We were staying in a hotel in Santa Monica and this rental was very convenient for us.
We will definitely try and use this car again when back in Santa Monica.
Thad is super responsive and increasingly easy to work with - he made the rental process a breeze.
The Porsche was fantastic to drive and we will definitely use Passion again next time we are in Santa Monica.
If we come back to Santa Monica/LA area, we will definitely rent from you again!!
I’m in the market for a new EV and have a reservation for a ‘23 model ID.4 which doesn’t differ much as Tim’s car except for a new middle console and software updates.
I do not have enough good words abut the car and Dustin’s support. Delivery and pick up on time. Easy communication with Dustin. Car was externally clean and ready to drive. I had great holidays and I recommend Dustin and his cars.
Probably my favorite Turo rental ever, the Defender was even better than I anticipated.
I drove from West LA to Pasadena and the east side and the gas tank was still full at the end of the trip.
This well-maintained Cayenne soaked up my 1,200-mile road trip with ease, and Christopher was excellent to deal with.
Amazing. Vehicle was stellar and Anton was a great host. Thank you!
I highly recommend renting a vehicle from Innokentiy. The car was delivered on time and he was very helpful/responsive. Also, the Ford Explorer came with chains, which were required to drive to Mammoth Mountain. Thank you, Innokentiy!
Jane was amazing girl, very flexible and helpful. Strongly recommend her to anyone looking for luxury car.

Highly recommend. Making arrangements and communicating was effortless. Thank you Mahiri!
The car is great! Fantastic MPG, good performance, clean, and comfortable. Fedor was great at communicating and made the whole experience a breeze. Couldn't be happier with the experience.
This jeep was absolutely amazing! I love the jeep culture with every other jeep waving! The host was fantastic and made sure everything was going well! Will definitely use again when I come back! Thanks for the great memories!
