This van was ideal and great for the day . Highly recommend especially if your moving as it comes fully equipped which helped us massively. Highly recommend to friends and family
The host was super helpful and the van very tidy and easy to locate. Would highly recommend and will use again when needed.
Amazing host, had some issues with the van key cause it was dead. Alan came out and met me and fixed the issue quickly, even bought me a coffee! Awesome guy
Rental as described. Thanks a lot to the owner. Well kept vehicle. A . Cheers!
Van was great, could’ve perhaps been cleaner upon pickup but was more than okay for purpose. Pickup was relatively easy, could be simplified a bit or there could be more communication regarding pickup process and vehicle location.
Thank you Aus for being a great host. You made it so easy for us from start to finish. The vehicle was pristine and we felt very safe and comfortable driving the vehicle that was in such a good condition. Our 3 day trip could not have been so memorable without the vehicle. Thank you once again and we look forward to using your service for our future trips.
The van was all I wanted for the day. Quality was excellent and presented well. Pick up was easy and well explained.
Easy process - car parked on the street with easy instructions for pick up/drop off back on the street. No contact in person and smooth process. Will rent again.
A great option for moving larger items. Good price and communication. Thanks Alan.
I'm from Hong Kong. This is my first time renting this 12-seater car in Sydney through this website. I rented it for eight days. The location was very convenient, the price was very reasonable, and the pickup and return process was extremely simple — I was very pleasantly surprised. Whenever I had questions, they communicated with me through the chat function on the Turo app. For a first-time user of this app, it's easy to get confused, but luckily there was a staff member to explain things during pickup. The car was exactly as described in the photos. I hope they can add more pickup locations in the future.
