Beautiful car, nice drive and easy drop off and collection in Jersey City. Will rent again.
Great car, super clean, easy and convenient pickup in Jersey City. Would happily rent from ChrisShawnda again!
Good MPG and location. Within walking distance of the PATH station in Jersey City.
Great service, made my experience much easier by meeting me in manhattan as opposed to jersey city. Would definitely rent from again!
Great experience renting from Michael. I’ll definitely recommend Michael’s vehicle for anyone in the Jersey City/Hoboken/Manhattan area. Great host and great vehicle!
Michael’s car is perfect for a weekend gateway and a smooth ride. Great host, easy communication and the rental process is brilliant. Would definitely recommend, Turo at its best!
Michaels car was perfect for my little day trip. It was super easy to pick up in jersey city! Thank you Michael!!!
I have to say that Michael and his associate made my first time experience with Turo extremely positive. Michael’s timely communication and response removed the uncertainty. I couldn’t have made it to a family members funeral without the convenience of his service at a reasonable price that a large car rental agency couldn’t offer. Michael went out of his way to get me to my destination, customer focus at its best. I will definitely use Michael’s service again.
Deric and the rental process was super easy i will definitely recommend anyone that needs the car plus i think deric has the best price out of all the other rentals
Clean nice car. Lauren made the rental process very easy. Spacious vehicle, great for my trip.
Perfect as always. Easy pick up easy drop off. No hidden fee whatsoever, and Deric is always there if you need assistance. Will always go to Deric if I need a car in Jersey City!
Absolutely pristine Tesla Model Y. Thomas is a great, flexible host. Definitely someone to rebook with. Worth the trip over to Jersey City from Manhattan.
Xiaozhou’s car is as described and well maintained. Parked in am easily accessible garage in a good location center if Jersey City. Will rent again.
Sonny’s Tesla, model Y, was perfect for a trip to Catskills for a week. Pick up and checkin was seamless at the Jersey City Mall. Return was equally easy. Highly recommend.
Super clean car. Communicative and flexible host. Pickup and drop off with host in person near Grove Street PATH (ie don’t need to find street parking). No carplay but does have usb and directions play thru stereo.
This was seamless. The car is in incredible shape. Deric is responsive and was accommodating to me on extremely short notice after another car rental fell through. Definitely my preferred host in Jersey City.
Trip was good , pick up time and location as stated in email communication without any hassle.
This car charge didn’t even last me a full day. I drove from NY to CT and was on 3% battery by the time I made it back home at 7pm. But the rental process was excellent. Thanks again for everything.
This rental process was very easy and smooth. Robert was a great host. I will definitely rent with him again.
The car and owner were great! Everything was just as we expected. Gabriel makes the car rental process so easy and seamless.
I've rented this Wrangler from Chaya to attend my brother's wedding! It was the best experience I've ever had from any rental company ever! The color looks amazing in person! At first I thought it was black but it is a different type of black called granite, looks amazing and better in person! This 2021 wrangler has 3 modes that Chaya helped understand what I was renting, it has hybrid, electric & e-save mode! The last time I rented a wrangler in 2019, I remember my complaint was that it eats alot of gas, but Chaya's 2021 jeep wrangler is a hybrid, so it helped save alot of money where I barely had to fill up any gas! You can just plug it in & charge it with electricity like a normal house outlet & it charges the vehicle's battery to give you a great run! Car was clean inside with amazing leather seats! Speakers & sound system is booming! Usb, auxiliary, Bluetooth all working! You can even take the top compartment off to turn this into a convertible jeep! I really loved it & highly recommend! I saw she has a BMW i8 too for rental when I went to pick the wrangler from the lot & next time I'm planning to rent that for my brother's reception too! I highly recommend Chaya & this is not any fake review. I'm from NYC & to rent, these kinda vehicles are priced 2x times here & majority of the time aren't even available in my city & they do not have Turo in NYC, so I had to travel 20 mins away from Manhattan to Jersey City, NJ to rent & find it! So it wasn't too far. Well worth it! Thank you Chaya!
Car is clean and came with a full tank. It's street parking (pick up and drop off) but it's easy to find a spot especially on steuben st. Andrew was very responsive and accommodating, he offered to help with the parking spot if we couldn't find one.
Olesya’s car is perfect for a weekend gateway and a smooth ride. Great host, easy communication and the rental process is brilliant. Would definitely recommend, Turo at its best!
Kash was awesome to work with and the car was fantastic. Exactly as expected and a very fair price. Thanks for a great first rental Kash!
Andrew's car was a great addition to our trip! We came from Manhattan and it was an easy trip across to Jersey City, as well as easy pick-up and drop-off. Would love to use this car again!
Deric is a great host and his process is seamless. He is a favorite in my book and if you're in the Jersey city area and need to carshare, Deric is your guy!
This car was great and the owners are very accommodating and flexible. We were stuck in really bad traffic because of a car accident and they were very understanding. Who knew it could take 8 hours to go from Boston the Jersey City!
Michael and his team were great - providing a seamless pick up & return rental process in a great Jeep and at good value! He was extremely responsive and accommodating, and I’d be eager to utilize their service again.
5 Star, however I was really concern when I was trying to shorten my reservation and I didn’t hear from him for days. He should let customers know he can’t be contacted Saturdays due to religious reasons. In all fairness, we booked the reservation for longer period of time and I understand it might seem as an inconvenience to change dates last minute. One thing I would suggest is to always have someone available to guests, no matter what day of the week it is, someone approving change requests. Also, they washed the car really poorly before I picked it up, this issue should not be reflected on the star rating because I believe we all can have bad service even at the best dealership once in a while. Unfortunately that was the day for us but no problem. Other than that, he was very polite and and courteous. He made sure the registration was up to date, he said the manager checked the full condition of the vehicle before we picked it up, the car was reliable and all we needed for this trip. Thank you! I look forward for to book our next reservation with Mordechai.
My experience renting vehicle with van was the best I’ve had by far, host was very helpful and responsive. Van made it extremely easy when picking up vehicle, I left a item in his vehicle and van made arrangements to have the item dropped off to me. No traditional car rental service would’ve ever done that I would definitely rent a vehicle from van again. Great experience!!!
Awesome host. Let me pick up at 6am to get to the beach to surf some of the best waves the east coast has seen in awhile. Car was brand new as stated and very clean. He is super responsive and fast. Funny enough my GF rented a Nissan from him and I was with her and we had another awesome experience that time. I didn't put two and two together. Would keep coming back to him for rentals!
Fantastic- owner came and met me and showed me how to operate the car. Probably one of my best rentals experiences ever!
Lauren replied to my messages very promptly and made sure to address my concerns
Great car to drive with and clear communication with Michael ! Very good price-quality value. I recommend !
Deric is the gold standard among Turo hosts. He is my absolute #1 "go to" host. First, all Deric's vehicles are spotless and well-maintained. They drive beautifully. Second, his vehicles are parked on driveways along a one-block cul de sac near the Jersey City waterfront. I never have to search for the pickup location, search for a parking space upon return, fight with traffic while parking, or trek miles into Jersey City's interior. Third, Deric checks drivers in and out remotely. I don't have to stand around waiting for a host to arrive or worry whether the host will remember to wear a mask. Fourth, his vehicles are fun to drive. They are mostly Honda and Hyundai (budget friendly!), but they all feel sporty and spacious. In summary, I laser in on Saddlewood Court whenever I need to rent from Turo. If Deric has something available, I grab it.
New clean car . Spacious which made our weekend road trip more tolerable . Flexible pick up time and easy communication. We were able to adjust our pick up and drop off times easily at the last minute which we really appreciate . Definitely would recommend renting from Michael
Amazing experience! SeanBoy was super accommodating with all of our annoying requests. The car was also ridiculously nice. It drove really well, was perfectly clean and and had tons of room. We were a group of 6 with 6 suitcases and it was cozy but worked totally fine, even when we were in the car for 3 hours in a ridiculous traffic jam. Could not recommend more highly. The fact that we rented the car for the same price as a generic rental car, and he accommodated an airport return, is just too good to be true!
We are Tesla enthusiasts and rented the car to explore for a day out of the city. The car was in a super convenient location that made for an easy pick up and charge when we finished up the day! The car was clean and charged upon arrival and communication leading up to and during our rental was spot on. Would highly recommend!
Roger was very accommodating. I came from Canada and did not know the traffic at the tunnels from New York to New Jersey was that crazy. When I tried to contact him, my phone wouldn't work. Roger was Understanding and made sure I was still able to get the car even though I was hours late picking up the rental. I would definitely rent from Roger again.
The whole process from start to finish was flawless. The contactless pick up process was very smooth, Jihua was easily reachable. The car was spotless, very clean and a very smooth drive. Would definitely look for their listings the next time I need a rental. Great experience!
Had some unfortunate damage to my car during my trip and Anthony helped me work through it and did it quickly and was understanding. He’s also extremely responsive and flexible. Was great when I needed to rent a car with <1hr notice.
Valentin was a great Turo host! The car was easy to locate and start the trip and drove like a dream. The process was smooth and seamless and I will definitely be renting from Valentin again.
Great rental! Thomas was helpful and the entire process was smooth. Definitely recommended.
Great trip! Check in was super easy. Deric responds in seconds and car was exceptionally clean. I’d rent this vehicle again!
Roger was great and easy to deal with. He responded quickly to all my messages. Pick of the car was simple and quick. The car was super fun to drive and was delivered to me charged and clean. Thank you Roger for providing such great service and experience. Would definitely rent again at some point.
Such a great experience! Chaya was a great host. I had no issues contacting her at anytime. The Jeep was in great condition and very clean. This was my first time using Turo and Chaya made the experience a wonderful one. I will be renting with Chaya for all my road trips this summer! Top notch service no complaints, Thanks again!
Very polite and friendly service. Car is clean and as described. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxury rental. Thank you Ameer!
Nice little SUV. Used this for a weekend trip. The 4 of us and our luggage fit comfortably! Exactly as described.
Seamless rental! Marion was out of town so it was all done remotely and it was very efficient. Car was very clean and drove great! Will definitely rent from Marion again!
Just PERFECT As always!🥰 Valentin is the best host and I will rent with him again. The service is amazing !
ChrisShawanda was very helpful and replied to me immediately. She is easy to work with and polite and patient. Very Good vehicle, Great condition and drives very smooth. I would definitely recommend using ChrisShawanda as your host. Awesome experience and I am definitely going through Turo for my car rental. Please give ChrisShawananda a try you will not be disappointed.
Manmit was very responsive throughout the duration of the trip. There were some issues with the trip prior to mine but Manmit didn’t let that impact my experience. The car was amazing and I would rent again.

Freedom Way is a short but sweet drive in Liberty State Park. Near the Liberty Science Center and Empty Sky Memorial, it takes you along the edge of the park for unparalleled views of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
When you’re ready to leave Jersey City behind, travel past the George Washington Bridge and take the Palisades Interstate Parkway up along the Hudson River for stunning views of the Palisades and Hudson Valley.
