Toyota Highlander 2015

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!

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!

Jeep Wrangler 4xe 2023

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.

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.

Jeep Wrangler 2026

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.

Things to do and places to see in Parramatta

Parramatta offers a rich blend of Australian colonial history and modern attractions that are easily accessible by car. You can explore Parramatta Park with its historic buildings, visit the bustling Westfield Parramatta shopping centre, or take scenic drives to nearby attractions in western Sydney. Having a rental car gives you the freedom to discover the Parramatta River foreshore, venture into the Blue Mountains foothills, or explore the diverse dining precincts at your own pace.


Old Government House and Parramatta Park

Old Government House represents Australia's oldest surviving public building, nestled within the expansive Parramatta Park. You'll find ample parking available near the visitor centre, making it easy to explore the Georgian architecture and surrounding parklands. The park's tree-lined drives offer pleasant routes for your hired SUV, connecting various heritage sites and picnic areas throughout the grounds.


Westfield Parramatta shopping and entertainment precinct

Westfield Parramatta serves as one of Australia's largest shopping centres, featuring multiple levels of retail, dining, and entertainment options. The centre provides extensive parking facilities across several levels, accommodating your SUV comfortably. You can easily access the complex from major roads, with clear signage directing you to different parking zones based on your shopping needs.


Parramatta River and foreshore parklands

The Parramatta River winds through the city centre, offering scenic walking paths and recreational areas perfect for family outings. Several parking areas along the foreshore provide convenient access to the river walks and cycle paths. Your rental car allows you to explore different sections of the riverfront, from the historic wharf areas to the modern recreational facilities upstream.


How to get to Parramatta

You can reach Parramatta through several transport options: By car via the M4 Western Motorway or Parramatta Road from central Sydney, by train on the Western Line to Parramatta Station, or by flying into Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport and driving west. The city sits conveniently at the junction of major motorways, making it accessible from all directions across the Sydney metropolitan area.


Top tips for renting an SUV in Parramatta

Book your SUV early on Turo to secure the best vehicle for exploring Parramatta and surrounding areas. Look for SUVs with features like keyless entry for convenient shopping trips, all-wheel drive for Blue Mountains excursions, and backup cameras to navigate busy car parks. Consider vehicles with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for easy navigation around western Sydney, and check for family-friendly options like child seats if travelling with children.

Frequently asked questions in Parramatta

Why choose an SUV for exploring Parramatta's surroundings?

SUVs provide excellent visibility and comfort when navigating Parramatta's diverse landscapes, from urban streets to scenic routes through the Blue Mountains. The elevated seating position in a Toyota or Mazda SUV allows better views of landmarks like Old Government House and surrounding parklands. Higher ground clearance makes these vehicles ideal for accessing various attractions around New South Wales, whether you're heading to national parks or coastal areas.

How to handle an SUV on Parramatta's varied terrain?

Parramatta's mix of city streets, suburban roads, and nearby bushland requires confident handling of your SUV's larger dimensions and weight distribution. Practise parking in Parramatta's CBD before venturing to tighter spaces, as Nissan and Kia SUVs have different turning radii than smaller cars. The additional weight provides stability on highways leading to destinations throughout New South Wales, but requires earlier braking and wider turning circles in urban areas.

What weather challenges should SUV drivers expect around New South Wales?

New South Wales experiences varied weather patterns that can affect SUV handling, from sudden summer storms to winter fog in the Blue Mountains region. Rain can create slippery conditions on roads around Parramatta, requiring gentle acceleration and increased following distances in your Mitsubishi or Toyota SUV. Strong winds common in coastal areas may affect larger vehicles more than compact cars, so maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel during gusty conditions.

Which destinations near Parramatta are perfect for SUV adventures?

The Blue Mountains offer spectacular scenery accessible via well-maintained roads perfect for SUV exploration, with ample parking at popular lookouts and attractions. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park provides excellent access roads where your hired SUV's capabilities shine, allowing comfortable transport of hiking gear and picnic supplies. The Central Coast beaches are easily reached from Parramatta in a spacious Mazda or Nissan SUV, providing room for beach equipment and family groups.

Are compact or full-size SUVs better for families visiting Parramatta?

Full-size SUVs offer superior luggage space and passenger comfort for families exploring Parramatta and surrounding New South Wales attractions over multiple days. Compact SUVs like smaller Toyota or Kia models provide easier parking in Parramatta's busy areas while still offering elevated seating and good visibility. Consider your group size and luggage requirements, as full-size options accommodate more gear for extended trips to destinations like the Hunter Valley or South Coast.

What safety features should you check before driving an SUV in Parramatta?

Ensure your rental SUV's mirrors are properly adjusted to account for the vehicle's height and blind spots, particularly important when navigating Parramatta's busy intersections and roundabouts. Check that electronic stability control and traction systems are functioning, as these features help manage the higher centre of gravity inherent in Mitsubishi, Toyota, and other SUV models. Familiarise yourself with the hired SUV's braking characteristics and ensure all passengers understand seatbelt positioning for the elevated seating typical of these vehicles.

What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car on Turo?

To book a car on Turo in Australia, you must create a Turo account, be 21 years old or older, have a valid driver's licence, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you're booking your first trip, you'll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver's licence and some other information. In most cases, you'll get approved immediately, and you'll be set for every future road trip, business trip, and family holiday!

Is there long term car rental on Turo?

Yes there is — whether you want to rent a car for three days, three months, or even longer, you can on Turo. You'll find discounted prices on bookings lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.

What protection plan options does Turo offer?

When booking 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.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan. Review the Guest Product Disclosure Statement for more information.
