Fantastic car for cruising around the island definitely a highlight of our trip! We loved taking the top off and soaking in the incredible scenery. The entire rental process was seamless, with the host delivering the car to our hotel freshly detailed and ready to go. If you’re visiting Kaua’i, I highly recommend renting this car to elevate your experience. 10/10!

Barry is a great guy and the car was perfect. I’ve owned 14 corvettes since 1974 and decided to try the new C8 and Barry’s car really filled the bill as it is the highly optioned 3LT model and a convertible to boot. His price was very reasonable compared to the other cars on the island that offered less and cost more. I highly recommend both Barry and his beautiful Corvette!

I highly recommend this car for your Oahu Trip. Nothing beats driving a Corvette along the coastal highways and views with the top off. We had a memorable vacation and this vehicle was one of the best parts.

First time I am using Turo. I can say it is a great option to rent a car for a very good price. The pick up and drop off the car was very easy and simple. Excellent instructions from the host to show you how things will happen. The car is in very good condition and a big pleasure to enjoy a ride in Oahu island Hawaii. Thank you very much. For sure I will choose the same host and app for renting a car!!!

I rented the C8 Stingray for my trip in Hawaii. Pricey for a rental car for your trip, but it was so worth it driving without the top in a beautiful sports car around the island. Especially the scenic routes. The car was clean and super easy to pick up. All you gotta do is show up and follow the instructions from Matthew. Matthew was attentive and informative, what more can you ask from a host!
