It was easy to communicate with Fady, the car was good. Fady was very understanding and flexible with the changes made with our trip to Darwin.
Fantastic! They picked me up at the desired location and brought me back. The car was in excellent conditions. Communication was flawless. I will rent from them again.
First time Turo user. Vikram was a great host/ owner, he was very flexible with pickup and drop off at multiple locations in Darwin. The car was great, well priced, sound, lots of tire tread, clean and paint was not immaculate so I wasn’t worried about returning to the car in every car park I parked in. Will rent again when back to Darwin. Thanks Vikram
