Rohullah was an amazing Car Rental host! he has been the best and nicest person I’ve worked on Turo With since using it. Very Communicative, understanding, and just overall friendly and supportive for your trip!
Great car, especially considering the reasonable price. Owner very helpful + responsive. Had a nail in the tire + ge vame over right away + fixed it himself. Would def rent from him again.
Super nice host! She dropped off to me directly and made drop off a breeze. She also took my last minute reservation, and gave us a clean car with a full tank of gas. Will use again!
This is my second experience with Turo. It was very simple to get to the car. Because they asked, we took photos of any potential blemishes associated with the car, which is really a benefit to me so we don’t have any issues with regards to who did what. The cars are always clean and the price to rent is so much more affordable than the ridiculous prices that the big Rental Car places charge. From this point on, I will always check with Turo before anyone else because of their Customer service, affordability, and Quality!
Harir was such a gracious host! I asked to extend my reservation last minute and he was so awesome about it. Car was so fun to drive, very clean and even had a car charger for drivers to use. Will absolutely use them again. Thank you!!!
Car was clean and drove really well. Love the built in CarPlay. Great price for what you get. The owner is very responsive if you have questions!
Trip was very easy and host was very responsive. I would definitely rent this car again if I was in the area
This car and host were great in comparison to the last 3 cars I've rented on Turo which all had mechanical/transmission or tires issues. The host was communicative and polite, the car was easy to find and return at the airport and it was a smoothe ride. Will definitely rent again!
The owner was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and I was genuinely impressed by how considerate and helpful they were. Communication was excellent—they responded almost immediately every time, which made the whole rental experience completely stress-free and reassuring. The Tesla was so comfortable and convenient that after renting this car, we liked it enough to go out and purchase a used Tesla ourselves! I also highly recommend adding the FSD subscription when renting this car—it made the experience even better. If I ever need to rent a car again, I would not hesitate to rent from this owner again. Highly recommended!
Car was phenomenal, cheap on gas, fast, he accommodated us when we couldn’t find a rental anywhere! I appreciate him so much
I really appreciate you letting me rent your car. The car was great and worked really well for all of my errands. The pickup was a little confusing at first, but he was very understanding and said he would take some money off for the 15-minute wait. He also let me keep the car for a few extra hours, even though my rental was originally supposed to end at 8:00 AM on Sunday. He extended it until 7:30 PM, which I really appreciated. The car was also great on gas, and I have no complaints. I would definitely book with him again!
Incredible experience! Samuel’s Corvette is a fantastic way to truly enjoy a rental car. The experience was seamless, smooth and I can’t wait to rent this beauty again. Surprising bonus was the aftermarket exhaust system. It sounds fantastic!
Solid car, reasonable rate, and host delivered car and service superior to traditional rental car options and fees. Host and Turo app made whole process easy with detailed instructions and easy to understand steps for pre pick-up, during trip, and drop-off. Host was easy to reach via phone or DMs to clear up any confusion or question I had as a first time Turo renter. Overall Turo app delivered as advertised and Elite DMV definitely surpassed my expectations and next time I need a car in Washington, DC they would get my business again.
I rented Luliia's car for a month, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive, answered all of my questions quickly, and made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free. The car was clean, well-maintained, and drove perfectly throughout the month. I really appreciated her professionalism and great communication. I would absolutely rent from Luliia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable rental and outstanding service!
I genuinely want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to both Oli and Nicole for everything. From start to finish, my experience with them was absolutely amazing. The car was beautiful, extremely clean, well-maintained, and clearly taken care of with a lot of love and attention to detail. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ali and Nicole were incredibly respectful, generous, kind, and welcoming. Their communication was truly outstanding—they were responsive, understanding, and made everything feel easy and comfortable. You can tell they genuinely care about providing a great experience and treating people with respect. I’ve rented cars before, but the kindness and hospitality I received from Ali and Nicole really stood out to me. They are genuinely some of the most kind-hearted and wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to rent from them. If you’re thinking about renting from them, I honestly can’t recommend them enough. You would absolutely be doing yourself a favor by choosing them. And if you decide not to rent from them, you’re honestly missing out on an incredible experience. The car, the service, the communication, and most importantly, the people behind it all were phenomenal. Thank you again, Oli and Nicole, for everything. I truly appreciate your generosity and the way you treated me throughout the entire experience. I would gladly rent from you again anytime, and I hope I get the opportunity to do so in the future. You guys are amazing! 🙏🏽🤍
After a terrible first experience with Turo, I had PTSD and was not sure I wanted to use the app for a second time- but I had made the reservation beforehand…. so…. I’m glad I gave Ali - and Turo- a chance. Great redemption.
Vehicle was easy to find. Great pickup location and precise. Vehicle was clean and spacious. Richard appears to be a great host overall. I would definitely make another reservation with him again.
I truly enjoyed driving this car! The vehicle was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and a pleasure to drive. Luke was extremely kind, accommodating, and made the entire rental experience smooth and convenient. His excellent customer service made the experience even better. I would definitely rent from him again and again. Highly recommended!
