Renault TWINGO II 2014

Eric and Valerie have made it impossible for me to ever rent from one of the big international car rental companies again. This was my third rental with them and they are everything the big guys are not. They are friendly, efficient, customer focused are most importantly really easy to deal with. Their cars are great as well.

The host, the car, and the whole Turo experience was 10/10. The price was fantastic and the whole experience was seamless. We had weird hours we wanted to leave and return the car that would not have worked with a car rental agency, but Angel and Turo made the whole process easy and seamless. I’m a bigger guy so I was worried about how comfortable the car would be and it was perfect. The great ride made our whole vacation possible and comfortable. I really appreciated the vehicles safety features too!

Easy pick up and drop off. Car was very clean inside. A/C blows super cold even when it's 100 degrees out!! The windows are not tinted so I suggest bringing your own sun shades if you are going to be parked anywhere but the shade in the summer. Luckily I had those and that made my trip much better. The flip down visors do have the extenders to help block sun while driving thankfully. Charging prices are comparable to current gas prices - about $45 to get 250 miles of charge over a few sessions which is the same as I get from a full tank in my Toyota Yaris. This car DOES have the CHAdeMO fast charge input so it's 30-50 seconds per mile to charge depending on the fast charger & whether you're running the car (AC/radio) or it's fully off. Radio speakers were a little blown out so I had to adjust some settings to listen to my audiobooks but it was easy to do. I had no problem driving from the pickup spot to Kyle, then to the airport, and back into town without needing a charge which was about 90 miles, mostly highway. Just like any Turo rental make sure to take your own photos at pickup and drop off since scratches and such aren't usually documented after every drive by the car owners which seems standard in my experience. Overall a great deal, best price in town especially for a last minute rental. I requested the rental at 9pm on a Tuesday after my personal car died and was able to get this the next morning with no issue. Will definitely keep them in mind when I need a rental near by. Thanks again!

I had an excellent experience renting from this host and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and smooth car rental experience. The vehicle was extremely clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Communication was outstanding from start to finish. The host was friendly, professional, responsive, and made both pickup and drop-off incredibly easy and convenient. The car drove perfectly and made my trip stress-free and enjoyable. It’s clear the host takes great care of both their vehicles and their customers. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and overall professionalism throughout the rental process. I would absolutely rent from this host again in the future and highly recommend them to others looking for a top-quality rental experience.

Rented this last minute because my Mom didn't tell me until the day before my trip that she had no car. Was pretty easy for the most part. Finding the shuttle at the airport for the car rental area, was a little difficult for me. But you can always ask someone at the airport. Then I followed Turo given directions to the car. It's outside of the rental area but still easy to find because the lot is literally labeled "Turo." As for the car, I DID NOT MIND these "problems" with the car at all, but you should be informed that the car: Cons - Smelled INTENSELY LIKE WEED. I tried to spray it with multiple Febreze, etc. It helped but it still stinks a bit. - The car door lock was extremely finicky, you must PRESS AND HOLD the button it seems. - Crumbs in the backseat (no big deal) - Not sure but seems like occasional light scraping sound sometimes when driving around on normal road. - Not a problem per se, but just know the car has quite a bit of scratches compared to other Turo rentals. Just be sure to document as much as you can. Pros - Good Value for the price - ICE COLD A/C. (Although I visited in winter, so idk how it holds up to the Vegas heat, but again better than my childhood cars with zero A/C) - Pretty quiet car overall (I mention the scrape for the owner to consider getting it checked out, but nothing to make you feel embarrassed while driving.) Overall, I grew up poor, and this car was much better than most of the ones of my childhood, so I didn't mind at all. Just tried my best to document them that's all. But anyone renting who these things might bother should be aware of it. Anyways, thank you so much Nick!!! I would definitely rent again!

Andre was great, the car was somewhat still dirty, dust, dirt, what appeared to be cigarette ashes, animal hair, sticky spills around the cup holders in the center console and the door panels. Crumbs and dust/dirt left in the door handles and cubby's. In the center console cup holders and cubbys. On the top of the dashboard, around the steering column and gauges. Sticky dusty windows and stereo buttons. Rear view mirror had sticky smudges on it. All the windows inside were dusty and dirty with smudges and idk what really.. the car had a bad smell of animals like dogs, and faint cigarette smell.. however as I got further into my trip I got used to it and wasn't bothered by it anymore. A lot of these issues honestly didn't bother me very much. I was more worried of being blamed for them when I returned the car. Unfortunately I was put behind schedule due to a passenger side headlight and passenger side tail light being burned out. However upon informing andre, he was very quick with a solution to take the car to valvoline where they were able to repair the lights before I left for my trip. If I wasn't already running late It wouldn't of bothered me. Andre was also very quick to reimburse me the whole price of the repairs immediately upon me sending him the receipt of the work.. I very much appreciated that! I also appreciate that instead of canceling my trip Andre worked out a way to have the lights fixed with no trouble of my own. He was always quick to respond to all of my very long messages full of questions. This is my first time using turo and I did not know the ins and outs of the rental process. He was able to guide me threw every step all while being polite and keeping his patience with me! Hah. I ended up running behind schedule on my way back as well and was surprised how simple and easy it was to change the return time from noon to after 9 p.m. all without adding any fees to my bill! That was very helpful of andre to allow me to do. I also ended up being a little passed my return time due to vacuuming the car and dusting everything to my best ability. So that andre wouldn't have to deal with someone else's mess and the next person who rents the vehicle will not have to worry about it either. I had no issues with doing that for him after he was so helpful with me! The vehicle was a little different then what im used to. But in no time I settled in with the car and had a very enjoyable trip! I would forsure rent another vehicle from andre in the future due to how well he accommodated me on this trip. Even tho the car had the mess, that was not andre, But left over from previous renters. He even made sure to have a snow brush and ice scraper in the car for me. But unfortunately the previous renters also took that with them. Im sure there will be a new one for the next person who rents the car because thats how much andre cares about his customers !! 5 stars for andre !!! Whoever returned his vehicle like that should be ashamed and think about how it would feel if someone treated your things the same way! Once again THANK YOU andre! I will reach out to you next time I need to rent a car.. I appreciate all your help thru the process! I appreciate your professionalism and quick responses to all my questions and thank you for making sure the vehicle was 100% good to go for me before I left and wouldn't of been able to fix it. 5 of 5 stars for andre !!

My credit card wasn’t working for some odd reason and rental companies wouldn’t let me rent a car so I booked this Turo last minute and it was a reasonable price for five days. I will do it again when I come back to Vancouver in August.

Excellent 1st experience using Turo. The host was very responsive and timely. The vehicle was in great condition and rode very well. The price was a good deal and would definitely use this again as opposed to a major car rental facility. It was a simple process overall and very straightforward.

The host, Tadeh was exceptional. The very best in customer service. I had the best experience with renting from Tadeh. Everything was so easy; Tadeh was super accommodating, very kind, he went way above and beyond what I reasonably expected. Tadeh is a thousand times better than AVIS, HERTZ, Enterprise, Thrifty, Budget, Dollar, and all the major car rental. Tadeh gave me the best deal; the major car rentals do not come close; I saved a lot of money. The car was great, very good on the gas mileage; and very clean. Tadeh made sure pick-up location was very convenient for me, Tadeh drove the car to where I was; it’s the best. Tadeh also picked up the car when I was done and again made sure it was convenient for me. I am very grateful for this. Once I return from my deployment, absolutely renting from Tadeh again; will be telling all my friends and colleagues. This is just amazing customer service. I am very appreciative for everything. THANK YOU

Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2026

“10/10 experience. I rented the car for a week and the total came out to around $400, which was an amazing price for a brand new 2026 vehicle. The entire process was incredibly easy from start to finish. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient, and I loved that I didn’t have to physically meet or talk to anyone. The key was waiting in a lockbox by the window, which honestly made the experience even better for me. The car itself was spotless, smelled clean, and drove perfectly. It was also amazing on gas — I drove all the way through Saturday and the tank was only halfway. The host responded quickly to messages and was super helpful the entire time. Overall, this was one of the easiest and best rental experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely rent from them again and honestly would choose this over Enterprise or Hertz any day

Fandi and our cohost provided excellent communication throughout the process. Our car, 2020 Honda Insight was clean and in good working order. Performance was good around the hills and mountains in the greater San Francisco area. The drop off at the San Jose airport was excellent. Why go to the “normal” car rental companies!

Top tips for renting a car in Aberdeen


If you're looking to hire a car near Aberdeen Airport, here are a few things you should know to make your journey as easy as possible.


How does airport pickup work near Aberdeen Airport?


With Turo, car rental pickup near Aberdeen Airport marks an easy start to your trip. Your vehicle will be ready at the agreed-upon location — whether that’s an in-person handover or through a drop-box — wherever works best for you.


How does drop-off work near Aberdeen Airport?


When it comes to your car rental return on Turo, please park vehicles in the agreed-upon spot with your host. You can leave keys in a drop box located nearby or hand them directly to your host — no waiting around or complicated steps.


How far is Aberdeen Airport from the city centre?


If you're considering car hire, Aberdeen Airport is located 7 miles, typically a 15 to 20 minute drive, from Aberdeen city centre.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Aberdeen?


Driving in Aberdeen follows the standard UK rules, so it’s all very familiar if you’ve driven here before. You’ll be on the left-hand side, with speed limits clearly posted: 20–30 mph in built-up areas, 60 mph on most single carriageways, and 70 mph on dual carriageways and motorways.


Aberdeen’s winter weather can be unpredictable, so a little extra caution goes a long way. Ice, fog, and slick roads are common in the early morning or on rural stretches. Slowing down, leaving more space between you and the car ahead, and popping on dipped headlights when visibility drops will keep you safe


What is parking like in Aberdeen?


Finding a parking spot in Aberdeen is easy. You’ll find plenty of convenient options right in the city centre. Popular car parks like Gallowgate, Frederick Street, Denburn, and Virginia Street are all run by Aberdeen City Council and sit within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and major attractions.


For longer stays, many visitors choose Union Square Car Park, which is operated by the centre itself and offers a substantial number of parking spaces.


In addition, If you don’t mind parking a little further out, the council also provides several free car parks in suburbs like Bucksburn, Cults, and Woodside, which can be very useful.


Are there toll roads in Aberdeen?


No, there are no toll roads in Aberdeen or anywhere else in Scotland.


Where can I find petrol stations and EV chargers in Aberdeen?


You will find petrol stations and EV chargers scattered conveniently across Aberdeen. Most of the public charging points operate 24/7 in the city centre — this includes Polmuir Road, Gallowgate car park, West North Street car park, and Craibstone Park and Ride.


At the same time, petrol stations in Aberdeen are located along major routes like the A92, A96, and Anderson Drive, as well as near retail parks and supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, and Sainsbury’s.


Do I need to rent a car in Aberdeen?


Aberdeen’s city centre may be easy to explore on foot, but a car opens up far more of what makes the region special. Public transport is available, yet relying on buses and trains can limit how freely you explore Aberdeen and the stunning landscapes beyond. With so many remarkable places nearby — Aberdeen's sweeping coastlines, Dunnottar Castle, or even nearby cities like Dundee, Inverness, or Edinburgh — it’s the best way to make the most of your visit. And if you’re up for an adventure, the mountainous drive towards Cairngorms National Park is worth the journey alone.


What rental car types can I find on Turo in Aberdeen?


If you’re looking to book car hire in Aberdeen, the wide selection of vehicles on Turo — from compact city cars to luxury minivans — means your perfect match is already waiting for you. Here are some options, but not limited to:


- Budget-friendly: The Vauxhall Corsa or Viva and the Ford Focus give you an easy, affordable drive without compromising comfort.


- Sports cars: Deliver that head-turning performance and instant fun the moment you pull away in a Porsche 911 or Audi TT.


- SUVs: If you want extra space, strong handling, and a commanding view of the road, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, Volkswagen Tiguan, or Jeep Wrangler are fantastic choices.


- Minivans: Keep family trips smooth and spacious with room for everyone and everything with the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, Seat Alhambra, or Citroen Berlingo.


- Luxury: The Audi A6 or electric Tesla Model X brings elevated comfort and modern tech to every mile.


How much does it cost to rent a car in Aberdeen?


The cost of car rental in Aberdeen can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Aberdeen, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.
