I had a fantastic experience renting this car from Turo. The car was clean, comfortable, and drove incredibly smoothly, making every trip enjoyable. The entire rental process was convenient and hassle-free, and the vehicle was exactly as described. I would definitely rent this car again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable ride.
Great trip with this car. The smaller size makes it convenient to fit anywhere! Great price value too.
Bill was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. It was a smooth handover meeting him in London and he was a pleasure to deal with the entire time. The car drives brilliantly and exactly what we wanted. It was great to be able to use an Eco mode whilst driving long distances on the motorway then the sport plus mode during the more exciting parts of the trip. The convertible roof was fantastic, taking only 10 seconds to come up or down and can be done up to 30 miles an hour, which proves very helpful when exploring Scotland. Would definitely rent from him again.
Great service, very accommodating, they took a last minute booking from me as a previous host cancelled a reservation the day before our journey and eased the stress and made this booking stress free with the remote options. Nice vehicle, nice drive, you can tell a lot of thought, time has gone into the process as they even provide detailed information about how to use the vehicle for those who made not be familiar with cars. The only small criticism i have is the vehicle wasn’t completely clean show room ready would be nice to have a refreshing air freshener smell but besides this it was good for the last minute booking great experience, I would book again if required. Thank you.
Clean car, easy pick up/drop off and helpful extending trip. Would use again!
Bernie was an absolutely fantastic host. He went out of his way multiple times to be more convenient to us. We had a delay in flight, change of plans and several other issues that he was very accommodating for. The car was in great shape. It was clean and functioned as should. Would absolutely rent from him again
Fantastic rental! Gordon was very responsive and really helpful. Car ran very smoothly and with unlimited mileage it was an ideal rental. Great price and super economical car. We averaged around 65 mpg!
Wonderful car and great host experience, would rent again thanks so much
very good car, excellent condition. extremely smooth. Found it clean with a full tank of diesel. All instructions are very clear, both check in and check out. Hassle free rental. Straightforward pick up and drop off.
Absolutely nice car from the wonderful host. Definitely will be the first choice for the next trip
The communication with AI was excellent. He was available before, during and after the trip. I have to stress how helpful and supportive he was with us. The car is great and everything works perfectly . Thank you!
