We had great trip with this excellent Model Y, esp. FSD that makes our trip in Australia so easy and smooth. I wanna thank Adam and Peter they make the car rental process so efficient and they’re so friendly as well. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jack and Vie were excellent hosts and great communicators. The Nissan worked perfectly for our family of 6 (space for luggage and car seats). They made pickup super easy and responded quickly with questions during the trip. Drop off was a little stressful since it wasn’t at BNE, but they worked with us to make it the best experience possible. Would definitely rent again when in the Brisbane area.
Thank you for the rental. Great clean car with no issues. Made our short family trip to Brisbane a memorable one. Thanks Paul will use again whenever we are in Brisbane
Car was perfect for our family trip. Joel made pick up and drop off a breeze. Would highly recommend! 🤩
Fabian was an outstanding host from start to finish. Communication was prompt, clear, and friendly, and the entire pickup and return process was seamless. The vehicle was exactly as described - clean, well maintained, and a pleasure to drive throughout our trip. Fabian was accommodating, responsive whenever we had questions, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable Turo host. Thanks again, Fabian!
Hiring the Toyota RAV4 from Matt was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Matt was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with, making the whole process smooth and hassle-free. The RAV4 was well-maintained and drove beautifully. It was comfortable, fuel-efficient, and had plenty of space, making it perfect for our trip. I couldn’t have asked for a better rental experience and would happily hire from Matt again. Highly recommend both Matt and his RAV4 to anyone looking for a reliable, clean, and comfortable vehicle. Five stars all the way! Also thanks for letting me pick your brain about cars 😅💯

We had a great time! It was a first time using Turoo and I was a bit sceptical. The host was great and replied promptly to all my questions. Very hassle free and car was great. I would strongly recommend if you're coming to Brisbane. P.s. it was half the price of the rental companies with full insurance 😉
We had an amazing experience renting this car. The car was as described and reliable throughout the entire booking. The price was very fair as well.

From Brisbane Airport, take the Airport Drive to connect with the Gateway Motorway (M1), then merge onto the Pacific Motorway towards Brisbane city centre.
