What an excellent host Noel was. Above all, helpful, transparent and honest. Exactly what you want when hiring a car on Turo from a private individual. Came to the location and found him diligently cleaning it to make it easy for our trip. He called and agreed to us coming a little earlier so that he could meet us and ensure everything was smooth and easy. Wish all our cars were as easy to hire from such hosts. Thank you

Best price compared to other cars, good confirmation speed, good response time mid-trip for any questions about the car, economical car, phone holder and cables provided, car in good condition, no issues. For an affordable, economic car for a quick get away and availability as means of transport and performance and features is not your priority, I recommend booking this car. Thank you for accomodating the booking.
