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.
The 208 2020 Peugeot exceeded my expectations. The car was very well-maintained, comfortable, clean, and drove great. The rental process and communication with the owner were smooth and seamless. I highly recommend it and would definitely rent again
Nabeel was an absolute pleasure to rent from. The car was spotless, super smooth to drive, and well maintained. Pick up and drop off were completely hassle free, and Nabeel was quick to respond and accommodating throughout the entire trip. Easily one of the best rental experiences I’ve had on Turo. I’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable host👍👍
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.
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.
Great car, great service and a very lovely guy. Would recommend to anyone looking to rent a car. Will 100% use again.
Easy pick up and location. Very friendly and welcoming host who explained everything at pick up time. Comfortable car
Top notch and professional touch from Romeo n his team right from pickup to dropoff inetween. Don't even get me started on the car experience. Way more than I thought I'd get based on the price. Already on my favourite list. Will certainly book again and again and will highly recommend....
Good communication. The car was overall enjoyable and perfect for the small parking lots of Devon. Good quality price ratio
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
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.
Nice car , drive well , AC chilling , friendly host and reasonable price compared to others , I’ll use this car again if I have to
The car is very good for a day trip as is small and fuel efficient! I would totally recommend it. Also Carly was super cool and she assisted us with everything. Overall very happy and will rent with her again!
Great rental experience! The car was in excellent condition, everything went smoothly, and Nabeel was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I would definitely rent from him again. Highly recommended!
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
