Ballina Byron Gateway Airport serves as your gateway to one of Australia's most enchanting coastal regions, where pristine beaches meet lush hinterland rainforests. This area perfectly blends Byron Bay's bohemian charm with Ballina's laid-back coastal lifestyle, offering everything from world-class surfing spots to charming country markets. A rental SUV provides the ideal combination of comfort and versatility for exploring this diverse landscape, giving you the elevated driving position to appreciate scenic coastal drives while offering ample space for beach gear, shopping finds, and travel companions as you navigate between coastal towns and inland attractions.
We come to Oahu quite a bit, and this rental worked out perfectly for our family. We were moving our daughter out of her dorm for the summer, so having a comfortable SUV with plenty of storage space in the back made a huge difference. It handled luggage, boxes, and beach gear easily without everyone feeling cramped. The vehicle itself was clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and very easy to drive around the island. Whether we were running errands in town or spending the day exploring different parts of Oahu, it was reliable and enjoyable the entire trip. Compared to the major rental companies where even tiny cars can cost a fortune in Hawaii, this was a much better value. We’ve also used Hui before, but if you’re out exploring for more than a couple hours, the cost adds up fast. Having this vehicle available the whole trip gave us way more flexibility and convenience without the stress. Would absolutely rent again next time we’re on the island. Highly recommend!
Dave was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making the whole rental process smooth and stress free. We rented the RAV4, and it was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, reliable, and perfect for our trip. The car was exactly as described and very well maintained. Dave also provided clear instructions during the handover, which made everything easy and straightforward. A hassle free experience all around. I would happily rent from him again and highly recommend him to others.
We rented a Volkswagen Tiguan We had an absolutely great experience renting from Ravi. He is incredibly humble, exceptionally great to deal with. Communication was effortless; he was always very quick and fast with his replies whenever we had a question. The car itself was outstanding. It was just like brand new. It drove super smoothly and was very comfortable for the long trip. The entire rental process was easy and straightforward. I would highly recommend booking this vehicle It was super clean when we got it, in top-notch condition, and everything worked perfectly. It also drove really well and gave excellent fuel economy, which was a huge bonus. Overall, the entire process was a really good and incredibly converient experience fromstart to finish. I high recommend booking with Ravi!

Excellent experience! The Nissan Rogue 2024 was clean, comfortable, and in perfect condition. The car drove smoothly, had great acceleration, and was very reliable throughout my trip. It smelled fresh and was well maintained. The entire rental process was easy and stress-free. Everything went perfectly from pickup to drop-off. I would definitely rent from this host again and highly recommend both the vehicle and the host to other travelers. Thank you for a great experience!

I will give a 5 star because the host was nice how ever the address that’s posted on the app for pick up and drop off are not where you will be picking up and dropping off. No clear instructions language barrier may have been the issue. I had to pick up the car at the airport parking structure which was a bit difficult specially if you’re not familiar wasn’t hard after I figure it out but price and everything else was fine. Would be nice to know where you are dropping off and picking up car ahead of reservation
Maria was an amazing host! Her communication was awesome from start to finish super responsive, clear, and made the whole rental process smooth and stress free. The Jeep was absolutely perfect for our trip in Maui, especially for the beautiful Road to Hāna. It handled everything great and was the perfect vehicle for my family to comfortably enjoy all the stops and scenery along the way. Clean, reliable, and exactly what we needed for an unforgettable trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend renting from Maria if you’re visiting Maui!

Easy to locate Kevin is an ext host I can’t wait to rent again. The car was super clean brand new. It was awesome to rent such a quality car for a quality price. The best rental service on Toro yet keep up the good work.
Chris was an outstanding host from start to finish. Communication was excellent, pickup and drop-off were simple, and everything was exactly as described. The Mercedes-Benz GLC was spotless, well-maintained, and drove like a dream. It made our trip even more enjoyable with its comfort, style, and reliability. Chris went above and beyond to make the rental process smooth and stress-free. I would absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend both Chris and his GLC to anyone looking for a first-class Turo experience. Thanks again!
Jeep Wrangler was perfect. Lots of extra details like phone mount on dash, phone charger, cooler. It was the perfect vehicle for a family drive on road to Hana. There are lots of jeep rentals on Maui, but John Mark's jeep is the best because of the power top and because it sips gas. Gas isn't cheap on Maui and our round trip to Hana only cost $22 in gas. We also encountered rain on our journey, and with the push of a button we were dry. Most jeep rentals through the rental companies are hard top which kind of defeats the purpose of renting one. Pickup was easy, price was right, and owner was great. I can't imagine there is a better rental on the island.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The host provided outstanding communication throughout the entire rental and was incredibly friendly and professional. Kevin was very flexible with my flight schedule, which made pickup and drop-off stress-free. Kevin was also very knowledgeable about the rental process and took the time to explain everything clearly. The vehicle was exactly as described, and the whole experience was seamless. I would absolutely rent from this host again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free experience.

William was a great host. The car was in a great shape and William was very responsive. The rental process and dropoff was super easy. I would rent from him again in the future.

The best car you can rent for the price in Honolulu. New, clean and has FSD! Host gave detailed instructions as well.
Allow me to set the scene, I had a free rental through a popular rental car chain but decided to take the road less traveled and grab a vehicle on Turo for this trip. Besides coming to Hawaii, this was the best decision I’ve made. Burak was very kind and helpful through this experience and the ride was amazing! It was a decision of a bigger vehicle or convertible, but a convertible with three other adults just seemed cramped. Well this 2026 Jeep Wrangler gave us space and an automatic retracting roof. Push a button and it does the work. The speakers switched to overhead automatically so we could still vibe. Going through the canyon with that open to hit north shore was a perfect moment. I even extended by a day and Burak quickly approved. I would definitely rent another vehicle through him for future trips.

This rental vehicle is a 20 out of 10 it made our trip spectacular. Very gas efficient and its compact SUV size made parking a breeze. We will definitely rent again if we come back. Ted was an amazing host.

Excellent car, easy pickup and drop off. Awesome price. Best turo car on the market

Great trip. Great communication. I would def book with them again. The original car I had booked came in with some damage and they quickly gave me a replacement vehicle at the same price. Quality experience!

Excellent experience! The Bentley Bentayga was immaculate — extremely comfortable, luxurious, and perfectly maintained. The rental process was smooth and professional from start to finish. Highly recommended. 5 stars!
