Renault TWINGO II 2014

Eric and Valerie have made it impossible for me to ever rent from one of the big international car rental companies again. This was my third rental with them and they are everything the big guys are not. They are friendly, efficient, customer focused are most importantly really easy to deal with. Their cars are great as well.

The host, the car, and the whole Turo experience was 10/10. The price was fantastic and the whole experience was seamless. We had weird hours we wanted to leave and return the car that would not have worked with a car rental agency, but Angel and Turo made the whole process easy and seamless. I’m a bigger guy so I was worried about how comfortable the car would be and it was perfect. The great ride made our whole vacation possible and comfortable. I really appreciated the vehicles safety features too!

Hyundai Accent 2017

Rented this last minute because my Mom didn't tell me until the day before my trip that she had no car. Was pretty easy for the most part. Finding the shuttle at the airport for the car rental area, was a little difficult for me. But you can always ask someone at the airport. Then I followed Turo given directions to the car. It's outside of the rental area but still easy to find because the lot is literally labeled "Turo." As for the car, I DID NOT MIND these "problems" with the car at all, but you should be informed that the car: Cons - Smelled INTENSELY LIKE WEED. I tried to spray it with multiple Febreze, etc. It helped but it still stinks a bit. - The car door lock was extremely finicky, you must PRESS AND HOLD the button it seems. - Crumbs in the backseat (no big deal) - Not sure but seems like occasional light scraping sound sometimes when driving around on normal road. - Not a problem per se, but just know the car has quite a bit of scratches compared to other Turo rentals. Just be sure to document as much as you can. Pros - Good Value for the price - ICE COLD A/C. (Although I visited in winter, so idk how it holds up to the Vegas heat, but again better than my childhood cars with zero A/C) - Pretty quiet car overall (I mention the scrape for the owner to consider getting it checked out, but nothing to make you feel embarrassed while driving.) Overall, I grew up poor, and this car was much better than most of the ones of my childhood, so I didn't mind at all. Just tried my best to document them that's all. But anyone renting who these things might bother should be aware of it. Anyways, thank you so much Nick!!! I would definitely rent again!

Subaru Outback 2013

Andre was great, the car was somewhat still dirty, dust, dirt, what appeared to be cigarette ashes, animal hair, sticky spills around the cup holders in the center console and the door panels. Crumbs and dust/dirt left in the door handles and cubby's. In the center console cup holders and cubbys. On the top of the dashboard, around the steering column and gauges. Sticky dusty windows and stereo buttons. Rear view mirror had sticky smudges on it. All the windows inside were dusty and dirty with smudges and idk what really.. the car had a bad smell of animals like dogs, and faint cigarette smell.. however as I got further into my trip I got used to it and wasn't bothered by it anymore. A lot of these issues honestly didn't bother me very much. I was more worried of being blamed for them when I returned the car. Unfortunately I was put behind schedule due to a passenger side headlight and passenger side tail light being burned out. However upon informing andre, he was very quick with a solution to take the car to valvoline where they were able to repair the lights before I left for my trip. If I wasn't already running late It wouldn't of bothered me. Andre was also very quick to reimburse me the whole price of the repairs immediately upon me sending him the receipt of the work.. I very much appreciated that! I also appreciate that instead of canceling my trip Andre worked out a way to have the lights fixed with no trouble of my own. He was always quick to respond to all of my very long messages full of questions. This is my first time using turo and I did not know the ins and outs of the rental process. He was able to guide me threw every step all while being polite and keeping his patience with me! Hah. I ended up running behind schedule on my way back as well and was surprised how simple and easy it was to change the return time from noon to after 9 p.m. all without adding any fees to my bill! That was very helpful of andre to allow me to do. I also ended up being a little passed my return time due to vacuuming the car and dusting everything to my best ability. So that andre wouldn't have to deal with someone else's mess and the next person who rents the vehicle will not have to worry about it either. I had no issues with doing that for him after he was so helpful with me! The vehicle was a little different then what im used to. But in no time I settled in with the car and had a very enjoyable trip! I would forsure rent another vehicle from andre in the future due to how well he accommodated me on this trip. Even tho the car had the mess, that was not andre, But left over from previous renters. He even made sure to have a snow brush and ice scraper in the car for me. But unfortunately the previous renters also took that with them. Im sure there will be a new one for the next person who rents the car because thats how much andre cares about his customers !! 5 stars for andre !!! Whoever returned his vehicle like that should be ashamed and think about how it would feel if someone treated your things the same way! Once again THANK YOU andre! I will reach out to you next time I need to rent a car.. I appreciate all your help thru the process! I appreciate your professionalism and quick responses to all my questions and thank you for making sure the vehicle was 100% good to go for me before I left and wouldn't of been able to fix it. 5 of 5 stars for andre !!

My credit card wasn’t working for some odd reason and rental companies wouldn’t let me rent a car so I booked this Turo last minute and it was a reasonable price for five days. I will do it again when I come back to Vancouver in August.

The host, Tadeh was exceptional. The very best in customer service. I had the best experience with renting from Tadeh. Everything was so easy; Tadeh was super accommodating, very kind, he went way above and beyond what I reasonably expected. Tadeh is a thousand times better than AVIS, HERTZ, Enterprise, Thrifty, Budget, Dollar, and all the major car rental. Tadeh gave me the best deal; the major car rentals do not come close; I saved a lot of money. The car was great, very good on the gas mileage; and very clean. Tadeh made sure pick-up location was very convenient for me, Tadeh drove the car to where I was; it’s the best. Tadeh also picked up the car when I was done and again made sure it was convenient for me. I am very grateful for this. Once I return from my deployment, absolutely renting from Tadeh again; will be telling all my friends and colleagues. This is just amazing customer service. I am very appreciative for everything. THANK YOU

Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2026

“10/10 experience. I rented the car for a week and the total came out to around $400, which was an amazing price for a brand new 2026 vehicle. The entire process was incredibly easy from start to finish. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient, and I loved that I didn’t have to physically meet or talk to anyone. The key was waiting in a lockbox by the window, which honestly made the experience even better for me. The car itself was spotless, smelled clean, and drove perfectly. It was also amazing on gas — I drove all the way through Saturday and the tank was only halfway. The host responded quickly to messages and was super helpful the entire time. Overall, this was one of the easiest and best rental experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely rent from them again and honestly would choose this over Enterprise or Hertz any day

Fandi and our cohost provided excellent communication throughout the process. Our car, 2020 Honda Insight was clean and in good working order. Performance was good around the hills and mountains in the greater San Francisco area. The drop off at the San Jose airport was excellent. Why go to the “normal” car rental companies!

Top tips for renting a car in Fort Wayne


As you drive throughout Fort Wayne, you'll notice lush, tree-lined streets, charming alleyways, and a mix of historical and modern architecture. Ensure your time spent traversing the city is safe and enjoyable by brushing up on Indiana's road rules and driving conditions. We've also got top tips for navigating parking, finding gas or charge, driving toll roads, and more.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Fort Wayne?


Fort Wayne is a small city, which means driving here is relaxed and other drivers are usually friendly. To ensure your experience is stress-free, always adhere to local road rules, including wearing a seatbelt at all times, only operating your phone on hands-free, driving on the right-hand side of the road, and obeying local speed limits. In Fort Wayne, the speed limit in most residential and metropolitan areas is 30 to 35 miles per hour (mph), and between 55 and 70 mph on highways and rural roads.


In Indiana, you must begin using your turn signal at least 200 feet before you plan on turning, or 300 feet in areas where the speed is above 50 mph. You may not park within 50 feet of a railway crossing in Fort Wayne or the state of Indiana. As are the rules in most American states, always yield to emergency vehicles by moving over to another lane, or slowing to 10 mph if it is not safe to move.


Winter in the Midwest can be unpredictable, so it's best to be prepared for everything from ice to fog to snow. If you plan on driving in icy conditions, always equip your vehicle with snow tires or chains – you can filter rental cars with snow tires on Turo.


What is parking like in Fort Wayne?


Fort Wayne is full of street parking and garage options that make traveling into the city center, suburbs, and surrounds a simple exercise. You'll find two-hour street parking meters scattered across downtown Fort Wayne. In suburban areas, there are also ample free street parking spaces – just be sure to check you don't need a permit before you park.


There are also a bunch of reliable, secure paid parking garages in the downtown Fort Wayne area, so you can leave your rental car for hours at a time without a worry. If you'd prefer not to pay, look for local malls close to your destination – both Glenbrook Square and Jefferson Pointe offer two-hour free parking.


Are there toll roads in Fort Wayne?


The Indiana Toll Road (ITR) runs close to Fort Wayne, so it's likely you'll drive on it if you plan on visiting other towns in the state. Part of Interstate 90, you can pay for trips on the ITR using an E-ZPass after you travel, or with cash at one of the toll booths. If you're looking to save money, though, there are alternative roads you can take that still allow you to explore Fort Wayne freely.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Fort Wayne?


With a booming population of nearly 270,000 residents as of 2023, Fort Wayne is equipped with all the conveniences of a small city – including ample gas stations and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. You'll spot places to pump your gas along major roads in the Fort Wayne city center, including S Clinton St, E Lewis St, W Jefferson Blvd, and E Washington Blvd.


Most EV chargers in Fort Wayne are concentrated around the main downtown area, with reliable options from ChargePoint accessible at E Berry St & S Barr St, E Wayne St & S Barr St, E Washington Blvd & S Calhoun St (Civic Center Garage), and W Wayne St & S Harrison St.


Do I need to rent a car in Fort Wayne?


We absolutely recommend renting a car during your time in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The city's public transit infrastructure – serviced by Citilink buses – is growing, but it's still not developed enough to get you to more remote areas or ensure your journeys are hassle-free. But, with a reliable car rental, Fort Wayne is your oyster, from West Central to Windsor Woods.
