Great host!! Great communication. Very easy process. So much better than renting through the big name car rental companies
I took a short weekend trip to Michigan and driving in this vehicle was beyond amazing! I’ve never had a vehicle that has different levels for different terrains/weather. Unfortunately, my last day in Michigan it started snowing and I’ve never felt safer driving through snow. It doesn’t burn much gas which was one of my major concerns seeing as how gas prices are high. Luckily, gas was about .50¢ cheaper in Michigan than it is here in Pgh. I believe this vehicle also has the option for 3rd row seating? I did not use it but if I’m not mistaken it does. 10/10 recommended!
Had to put our car in the shop for a few days… The Jeep was great and the whole rental process for easy. We will rent from Irvan again when we need a car.
Great communication. Vehicle was just as promised. Easy and I much prefer this route over traditional car rental process.
This was my first time using Turo and I must say I was beyond pleased. Justin and Susie offered me a great vehicle (their Lexus) and with the most step by step thorough instructions for beginners like myself. Without delay I would recommend securing a vehicle with Justin and Susie anytime you are in the Pittsburgh PA area. I am headed back to California and must say that renting through Turo (Justin & Susie) made my trip completely worry free! A blessing indeed!
The car was great, just what we needed to adventure around Pittsburgh for the week. It got good gas mileage and had nice amenities. Lissa was super responsive and helpful, and she even let us modify our trip twice. I will give one Turo-related tip and that is to make sure you leave yourself plenty of time if you are returning the vehicle to the airport prior to a flight. The app was not functioning properly for me at first and it caused me some stress around the timing of our flight, but ultimately it all worked out fine!
This was the best first time experience for us. We were informed of everything we needed to know. Very personable. I would recommend Rental Rae to everyone! I will return for my 50th Birthday Benz rental🥰 Thanks for everything
Courtney helped connect me with a vehicle within one hour of my having to change my Touro booking due to a problem with a previous rental. Courtney was incredibly responsive to all of my questions and concerns, and as a result I had an excellent trip. I would highly recommend booking with Courtney. Thank you!
Loved the car - great visibility and handled well on Pittsburgh’s hills! Lissa was very helpful; would rent this car again.
Fantastic vehicle fantastic host the vehicle was spotless and using this app three or four times prior, this was by far my best experience can’t wait to contact them again next time I need a rental!
Ride was great. Instructions were a bit confusing at first because we never been in the area and contactless pick up was different from all of our other Turo experience with rentals. However, I liked that the car was very clean, smell great and we got lots of compliments for the Jeep from a lot of locals in Steubenville. We even got gifted a duck. Apparently it’s a jeep owner tradition to give a duck to another jeep owner when you see one so Randy we passed it on to you.
The Youngs were perfect hosts. They were very accommodating. I had to book last minute and they were there to help. What a blessing. I would definitely book again with them when I'm in Pittsburgh. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🏽
Rented Knowledges Bright Red VW Tiguan for a wknd biz tripB to Charleston WV. I was veryVC impressed with how far VW's have come since I was a teen.. Wow. Loaded up, rides decently, fast pick up even on econ mode which I kept it on entire trip. Great gas milage. Looks good too.
Robert was great to work with and the Jeep is nice. Even though the Compass is a mid sized SUV it's huge! So much room. I could had packed triple the amt of stuff for my trip. Lol Gas milage was very good as well. Rides nice and very solid!
Everything about this rental was perfect… Bhanu was great to work with, easy pickup and return, very clean car, it all went very smoothly. I definitely would rent from Bhanu again!
Very nice vehicle it fit myself plus my 6 family members comfortably plus all of our luggage for a 6 day trip. Stephanie was so nice and accommodating 5/5 stars
Fantastic car rental! Car was super clean and very reliable. Delaney was awesome! Car was delivered right to our location and she made it very easy to return. Great communications and customer service. I would definitely rent again!
Had a great time! Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll were very accommodating with quick response times to any questions I had during my visit. The rental was just what my family needed to see the surrounding city while trotting through the hills. Just wish I had more time to put the top down and explore since it was a business trip. I'll definitely use them again if I'm in the area, and would recommend to anyone for a satisfactory experience.
Irvan was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive. The car was great! Super clean and just what we needed for our Pittsburgh trip. If we ever come back, I’d definitely look to rent from Irvan again!!
Justin and Susie were great! East communication and directions for pick up and drop off. Had all the details in hand before the trip started so there would be no scrambling. Would definitely use their jeep again! Clean and perfect for our hockey trip. Plenty of room for bags and sticks. They were extremely nice during all communication. Thanks!!
Very new Jeep in perfect condition, still has factory scent which is pleasant. The owner of the Jeep is amazing and very nice to rent from. Would totally recommend if you are thinking about buying a Jeep in the future.
Great vehicle and directions. Second time renting from this couple. Everything was perfect both times!
Great luxury SUV! Irvan's Benz was spotless and we felt like royalty for one day. Great customer service and everything was as advertised.
First let me say this car was clean and smelled amazing when I picked it up , very prompt and professional, dope sounds ever sicker ride, I loved cruising through the city with half of the roof off . Although it was a truck I only filled it up once for the 4 days I had it . This truck is sure to turn heads! I will be renting again for surely!
Rented from Irvan many times, and will continue to..... extremely professional and accommodating.
Vehicle was as described. Reliable and great features. Host was very attentive and great communication. Will rent on future.
Ivan was very accommodating and patient. I really appreciated him working with me on times and providing background details on the car. Would rent again!
Great host, easy communication, straightforward pick up and drop off, and the car was perfect. Would definitely rent again. Thank you Justin!
I absolutely enjoyed my trip and the host Jae was absolutely great. I will recommend her as a host anytime. I will definitely consider booking a trip with her again.
This vehicle was absolutely amazing, it was my first time renting off turo. Rae assisted through the process and his response time very fast! I will be renting from him again! THANKS RAE 🔥
Kevin was awesome! Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Made the trip simple coming from so far away! Car is loaded with amenities and very nice. Thanks Kevin!
The jeep was great! It was clean. The pick up/drop off was easy and convenient. Thank you Randy
Jonathan was an excellent host. Great price. Outstanding communication and the smoothest Turo pickup/dropoff experience ever. This car was super clean inside and out, and was perfect for getting around town. AWD height and suspension was great on PGH roads, especially brick streets. The smaller size and rear camera made parking dead-easy. The trunk is big enough to hold three carry-on size suitcases with room to spare, and the rear seat actually has enough headroom and legroom to fit an adult.
Mike is a perfect host. His vehicle is spacious and was comfortable for my group of clients
Amazing service and the Jeep was superb. Thank you for letting me hire this.
Such an easy seamless process. Robert was amazing. Quick to respond. Very helpful. Absolutely recommend 5stars.
The Tiguan was very clean and comfortable. Knowledge was prompt with communication and made pick up and drop off a breeze. Would highly recommend!
Our first time using Turo and Knowledge was a great person to work with! I would recommend to anyone!
This was my first Turo experience and Jae made it so smooth for me. On top of the vehicle being absolutely amazing she was a great host!! Checking on me to see if i needed anything and even flexible with my return. Would definitely recommend 😊
Perfect communication, very accommodating, pick up and drop off was super easy! The car was great and super clean!
GREAT CAR! Beautiful truck! Todd was a great host! Very good with showing me how to work the car! Would love to book again!
As for performance and reliability, this car was everything and more that i would expect from a BMW. The real surprise was how easy Steven made the pickup and dropoff process. It was literally like having a personal valet. Traveling with my elderly mother, that made a world of difference.
Justin is awesome to work with. He is very accommodating. His Jeep was in excellence condition and got my family and I threw some snow that hit the area. I needed a carseat and it was right in vehicle at pickup. Easy pickup and drop off. Whenever I fly back home to Pittsburgh I will always check to see if Justin has any available vehicles.
Great Ride! I'm the type of guy that loves to drive while listening to music and Bluetooth capabilities is a must! It was challenging to learn how to set up the Bluetooth at first, but Randy responded to my issue with the Bluetooth set up and it actually worked. After I got it all set up it was smooth! Randy also gave us two nice bottles of water when we checked in! And the Ride was clean!
We were able to reserve their car on a short notice. Chris and his wife dropped off the car on time and we dropped it off at the airport as planned. Made everything easy and communicated promptly.

For gorgeous views and sweeping curves on a less traveled road, zip east to Latrobe and head south to Ligonier, or go farther to climb the ridge at Laughlintown.
