Car rental alternatives inMillbrae, CA

TLDR: For anyone who wants an analogue driving experience, I cannot recommend this car enough. Don’t know what that means? Think the opposite of Teslas (I think they’re a great car but not my thing when I really want to drive somewhere scenic).  This is my second time renting Kent’s GTS so this is a long time coming: Well I just might be addicted and Porsche may as well be a drug kingpin. Kent is my version of a Porsche dealer(ship). After a serious weekend of seat time, Kent’s GTS was just as exciting to drive and enjoy the scenery. Some people don’t think the boxster is as cool or as “porsche” as the 911… but I think those same people may not have driven this car. This car fits like a European suit,, has mid-engine grip, pure Porsche DNA, and absolutely screams like we reached peak petrol engine symphony in 2015 (we have). Dropping the top = symphony amplified.  I’ve also rented the 718 Boxster and while it may be newer, it does not have that flat-6. I drove this car over two days and had no less than 7 people came up to compliment the car (I got a wine store recommendation with one and somehow talked politics with another). Did I mention that I rented this car in Covid when I was looking to get off the beaten path and stay away from people? I literally had the same kid absolutely scream at me when I passed  him not once, but twice (upon my return). His crazy shriek would be burned into my memory if it weren’t for that flat-6. The only thing that can exceed that crazy kid’s scream would be the absolute symphony coming from the flat-6 courtesy out of the Sport exhaust.  The color combo on the GTS just looks so good in-person which would explain the attention. It was amusing to see the number of neck turns just driving quietly around town. My hat goes off to Kent on how he spec’d it. It is a little boy-racer and the color-combo is pretty common for Porsche, but there is a reason: it just looks good. He keeps it fresh and the options (turbo) wheels are money (literally rolling money that I don’t recommend scraping).  Lastly, I’ll just mention that this car has the heated,18 way adjustable seats. This car will display supreme confidence when taking it on a winding road and/or jettison you in comfort as you rack up the miles. The heated seats mean you can keep the top down longer and just enjoy what has to be one of the single best weekend cars that I can think of. I cannot thank Kent enough and all I can say is: if you read this far, then you probably know you’re in for a good time. Unless, I get my own I'll be back for more! Bonus Points to Kent for: Keeping the car looking really fresh, clean, and maintained a year later Making pick-up and drop off really easy.  Responding quickly. Always setting the trip odometer to zero & deleting old phone devices. Making sure the vehicle doc is organized and where it should.

Amazing car very fun to drive and great host !!

Kent is super responsive and maintains a nice car!

Super easy and quick to respond..EXTREMELY CLEAN ..will definitely be renting again soon.

Fun, easy and great service! Would totally rent again. Great experience!

A superb car with a generous mileage allowance. Kent was attentive and quick to respond to any messages.

Michael was great, very accommodating, quick to respond, and had the car clean and ready to go. Thanks again Michael 😀

Awesome host , Car is always super clean and looking really nice, thank you kwok

Joseph was the absolute best! He was more than accommodating and incredibly flexible with my uncertain schedule and last minute changes. A++ rental experience and a flawless car, very clean and disinfected at pick up. Will seek to rent from Joseph again in the future, without hesitation.

What a unique, wonderful little car. If you are taller than 6' it may be too cramped, but if not, and you don't mind sitting very upright all the time, its pretty damn fun on twisty roads. The exhaust notes are a blast and the styling is even better looking in person.

Surprisingly zippy car, fun to drive and super easy to park. Michael is a pro, very communicative, the car was clean, no-touch handoff. Had a great time!

Excellent weekend cruiser with the top down. Well maintained vehicle would rent again.

Frank was very professional, detailed and timely. He has a beautiful Porsche 911 Carrera which made my Valentine’s Day driving tour. I recommend the cleaning and unlimited miles for a hassle free experience. Over 10/10 couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great car! Kent was very nice and helpful

Excellent driving experience. Car was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend.

First time to rent a car from Turo. Feed comfortable and convenient to rent a car by this app. Cheap to rent a mustang over here and enjoy a lot. The speed and the power is strong.

Awesome car and good communication from the host.

Beautiful car in immaculate condition. Ken was very responsive

This car is in amazing! Had a lot of fun driving around Bay Area.

Impeccable car and an extreme joy to drive. Would do again.

Very grateful to experience this amazing car. Thanks Kent!

Smooth ride! The check in and checkout was seamless.

This was a very fun vehicle to drive loved it

Great xar, excellent communication

This was my first time renting through Turo and can’t say enough great things about it! Kent was super responsive and easy going. Checkin/checkout was super smooth. The car was awesome to take out for a day trip and would definitely rent it again.

Great rental. Car was super clean and pickup instructions were clear and contactless. No hassles at all. Thanks!

Kent is a great host for this car. I enjoyed my 2 day rental. Driving the Alfa Romeo 4C reminds me of why I love to drive. My wife enjoyed it too which was a nice surprise. She hopes Kent will have it available to rent to me through Turo in the future, if only so I don’t go out and buy a 4C of my own.

Superfun car to drive, it was super clean and in great condition! Kent was very quick and easy to deal with too, will rent again!

Kent’s Porsche was beautifully maintained and amazing to drive. Highly recommended!

This is a great ride. I really enjoyed driving it for the day. Check in and check out were very easy and contactless.

Great car, really convenient, punctual service from Kent — would recommend to anyone looking to rent a car!

Albert was amazing is super accommodating! His car was perfect for my destination-less cruise along the PCH. Would love to rent again soon!

Blue Magic lived up to it’s name. Kent has maintained the convertible in near factory fresh condition. We used the car to add some flair to our small wedding, and it really fit in with style. Kent was great to coordinate with, and my (now) wife wants to rent the car again for another drive down the coast with the top down and engine purring.

Kwok Kin's S5 is a great car. I will definitely be renting from him again.

Car drove amazing ! Had a good time in it. Would recommend it be rented anytime !

Kent was easy and simple to deal with. The pick up went smooth. Kent gave quick rundown of the car and how to drop off the car when returning which also went smooth. I had forgot my phone holder after checking out and Kent was kind enough to promptly help me retrieve it. As for the car, it was clean and had no issues trough out the trip, apart from that its a fun little punchy car to drive, it legit feels like a powerful go kart for road! Would definitely rent it again.

Definitely the best spent money this month! Ken keeps the car in excellent condition and pickup / drop is simple.

Amazing car - great pickup/drop off - will be renting again. Thank you!!

Car was a dream. Very well maintained and a terrific ride. Would rent again in a heartbeat!

This is the most unique car on Turo or otherwise, props to Kent for both bringing this to the Turo scene and for being an excellent, understanding, and accommodating host. He didn’t blink an eye with a last minute booking and is a car guy through and through. Do: Rent this, do it now. If you actually like driving, there are only a handful of similar cars on the market (2020) and they’re never going to make any more, or anything like it. Also, do your homework before dropping into the carbon fiber tub. (Watch the Savageeese review of the 4c on YT) Don’t: Pass on the opportunity, there aren’t a lot of 4C’s rented. Don’t think this is like anything else. And certainly don’t drive it like a baby. Keep it in the mid range rpm and the DCT and engine will reward you. Don’t expect this to be like anything else, and minimize highway and traffic time to the fullest extent possible. Can’t wait to get back in!

The car was amazing. All the experience was great! Very helpful host and very kind. Thank you

Great car clean fun had a great time.

Kent's Porsche Boxer is a rare treat. One or the last of the high displacement 981s with the classic flat six, it's all you want in a performance oriented convertible. The car is in great condition and pick up/drop off via the Turo app is a great convenience.

Amazing trip. Amazing car and had a great trip with S5 to Lake Tahoe. Very safe with strong horsepower. Will definitely rent with this car again.

I scheduled the porsche as a Christmas gift to myself and did I have fun? Definitely! The owner takes care of the car and it shows, he also responds to my questions fairly quickly and I appreciated a lot. Will definitely schedule again in the future.

Really great experience and very easy communication and pick up. The check in and check out was very convenient. The car itself was such a pleasure to drive around the bay. Overall the drive was fun. My one comment is that I did always have to watch the g force or rpm on the dash to make sure I wasn’t going over the limits set (as per the rules). So you constantly have to make sure you weren’t violating the rules as to pay the fees! But besides that, the drive was one to remember!! Thanks!

Did I mentioned I love cooper's? Thank u chip for letting me used the car again!❤

Hands down my favorite car I’ve driven to date. I’ve driven cars from M5, 911s, Boxsters, M3s, AMG GTR, Ferrari 360, but none feel as special as this 4C Spider. The noise, the steering feel, the seating position, the carbon tub, the chassis dynamics.. it’s a tough car to get the hang of but once you learn how to tame the beast it will reward you in spades. Kent is a great host - communicative, flexible, hospitable, and friendly. Will definitely rent from him again - maybe even this car since I loved it so much.

Great car. Very clean and well maintained. Convenient pick up. Kent responds very quickly. Two thumbs up. 👍🏼

Best host of 2020! Everything from start to finish was perfect. Beautiful ride and amazing performance! Everything was clean and I didn’t have to worry. Will definitely be booking again in the future! Thanks again 😁

The car is super clean and amazing. Love that it’s convertible. Albert is organized, responsive, super friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend renting this car from him or any other cars from Albert!

Great car, great service: Frank was easy to get in touch with, responded quickly, and the car was a lot of fun to drive!

Amazing car. Kent was extremely responsive. Car was very clean and well-maintained.

Fun car to drive, very sporty yet comfortable.

The car is fantastic and sounds much better than modern 911s. Such a fun to drive - take it on winding roads and it never fails to put a smile on your face.

Enjoyed this car a lot and was very easy and contactless when I picked it up. The car was very clean and smelt amazing lol

Chuck was a very nice host. Easy to pick up and return the car. Highly recommended!

Beautiful car and an amazing experience. Highly recommend.

Kent is an awesome TURO car / trip host & small fleet owner. The car was just as advertised - clean, cool & fun to drive. I can easily see why his cars are so popular. This was my first time using TURO & meeting Kent. Definitely can't wait to rent more cars from him & use the TURO platform even more soon. This rare opportunity to drive a fast convertible made my birthday a very memorable experience. The only hard part was reluctantly handing the keys back over at the end of the trip because I didn't want to return the cool Jag yet. LOL Thank you... ! :)

The car was a lot of fun and dealing with Kwok was very easy. Great value for money. I would definitely repeat. Be sure to take pictures before the trip, the car has a few very minor scratches on the rims and on the sides. Also the volume goes to 11 at ignition and switches to radio even if you leave it on Bluetooth. Most importantly if you want to take this car to race or crank up the speed this is not the car for you. The car is tracked by OBD2 tracker the system will alert the owner and record all high RPM/G-Force acceleration, Hard Breaking and turning, etc G-force> +-0.5 or RPM > 5000 will be recorded and penalize. [Penalty $500] other than that the car is cool.

A fantastic drivers car! Kent was a great host!

Kent is great - and the ACCORD is the perfect car for comfort, convenience and safety. All the features and extras - great host, great ride!

Chucks car was available to me at the last minute when another car rented from turo broke down (turo didn’t help at all btw total nightmare!) so lucky to find this car and at a great deal!

A truly special car. Clean as advertised and no issues whatsoever.

Kwok was great to deal with and the Porsche is just awesome. On another level. It seems he's gone through great lengths to make sure the vehicle is in pristine condition as it should be, and drives like a dream. Don't hesitate for a second. Kwok was punctual, accommodating, communicative, and made sure you had a great time. Thx again.

Never expected the convertible to be that fun. Really enjoyed my trip. Albert is a very responsible and friendly person. Responded to all my messages within 2 mins every single time. Thanks brother

Great car! Good communication!

Dan was an amazing host. From easy communication, to smooth pick and drop off, you will not regret working with Dan. Best rental host ever. Thanks Dan! Hope to work with you again in the best figure.

What a great experience, can not recommend him enough! Dan made our trip easy and convenient and the cars were in perfect condition.

It was very easy to rent with Kent. As for the car, it is awesome! I had a blast going through Santa Cruz Mountains and I tested the car on my regular commute, too. Interestingly, the car sounds better in 5-th gear than 6-th at constant highway speeds, but that is OK with me ;-). I stopped at a dealership and test drove a 718 Cayman S with a stick - it was more reserved and comfortable, but it didn't feel faster and when I went back to the Alfa, it was definitely more fun. I also noticed people taking picture of the car.

Car was super clean. I made a mistake with my rental time and had to change, Kent was extremely accommodating to make a change.

Really great car. Great communication and super easy process. Excellent experience. Highly recommended. I will definitely rent from Kent again.

I had an amazing trip in this slingshot if you haven’t rented one or driven one this is the one hands down best one I driven 👍🏾💞

Car is awesome, just remember no Bluetooth, so bring a USB port!! We took up to Napa for a beautiful day trip and picnic!! Would rent same car again!!

Albert is a great host. This was my first time renting through TURO and he walked me to it. He txted me to check if everything is ok. Great car unlimited miles....will I rent again with Albert......definitely....and I will recommend him to my friends....thanks again Albert

Fantastic in every way. Kent was super easy abs cool to deal with. Explained some things to me about the car. Abs the car was fantastic !!

Was everything awesome! Thank you Albert !

Great host exceptional service

Rented Kent's 911 cabrio for a short trip down the coast with my son. The car was perfect in every sense. It drives perfectly and with the soft top down it gets even better. Very good communication and service provided by Kent whom I met in person on pick up. Thanks for the smile factor, Kent.

I had an issue with another car and had to book last minute. Kent responded quickly and was very accommodating. Pickup was easy and the car was very clean. Kent also responded almost immediately to any questions or concerns I had during the trip. If you're looking to rent the 4C you had better know what you're signing up for, because this car isn't for the faint of heart. The car is low to the ground, difficult to climb(or rather fall) into, and hard to see out of. The ride quality is extremely rigid, the exhaust and road noise are deafening, and the transmission jerks you around at low speeds. The unassisted steering needs to be wrestled at low speeds and is so twitchy on the highway that it demands your attention at all times. Despite all this, if you take the car to a tight, winding road all of it's faults become it's strengths. The small size and light weight allow it to get around corners with ease. The stiff suspension keeps the car planted during spirited driving. The steering is natural, communicative, and allows you to change direction precisely and immediately. When driven hard, the transmission executes upshifts quickly and rev matches downshifts. The exhaust note is the perfect soundtrack to accompany a great drive. The 4C is an excellent sports car and Kent is an excellent host. If you want to enjoy a very pure driving experience and want something more exotic than a miata, you can't beat this car

This car so cool and I’m so enjoyed with it. The host so nice and friendly. I will rent it again if I have more trip at Bay Area again. Thanks Kent so much and happy new Year broz
