Beautiful car, immaculate condition and cleanliness, awesome and extremely kind host with great communication. Will definitely rent again!
Car drove well. Had some previous cosmetic damage from a past renter he was up front about. And didn't cause us any issues for our drive. Would absolutely rent through him again.
Adam was very accommodating and communicative. The car was amazing and we had no troubles during our trip!
Car quality was great with good fuel mileage, with a pickup that was just a few blocks down from me was convenient. When finding a ride and charter bus was out of the question. Setting up an account with Turo, was extremely convenient compared to actual rental companies. Will use again as necessity warrants it.
Amazing host! Super recommended. Fantastic car and super easy pick up and drop off. Best choice ever
Car was great! The left blinker will need to be fixed soon but it still works, just blinks fast and has a check blinker sign that comes up upon starting car! Tire pressure sign is on but nothing wrong with tires. Drove very nicely and is very very fuel efficient! Highly recommend this host and vehicle. Would rent again
Honestly the host was super chill and EXTREMELY NICEEEE the car was SOLID for the year it is honestly no complains and the car was veryyyy presentable when he pulled it out, UR THE BEST :)
I couldn't have asked for a better first Turo experience. The car was incredibly clean and drove wonderfully. The host was so helpful with communication the entire time, which made the process a breeze. Highly recommended, and I will definitely rent from them again!
Adam was great and so was his car. I was hesitant about Kia Forte at first but definitely surprised by the comfort and quality.
Car runs smoothly , great value for $ , great gas economy , would recommend
Easy transaction, host was prompt and quick to answer. The car is older so certain noises like a lil rattling when on the highway is expectedly only thing I’d recommend for anyone renting is if you want your own music get yourself fm Bluetooth transmitter because my regular aux cord for connecting didn’t work. All in all worth it!
Great communication and clean vehicle. Definitely will be using his service again
