Recent Whitehorse car rental reviews
Raman is super friendly and prompt! He met me at the airport with the car and at the destination of my choice at the end of my rental. The car was clean, and in great condition. I really appreciated the maps and even an umbrella in the car for use if I needed. Thanks for your hospitality Raman! I would definitely rent a car from you again.
Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The vehicle was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and drove perfectly throughout the trip. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the host was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. The car made our trip comfortable, reliable, and stress-free. It was evident that Aayush takes great pride in providing a top-tier experience. Communication was excellent, instructions were clear, and everything exceeded expectations. I would not hesitate to rent from him again and would highly recommend both the vehicle and the host to anyone looking for a premium Turo experience. Thanks for helping make this trip such a great one!
The car was great. Pickup was fine drop off was smooth. A pleasure to deal with.
The car was clean and worked great for my trip. Simon was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.
It was perfect!!! Nice clean car that is excellent on gas. He brought the car right to me and picked it up too.
The car was in excellent condition, looked good, drove well and was clean. Simon showed up at the agreed on time and was very friendly and helpful. It was very good value for money and if I go again I would hire from him again.
Car is really nice and convenient! Simon is exceptionally nice. The hand brake was stuck for a bit when parked uphill but Simon even came over to check and helped me with that!
Great experience - very accommodating. Car worked awesome and was in good condition
Quality of car good. Communication excellent Pick up and drop off well executed. Thanks

The car was super clean and in great condition. The host was very friendly and communicative. Great experience!
Everything ran perfectly, good all around car, bo was great with communication and understanding
Mark was an extreme pleasure! His responsiveness and care for our trip made the Yukon that much better. Thanks!
It actually was fun driving this car. I felt safe and the fuel consumption was reasonable.
Mark is absolutely amazing. Great communication and easy to reach. If I return I will call him immediately because he cares and It shows. He made pickup as easy as 123. All his directions were spot on and required no follow-up. Thank you Mark 🙂
Simon is very kindly. Thanks for your service. This car condition is good and very comfortable. If I come over here second time, I rent a car to simon. 매우 친절하고 편합니다. 무엇보다 다른 렌터카 처럼 스티커가 붙어있지않아서 렌터카 티가 안나서 좋은 것 같습니다. 굿굿
Very organized and convenient pick up and drop off. Vehicle was extremely clean.
Mark was awesome to deal with. Super easygoing, great communication, and really flexible the whole way through. He went above and beyond to make things work, which I really appreciated. Genuinely a kind and friendly guy — made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The Nissan was dialed in for Yukon winter too, with all the essentials on hand, which was a big bonus. Would rent from Mark again anytime 👍
Bo was great... it helps that I actually know his family. My only issue that has nothing to do with the host but with Turo themselves... I had a family emergency and instead of handing in the car on the Sun, it was handed in Wed evening. I was only given a $4 refund!!! Are you kidding me! I haven't contacted customer service as im still dealing with emergency but that was 3.5 days earlier out of 6 days rental... so more than half and that small of a refund is BS.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.
In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.
