Carma definitely restored my faith in Tullamarine car rental companies. Hannah was super friendly. Pick and drop off was a breeze. Car got 700kms on one tank. No complaints at all. Thanks team!

If I were to rent a car again, it would be from them they were both very friendly, simply top-notch.

This was our first time using the Turo app, and it was by far easier than dealing with traditional rental companies! Pick-up and drop-off were quick and hassle-free, no waiting in long lines or filling out endless forms. Karan was super responsive and made the whole process smooth. We even changed the drop-off location without any issues on their end. We picked up the car at Brisbane Airport and drove to the Gold Coast, where we spent two weeks exploring the area. The MG was impressively fuel-efficient. We made the round trip on just one tank of petrol! Overall, Turo gave us the best car rental experience we've ever had. We won’t be going back to the old way of renting cars.

The most convenient experience I have had with Turo. The car was clean, comfortable and well maintained with no problems whatsoever. The owner Andy is very friendly & made the entire car rental process very convenient with dropping it to me & collecting from me. Would recommend anyone visiting Adelaide to rent one from this owner and I will rent again in near future! Thank you very much, we had a great time visiting extended family on the Fleurieu coast & having a car with space allowed for room in the boot for towels, picnic rug and a cooler for our beach visit to Second Valley. Great experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Car Rental Experience! I recently rented a car and had a great experience. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable to drive. The pickup and drop-off process was smooth and hassle-free, and communication was clear throughout. Everything went exactly as planned, and the price was very reasonable for the quality of service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable car rental — I’ll definitely rent again next time!

Everything about the car was perfect and the pickup process was also super easy. However, the pickup location was a little unclear maybe specifying that it’s at the rent a car place in the parking lot? Otherwise great experience!

The car was perfect for our weekend up in Hunter Valley. The owners were great communicators and were willing to accommodate changing drop-off time. Would rent from them again.

MG HS +EV 2025

I’ve hired the Swift Drive team’s MG HS EV numerous times, and it has been an excellent experience every single time. The car is always presented in immaculate condition, clean and very well maintained. The MG HS EV is a fantastic vehicle to drive: comfortable, spacious, fuel efficient, and packed with great features. It’s perfect for both city driving and longer trips, and it has been consistently reliable on every booking. What keeps me coming back is the exceptional service from the Swift Drive team. They are professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to deal with. Pickup and drop off are always smooth, and they go above and beyond to make the entire experience hassle free. The way the Swift Drive team conduct themselves is exactly why I continue to book with them time and time again. I highly recommend both the MG HS EV and Swift Drive to anyone looking for a topquality Turo experience.

MG HS 2023

This was a last minute booking as the car we wanted to rent was in a crash and the trip was cancelled because of that. The car was comfortable. The CarPlay was abit wonky and got disconnected multiple times during the trip, even after changing multiple usb, it does not work. Ended up not using the CarPlay and used our mobile phone directly. Shyam was friendly, easy to communicate with. Pick up was very confusing as the car was left at the value carpark and parking was not paid for so had quite a bit of an issue trying to get out of the parking even when speaking to the customer service at the intercom. It took us like 20mins before we managed to get out of the carpark gantry after going back and forth with customer service. The return process was smooth and hassle-free besides the parking fee reimbursement was missed. Overall, probably would rent from Shyam again in the future. Overall,

MG ZS 2024 | Newcastle Car Rental – Highly recommend!!!!! The worst thing that could happen on a holiday did happen to us. We had to extend our car hire twice, both times at the very last minute. To top it off, I even managed to lock the keys in the boot one day (100% user error). Using the Turo app was simple, but what really made the difference was Sujay. His client management, hands‑on customer service, and lightning‑fast response time turned a stressful situation into something completely manageable. He genuinely went above and beyond. The car itself was spotless, comfortable, and really nice to drive. The only hiccup was on the first day when I kept forgetting the indicator and wiper paddles were reversed. Let's just say the windscreen got a lot of unnecessary attention that day. Overall, fantastic service, great car, and a team that truly cares. Would absolutely book again. 10 out of 10.

Rented the MG ZS for a recent trip around Newcastle with family, and it was a great experience. The car was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious for our needs — handled 5 people and luggage with no issues. Fuel efficiency was solid, and it drove smoothly both in the city and on highways. The tech features like Apple CarPlay and the reversing camera made the trip even easier. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the host was responsive and flexible with timing. Would definitely recommend this MG model and rent again through Turo. Thanks for a smooth and enjoyable ride!

AJ was a great host. Dropped the car off. Gave me an extension, which was appreciated. It was the easiest car rental service I've ever experienced. I highly recommend AJ as a host 👌 and the MG car was great to drive. Extremely comfortable as well 😌
