Absolutely outstanding experience. Renting Olu’s Mazda CX‑50 was hands‑down the best Turo booking I’ve ever made. The car was immaculately clean, smooth, powerful, and incredibly comfortable — it felt like driving a brand‑new vehicle. Olu himself is an exceptional host: responsive, friendly, flexible, and genuinely committed to making the trip stress‑free. Pickup and drop‑off were effortless, communication was instant, and every detail was handled with care. If you’re looking for a premium SUV with a premium host, this is the one. I’ll definitely rent from Olu again.
Renting Alaaldien’s Mazda CX-30 honestly felt like booking with a luxury car service. From start to finish, everything was seamless. He was incredibly responsive and checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly which I really appreciated. The check-in process was effortless—super smooth and surprisingly elevated in a way that made the whole experience feel premium. The car itself was spotless, practically brand new and clearly very well cared for. As a traveling private chef, having a reliable vehicle is non-negotiable for me, and this was exactly that. I didn’t have to think twice about anything—just get in and go. I truly have zero complaints. Incredible on gas, best price on an SUV and great host— If you’re considering booking don’t overthink it—just go ahead and reserve it! You’ll be glad you did. Thanks again, - Chef Holli T.
Our Mazda 3 car rental was perfect!! The pick up and drop off was seamless. Thank you so much for a great ride and wonderful customer service.
Awesome experience renting this 2024 Mazda CX-30 from Alaaldiens. The car was clean, smooth, and very comfortable to drive. Great communication and an easy pickup/drop-off process. Would definitely rent again.
The Mazda Miata was so much fun and ran great. We thoroughly enjoyed our car rental and Casey was amazing!
Very pleased with how understanding they were with time! Unfortunately there was bad traffic and they were very kind with what time we ended up coming at. The car runs very smooth. Changed my thoughts about Mazdas lol Definitely would rent again from them
This mazda is great! It was clean, drove well, and was very easy to find. The host Shaun is very friendly and made sure that I had a good experience. It wad a great deal and will definitely rent this car again.
As a host and a passionate driver, I have to say the Mazda MX-5 embodies what a true driver’s car is. Engine in the front, power to the back, and a manual gearbox—this is pure, authentic connection to the road. The magic happens between third and fourth gear on a curvy road—you feel completely one with the car. While the tires are a bit narrower than a Toyota 86, that only makes it more agile—it handles like a dream. It’s surprisingly comfortable for its size, but ultimately, it’s that raw driving joy at a reasonable price that stands out. And hats off to the host—great communication and a smooth, seamless experience!
Car pickup and drop off were both easy and convenient. Communication with the owner was straight forward and informative. Vehicle drives really nice as a cross between a car and SUV. I recommend and will rent again.
5 Stars – Amazing Vehicle, Perfect Experience! I had the absolute pleasure of renting the brand new 2025 Mazda CX-90, and I cannot say enough great things about it! The vehicle was practically fresh off the lot with fewer than 50 miles on it. It was spotless inside and out, still had that luxurious new car smell, and drove incredibly smoothly and efficiently. Fuel economy was fantastic—especially for an SUV this spacious! The interior was beautifully designed and super roomy, with plenty of space for a large family. The captain’s chairs in the second row were a huge plus, and even the third row was comfortable, which is rare to find. The tech features were modern and user-friendly—connected effortlessly to both iPhone and Android. The hosts were wonderful to work with—very responsive, informative, and made pickup and drop-off a breeze. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. As a longtime fan of Mazdas, this experience only solidified my love for the brand. Mazda vehicles are known for being reliable and safe, and this CX-90 is no exception. It’s a beautiful, feature-rich car that makes driving a joy. All in all, it was a great drive, a great trip, and a great experience. And the price? Unbeatable for a vehicle of this caliber. I’ll definitely be renting again!
George/ Matthew/ Paul have been absolutely a pleasure to rent a car from, so much in fact I did it twice in one month. They are professional, give above and beyond excellent customer service and communication, and to boot: they are just really good people. The Mazda Cx-5 AWD was exactly the car I needed for driving in and around Whistler, complete with snow tires, and felt completely safe in the car during heavy snowfall. Even when problems arose with the fob not responding, and the car having some intermittent delays starting up, their response time to my concerns was instant. I felt safe knowing that they would go above and beyond to make my car rental experience go smoothly.
Our host was so helpful when we made an error on our reservation. He reassured us that we’d have no issues picking up the car and we didn’t! Car was spotless! Excellent communication during our rental period. Way easier than traditional car rental companies. Thank you Denys!
This was the second time my family rented the mazda - I needed an SUV with AWD for the weekend, and David’s car was easy to pick up, clean, and came at a very reasonable price! As described, the car doesn’t come with much of the modern features (no carplay, no backup camera) which is something to keep in mind but those extra features were not things I needed. If anything, a simpler car is easier to figure out and my trip went smoothly.
I took this vehicle for a week and it was spectacular. Very smooth, very clean, and well maintained. The host was wonderful as well, responded pretty quickly, and answered all my questions. If have to rent a car again I will definitely try to get this one specifically or another from this host.
The best car I’ve ever rented on Turo. Everything was in excellent condition — clean, fresh, and ready to go. Leonor was incredibly welcoming and friendly. A great surprise for my first Mazda experience. The perfect car for any user and any need. Will definitely rent again without hesitation.
Tiffany was wonderful. We returned the car early & she made it so easy. Would rent from her again. The Mazda CX5 was a great car.
Beatriz was amazing to work with! The Mazda was in perfect condition and ran smoothly for the 2 weeks that I kept the car for. Her communication was superb. I will definitely rent again when needed. Thank you so much! This has easily been the best Turo experience so far!
