Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class 2021

The Mercedes was in excellent condition — spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained and a genuine pleasure to drive. The engine and overall performance were superb, and it was clear that the car is looked after with real care. Simon is an excellent host: professional, extremely knowledgeable about cars and simply a genuinely nice person to deal with. I received exactly the experience I had hoped for and will definitely rent from him again. One of my best Turo experiences so far.

Audi A5 2018

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience with Amor and his Audi A5! I had such a great booking with Turo and host Amor Hussain, driving his 2018 Audi A5 S line. This car honestly blew me away – it feels so quick and responsive, you’d never guess it’s a 1.4L, it handles beautifully and drives like a dream. The mileage was fantastic too: the booking allowance was 200 miles and I only used 85, such great value for the price I paid. Just one tiny note: I wish the exterior had been fully cleaned when I picked it up, but it was no trouble at all – I just gave it a quick wash myself, absolutely nothing to ruin the experience. As for Amor, he was an absolute perfect host! He was so supportive, helpful, respectful and easy to communicate with from start to finish. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and really went above and beyond. I will 100% be re-booking this car and recommending Amor to everyone I know!

The host was really friendly, punctual, and accommodating, making the experience feel welcoming. The car was spotless and all set when I arrived to pick it up. We enjoyed a 300-mile weekend trip, and the vehicle handled beautifully on the motorway and Norfolk country roads, all while being very fuel-efficient.
