I will give a 5 star because the host was nice how ever the address that’s posted on the app for pick up and drop off are not where you will be picking up and dropping off. No clear instructions language barrier may have been the issue. I had to pick up the car at the airport parking structure which was a bit difficult specially if you’re not familiar wasn’t hard after I figure it out but price and everything else was fine. Would be nice to know where you are dropping off and picking up car ahead of reservation

Wow. Just wow. If you’re planning to rent a car while in Oahu, this Ford Mustang convertible is absolutely the way to do it. There’s nothing like dropping the top and cruising along the island coastlines with the Hawaiian sun and ocean views around you. It honestly became one of the highlights of our trip. The car itself was spotless, fun to drive, and perfect for exploring the island. But what really made the experience exceptional was Gabriel. From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. Pick-up and drop-off were seamless, and he went out of his way to make everything easy and stress-free for our family. If you’re considering renting a vehicle in Oahu, do yourself a favor and rent from Gabriel. You won’t regret it!

Allow me to set the scene, I had a free rental through a popular rental car chain but decided to take the road less traveled and grab a vehicle on Turo for this trip. Besides coming to Hawaii, this was the best decision I’ve made. Burak was very kind and helpful through this experience and the ride was amazing! It was a decision of a bigger vehicle or convertible, but a convertible with three other adults just seemed cramped. Well this 2026 Jeep Wrangler gave us space and an automatic retracting roof. Push a button and it does the work. The speakers switched to overhead automatically so we could still vibe. Going through the canyon with that open to hit north shore was a perfect moment. I even extended by a day and Burak quickly approved. I would definitely rent another vehicle through him for future trips.

Maria was an amazing host! Her communication was awesome from start to finish super responsive, clear, and made the whole rental process smooth and stress free. The Jeep was absolutely perfect for our trip in Maui, especially for the beautiful Road to Hāna. It handled everything great and was the perfect vehicle for my family to comfortably enjoy all the stops and scenery along the way. Clean, reliable, and exactly what we needed for an unforgettable trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend renting from Maria if you’re visiting Maui!

Very straightforward rental process. Arrived at the pick up, got in the car, drove it around for 4 days, cleaned it up, dropped it off in the same lot and checked out. Host was easily reachable by phone.

William was a great host. He communicated well, clearly and timely. It was my first time using Turo. He kindly answered all my questions and provided clear instructions. He was flexible and met me when we arrived at the vehicle, which wasn’t my originally selected pick-up time. I have a toddler that had traveled across time zones so the flexibility was appreciated! The vehicle was lovely, clean and taken care of. I would definitely rent from William again.

Absolutely the perfect rental for exploring Oahu! We had an incredible experience renting this 2023 Jeep Wrangler. The two of us used it to drive all around the island of Oahu, and it was hands down the best decision we made for our trip. The vehicle was in flawless condition — no issues whatsoever from start to finish. It handled every road beautifully. The host was fantastic — super friendly, attentive, and made the whole pickup and drop-off process completely smooth and stress-free. You could tell they genuinely care about their guests having a great experience. If you’re visiting Oahu and want to explore the island freely and comfortably, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking again on our next visit. Highly recommend — 10/10!

This BMW 2 Series Convertible is literally the best car to rent if you plan on doing a little driving around the island. Rent it for the experience. It’s a sick looking car and it drives beautifully. Very comfortable for 2 people. Car was in perfect shape and gave me no problems. Very fun car to drive around the mountains. I was considering something a little more fuel efficient like a Prius, but this absolutely makes the trip a blast. You’re not going to spend much on gas regardless. Treat yourself, you’ll thank me later. Host was extremely accommodating. Never left me hanging for a second whenever we had to communicate. Will book again when I’m back.

Frequently asked questions in Glenroy

Why choose a convertible for exploring Glenroy?

Convertibles offer an unmatched open-air driving experience through Melbourne's northern suburbs, allowing you to fully appreciate Victoria's pleasant climate while navigating from Glenroy to nearby areas like Coburg and Pascoe Vale. The retractable roof transforms your journey into an immersive adventure, perfect for discovering the scenic tree-lined streets and parks that characterise this part of north Melbourne. With easy access to both urban attractions and natural spaces around Fairfield and Parkville, a convertible enhances every moment of your Australian exploration.

How do you operate a convertible roof properly?

Most modern convertibles feature electronic roof controls located near the handbrake or centre console, requiring you to hold the button while the roof retracts or closes completely. Always ensure your vehicle is stationary and parked safely before operating the roof mechanism, as movement during operation can damage the system. Check that windows are slightly lowered and remove any loose items from the interior before activation, as wind can scatter belongings during the conversion process in areas like West Melbourne or North Melbourne.

What safety tips should convertible drivers follow?

Always secure loose items and wear sunglasses to protect against UV exposure and wind glare while driving through Melbourne's suburbs from Glenroy to destinations like Kew or Mont Albert North. Keep the roof closed during adverse weather conditions and ensure all passengers wear seatbelts, as convertibles require extra attention to surrounding traffic and weather changes. Store valuables in the boot rather than leaving them visible in the cabin, particularly when parked in busy areas around Port Melbourne or Epping.

Which scenic routes near Glenroy suit convertibles best?

The tree-lined boulevards connecting Glenroy to Clifton Hill offer beautiful canopy drives perfect for open-top motoring, while the route towards Parkville showcases Melbourne's classic Victorian architecture. Explore the winding roads around Fairfield and Kew for elevated views across the city, where convertibles excel at providing panoramic vistas of Australia's cultural capital. The coastal drive towards Port Melbourne delivers fresh sea breezes and harbour views that make convertible driving particularly rewarding.

How should you pack for a convertible road trip?

Pack light and secure all items in hard luggage or the boot to prevent wind displacement while driving between Melbourne locations like Box Hill and Ringwood. Bring layers of clothing, sunscreen, and a hat, as open-air driving creates varying temperature conditions throughout your journey across Victoria. Include a light jacket for evening drives and ensure electronics are protected in sealed bags, particularly when exploring areas around Knoxfield or Mont Albert where weather can change quickly.

What weather factors affect convertible driving?

Melbourne's changeable weather requires monitoring forecasts before lowering the roof, as sudden rain showers can occur throughout Victoria even on sunny days. Strong winds above 25 km/h can create uncomfortable driving conditions and affect vehicle stability, particularly on elevated roads around North Melbourne and West Melbourne. Temperature variations between morning and evening in Australia mean layered clothing is essential, while UV exposure increases significantly in open-top vehicles during peak daylight hours.

What protection plan options does Turo offer?

When booking a car in Australia, you'll choose between the Premier (if available), Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host's vehicle. All trips include up to $20,000,000 (per event) in legal liability protection. Legal liability protection protects against damage to other people's property and death or bodily injury (where the legal liability is not covered or capable of being covered by any statutory or compulsory scheme) as a result of an accident involving the vehicle. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*

When you're booking your first trip, you'll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver's licence and some other information.
