I had a fantastic experience renting from Michael! From start to finish, everything was smooth and stress-free.

The delivery and pickup service was also seamless, making the entire rental process convenient and hassle-free. I highly recommend renting from Michael if you’re looking for a reliable vehicle and outstanding customer service. I would definitely rent from him again!
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!!
This truck was an absolute blast to drive! We had an awesome time and really enjoyed the experience. The customer service was outstanding very friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire rental process. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great rental experience.
Excellent truck rental experience. The truck was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Pickup and drop-off were easy, and communication throughout the trip was quick and professional. The truck drove great and was reliable for everything I needed. I would definitely rent from this host again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle.
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 was a pleasure to drive. We had to rent while our truck was in shop. Wanted to use a local rather than car rental companies. The truck was super Clean and comfortable. Great communication with host. Would definitely rent again.
Henry was extremely responsive, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the entire rental process. The truck was very clean, ran and drove great, and had excellent fuel economy. Everything was exactly as described, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. I would definitely recommend renting from Henry and would not hesitate to rent from him again in the future.
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 host and truck were amazing! The room in the back seat was spacious and comfortable. Also, all 10 large luggage b pieces fit perfectly on the bed of the truck. Recommend this truck rental over a rental company SUV.
Carlos was super accommodating for me. I really appreciated how he treated me and helped me through the rental process. Truck was great as well!
We had an excellent experience renting this Dodge Ram. The host was fantastic ... very responsive, easy to communicate with, and always available if we needed anything. The truck itself exceeded our expectations. It was exceptionally clean inside and out when we picked it up, drove beautifully, and was completely trouble-free throughout our trip. What impressed us most was the fuel economy. We were honestly expecting the 5.7L HEMI V8 to be hard on fuel, but it was surprisingly efficient on the highway. At one point we averaged just 10.8 L/100 km, which is better than some other trucks we've rented. The stereo system was also excellent and made the long drives much more enjoyable. Overall, this was one of the best vehicle rental experiences we've had. Great host, great truck, and great value. We would not hesitate to rent from them again and highly recommend both the vehicle and the owner to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable truck.
Everything about our rental process went super smoothly and the truck was excellent. Highly recommending Turo and Alaskan Adventure Rentals!
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 ✌️
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!
Great truck rental experience! The vehicle was clean, reliable, and easy to drive. The host is easy to talk to and made pickup/drop-off smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend!
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!
This was so easy very fast and definitely coming back when I need to rent a truck.

Top tips for renting a truck in Portland
Headed to eccentric Portland, Oregon? Here's what you need to know before you go, including our best advice for navigating city streets, finding parking, and confidently getting around in your truck rental.
Tips for driving a truck in Portland
If you've never driven a truck before, there are a few things to keep in mind before you step up into the cab. Driving a larger vehicle takes some getting used to, so consider going for a spin in a safe, easily driveable area — such as a parking lot or a suburban street — while you adjust to the truck's size and controls. Many trucks are stick shift (manual), though automatic models are becoming more and more common, especially in smaller trucks.
Portland driving is characterized by consistent traffic and a challenging downtown grid, which features a lot of one-way streets that can make navigation tough for big vehicles. So, it pays to know where you're going, and if possible and necessary, take alternative routes to avoid the city center. For maximum safety and minimal stress while operating your truck rental, always follow road signage and speed limits, and consider using a navigation app to guide you.
Importantly, speed limits in Portland start at 20 miles per hour (mph) in residential areas, downtown, and school zones, followed by 30 to 35 mph on arterial and two-lane roads, and up to 55 mph on highways.
What is parking a truck like in Portland?
With thousands of city-owned parking spaces scattered throughout Portland, it's generally simple to find a space here, though, depending on your chosen truck rental type, options may be limited by size.
For those hiring a pickup, bays in parking garages or non-parallel street spaces should suffice. In the downtown area, options for secure garages include the Southpark Garage (914 SW Taylor Street), the Central Plaza Garage (337 SW Alder Street), and the Broadway Parking Garage (632 SW Pine Street). Most city streets also feature metered, time-limited street parking, and truck drivers may struggle with their small and narrow nature. If you're navigating a box truck or cargo van rental, consider alternative options like parking in suburban or industrial areas.
When parking a truck, be aware of its length, and take extra precautions in tight spaces (e.g., use your vehicle's parking sensors or backup camera, or ask a passenger to guide you if your vehicle isn't equipped with these conveniences). Always note overhead height limits when entering parking garages.
How to choose the right type of truck for your Portland trip
If a Portland truck is on your radar, first you'll need to decide the exact type of vehicle you want. The trucks available on Turo vary from small pickup trucks to larger box trucks, all with their own unique capacity, number of seats, and transportation capabilities.
If you're just looking for a stockier vehicle with more power, perhaps a pickup truck is best. Need more space for storing equipment, furniture, or boxes? A cargo van rental gives you flexibility for smaller loads, whereas a box truck rental means tons of room and less back-and-forth between your origin and destination. Note that some trucks only offer a few passenger seats, whereas others can carry up to 7 or 8 people, so your crew will also determine which option suits you best.
Loading a truck
When loading a truck — whether it’s a pickup truck or a box truck — start by placing your heaviest items low and towards the front of the vehicle (or at the front of the cargo bed) to keep everything nice and stable. Distribute weight evenly on all sides, and use straps or ties to ensure items don’t shift while you drive. If you’re using the open bed of a pickup truck, make sure items are properly secured before driving. It’s also worth checking your rearview and side mirrors before setting off, particularly when navigating Portland’s busy city traffic.
Gas stations and EV chargers in Portland
Portland is a busy, thriving city with a strong (and continually developing) infrastructure, which includes lots of convenient spots to fill or charge up your truck rental.
Most gas stations are located in the suburbs or downtown, often along major roads. Within close driving range of Portland's center, you'll find options like the Chevron at 1967 SW 4th Avenue, the Northwest Gas at 1613 NW Kearney Street, and the Chevron at 2230 W Burnside Street. Remember, most fuel-based trucks run on diesel rather than normal gasoline, though this isn't a hard-and-fast rule. Before you pull up to the pump, confirm your fuel type — it's usually written under the fuel cap, but you can always cross-check your Turo booking if you're unsure — to avoid any mishaps.
If you've opted for an electric truck rental, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations aren't tough to find, either. Conversely, most charging stations are dotted throughout downtown, with additional high-speed chargers along highways like the I-5 and I-84. Parking garages like the Southpark Garage (914 SW Taylor Street) and the Auditorium Garage (1400 SW 4th Avenue) have chargers, as do some hotels, malls, and office buildings.

While trucks aren't the most common vehicle in the City of Roses, you'll still enjoy plenty of options when you book your truck rental with Turo.

Consider top picks like the all-electric Rivian R1T and the stocky Ford Maverick.
