The car was very useful during our journey, and we managed to enjoy a fulfilling trip as a result of this vehicle.

We had a great experience renting through GMYK Industries. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and all of the instructions for airport pickup, parking, and drop-off were clear and easy to follow. The whole process was seamless. The vehicle was exactly as represented, in good condition, and worked perfectly for our time in PEI. The only minor feedback would be a bit of an odour inside the vehicle, which seemed more noticeable with the very hot and humid weather during our stay. It wasn’t a significant issue or something that affected our overall experience, but worth mentioning as something that could perhaps be freshened up. Overall, a fantastic rental experience and we would happily rent through GMYK Industries again. Highly recommended!

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. 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.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. 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.
