Recent reviews
Pick-up Location: Excellent and very convenient. Host: Very friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process. Vehicle: The car was in excellent mechanical condition. It appeared to have been recently serviced, the tyres were in great condition, and it drove very well throughout my trip. The only area for improvement was the interior cleanliness. While the car was otherwise excellent, the interior appeared not to have been cleaned after the previous renter. There was some mud around the rear footwells, and the floor mats were still quite dirty. A more thorough interior clean before collection would have made the experience perfect. Overall, a very positive rental experience, and I would happily rent this vehicle again.
Everything was smooth and Kawaljit was great, the car was nice for the price and it was easy pickup and drop off
Friday night with no car rental agences open or out of rental cars, Turo called me back right away with a car ready to drop off for me! Car was dropped off in my driveway without needing me to sign anything. When I was ready to drive, it was unlocked remotely for me so no hassles. Car stocked nicely with water and snacks! Clean and smelling good. Super flexible booking as I wasn't sure how many days I needed - couple clicks and a text message allowed me drop off at a convenient location and car was picked up from there. This is what car rental service should be!!! Thank you Turo. Will definitely rent again.
Great vehicle and excellent experience overall. The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. It was reliable, comfortable, and drove smoothly throughout the trip. Communication was easy, and everything from pickup to drop-off was straightforward and hassle-free. I would definitely rent this vehicle again and would recommend it to others.
Super nice, extremely responsive very smooth experience overall would definitely recommend for anyone looking to rent a car in Victoria
great car! loved how easy pickup and dropoff was! will rent again when in town :)
Excellent host! The vehicle was exactly as described, clean, well-maintained, and ready on time. Communication was quick and professional throughout the entire trip. The pickup and drop-off process was smooth and hassle-free. I had a great experience and would definitely rent from this host again. Highly recommended!
Host was very easy to work with. Brought the car to the cruise ship port for us, which saved a huge amount of time on our partial day in Victoria. Car was in good shape. I appreciated the charging cable provided, which proved helpful on our way back to the ship after a day of sightseeing/picture-taking (that had drained my phone’s battery). I would definitely rent from this host again if I return to the area!
Car was perfect for our trip! Ali was so accommodating and very friendly. It made our trip great!
Daniel was great to deal with. Met us on time and the car was an easy drive, comfortable and reliable. Very nice and helpful host!
Great communication, car interior was ok, otherwise running well. You pay for what you get. Overall fair value.
First time using Turo - great experience with Daniel. Car was exactly what I needed, no hassle and comparable price to rentals without deposit requirements. Definitely recommend!
Car was excellent - great to drive and so efficient on eco mode. Perfect to save with the high gas prices from agent orange's ongoing war. Had a wonderful time. The check engine light did go off midway but Ashpal was quick to respond that it was a known sensor issue, and sure enough it turned off after awhile. Thanks for the fuss free pick up and drop off as well! Would book again☺️
Car was clean and tidy, drives very well, pickup location is easy to get to and find, and the host is very friendly and organised :)
Car was great, works fine, only there is not usb charge which helps a lot when you travel and need phone battery for maps etc, also no bluetooth. Good communication, car clean and good conditions
The car is super nice and drives amazing , very luxury , and super nice owner very helpful and amazing tips
Great car, sips fuel, perfect for that pricey BC gas! Having staff actually greet you on pickup and drop-off was a great touch.

Top tips for renting a car in Victoria
Victoria Intl Airport is the gateway to Vancouver Island’s incredible beauty, from coastal drives to hidden wilderness trails. If you're planning to explore with your rental car on Turo, here are some essential tips for getting around and maximizing your time in this corner of BC.
How does airport pickup work at Victoria International Airport?
When booking on Turo, you can arrange to pickup your rental car at any handy location near Victoria International Airport. Before boarding your flight, you can easily communicate with your host via the Turo app to set a designated pickup spot. This way, when you arrive, you can touch down and breeze past the baggage claim to your designated pick-up location and hit the road — traditional car rental companies could never!
How does drop-off work at Victoria International Airport?
Forget about the long, drawn-out return process at traditional Victoria Airport car rental agencies. Turo makes dropping off your rental car straightforward. Typically, you'll return your vehicle to the same location where you picked it up at the start of your booking. When dropping off your rental car, use the Turo app to let your host know exactly where you've parked the car. Then, make your way back to Victoria International Airport and head to the gate to catch your departing flight.
How far is Victoria International Airport from Downtown Victoria?
Victoria Airport is just over 25 km from Downtown Victoria, making it easy to explore local attractions and landmarks. Whether you’re a local or from out of town, having a rental car gives you quick access to popular spots like the Inner Harbour, Chinatown, and Fisherman’s Wharf.
The scenic drive to Downtown Victoria takes about 30 minutes, providing a convenient gateway to Vancouver Island's rich history and vibrant culture.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Victoria?
Driving in Victoria is similar to most major cities in Canada. Expect peak hour traffic between 6 am and 9am as well as 3 pm to 6 pm on weekdays, with most traffic heading to and from the Downtown Victoria area.
One unique rule is the use of traffic circles (roundabouts), which are common at intersections. Vehicles entering the roundabout have the right of way, so always yield to traffic inside the circle before continuing in a counter-clockwise direction around the central island.
Recently, speed limits in the City of Victoria has been lowered from 50km/h to 30km/h. These lower speed limits are now in place across neighbourhood areas of Victoria, including the Hillside Quadra, Burnside Gorge, Oaklands and Victoria West areas.
British Columbia also follows a unique '12-second rule' for identifying hazards while driving. In city areas, look one to two blocks ahead, and on highways, scan up to half a kilometre ahead of you. This helps to mitigate potential accidents and prepares drivers for navigating weather hazards like fog and rain.
What is parking like in Victoria?
Parking in Victoria varies depending on the area you’re visiting. Street parking can be limited in busy areas like Downtown Victoria and near popular attractions such as Beacon Hill Park and the Inner Harbour. Many streets offer metered spots with varying rates, so having some coins or using a parking app like Honk or PayByPhone is helpful.
For off-street parking, several public garages provide affordable rates. Johnson Street Parkade, View Street Parkade, and Capital Parkade are popular choices for convenient access to key locations. Keep in mind that spaces may fill up quickly during peak times, especially in the summer months, so it’s recommended to plan ahead when renting a car in Victoria.
Are there toll roads in Victoria?
There are no toll roads in Victoria or the rest of British Columbia. Drivers can travel freely without worrying about toll fees, making it convenient for those renting a car to explore the area.
Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Victoria?
Victoria is well-equipped with both petrol stations and EV chargers. Regardless of what you’re driving, you’ll find plenty of spots to fuel up — or plug in — before hitting the road.
Shell on Quadra Street, Esso on Blanshard Street, and Petro-Canada on Douglas Street are some popular petrol stations on Victoria. For EV charging, Johnson Street Parkade offers Level 2 chargers, and you’ll find additional chargers near the Royal BC Museum. The Ivy network operates chargers at several locations across the city, including near Beacon Hill Park and downtown Victoria, making it easy to power up before exploring Vancouver Island.
Do I need to rent a car in Victoria?
While Downtown Victoria is very walkable, renting a car in Victoria gives you the flexibility to explore the city and beyond. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway or need a long-term rental, having a vehicle ensures convenience.
If you're planning to visit attractions like the Butchart Gardens or Cowichan Valley, renting a car is the easiest way to maximize your time and hop between key sights at your own pace.

From compact cars to high-end luxury vehicles, on Turo you'll discover a wide range of car types and models from local hosts.
