Chevrolet Corvette 2024

I recently rented a C8 Corvette Stingray through Turo, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The car itself was absolutely incredible—powerful, stylish, and an absolute joy to drive. It turned heads everywhere I went and delivered the kind of performance you'd expect from a true sports car. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the owner. They were extremely friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire rental process. They took the time to explain everything about the vehicle, were very accommodating, and made sure I felt comfortable before driving off. The car was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as advertised. If you're considering renting a C8 Stingray, I highly recommend this host. Great vehicle, great service, and an overall 5-star experience. I'll definitely be renting from them again in the future.

I highly recommend using Sof if you are looking to rent a Tesla on the central coast! He was so helpful through the entire booking and rental process. We really appreciated that he took the time to explain the car to us at pickup, as we had not driven a Tesla before. The car was clean and just as pictured in his listing. Thank you, Sof!

Porsche Macan 2025

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mead Green Autos Turo program. I’ve used Turo numerous times, but my other experiences pale in comparison. First, the pricing was very fair, especially for the class of car I was renting. A brand new 2025 Porsche Macan. I opted to use their “white glove” drop off and pick up offering. It was well worth the $70 or so dollars. My host was waiting for me outside of arrivals and I dropped the car off in the same location, which is across the median and away from the huge crowd of cars. The Macan was immaculate and so much fun to drive. I used to work at Porsche Cars North America but have never driven the Macan. LOVED IT! I also needed a car seat, which was also in pristine condition and high quality. Other car rental companies give me cheap, kind of gross car seats!! The hosts communication throughout the entire process was superb. He went out of his way to help me when I got turned around at the international terminal. Finally, I’m born and raised in Atlanta but live out of state now. I’ve been in and out of Hartsfield-Jackson probably 1000 times. Mead Green was by far one of my best experiences and made traveling with my 4 year old seamless. We got on and off the plane, walked straight in our out of the airport, never stepping foot in a parking deck, dealing with the skytrain to get to the big rental car agencies or having to wait on a ride share service. RENT WITH MEAD GREEN AUTOS!! You wont regret it. I will continue to book with them on my many trips to Atlanta.

Porsche Panamera 2023

I rented this Porsche as a birthday present for my husband for the day. While I am rating a 5 stars, I did have some feedback. The inside was clean and tidy, nice smooth run. The exterior though needed a wash. At the price we paid for approx 8 hours, it would have nice not to come to the car with bird dropping all over it. Seems like the car may have no moved in some time. Checkin was easy but checkout was a bit complicated as we wanted to return the rental later in the day. While it was confirmed with the host, we had to get Turo involved to get a hold of host to lock the car finally. Everyone was very professional. All in all it was a great experience just some hiccups along the way.

Porsche 911 2025

5 stars all day. Rented the convertible Porsche for our Vegas trip and it was an absolute dream. The car was kept at the airport for us, so pickup was seamless — no waiting, no rental counter, just keys and go. Spotless, perfectly maintained, and a total head-turner with the top down on the Strip. Communication from the host was quick and professional from start to finish. We highly recommend this beautiful ride. Will rent again next trip!

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2025

We rented the 15-passenger Mercedes Sprinter Van for a weekend trip from Seattle to Wenatchee for the Rufus Du Sol concerts at Gorge Amphitheatre (Jun.5-7), and it was absolutely perfect. With a group of 15 friends traveling together, comfort and reliability were a huge priority, and this van exceeded all expectations. The Sprinter was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable for the drive. There was plenty of room for everyone and our belongings, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The vehicle drove smoothly, had excellent fuel efficiency for its size, and made the entire experience feel more like a luxury road trip than a rental. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the communication throughout the rental process was outstanding. Having everyone travel together added so much to the weekend, and the Sprinter became part of the experience itself. Between the winery stop, the concerts, and all the memories made along the way, this rental helped make an unforgettable weekend even better. Highly recommend to anyone planning a group trip, concert weekend, wedding shuttle, wine tour, or special event. We’ll definitely be renting again! 10/10 experience. Thank you for helping make our Rufus Du Sol weekend one to remember! 🎶🚐✨

The host was beyond exceptional. From the timely communication to the constant reassurance making sure everything was up to par. It was greatly appreciated! My son was happy that he was able to have this vehicle for prom. The price was affordable and the host was very friendly and helpful with clear instructions ensuring that I comprehend its use and that I am comfortable enough to drive. Also, when dropping off, he was very understanding and flexible. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you for such a smooth and great experience!

Tesla Cybertruck 2024

I rented this Tesla Cybertruck for a long weekend trip through Arizona, and it was hands-down one of the best car rental experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I booked, everything felt premium and effortless. The Cybertruck itself is a total showstopper. It turns heads everywhere you go—people were literally stopping us to ask questions and take photos. Driving it is an absolute thrill. The acceleration is insane (that instant torque never gets old), the ride is surprisingly smooth and comfortable, and the tech inside is next-level. The massive screen, Autopilot, and all the unique features made every drive feel like the future. It had plenty of space for luggage, groceries, and even some adventure gear. It was also spotlessly clean, fully charged, and in pristine condition when I picked it up. What really made this rental special was the host. This guy is exceptional—he truly cares about his guests and goes the extra mile in every way. His communication was prompt, friendly, and super helpful from the first message. He provided detailed instructions, tips for getting the most out of the truck, and even left a welcome package with snacks, water, and a nice note. When I had a small question about one of the features, he responded instantly. The pickup and drop-off process was seamless and flexible, and you can tell he takes real pride in his vehicle. It’s clear he wants every renter to have an unforgettable experience, and that level of care really shows. If you’re thinking about renting a Cybertruck, stop thinking and just do it—especially with this host. You won’t regret it. This is how car rentals should be done. 10/10 would rent again in a heartbeat! Thank you again for an amazing time!
