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.
Monstair and his Yaris were a dream car rental - will definitely use again!
Perfect price for a short trip out to the countryside! Super responsive and dropped off and picked up on time at our house! Would definatly book again
One of the best cars and Carly was absolutely amazing and so helpful! She was incredibly kind and even dropped us off at the bus stop because we were already exhausted after such a long journey and still had to get to our hotel. Really appreciate her kindness and going the extra mile. Highly recommended! ❤️ The best thing is car was best and carly was realy realy really nice 😊 thank you carly for making my vacation from Australia making memorable . You are the best
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.
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!)
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
The car was in excellent condition, very clean and great to drive. Perfect for our bank holiday trip to Somerset. Prachi was very accommodating and great to deal with. We accidentally caused some cosmetic damage to the car during our trip, however the experience of dealing with the repairs was very smooth. We would definitely hire the car again!
Very accommodating and flexible host. Used the car for a trip out of the city with family and had no issues. Clean and felt like new! Will rent again soon!
Lovely car for a road trip. My wife and I had the best time exploring the UK coastline in this car. The drive is smooth, comfortable, and the fuel lasts for a long time! The host was fantastic, check-in was quick and straightforward. Definitely going to be booking again!
Transparency is key with these type of arrangements, and that’s exactly what you get with T 🙏🏾
