Really great rental experience overall. Pick-up and drop-off were both very smooth and easy, with no unnecessary hassle.

Would definitely rent from them again.
Amazing experience! The car was great and everything was super easy. Definitely one of the best car rental experiences. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Easy pick up and drop off. John is a great host. Super friendly, easy communication and he takes great care of his cars. Ive booked with a few hosts on turo and John is by far the best on the app. Highly recommend to book. This vehicle in particular was smooth, great sounds, clean and was perfect for my trip to Sydney. Will be booking with John for my future trips. Thanks again!
Fantastic service from start to finish! This 7-Seater SUV was spacious and drove beautifully. The car was clean, reliable, and fuel efficient. Andy was incredibly helpful throughout he booking. Great value for the price 👍
Excellent car. And one of the best I’ve rented. The hosts were great. Provided clear instructions on pick up and return, fuss free and efficient. Definitely recommended.
Great car overall. The car was clean, well-maintained, and drove well. The only issue was that it rained during my trip, and unfortunately the windshield wipers weren’t performing very well, which made visibility a bit difficult and obstructed my view at times. Other than that, everything was good, and I had a positive experience overall.
I hired an LDV D90 for a trip to the Blue Mountains with my high school friends, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The car was amazing—I genuinely didn’t expect it to be so huge! It was extremely spacious and comfortable, making the drive there and back effortless for a group. The price was incredibly affordable for a vehicle of this size and capability, which made it even better value. The rental experience itself was smooth and hassle-free, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and easy to deal with. Even though the return was after hours, the instructions were very clear and straightforward, which made the whole process stress-free. I would absolutely rent from here again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great vehicle and an easy rental experience.
Peter made my rental and experience wonderful. He helped me through every step of the way deliver the car right to my door and was always offering any type of help I may need. Thanks again, Peter.
Millie is a very amazing, responsive, and helpful host. One of the best in Turo. The car also really amazing.

Had a great experience renting Shane’s car. Shane was really nice, kind and quick to respond. He explained all the instructions clearly and made the pick up and drop off really easy. The car was very clean and tidy, and had some great features. I especially liked the mobile phone stand for navigation, which I haven’t had with previous rentals. Overall, a really smooth and easy experience. Would definitely rent from Shane again.

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?
You must have a valid, full, active, permanent licence to book a car in Australia. A valid licence is one that’s not expired, suspended, or revoked.
If you have a licence issued by a country outside of Australia, Turo requires you to have a valid permanent licence issued by your home country. If your home country's licence is not written in English, you must also have an International Driving Permit or an official English translation of your home country's licence.
Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle on Turo in Australia is 21 years of age, with all drivers under 25 years old being subjected to an extra cost of $15/day (a.k.a the Young Driver Surcharge).

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?
You don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. When renting 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.*

Can other people drive the car that I rented?
Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked.
