Fantastic experience! The vehicle was very clean and everything in good working condition. Grateful to have had it for our family trip.
Tamilimban was a good host easy to contact with which made the pickup and drop off smooth. The car was great to drive and cheap on gas. Would rent again
Car was clean, charged. Host was very accomodating, tracked our flight and when arrived early, dropped car off early. Extended rental without charge when we were a bit late to return. Good instructional videos, answered questions, and wasn't stickler for charging, though we did, condition (within reason). Even got to chatting and turned out from same area we were from. Great first Turo experience, would rent again, highly recommend.
Everything was PERFECT! He was very kind and responsive, car was brand new, drove great. Easy communication - he actually met us curbside at the airport and made the transitions seamless. Would 1000% rent again - very professional and exactly what you hope for when using Turo. So much better than renting a car from the rental companies that cause so much headache. :) Thanks for making our trip the best!
Good. Would have wanted a newer SUV with less mileage than 279,000 kl. Otherwise everything was great.
Great value and a very reliable ride! Even though the car is a bit older, it runs great, is well-kept, and was super smooth to drive. The host was exceptionally friendly, responsive, and easy to coordinate with. Would gladly rent again!
We had a great experience renting from Ed. The car drove very nicely, and the entire process was smooth and easy from start to finish. Ed was very nice and easy to work with. The airport handoff and return at a gas station near the airport were both very convenient. We would definitely rent from Ed again and highly recommend him!
Excellent experience from start to finish! The car was clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The host was very friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. Pickup and return were smooth and convenient. I really appreciated the great service and would definitely rent from this host again. Highly recommended!
Mohit and Reshu were awesome. Delivered the car to me and picked it up. Super proffesional. Car was very well maintained. Absolute pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend them. Thank you again guys
Met me at the airport for pickup and drop off, fast, convenient, would definitely rent from him again when im in town.
My very first time using Turo and it was a great success!! Ade, the car’s owner made the experience seamless! The car was waiting exactly where he said it would be (he included a couple photos) and also was available via the app and texting with last minute questions. When I got to the car, the key box was very easy to access. He had even left a power charging cord for my phone with multiple adapters for different connections. The car drove very well and was great for getting around the city and out in some of the country to a pumpkin patch! When I returned the car we decided to meet near the airport and he was there right away for the car hand off but also offered the option of leaving the car in the parking lot where I picked it up. Meeting him in person was a great way to see his warm hospitality in person! I will definitely feel comfortable with this role of car rental again in the future!
Vehicle was great! Host dropped it off at hotel where we were staying. Everything was as advertised! Will rent again from Lalaine!
Great rental experience! The car was very clean and fairly priced. Divyam was friendly and made pick-up and drop-off super easy. He was also very flexible with timing and accommodated us whenever we needed. Would definitely recommend!
Great service, great communication and great car! Thanks for being flexible, easy to communicate with, and for the great service! Would love to rent from you again!
Amarjeet met us at arrivals at YEG and the drop off was at Jetset. His vehicle was great 😊 we didn’t encounter any issues or problems. We would definitely rent from him again.
I had a great experience renting a car here. The vehicle was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. The rental process was quick and easy, and the owner was friendly and helpful. I would definitely rent from them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a hassle-free car rental experience.
Great vehicle, excellent host. Responsive and considerate. Highly recommended.
