We had a fantastic experience renting a car from Alex. Alex was friendly, very helpful and very easy to communicate with throughout the whole rental process. Everything went smooth and hassle free from pickup to drop off. We appreciate Alex’s excellent service and would definitely use him again. Highly recommend 👍
I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Turo! Alex was an absolutely wonderful host — extremely helpful, generous, communicative and so easy to get in touch with throughout the entire rental. Picking up the car couldn’t have been easier. Alex provided really clear and informative instructions along with photos, which I appreciated so much, especially as I was picking up family from the airport and already had plenty to organise! He made the whole process feel incredibly easy, safe and stress-free. The car itself was very tidy, comfortable and absolutely perfect for my family. Having Apple CarPlay was also a huge help as we were travelling around quite a bit and relying on GPS. This rental played such an important part in the time I got to spend with my family visiting from overseas, and I’m genuinely so happy that my first Turo experience was with Alex. His kindness and helpfulness took away so much of the stress and allowed me to simply enjoy having my family here and making memories with them. I honestly couldn’t thank Alex enough and would happily rent from him again. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
We had such a great experience with Matt’s car! It was perfect for our family of 6, with plenty of room for everyone and our luggage. The car was really clean, comfortable, reliable and great on fuel. We had absolutely no problems during our trip and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Would definitely recommend Matt and his car to other families and would happily book again! Thank you, Matt!
Louise was amazing. She brought the car directly to us and gave us a rundown on the car, as it was our first time driving a Tesla. She was great to deal with during the whole rental period. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Everything was great. The Model Y was spotless all around. Great.
The car was very clean inside and out and a pleasure to drive. Quite spacious for a family of 5 with luggage. The host was wonderful to deal with, very friendly and responsive. Would highly recommend.
This car is such a great car for a family. Spacious, clean and handy. Pick up location was so convenient and easy for hand over. The host Matt was amazing. Communication was great, questions i needed answered or just help in general I had a reply with in the same day. Matt catered to all that was needed for my family trip. Handy over/Drop off was super easy and straight forward. Id definitely recommend hiring from here again.
Comfortable and affordable, I would recommend for anyone looking to rent a car for their trip in Brisbane.
Hello, sorry for the delayed message! I just wanted to thank you for helping make our little vacation so enjoyable. The Range Rover was absolutely amazing, and we had a great time. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful car for our trip. If we visit Brisbane or the Gold Coast again, we would definitely love to book with you again. Thanks once again for making our trip extra special! 😊
The car was perfect for this 7 day trip & Priyanka was always quick with communication & lovely to deal with. A couple of hours before I was due to return the car, another vehicle caused minor damage which was quite stressful for me. Priyanka was helpful & cooperative with next steps in the process to resolve the issue. I totally recommend this host.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic experience renting Winand’s MG HS! The car was super clean, comfortable and very well maintained. It honestly looked and felt almost brand new. Winand was excellent to deal with and always very quick to respond, making the whole rental experience smooth and easy. I really enjoyed driving the car throughout my trip and will definitely rent from Winand again whenever I return to Brisbane. Highly recommended!
The pick up and drop off of this Outlander was really seamless. Communication was quick and clear and was able to fit into our plans so well. The car was clean and reliable - made our trip so much easier! Thanks!
Brilliant service great to deal with. Pick up and drop off a breeze. Thanks Lee
Alex was very easy to deal with he was prompt with his replies, made pick up and delivery a very smooth process, and was also very accommodating- little welcome snacks and cold water after our flights, made sure the car seats where installed correctly and in the position I preferred. The Mitsubishi was clean and in great condition too. Thanks Alex, we would definitely use your car again
Amazing car and service from Andree and team even better. Car was very clean, baby seats in very excellent condition. Car was delivered and fetched from airport. Honestly the best car hire service I have had. Thank you Andrew and team
Great experience for our first trip with Turo! A seamless process and host was very accommodating. Thank you!
The car was fantastic and in immaculate condition. It offered everything we needed to for our trip
As usual everything was perfect from pick up to drop off! The car was amazing and she went above and beyond to provide the right car seat for the age of my son. It’s the little details like that as a mum makes my trip smooth and stress free!! Thank you and we will see you on our next visit!!
Great owners, clear and friendly communication. Close to airport. Clean vehicle, easy collection/drop off. Perfect for our family holiday. Thanks so much!
