This was the first time I used Turo and I loved the simplicity of paying for the rental, the best low cost, clean, well-maintained and easily found the vehicle by using the Turo app along with being able to text the owner if needed. I was able to pick the type of vehicle near me to rent. The vehicle was simple, hassle free to pick up and return. I met the host and they were professional, friendly and I will only use Turo when renting again. Love this concept and the price!

Just wrapped up an amazing experience renting this Range Rover and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. The vehicle was absolutely spotless, drove like a dream, and turned heads everywhere we went. Smooth ride, luxury feel, and incredibly comfortable whether cruising around town or taking longer trips. The entire rental process was easy, professional, and stress-free from start to finish. You can tell the owner really takes pride in keeping the vehicle in top condition. Without question, I’ll definitely be renting this Range Rover again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxury SUV experience done the right way at a affordable price.

Abe was an absolutely great host. As a first time traveler who made some reservation stumbles, he worked with me to accommodate any changes with me, with a friendly attitude. I would gladly rent from them again. Love that things felt personal versus at typical rental companies.

Tesla Model Y 2023

This was easily one of the best rental experiences I have ever had. The red Tesla Model Y with the beautiful white interior was absolutely stunning, spotless, fresh, comfortable, and a joy to drive. The car felt premium in every way, and having Full Self-Driving included at no extra cost made the experience even more special. For the price, this is an incredible value and honestly much better than my usual Avis, Enterprise, or other traditional rental bookings. Jay and Kam were outstanding hosts. They delivered the car before the scheduled time, made the pickup and return completely smooth, and took the time to explain everything about the car in detail. They are true Tesla enthusiasts and former Tesla employees, and their knowledge really shows. As first-time users of Tesla’s self-driving features, their guidance made us feel comfortable, confident, and able to enjoy the car to the fullest. One thing that really stood out was the thoughtful refreshments they provided for us. That small gesture made a big difference and immediately showed how much they care about their guests. I have never experienced that level of hospitality with any other rental before. It felt less like a regular car rental and more like a carefully prepared premium experience. Communication was excellent throughout the trip. They were friendly, responsive, and available anytime we had a question. The entire experience was stress-free from start to finish, and the car was perfect for enjoying Seattle and the surrounding areas. Amazing car, great price, and truly super helpful hosts. I would definitely rent from them again in the future and highly recommend this Tesla to anyone looking for the best Turo experience in Seattle. 5/5!

We come to Oahu quite a bit, and this rental worked out perfectly for our family. We were moving our daughter out of her dorm for the summer, so having a comfortable SUV with plenty of storage space in the back made a huge difference. It handled luggage, boxes, and beach gear easily without everyone feeling cramped. The vehicle itself was clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and very easy to drive around the island. Whether we were running errands in town or spending the day exploring different parts of Oahu, it was reliable and enjoyable the entire trip. Compared to the major rental companies where even tiny cars can cost a fortune in Hawaii, this was a much better value. We’ve also used Hui before, but if you’re out exploring for more than a couple hours, the cost adds up fast. Having this vehicle available the whole trip gave us way more flexibility and convenience without the stress. Would absolutely rent again next time we’re on the island. Highly recommend!

Nick was an amazing host from start to finish. The Porsche Macan was absolutely EPIC — powerful, sleek, clean, smooth, and every bit of the luxury experience I was hoping for. I originally rented it for work, but I enjoyed it so much that I extended the trip for pleasure, and my family loved every second of it too. Nick’s customer service was top-tier. He was accommodating with my last-minute changes, easy to communicate with, and made the entire rental process feel effortless. The vehicle definitely turns heads, but the overall experience with Nick is what really made it stand out. I’d absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a luxury ride with a professional, reliable host.

First time using Turo and the experience was perfect! Great car, very clean. Couldn't beat the price especially with it being a newer model car and also my previous reservation canceled on me in less than 24hrs. Blessed to have experienced this opportunity. Will rent again in the future if need be. Juan was very professional, welcoming and informative. 10/10.

Toyota RAV4 2016

Jose was an absolutely amazing host. We had an issue with the lockbox during pickup which ended up costing me an extra Uber ride plus Turo increased the price $45 on top of the original reservation price when it was rebooked which was pretty frustrating but Jose went WAY above and beyond to get everything situated after Turo cancelled the reservation and left me stranded in an unfamiliar state with no transportation. He was very friendly, communicated prompt and went out of his way to help me correct the issue. Truly grateful for his help. If I'm ever in Warrick again, I'd look to rent from him without hesitation.

Ford Bronco Sport 2025

Prices were decent, especially for the size and year of the vehicle. Pick up and drop off were pretty simple and straightforward. Personally not the type of car I would go for, but due to my last sketchy host canceling on me hours before my trip because I covered my address in the license confirmation picture (which Turo allows you to do) that car was the greatest savior I have ever had! The host was awesome! He vacuumed and hosed the car down on the spot for me even though he was really busy. He even listened to me ranting about my trip lol and I appreciate that type of service. I'll definitely utilize them again if I ever get the chance.

Igor was fantastic, the car was a complete joy to drive and Igor has gone out of his was to add some nice touches, a cooler with drinks and ice when you pick up the vehicle, an umbrella, and a charging power cord. The car was well beyond clean and tidy, by far the best Turo I've ever rented. The price was reasonable and was able to extend my reservation a few times was supposed to have for 2-3 days ended up with 7-8. I would highly recommend this vehicle and this host 5 out 5 stars top notch.

Tesla Model Y 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with my experience renting this Tesla Model Y! The vehicle was spotless, perfectly maintained, and performed flawlessly throughout our entire trip. The Full Self-Driving technology was absolutely incredible. We drove along the California coast, through busy congested city traffic, active construction zones, and crowded tourist areas, and the system handled everything with impressive confidence and smoothness. It made long drives far more relaxing and enjoyable than I ever expected. The car itself was comfortable, efficient, and a pleasure to drive. Everything worked exactly as it should, and the vehicle was delivered in excellent condition. On top of that, the host provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. Communication was prompt, professional, and helpful throughout the rental process. If you’re considering renting a Tesla Model Y with Full Self-Driving, don’t hesitate. This was one of the best rental experiences I’ve ever had, and I would gladly rent from this host again. Highly recommended!

Exploring Ottawa and Gatineau's top attractions from the airport

The National Capital Region offers an incredible variety of experiences, from world-class museums and government buildings to pristine parks and charming neighbourhoods. You can easily reach Parliament Hill, the Canadian Museum of History, and the vibrant ByWard Market, each offering unique insights into Canadian culture and history. Gatineau Park provides year-round outdoor recreation, while the Rideau Canal offers scenic waterfront drives. An SUV enhances your exploration with comfortable seating and excellent visibility, making it easy to navigate between attractions while enjoying panoramic views of the Ottawa River and surrounding landscapes.


Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa's political heart

Parliament Hill stands as Canada's most recognisable landmark, featuring stunning Gothic Revival architecture and offering guided tours of the nation's seat of government. The surrounding downtown core buzzes with activity, from the historic ByWard Market to the National Gallery of Canada. Parking is available in nearby structures, though spaces fill quickly during peak tourist seasons. The elevated driving position of an SUV provides excellent views of the parliamentary buildings and Ottawa River as you navigate the area's tree-lined streets, making your approach to this iconic destination even more memorable.


Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau

Located directly across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, this world-renowned museum houses Canada's largest collection of historical artifacts and offers breathtaking views of Parliament Hill from its windows. The museum's distinctive curved architecture makes it easily recognisable from the road. Ample parking is available on-site, and the facility is well-connected to major routes. The spacious interior and comfortable ride of your rental SUV ensures a pleasant journey as you cross between provinces to explore this cultural treasure.


Gatineau Park's natural wilderness and scenic drives

Just minutes from the airport, Gatineau Park encompasses over 360 square kilometres of pristine Canadian Shield landscape, featuring hiking trails, lakes, and scenic lookouts. The park offers numerous access points and well-maintained roads that wind through dense forests and past crystal-clear lakes. During autumn, the foliage creates spectacular displays of red, orange, and gold. Your rental SUV's higher ground clearance and all-weather capability make it ideal for exploring the park's various entrances and reaching popular destinations like Pink Lake and Mackenzie King Estate, where you can enjoy nature while staying comfortable and secure.


Rideau Canal and historic waterway exploration

This UNESCO World Heritage Site stretches through the heart of Ottawa, offering scenic drives along its banks and access to charming locks and historic sites. The canal transforms seasonally, serving as a waterway in summer and the world's largest skating rink in winter. Multiple parking areas provide easy access to walking paths and viewpoints. The comfortable cabin of your rental SUV ensures you stay warm during winter visits while providing excellent visibility for spotting wildlife and enjoying the peaceful waterside scenery year-round.


ByWard Market's historic shopping and dining district

This vibrant neighbourhood represents one of Canada's oldest and largest public markets, featuring cobblestone streets lined with boutiques, restaurants, and outdoor vendors. The area comes alive with festivals and events throughout the year, from summer patios to winter celebrations. While street parking can be challenging, several nearby parking structures accommodate visitors. The spacious interior and smooth ride of an SUV hire make it comfortable to transport purchases and navigate the bustling streets while exploring this essential Ottawa destination that perfectly blends history with modern urban energy.
