Recent reviews
We had a nice new hybrid SUV. There was no extra charge for a second driver. Pickup and drop-off were convenient and painless. Price was better than offered by rental companies. Only minor complaint was that we arrived early but weren't able to move up the pickup time.
Thank you Alex for the Escalade was clean and ready to go when I picked it up and everything went smoothly I really appreciate how easy you made the whole rental process I’ll definitely recommend you to friends and family I’ll be happy to rent from you again in future. Thanks again!
Excellent experience from start to finish. The car was very comfortable, clean, reliable, and a pleasure to drive. We liked it very much and had no issues at all during our trip, including crossing the U.S. border and driving in Washington and Oregon. Kash, host was helpful and the whole rental process was smooth and easy. We would definitely rent this car again and highly recommend it to others. Five stars!
The car was is great shape, it was the perfect car for our little vacation to Vancouver! The host was very responsive and very helpful. I messed up on my end when booking the reservation and forgot to add a car seat for my little one, but the hosts were very quick to help me get it sorted and get us a car seat within the hour of us landing! Would definitely recommend renting this vehicle, and I would rent again! Super easy pick up and drop off instructions as well!
Great car and an amazing host! The entire rental process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend renting from them!
Easy to deal with, almost new vehicles and generous kms. Overall good experience. only critiscism is of the car itself which has an overactive "take a break" alarm that makes long trips extremely frustrating/annoying and cannot be turned off/down. I found a workaround that saved my sanity but Hyundai really need to address this feature! But as Turo hosts these guys were great.
Paul is very professional and friendly. The whole rental process went very smoothly with good communications all the time. The car was clean and reliable. A great rental experience overall! Would highly recommend.
Great hire! Vehicle was amazing, clean and in good working order. Communication was was excellent and pickup location worked ok - it wasn't a residential area (was in a car sales auto mall type area) but was safe and easy enough at 1am 🌚. Would rent the same again.
Car was exactly as it said it was. In great shape and clean. Drop off and pick up was better than any other car rental companies. Very happy and will definitely use these guys again.
It's very nice and comfortable trip with your car. Also reasonable price and communications make me happy. I'm looking forward to see you again. Thank you.
I had a great experience renting a 2015 Kia Sorento through Winny. The car was solid, reliable, and drove well throughout my trip. Perfect car for a day trip with family. The entire rental process was smooth from start to finish. Winny was very prompt in responding to my questions, and both the pickup and return were quick and hassle-free. Overall, it was a straightforward and pleasant experience. I’d definitely recommend this host to anyone looking for a dependable rental.
Very reliable car and for a great price! Fuel efficient, very comfortable and easy to drive. The tech made it a more fun experience as well! 10/10
This by far is one of my favourite cars to drive especially in Vancouver with so many uphills, downhills and turns. My family and I loved how spacious, comfortable and safe it was to drive. The host Matt was absolutely awesome, so kind and is great at communicating with any questions or concerns. He and his car has definitely made this trip very smooth for us! I would recommend his car to anyone travelling here and I will definitely rent from him again!
We had a great experience renting the Jeep Grand Wagoneer for a week in Vancouver. The vehicle was very spacious, comfortable, clean, and perfect for our trip. The Mogestic Cars team was excellent throughout the entire rental—very responsive, professional, and always easy to reach. A special thank you to Amir for all his help and for making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommended, and I would definitely rent from Mogestic Cars again!
Viet was very accommodating, had a flight changed and he was able to accommodate my request to change the pick up time. Car is amazing and very clean. Pick up and Drop off went smoothly
Discovering Vancouver's highlights from Vancouver International Airport
Vancouver International Airport positions you perfectly to explore British Columbia's most captivating destinations. From the iconic Stanley Park with its scenic seawall to the charming streets of Richmond, countless adventures await your discovery. The nearby mountains of Whistler beckon with world-class skiing and outdoor recreation, while downtown Vancouver offers cultural attractions and waterfront dining. An SUV provides the comfort and versatility needed to navigate both urban environments and mountain highways, ensuring you experience every facet of this remarkable region with ease and style.
Stanley Park's natural splendour
Stanley Park stands as Vancouver's crown jewel, offering over 1,000 acres of pristine wilderness just minutes from the city centre. This urban oasis features the famous seawall, towering Douglas firs, and stunning views of English Bay. The park's winding roads and multiple parking areas make it easily accessible, though spaces fill quickly during peak seasons. Your rental SUV's elevated position provides excellent sightlines for spotting wildlife and taking in the panoramic vistas. The park's diverse terrain, from beaches to forest trails, showcases why Vancouver consistently ranks among the world's most liveable cities.
Whistler's mountain majesty
The scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway leads to Whistler, a world-renowned mountain resort that hosted events during the 2010 Winter Olympics. This alpine paradise offers year-round recreation, from skiing and snowboarding in winter to hiking and mountain biking during warmer months. The highway itself provides breathtaking views of Howe Sound and the Coast Mountains. Ample parking is available throughout Whistler Village, making it convenient to explore the pedestrian-friendly core filled with shops, restaurants, and accommodation options that cater to every taste and budget.
Richmond's cultural tapestry
Richmond offers an authentic taste of Asian culture without leaving North America, featuring some of the continent's finest Chinese cuisine and vibrant night markets. The city's flat terrain and well-planned road network make navigation straightforward, with plenty of parking available at major shopping centres and cultural attractions. Your rental SUV provides comfortable transportation between Richmond's diverse neighbourhoods, from the historic Steveston fishing village to the modern shopping districts. The area's proximity to Vancouver International Airport makes it an ideal first or last stop, offering a unique cultural immersion experience that reflects British Columbia's multicultural character.
Granville Island's artisan charm
Granville Island transforms an industrial peninsula into a vibrant cultural hub featuring the famous Public Market, artisan studios, and waterfront dining. The island's compact size makes it perfect for leisurely exploration, though parking can be challenging during weekends and holidays. Your elevated driving position helps navigate the busy market area and spot available parking spaces.

The Capilano Suspension Bridge offers an exhilarating walk above the Capilano River, surrounded by towering evergreens in North Vancouver. This iconic attraction features not only the famous suspension bridge but also treetop adventures and cliff walks that provide unique perspectives of the coastal rainforest. The facility offers convenient parking, though arriving early helps avoid crowds during peak tourist seasons. The winding roads leading to the bridge showcase North Vancouver's mountainous terrain, where your rental SUV's capabilities shine while navigating the hillside neighbourhoods that offer glimpses of the city and ocean below.
