Car was clean and ready when promised for pick up. In good shape and reasonable price for this rental.
Great value for the price! The owner was a really nice and trustworthy guy. He explained everything clearly, was easy to communicate with, and made the whole experience very smooth. Would definitely recommend!
Wayne was an incredibly accommodating and friendly host, and his Honda CRV is in pristine condition for being 2015!! We had a wonderful family trip to P.E.I. and will definitely be reaching out to him next time we’re in town :)
This was my first time using Turo and it was exceptionally convenient, affordable and clear! The SUV was great and my whole family was comfortable in this vehicle. PEI has some dirt roads so we were happy to feel safe and comfortable in the Jeep.
Communication with Gerald was easy and he made our pickup and drop off very convenient. Vehicle was clean and served us well for a few adventures around the island. Will definitely use this service again on our next trip to Charlottetown.
Car was spotless clean, Spencer was very communicative during my entire trip when I had questions. 5/5 would book again!
It was great having the car, will be back soon this year to book another trip
Had a great trip seeing all the sights in PEI! Joy was helpful and responsive. Pickup and drop-off location were not far from the airport which was also convenient. It poured rain and was terribly windy for the final few days of the trip and the car held up beautifully and sturdily, for which I'm very grateful!
