We’ve now rented for three straight months from Broden, choosing multiple vehicles. He has always been extremely responsive and made our experience smooth. He has some of the best vehicles available and at a very reasonable price. We tried to rent from another listing this past week after returning our last vehicle to Broden, and immediately had to contact Turo to have them cancel the reservation due to major mechanical issues. Broden keeps up on his mechanical services, that added Rocket Car Wash unlimited pass is a really nice bonus, and pickup and drop off are so convenient. We just booked our 4th month and 3rd vehicle today with Broden.
Amazing experience from start to finish! The truck was clean, well-maintained, and ready right on time. The staff was professional, friendly, and made the rental process quick and stress-free. the truck drove perfectly the entire trip. I would definitely recommend this truck rental company to anyone needing reliable service and equipment. Will absolutely be using them again in the future!
We had an excellent experience renting this truck for our vacation. The vehicle was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. It drove great the entire trip and made traveling much more comfortable. The owner was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient. We would definitely rent this truck again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle for a trip.
Clint was an outstanding host from start to finish! The entire rental process was incredibly easy, smooth, and stress-free. He was friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure everything was clear and convenient throughout the trip. The truck itself was excellent—clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was spotless when I picked it up and performed flawlessly the entire time. I took it on a longer trip and had absolutely zero issues. The ride was comfortable, reliable, and handled everything I needed with ease. If you’re looking for a five-star experience all around, book with this host!!! I will absolutely rent from him again in the future! Thank you!!
The truck was perfect and basically brand new. We always appreciate the bed cover on rental trucks. This is my second time renting from Ryan and will continue to do so in future trips.
The option of Renting this Nissan Frontier pick up truck appeared at first glance like an “anxiety-reducing opportunity”, and here’s the reason why: -Pretty much all of the other trucks of the same type (with the oversized compartment in the back) are advertising for over $200 at the minimum, and quite often for just 24 hours. -In addition to the relief I felt as I noticed that this one was reasonably priced, the pick up location came as an unexpected bonus. Basically, there are a great number of car dealerships, most if not all, located one next to the other, occupying about a mile-long segment of the main road connecting Colma and Daly City called Serramonte Blvd. Thus, after dropping my car at the Volkswagen dealership on Serramonte blvd, being able to access this rental, located only about a mile away was a pleasant surprise. Especially when you combine that with the affordable price. - Lastly, the communication with the truck owner was easy and the details provided were quite thorough; which altogether made for an “anxiety-reducing” experience overall😀👍🙏. Thank you again for making the rental process of your Frontier, as simple and stress-free as it can be. Kel F, PharmD

Truck rental again was great, very clean and comfortable, will do business again in future, thank you.
Tian was great. He helped guide us throughout the whole rental process. The car has amazing FSD. I would highly recommend for roadtrips. Would rent again from him
This truck is awesome. It has a super strong and smooth running engine. All the working areas of the truck such as the tie downs in the bed are in great condition, which was super important for me. 👍👍 used for hauling machinery. The bed is in good shape not torn up like most rental trucks. Made it easy to sweep out. You will love driving this truck if visibility is important to you, it’s a lot better than a comparable sized van lol. While trucking around 😎 I loved the sound system, worked great with charging my phone and playing music. The check in and experience with Nesha was excellent. The price was significantly better and I enjoyed this truck much more than any truck I’ve gotten from THD, Lowes or Enterprise and this year was a BIG YEAR for trucks and vans ✌️
Amazing truck, flawless and very reasonable price. Just keep in mind it's rear wheel drive so not best for snowy conditions! But otherwise awesome car!
Elio’s truck was perfect and he was responsive throughout the rental process. He helped provide accurate pick up and drop off directions and the process was smooth throughout. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions in Kitchener
Why choose a truck for your Kitchener moving needs?
Trucks offer superior cargo capacity and loading height compared to standard vehicles, making them ideal for transporting furniture and large items around Kitchener and the broader Ontario region. The open bed design allows you to secure oversized belongings that won't fit in enclosed vehicles, while the robust suspension handles heavy loads efficiently. Truck hire in Kitchener provides the versatility needed for both local moves within the city and longer hauls to nearby areas like Cambridge or Waterloo.
What driving differences should you expect with a truck rental?
Trucks sit higher than regular cars, providing better visibility but requiring more caution when changing lanes due to larger blind spots. The increased length and width mean you'll need extra space for turning and parking, especially in Kitchener's downtown areas where spaces can be tight. Acceleration and braking distances are longer with rental trucks, particularly when carrying heavy cargo loads through Ontario's varied terrain.
How do you park a large truck in Kitchener's downtown core?
Look for designated truck parking zones or larger commercial parking lots rather than attempting to use standard street parking in downtown Kitchener. Many shopping centres and business districts offer extended parking spaces that accommodate longer vehicles better than residential streets. Always check height clearances for covered parking structures, as rental trucks may exceed standard vehicle height limits common in Ontario parking facilities.
What's the proper way to distribute weight in your truck bed?
Place the heaviest items directly over the rear axle and against the front wall of the truck bed to maintain proper balance and handling. Distribute weight evenly from side to side to prevent the vehicle from pulling in one direction while driving through Kitchener's streets. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps to prevent shifting, which is especially important when navigating Ontario's highways and city intersections.
Which safety features matter most in modern truck rentals?
Electronic stability control helps maintain vehicle control when carrying heavy loads or navigating wet Ontario roads during changing weather conditions. Backup cameras are essential for safe reversing, as trucks have significant blind spots that can obscure pedestrians and obstacles in Kitchener's busy parking areas. Anti-lock braking systems provide crucial stopping power when your rental truck is fully loaded with cargo.
Where are the best truck-friendly routes from Kitchener for weekend trips?
Highway 401 provides excellent truck access to Toronto and other major Ontario destinations, with wide lanes and gentle grades suitable for loaded vehicles. The route toward Guelph and beyond offers scenic countryside driving with adequate shoulder space and truck-friendly rest areas. Consider the path through Cambridge and toward Burlington for lake access, as these roads accommodate larger vehicles well while showcasing Ontario's diverse landscapes.
What insurance and protection plan options does Turo offer?
When booking a car on Turo, you'll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that's right for you. With each plan, you're covered with liability insurance purchased from Economical Insurance Company in Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec, and Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) in British Columbia — $2,000,000 for all plans.
Is there long term car rental on Turo?
Yes there is — whether you want to rent a car for three days, three months, or even longer, you can on Turo. You'll find discounted prices on bookings lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.
