean on the inside, prompt responses from Jeffery. Really enjoyed the week I had with the BYD dolphin would definitely highly recommend anyone that wants to experience an electric car go for this one. I treat the cars I drive with love. So once I got it home, total wash down and ceramic coat so it’s looking beautiful even it’s not my car. Before I got the BYD, was sent an entire BYD manual of the car to get to know - bonus. Thanks again Jeffery.
Car quality was so good that I wanted to buy it. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming and helpful. Definitely worth it!
I must say it was an excellent experience. The car itself was fantastic—smooth, efficient, and a pleasure to drive. It met all my expectations and more. What truly made the rental special was Jeffrey. He was incredibly kind and very nice, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. His professionalism and friendly demeanor added to the positive experience. I highly recommend renting the BYD Dolphin, especially with Jeffrey's outstanding service. I would definitely book again without hesitation!
Will definitely rent this car from Jeffrey again, he was great to deal with!

Jeffery’s communication was 10/10. Any questions I had before or during the rental were answered quickly and clearly. The car is immaculate and easy to drive. Would I rent again from Jeffrey? Without any hesitation. Thanks for being a great host!
I had an amazing experience renting from Jeffrey. The communication process was easy and clear, the car was in excellent condition, and it was spotless when I picked it up. Jeffrey was incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed for a smooth trip. Great service and a reliable car—I’ll definitely rent again next time
We had a great experience with Chun. He delivered the car right on time as discussed and clearly explained everything about the vehicle. Shortly after booking, he emailed us the car manual, which was very helpful. Communication was excellent throughout our trip. When I needed to charge the car, Chun supported me over the phone and guided me without any issues. He is a friendly and helpful person, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. The car itself was clean, well maintained, and a very nice electric vehicle with a smooth and comfortable drive. 👌
