Recent reviews
Car was beautiful, clean, very gas efficient, and very well worth the price. It does get a bit shaky when hit by the wind when going above 120km/h but for my family of 5, it fits 7 large luggages for our 3 week trip just fine. Carplay / AndroidAuto does require a usb cable though so if that is a concern, consider buying the wireless adapter.
Great car for the price. Pick-up was very simple. Took it around BC with 5 ppl total. At some points A/C would not fully work but it was fine 95% of the time. Takes up a lot of gas if driving above 110km/h, so I tried to keep it at 100km/h and it was much better.
Efficient and easy. Car was in good shape and price was good. Would definitely use again. This owner has multiple Turos so they have a system down.
Had an excellent experience renting from Zac. The Toyota Sienna was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as advertised. It was comfortable, reliable, and perfect for our trip. Zac was professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process. Pickup and drop-off were smooth, and everything went as planned. I would definitely rent from Zac again and highly recommend both him and the Sienna to anyone looking for a hassle-free Turo experience. Thanks again, Zac!
★★★★★ We had an excellent experience with this rental. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and exactly as described. It was perfect for our family road trip through Vancouver, Jasper, Banff, Yoho, and the Canadian Rockies. The host was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the trip. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient, and the vehicle performed flawlessly during our travels. We would definitely rent from this host again and highly recommend both the host and the vehicle to future guests. Thank you, Paul!
This car is the best, the gasoline is extraordinary save for the money, perfect for any trip
The car was kept very clean and in great condition, and the price was reasonable. The owner was very attentive and thoughtful. I would definitely rent from you again next time if needed.
The Sienna was great to drive and quite fine with gas, specially on long trips. The car was received clean enough but smelling a bit weird, like a humid smell. The host was great and let us extend the trip, we had a small issue on our way back and one of the employees was waiting for us to drop off the car. Good customer service.
Eric was communicative and responsive. His Nissan Quest is the perfect family car. Will definitely rent again. Thank you, Eric!
The car was clean and spacious (fits 2 car seats, 4 adults and luggages easily), the host was easy to reach and I would definitely rent this car again.
The car was really clean, pick up and drop off was easy. Host was easy to communicate with. It was also easy to pair my phone with the car. Would rent again.
Car rental OK. Good for Family. Most basic edition of basic models, but got us where we need to go.
Car was tidy and mechanically sound. Communication was clear. Smooth pickup and drop off. Would rent again.
Great communication. Very clean car and quick response time. Made it easy to rent from and made it convenient to meet up
Great Van. We toured BC for 3 weeks with our family of 5 adults. The van was spacious and in decent order all around. It’s an older vehicle so it has a few minor quirks, but overall good on fuel mileage, reliable and a great experience. Drive Nation was responsive and accommodating to work with and helped make our trip transitions seamless.
