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.

This was our first time renting a car through Turo, and we had a great experience. Everything was very well organized, and the car was exceptionally clean. We had requested a child car seat, and it was provided, which made our trip much easier and more comfortable. At first, we thought finding the car at the airport might be challenging, but the entire process was smooth and straightforward. We followed the app's instructions, and everything went exactly as expected. Amir and his team were very responsive and quickly answered any questions we had throughout the trip. Returning the car was just as easy. We dropped it off in the parking lot without any delays or complications.

Fantastic host Zing. Fast and Adaptive. Car was good for road trip with plenty of luggage space. Highly recommended. Thanks Zing.
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!
Great car, perfect for families that overpack! Easily fit 2 ski bags, 2 large suitcases and extras. Ran great, was a fantastic price. Quic communication, zero issues. Will absolutely rent again!
