The most convenient and easy pickup/drop off ever! So accommodating to our plans, very responsive and helpful, best car rental experience ever. Will absolutely be a returning customer for every trip we make to NY!
I had a great experience renting this Nissan Sentra through Turo! The car was clean, comfortable, and drove smoothly throughout my trip. It was reliable, fuel-efficient, and perfect for getting around. The entire rental process was easy and convenient, which made my experience even better. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to others and would gladly rent it again!
Everything about this TURO rental was solid…the car, price, and service! Great people to rent a car from…thank you!
Drop-off coordination and general communication by the host was top notch. The car performed perfectly, save for a tired windshield wiper. This was our first trip using Turo and it gave us great confidence to use it for future trips. Definitely a better experience than using corporate rent-a-car companies.
Amazing car rental! If you’re thinking about it make sure to book w/ Damien. The communication was spot on and the car was super smooth with the added CarPlay which is a must have for a road trip. I would book again great service :)
Great experience renting Antonio’s Hyundai Elantra! The car was clean, comfortable, and drove extremely smoothly. Pickup and return were very easy, and the lockbox instructions were clear and straightforward. Antonio and Nelson were both very helpful, responsive, and made the entire rental process simple from start to finish. I had a great experience with the car and would definitely rent from Antonio again in the future. Highly recommend! 🙏🏼
10 out of 10. Paul was super understanding of my delayed flight and worked with me after another Turo host canceled my rental despite me notifying them. The car rode smoothly and was clean. Paul was extremely communicative and helped me make the best of my short trip to town. Will most definitely rent from him again.
Outstanding service as always ! Excellent communication, I wouldn’t go with any other company for car rental.
I’ve rented almost all of Alex’s cars, and every experience has been top-notch! Alex is truly the best of the best—always providing excellent service, fast responses, and a smooth rental process. This time, I had the pleasure of driving the 2021 Hyundai Sonata, and it was an absolute dream! I also used the pickup service, which was super convenient and made my trip even better. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly host, Alex is the one. Thank you again, Alex! Looking forward to my next rental. Sincerely TDD
I’m very honored to have been Kashyap’s first renter. He deep cleaned his car which was the very first time I’ve gotten this type of service on a Turo rental, after various prior experiences. Provided bottled water and various chargers which were useful during my trip. Don’t hesitate to rent with Kashyap!! Would definitely rent again.
I had a great experience with this rental! The car was clean, comfortable, and drove really well throughout my trip. Everything was exactly as described, and the entire process was easy and stress-free. The host was friendly, professional, and very accessible. Always responded quickly if I had any questions about the vehicle. Everything was simple from start to finish. I really enjoyed having the car and would definitely rent from this host again!
Amazing car and very well maintained drove like it was brand new I would definitely recommend Donna as a host and would rent again with no hesitation one of the best maintained cars I have rented on Turo
Great communication with the host. Great car overall, it did show some age, but really excellent car for the price.
Great car, it reservation went smoothly! Definitely will be renting again. Thanks for everything.
We took a trip to NJ to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and this car rental was by far the best one we have gotten. You will not be disappointed. It was clean. And the owner was just amazing.
Excellent car condition, great price, great communication and easy to work with. Thank you very much!
