Excellent experience from start to finish. The car was in amazing condition, even better than expected. The host was amazing - extremely professional, friendly, flexible, & available 24-7, which made the whole rental process very smooth & stress-free. Communication was quick, clear throughout and the service felt far better than many other Turo hosts we've used before. I would definitely book again and HIGHLY recommend this host to anyone looking for a reliable car and a proper 5-star rental experience. Already booking my second trip with this host!

What a gentlemen and easy to work with! As a foreigner picking up a car in a different country especially when driving on a different side of the road! Karan not only reassured me of the rules and regulations but communicated with me along the way if need be! Car was clean and drove like a top. If you’re looking to rent a car when in the Uk look further, you’re in the right place 10/10!
