We had a fantastic road trip in George’s Tesla, the car was a highlight of our trip! His clear instructions made pickup and return easy, and he was always quick to respond, which helped us several times along the way. When we needed help with internet connectivity during the trip, he sorted it out promptly. George was warm, thoughtful, and a pleasure to deal with. Would happily rent from him again!
Host was maybe the nicest guy I’ve come across as a host. Definitely the best vehicle I’ve driven off Turo in Toronto. Best price possible.

Awesome experience! Great price, quality, communication, and accessible pick up. Looking forward to booking again!
This was simply an amazing experience from start to finish. Kyle is an exquisite host. He met me perfectly on time, and showed me around the car. Functions, controls, features - all of it. He made sure I was fully comfortable before I drove off. He also stayed in touch with me to make sure everything was fine since I was crossing the Canada-US border. The car was simply divine. What a driving machine! Great sound, great handling and the convertible aspect made it the best weekend I’ve had in a long time. Winding roads, pocket rocket at your disposal, and great stopping power for traffic jams. I can’t wait to rent this car again! Thank you again Kyle!
