Easy to find at the airport, faster than the rental counter, large car at a reasonable price.
Best experience ever! Car was the perfect size for our multi-family vacation. And throwing in snorkel gear and a beach wagon for super cheap…definitely worth it. Drop off and pick up were easier than the rental car companies. Highly recommend Jimmy and his crew!
“Great van to rent — comfortable, and drove really well. It was very responsive on the road and had useful features like a phone holder, Bluetooth connection, and a reverse camera which made the trip much easier and more convenient. Overall, a smooth and hassle-free experience. Would definitely rent again!”
The van was great for our needs. We took a group of nine to the North Shore for exploring. Van is clean and well kept. Everything functions as expected. The ride is comfortable for a large vehicle. Andrea was great to rent from at every step of the way. This was my first Turo rental and she and her van made it a great adventure. Thank you, Andrea.
Excellent van, really loved it and it was easy to collect and drop off. Arrik was super accommodating. Would definitely rent again.
Jimmy is a great host, communication was on point! Van was clean, easy to drive and I had no problems. They dropped off the van earlier than the drop off time which was great, so I didn’t have to worry about that. I will definitely rent from Jimmy again, especially this van!

Although it was our first time using this app to rent a car for a trip and we weren’t very familiar with some of the procedures, our Australia trip still ended very smoothly and safely. The owner was also very friendly and responded to messages promptly. Definitely recommended.
The van was in great shape. Ed was a very friendly and helpful host. I'd rent from Ed again.
This was such a great deal, the staff on arrival were so helpful and easy transition from getting the keys to getting your jobs done. Car has loads of storage and runs so smoothly, I needed to extend an extra day and had no issues. This is a brilliant deal would use again absolutely. Such a smooth manual to drive highly recommend booking this trip. Car was in great condition.
Van was great. Owner was responsive. Only 15 passenger vehicle on island to rent.
Fantastic experience from start to finish! The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described.
