Best price compared to other cars, good confirmation speed, good response time mid-trip for any questions about the car, economical car, phone holder and cables provided, car in good condition, no issues. For an affordable, economic car for a quick get away and availability as means of transport and performance and features is not your priority, I recommend booking this car.

Fantastic experience renting from Sara. The car was in great condition, the instructions were clear, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. Sara was responsive, professional, and very reasonable to deal with. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and appreciated her helpful communication throughout. Highly recommended, and I would gladly book with her again in the future.
As many people, I and a former ZipCar member. And Kash Z was very understanding, helpful and supportive as it was my first time hiring a car on Turo. The car was immaculate in the inside and super "Show-Room" clean! The car had a full tank and did my TURO check in photos, then away I was on my journey! I have driven a lot of different automatic/manual cars and this Toyoya Aygo is a great small AUTOMATIC car. This Automatic gearbox can also allow you to shift Up/Down gears. This type of gear box does have a slight noticeable delay when it shifts as it changes gears in auto mode, which is just a Toyota gearbox design. Great reverse camera, which is always a nice feature. That aside and once use to the car, it was a great car to Drive. Kash keeps it in top condition!
The car is fantastic and Natasha was amazing. We met her at the meeting place, went through the vehicle and went off on our trip to the Lake District. She was very communicative for the return, and handover was great! Highly recommend!
The car was maintained very perfectly to drive. It was very pleasant to have a drive in your car. This trip made us very comfortable journey for 3days. Thank you so much. We will be definitely come back again to have another drive.
