We had a great experience renting this Toyota 4Runner. It was a strong, reliable vehicle that handled everything perfectly as we explored Kananaskis, Banff, and the surrounding areas. Communication with the host was excellent: quick, friendly, and reliable from start to finish. Everything was exactly as described, and the entire rental process was seamless. We would definitely rent from Musa again the next time we’re in the Calgary area. Highly recommend!

Great vehicle for a road trip. It comfortably fit 7 adults plus an infant car seat. It drove well, felt safe, and the gas mileage was reasonable for a full-size SUV. Pickup and drop-off were smooth, easy, and professional. Would definitely rent from them again.

First time using Turo. Wayne and his co- hosts were great and easy to communicate with and responsive. The car was great, only had 60k km on it and a great price. Many Canadians are traveling domestically and Calgary as a gateway to the Rockies is jammed. I saw prices for a basic car up to $300. The mileage given was enough as I drive to Edmonton and back. I found the app clunky, with things such as asking for flight number and then posting the wrong arrival time. It gets one a little paranoid with all the photos suggested and the airport pick up fee is not front and center but worthwhile as taking Uber to a location would add up similarly. There will be a walk to the short term parking to pick up, and the Calgary Airport does not ennumerate their spots well so took ten minutes to find the car. Also you do have to pay the parking cost which is refunded. I would rent this car again if I'm Calgary.

Rob and his wife are so thoughtful and helpful. Best rental ever in my life. During arrival and departure for pick up and drop off, they made everything so smooth with sharing their knowledge of the airport, helpful ways to make our trip smooth and treated us with the highest level of service.

Clean, well running car, perfect for our group of 3. Pickup and drop off was extremely easy, and Jaden was very responsive to make sure timing and directions were clear. (Coming from someone from the states who never flew into calgary) We also rented the national park pass which was a qeight off our shoulders and a huge cost savings as we entered national parks on 4 of our 5 days. Price was great. Would definitely book again.

We had an outstanding experience renting Lee’s Chevy Suburban for our family trip through the Canadian Rockies. We drove from Calgary (YYC) to Canmore, Banff, and Jasper, and the Suburban was the perfect vehicle for our group. It comfortably seats 7–8 passengers and still had plenty of cargo space for four large suitcases plus all of our carry-on bags, making it ideal for a family vacation. Our host was exceptional. She met us at the airport parking garage when we arrived and again before our departure, making both pickup and drop-off incredibly smooth and convenient. The Suburban was spotless, impeccably maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. Apple CarPlay was especially helpful for navigating through the national parks and keeping everyone entertained during the drive. If you’re visiting the Calgary, Canmore, Banff, or Jasper area with a family or larger group, I highly recommend renting from Lee. It truly made our trip even more enjoyable.

Great communication the whole trip. Easy to book. Basic interior with the CX-9. Some dings and scratches on the outside, but nothing that would impede driving. Interior was very clean. We had one issue with the vehicle not starting the first evening. Sometimes sluggish to start thereafter but not all the time. Host was great and said they'd replace battery if needed during our trip if it continued to cause any problems. We used it for just over a week, with our family of 6's vacation, and it worked well for what we required. If you had large checked baggage and required the use of the 3rd row, it would be very tight in the trunk for space. For us, it worked well with just personal items from our flight. With the 3rd row down, excellent space.
