Recent reviews
The car was comfortable and reliable, and Hamed was helpful and friendly in both pickup and return. Overall a great experience, especially when there was literally nothing available from traditional car rental companies. My only note—and I’d have given 4.5 stars if that were an option—is that the car was very “personalized” or “lived in” in a way that wasn’t comfortable for a rental. I’d suggest seat covers, ornaments, dash cams, and other trinkets and attachments be removed before handing a car over to the next renter.
Nick was great to deal with, I had to rush to look for a rental as my vehicle broke down on TCH. Responded very quickly, and was more than willing to accommodate when I needed extra time to wait for my vehicle from garage. Car was a joy to drive, handled excellent on the highway. Great little car for anyone who misses driving manual or just wanting for a little joy ride. Would highly recommend
Jaspal and his wife went above and beyond to accommodate us! We found ourselves in trouble and they bailed us out by delivering the car to us and then at the end of our trip took us to the airport
The host was great! Ahmed gave us some good tips on what to see on our trip and was very helpful when we experienced difficulties with TURO. The car was clean and reliable and good on gas (which is a real plus these days!) So, Ahmed and the car get a 5 star rating; our dealings with TURO- 2 stars at most.
Praveen made pick up and drop off easy, was very kind - even offered to drop me off somewhere - and the car was in solid shape! Highly recommend
Jaspal was super easy to communicate with. Very easy pick up and drop off. The car was very nice to drive
Morgan was an excellent host and kept the car in clean condition for pick up. Communication was superb and he was available to answer at all times.
Car worked great (its a toyota - nuff said). Owner kept it in good shape for us. We arrived at 2am and he was ok with it. Thx!
The car was great, and comfortable! Newfoundland is a great place, I highly recommend this car!
Nick was an amazing host, i highly recommend him to anybody. Super welcoming as well as friendly and the car was in great condition. Brought us from point A to point B with no problems. If i could rate him a 10, i definitely will! I will be booking again for sure. Thank you!
Car was okay. As expected for its age. A little noisy on the highway. Ran great. Very friendly host. Our host accommodated our request for pickup and drop off location. This was really appreciated!
Everything went smoothly and the car worked like a charm. Excellent fuel economy and surprisingly roomy. Thanks for making our first Turo experience go well!
Great car — it was fun driving the Mazda MX-5 around Newfoundland! Nick is a great host. I highly recommend renting from him!
Nick was a great host! The car was very to drive and we were even able to put the roof down for our drive back from Bonavista. In
