Recent reviews
The car was exactly as described, super spacious so it was lovely with the luggage and baby to have all this room. Not the most economical car in terms of gas usage but it’s a very big SUV and the consumption is very reasonable for the size of the car. The pick up was very easy, the host communicated very well throughout the process and the car was clean when we got it. Return process was simple as well. The car is well maintained and reliable, and for the price I think it’d be hard to beat! It’s nice to drive and has great options/ features to assist driving for anyone who might need the extra help when driving a new car. I’d recommend renting this Pathfinder to anyone, and would rent this car again if I travel to Halifax in the future.
First time using Turo and I was initially a little apprehensive as it was new to me. The overall rental process was easy and dealing with Nilesh was fantastic. We rented a Pathfinder from Nilesh for our family as it was difficult to find anything with enough seating capacity from the other legacy rental outlets. It was exactly as advertised and rental rates were very affordable. I will definately be renting from Nilesh if we ever return to Halifax
This was my first time using Turo for a rental and Nilesh made my experience incredibly smooth and care free. His communication was excellent which I really appreciated. The car was clean and worked wonderfully for our trip. Great SUV for driving around Nova Scotia. I highly recommend renting with Nilesh, you don't regret it.
The car was as mentioned and in good condition. Good for a small family road trip
The car was perfect for our PEI road trip and Xu was a great host! 10/10 would rent again!
The rental went smooth and was very straight forward. The car was beautiful and we had a great time using it on our trip. Has zero issues while on our drives and drop off and pickup were a breeze. 100% would recommend renting if you plan to drive in and around Halifax! Thanks!
Easy and smooth pick up/drop off process and an overall wonderful experience. Exactly what we needed for our trip, would rent again!
Great rental. Navneet made pick up and drop off at the airport extremely easy. The car was clean and in great shape. I’d definitely rent again!
The car was clean and ran smoothly. Mike was excellent at communicating throughout the rental process. I would highly recommend renting from him!
Smooth and seamless. Easier than the car rental process. Wonderful communication. Professional!
Pick up location was convenient and car was fantastic for a road trip around NS. Would definitely recommend!
Such a great experience! We had flight delays and changes of plans and the host was so accommodating through it all. The car is very spacious which was such a nice surprise! It drives smoothly and seems to be excellent on gas. Couldn’t recommend this rental more.
It was good experience. My first Turo rent a car. He is such a gentle man. On time. Kept informed Will rent from him in future.
Awesome vehicle, would definitely use this vehicle again, Richard was great to deal with and very punctual and communicated very will.
Mercari fleet was great to deal with and very fast to respond on any questions I had, will definitely rent through them again on my next trip home. Car was very clean and tidy and parked very close so no need to walk around searching, that was a plus. A far superior experience than having to deal with her traditional rental company
