Sheldon’s very friendly and accomodating which made my trip incredibly easy. If I ever need to rent a car again, Sheldon’s the guy!
I had a great experience renting from Sheldon. The vehicle was exactly as described, clean, well-maintained, and ran perfectly throughout my trip. Communication was excellent from start to finish, with clear instructions for pickup and drop-off. Sheldon was friendly, responsive, and made the entire rental process smooth and hassle-free. I would definitely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable Turo host.
The car was great, maybe only precise the gas required for the car before the trip and give the information once the reservation is made.
Rent a Tesla with FSD with them for the road trip. Best decision ever! Instructions are clear and hand over, including giving us access thru app, is fuss free. Love the service for making the rental extremely straightforward.
Alex was a great car host. He set up the blue tooth and showed me all the things about his car. The price was right and great gas mileage. He dropped the car off right where I was staying. I highly recommend!
Feng was a fantastic host. The car was clean, exactly as described, and had no issues throughout the entire trip. Communication was excellent—he was very responsive and flexible with the checkout time, which made the rental experience smooth and stress-free. I would definitely rent from Feng again and highly recommend him to other Turo guests.
This mazda is great! It was clean, drove well, and was very easy to find. The host Shaun is very friendly and made sure that I had a good experience. It wad a great deal and will definitely rent this car again.
Timothy was a fantastic host! Very friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire trip. The car was clean, in great condition, and exactly as described. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient. Timothy went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. Highly recommended, and I would definitely rent from him again!
Great host and a great vehicle. Communication was quick and clear throughout the trip. I unfortunately had a minor incident during the rental, and the host was understanding, professional, and very helpful throughout the process. I really appreciated their calm and supportive attitude. Would happily rent from them again. Highly recommended!
Pick up was easy. Communication was simple and the car itself was fab. I'd recommend getting FSD for the trip as it really was fun to see it work on the Canadian roads. Good car and decent rental price.
Great experience overall! The car was clean, easy to find, and the whole pickup/drop-off process was super smooth and convenient. The host was very responsive and helpful. Really enjoyed the trip — would definitely rent again!
Great host! The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Communication was quick and easy throughout the trip. Pickup and drop-off were smooth. I would definitely rent from this host again. Highly recommended!
Car was super comfy for a long trip, and with a lot of room. Ramin was incredibly honest and communicative, would rent again!
From the reservation process to pick-up, everything was smooth, and the drive was comfortable.
I had an absolutely amazing experience renting from Viviana. I had booked this vehicle very last minute due to my Hellcat being in the shop. She was incredibly accommodating with my booking changes throughout my trip and went out of her way to make everything smooth and stress free. Both pickup and drop off were super easy and convenient. The Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack is an absolute blast to drive, super fast, incredibly smooth, and just fun. It’s a true performance vehicle, so it really shines on the road. Just a heads up, the range is on the lower side if you’re planning longer highway trips, so plan your charging stops accordingly. But for everything else, this car delivers. Would definitely rent from Viviana again and highly recommend this car for anyone who wants an exciting EV driving experience!
This car is in such good condition, clean, fuel efficient and economical to rent. So far the best car I have rented.
Excellent car! Very clean, smooth to drive, and well maintained. Had a great trip with no issues at all. Highly recommended, and I would gladly rent it again.”
Lovely host and super communicative! The car was dropped off right in front of my building and I had no issues with the car during the trip. I would definitely rent it again.
Great host, helped me get from the drop off back to my friend's place after I dropped off the car. My second time with this host. I plan to use this host every time I rent a car in Vancouver.
Picking up at YVR
Pickup & return areas at YVR
After touching down at Vancouver Intl Airport, exit the main terminal and follow the signs to the Parkade (a multi-level, covered parking lot). Head up to Level 3, where you'll find your YVR rental car ready and waiting for you. By booking on Turo, you can skip the hassle and queues of the Vancouver airport car rental counters and secure the keys to your rental car once you land. To exit the terminal parking, use the ticket your Turo host has left in the vehicle for you.
Communicate with your host
Prior to your arrival at Vancouver International Airport, you can contact your Turo host via the Turo app to confirm exactly where to find your car. That way, once you make the short walk from the terminal to the Parkade parking lot, you know exactly what parking space to look for on Level 3. Plus, when you're returning your car at the end of your booking, use Turo messaging to confirm exactly where you've parked the car, including the parking stall number.
Parking & airport fees
At Vancouver International Airport, Turo is required to collect and remit to the airport a fee that allows your host to deliver a vehicle there.

If your host requires you to cover the costs of parking fees at YVR, this will be disclosed on the vehicle listing for full transparency and no unexpected surprises.
Why rent a car at the airport on Turo?

Many hosts offer contactless check-in and checkout, if their car has remote access technology, allowing you to find the car, unlock it, and be on your way without meeting them in person. Message your host for specific instructions.
