The host was excellent throughout the whole process. Communication was very good, he was friendly and easy to deal with, and he made the whole car rental process simple and stress-free. Everything was straightforward from start to finish, and I would definitely rent from him again.
The Mercedes-Benz was an absolute pleasure to drive. It was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. The ride was smooth, the vehicle performed flawlessly, and it made our trip even more enjoyable. The owner was professional, responsive, and made the entire rental process easy from start to finish. I would definitely rent this Mercedes again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a first-class TURO experience.

Ricky the host was amazing, super friendly and very professional. He made the whole experience very easy and comfortable as my first time using this app for car rental. Everything was super smooth and perfect. Highly recommend.
The owner of the car is a very nice guy who was very responsive, accommodating and generally friendly. Car was great, I think in the London car renting market this is great value for the price.
Moh was incredibly accommodating and was happy to deliver and pick up the car directly to and from my address. Communication was nice and simple and the ride was smooth!
We had a great experience renting this car through Turo! The host was friendly, welcoming, and made everything so easy. He kindly picked us up, and even the car he collected us in had great air conditioning, which was much appreciated in the 30°C heat. He also offered us water and dropped us off at the nearest station at the end of our trip. The rental car drove perfectly with no issues at all. Overall, it was a smooth, stress-free experience with excellent service. We’d definitely recommend this host and would happily rent from them again!
Host is really nice, appreciate the flexibility with pick up and drop off. Host offered to drop us at the airport for a fee, we took the offer. The car is an older model as mentioned by the host so doesn't have some of the latest features. For the price and service, it was a good value for money.
I had the car rental experience with Mirza! He was very communicative and fast in responding to any queries, the car drives very well and it’s also fuel efficient. Pick up and drop off process was very easy and straightforward, the host is also very kind and friendly. Definitely best price rate and car rental experience you would have (especially with automatic car!)
Very happy with this rental, the car was very smooth, cruise control was efficient and the owner was very accommodating. I would definitely rent this car again. Don't be put off by the one bad review and give this car rental a try.
Omar went above and beyond before and throughout the rental. Car was in excellent condition, exactly as described, and he couldn't have done more to make make the process as easy as possible. Would definitely rent from again
I had an excellent experience renting this car. The vehicle was spotless, well-maintained, and drove perfectly throughout my trip. The host was friendly, professional, and made the pickup and drop-off process smooth and hassle-free. Communication was excellent, and everything was exactly as described. I would highly recommend both the car and the host, and I would happily rent from them again in the future.
Proper car, proper host, zero nonsense. The Audi A6 was in excellent condition — clean, well kept and clearly looked after properly, not just “rental clean” for appearances. Drives beautifully, looks sharp, and does exactly what a good A6 should do: makes the journey feel quietly superior without shouting about it. The host was excellent as well — easy, reliable and refreshingly normal to deal with. Very happy to recommend.
Derrick was an excellent host from start to finish. The BMW was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, well maintained, and drove perfectly throughout the trip. Communication was quick and friendly, and the pickup and drop-off process was smooth and hassle-free. Derrick was accommodating and made the whole rental experience easy and stress-free. I would definitely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable Turo host. Thanks again, Derrick!
Experience was great. 1. Pick up - very efficient, good communication, no contact set up which was perfect. 2. Car quality - good condition for the age of the vehicle. 3. Ride experience - really fun car for a road trip, great on the motorways and on country roads as well
Car did great for two people for a day trip. Tire pressure light came on, but that’s because we were here during a drastic temperature change. Everything else went as planned!
