Nick is great, friendly chill guy. The car is very cute and cozy, definitely older so can make some sounds but was a reliable car during our trip and took us to where we needed to be. Overall, great experience considering the price relative to others in St. Johns.
Couldn't reccomend this car and owner enough ! Great fuel economy and reliable car along with a excellent price and very clean car. The owner made things as easy as possible full tank of gas at pickup, personal number incase there was any issues and even offered to pick it up from my location or give me a ride home after pickup 10/10 all the way around
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.
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.
Great car and communication from Reza. The car drives really nicely and I would gladly rent it again. Thanks!
James communicated really well and the car was in good shape to roam around.
