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 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

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.

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 ✌️

Things to do and places to see in Scarborough

Scarborough offers attractions ranging from the dramatic Scarborough Bluffs with their towering cliffs and lake views to the vibrant cultural scene at Scarborough Town Centre. You can explore the peaceful trails at Rouge National Urban Park, Canada's first national urban park, or visit the diverse shops and restaurants along major corridors like Kennedy Road and Markham Road. Having a rental truck gives you the freedom to discover hidden gems across this sprawling borough, from the beaches at Bluffer's Park to the multicultural markets in various neighbourhoods. The area's excellent road network connects you easily to attractions throughout the Greater Toronto Area while providing ample parking at most destinations.


Scarborough Bluffs scenic overlooks

The Scarborough Bluffs rise dramatically above Lake Ontario, creating some of the most spectacular views in the Toronto area. You'll find several parking areas along Brimley Road South that provide access to different vantage points and beach areas below the cliffs. The winding roads through Bluffer's Park offer multiple spots to stop and admire the limestone formations and expansive lake views.


Rouge National Urban Park wilderness trails

This expansive park system stretches across Scarborough's eastern edge, offering hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and historical sites within Canada's largest urban park. You can access multiple entry points by truck, with parking available at locations like the Rouge Beach area off Lawrence Avenue East. The park's road network connects various trail systems, making it easy to explore different sections during your visit.


Scarborough Town Centre shopping district

This major retail hub anchors Scarborough's commercial heart, featuring hundreds of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options under one roof. You'll find convenient parking in the large attached garage, with easy access from Highway 401 via McCowan Road. The surrounding area offers additional shopping plazas and dining options, all easily accessible by truck with plenty of parking throughout the district.


How to get to Scarborough

By plane: Fly into Toronto Pearson International Airport, then drive east via Highway 401 to reach Scarborough. By train: Take VIA Rail to Toronto's Union Station, then continue by truck rental to Scarborough via the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway. By truck: Access Scarborough directly via Highway 401 from eastern or western Ontario, or take Highway 404/Don Valley Parkway from central Toronto and northern regions.


Top tips for renting a truck in Scarborough

Book your truck rental early on Turo to secure the best vehicle for your specific needs, whether you're moving apartments or hauling construction materials around Toronto. Look for trucks with features like backup cameras and blind spot warning systems to help navigate Scarborough's busy intersections and tight parking spaces. Consider cargo van options if you need enclosed storage, or choose pickup trucks for open-bed hauling flexibility when working on home improvement projects or transporting large items between Scarborough locations.

Frequently asked questions in Scarborough

Why rent a truck in Scarborough for moving day?

Renting a truck in Scarborough provides the cargo space needed for furniture, appliances, and boxes that won't fit in regular vehicles. Toronto's urban density makes multiple trips impractical, so a rental truck eliminates the need for several back-and-forth journeys. Scarborough's mix of apartments, townhomes, and houses often requires different loading approaches that trucks handle efficiently.

What should I expect when driving a truck versus a car?

Trucks sit higher than cars, giving you better visibility of traffic ahead but requiring more attention to overhead clearances like parking garages and drive-throughs. The wider turning radius means taking corners more gradually, especially in Scarborough's residential areas with parked cars lining the streets. Braking distances increase significantly with a loaded truck, so maintain greater following distances on busy Toronto routes.

How do I park a large truck in Scarborough?

Look for end parking spots or areas with fewer surrounding vehicles to accommodate the truck's length and your manoeuvring space. Many Scarborough shopping centres and community centres offer larger parking areas that work better than cramped residential streets. Always check overhead clearances and avoid parking under low-hanging branches or signs common in older Toronto neighbourhoods.

How do I properly distribute weight in my rental truck?

Place heavy items like appliances and furniture toward the front of the truck bed, closest to the cab, to maintain proper weight distribution. Distribute weight evenly from side to side and secure everything with tie-downs or moving straps to prevent shifting during transport. Keep the heaviest cargo low and use lighter items like pillows and linens to fill gaps and prevent movement on Scarborough's varied road surfaces.

What safety features do modern trucks offer?

Contemporary trucks include backup cameras that help navigate tight spaces common in Scarborough driveways and parking lots. Many feature blind spot monitoring systems that alert you to vehicles in adjacent lanes, particularly useful when merging onto busy Toronto highways. Electronic stability control helps maintain traction and prevents rollovers, especially important when carrying heavy loads through Ontario's changing weather conditions.

Where are the best truck road trip destinations from Scarborough?

The truck handles well for trips to Ontario's cottage country, where the cargo space accommodates camping gear, fishing equipment, and supplies for extended stays. Scarborough's location provides easy access to provincial parks throughout Ontario that welcome larger vehicles for family adventures. The truck's capability makes it ideal for exploring Canada's scenic routes where you might want to transport outdoor equipment or souvenirs from local markets.

What insurance and protection plan options does Turo offer?

When booking a truck 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.

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a truck on Turo?

To rent a truck on Turo in Canada, you must be 23 or older.

Is there long term truck rental on Turo?

Yes there is — whether you want to rent a truck 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.

What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a truck on Turo?

When you're booking your first trip, you'll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver's licence and some other information.
