Porsche Macan 2020

I can’t say enough good things about this experience. The Porsche Macan was absolutely fantastic—beautiful, exceptionally well kept, and a pleasure to drive. It made our time in Toronto that much better. But what really made this rental stand out was Bardia. He is hands down the best Turo host I’ve ever worked with. The entire experience was effortless from beginning to end. He delivered the Macan directly to the Fairmont Royal York and picked it up there as well, which made everything incredibly convenient. Our plans changed and we needed to return the car earlier than originally scheduled. Bardia responded immediately, confirmed the change, and accommodated us without any hassle whatsoever. That level of responsiveness and flexibility is exactly what you hope for from a great host. Fantastic car, exceptional service, great communication, and a genuinely outstanding host. I travel to Toronto regularly, and I won’t hesitate to rent from Bardia again. In fact, he’ll be the first person I look for every time I’m back in the city. Five stars without question. Highly, highly recommended.

Great experience! The car was brand new, clean, and very comfortable to drive. The owner was very easy to contact and responded quickly whenever I had a question. The price was also very reasonable, especially for the quality of the car. The location was super convenient as well, right in downtown GTA, which made pickup and drop-off very easy.

This was simply an amazing experience from start to finish. Kyle is an exquisite host. He met me perfectly on time, and showed me around the car. Functions, controls, features - all of it. He made sure I was fully comfortable before I drove off. He also stayed in touch with me to make sure everything was fine since I was crossing the Canada-US border. The car was simply divine. What a driving machine! Great sound, great handling and the convertible aspect made it the best weekend I’ve had in a long time. Winding roads, pocket rocket at your disposal, and great stopping power for traffic jams. I can’t wait to rent this car again! Thank you again Kyle!
