First time user here. Easy peasy. Good vehicle. so glad I did this than a complicated rental for a day trip with regular car rental companies.
I had an excellent experience renting a car from Zeeshan. The car was in perfect condition clean, well-maintained, and drove incredibly smoothly throughout my trip. Zeeshan was outstanding with communication from start to finish. He was always responsive, helpful, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. I ended up returning the car about 1.5 hours late, and he was extremely patient and understanding, which I truly appreciated. It's rare to find such great customer service. I would definitely book with Zeeshan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable car rental experience. Thank you, Zeeshan!
Excellent host! The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Communication was quick and friendly, and the whole rental process was smooth from start to finish. I would definitely rent from this host again. Highly recommended!
Everything went fine with the car rental including the pickup process, the driving experience and the flexibility to return it. It is good for the price. Thank you Chad :)
Clean car, good communications, good price ... distance from airport and pick-up process are more complex than other Turo rentals. Give yourself time and all is good. If you're in a time crunch it could be stressful. This may be the trade-off for the good price.
The car was good, well kept and as described. Picking a Civic with these gas prices is always a plus. I would use this host again.
The car was really fun yet responsive to drive in the city as well as on the highway! Encountered no issues! Very responsive host. Totally worth the price paid. Absolutely recommend this to everyone who’s travelling in a group of 2
Tenzin's car was amazing to use during our family trip. The car is really clean inside with amazing AC which was must needed this past week. Tenzin's also provided a USB jack to connect to my phone, which was key for our music selection and navigation. Honestly, I would rent again from him.
Jevonte was fantastic to rent from. He was very accommodating, delivered the vehicle right on time, and made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. He was polite, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout. The car itself was excellent—clean, comfortable, and incredibly fuel-efficient thanks to the hybrid drivetrain. I highly recommend it, especially for longer road trips. Overall, it was a five-star experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from Jevonte again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and seamless rental experience.
I rented the 2022 Honda Elantra, and it was a fantastic experience. The car was smooth, fuel-efficient, and really comfortable. The rental process was easy, and I’d definitely rent it again.
Great car, clean and well maintained. The owner was friendly, responsive, and made the whole rental process smooth and easy. The car was exactly as described, reliable, fuel-efficient, and perfect for getting around. Would definitely rent again. Highly recommended!
Host and pickup location are good. Car is obviously old as per listing thats okay. Needs some work cleaning tint glue off the window and one of the wheel wells has a clanky noise when going over a bump. Otherwise nice cheap rental.
The car was great for our road trip to Manitoulin Island. It handled well, was comforable and - no surprise - was outstanding on gas. For example, we filled up well over 100 km away from home and we really didn't need to gas up when we returned. It was still full. Sergii is a wonderful host. Professional and attentive. We would rent through him again.
Car was running smoothly, we had no problems, we will rent cars from Turo in the future. Thank you
Car was great, its clean and well looked after. It is roomy and comfortable for our trip (saved us when it started raining heavily) but no problems on the road at all. Aline was helpful for arranging an early pick up and getting set up with the car, would happily rent again!
The host was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire trip. He was always available and very responsive whenever I needed anything, no matter the time. The car was exactly as described, and the whole experience was smooth and easy. Thank you so much for the excellent service. I would definitely rent from him again!
Outstanding service with a smile. Car is in excellent condition and just as expected. Off the best Turo experiences ever. I will definitley rent again when in Toronto!
