The car provided was as described and was half the price of other nig rental companies. The process was very smooth for both getting and returning the car.

Fantastic rental experience! This Honda Odyssey was exactly what we needed for our trip. It comfortably accommodated all five of us with plenty of room for passengers and luggage. The unlimited miles were a huge bonus and gave us the flexibility to explore without worrying about mileage restrictions. The van was clean, reliable, and drove great throughout our entire trip. On top of that, the price was very reasonable and offered excellent value. We would absolutely rent this vehicle again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious and dependable ride!

Had an excellent experience with this Turo rental in Maui. The price was very fair, the car was clean and reliable, and everything worked exactly as expected. Communication was great from start to finish and the host made the whole process easy and stress free. Definitely would rent from him again next time we’re in Hawaii.

Highly recommended car rental services! Very smooth and easy transaction. Divyang, the host/owner gave us a very reasonable price especially when we requested for an additional day of booking. Very easy to communicate also and is very accommodating. The vehicle provided to us is in pristine condition and never had any issues the entire time we are using the vehicle. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Mahalo Jacob for the great hospitality!!! I would recommend using any of Jacob’s vehicles! The 2026 Toyota Sienna was perfect for our trip. 4 adults and a child fit comfortably. Our reservation included a child booster and a cooler which we utilized for our long drives across the island. We appreciate you Braddah Jacob!

Kia Sedona 2019

Car was as pictured. Drove fine. It was almost due for a tune up and going up Makakilo drive which is very steep was a little challenging, but she made it. The Airbnb we stayed at had a pretty steep garage turn in and due to a thunderstorm it was challenging and a little scary since it almost didn’t make it up but overall nothing crazy. Only real issue I had was that it was in the international garage and we flew into terminal 2 with 2 little ones and 2 car seats which had I known I honestly would’ve found a different car. It was an extra almost 30 minute walk trying to find the car. I asked if I could please be billed for the difference if they let me park in terminal 2 and did not receive a call back until after my trip time was over. I was really disappointed. I always try to support locals being from O’ahu myself, and the lack of communication was very upsetting. I was super flexible when they changed the vehicle from a 2025 carnival to a 2019 Sedona, even though it’s wild to me that they would be the same price. Overall the space is what you’re choosing with the van and it does have Apple car play which is nice.

It was my first time using Turo. I’m very happy to say I had the best experience. The vehicle is reliable, clean and exactly what I needed for my trip. Besides the vehicle, what made the experience better was the service from the host. I had to make some last second changes and the host was more than accommodating. When you are in vacation the last thing you need is stress and the host makes sure of that. So much thanks!

Volkswagen ID. Buzz 2025

The car was amazing, tons of space, many great features and insane maneuverability - I literally want to buy one now! But that was just one aspect, Maria added thoughtful additions to our trip and was very helpful, courteous, and incredibly generous throughout. Never had a better experience through any rental app. If you’re in Oahu, the ONLY person to rent from is Maria, bar none.

Perfect experience for our Hawaii trip — will definitely rent from them again!
