This is not the first time I’ve rented a car from Sid, and once again, I’ve had a fantastic experience! Sid is incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. He took the time to help me connect my phone to the car and explained everything I needed to know. He is always smiling, welcoming and happy to answer any questions. He is also very responsive to messages through the Turo app, making the whole rental experience easy and stress-free. The car I rented this time was different from the one I had rented previously, but it was just as well maintained. It was spotlessly clean, fresh-smelling and clearly looked after. During our journey, we found it extremely comfortable, including for the passengers sitting in the back. The boot was spacious enough for all our belongings, and the car felt very stable and quiet on the motorway. It was also very easy to drive, and the automatic transmission made the journey even more enjoyable. The car was economical on fuel, making it a great choice for longer trips. When we returned the car, I was a few minutes late, but Sid was very understanding and reassured me that it was absolutely fine, as there is an additional 30-minute grace period. He checked the car carefully, and everything went smoothly. What I particularly appreciate about Sid is not just the quality of his cars, but also the way he treats people. He is approachable, genuinely friendly and always willing to help. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease, even when you’re driving a car that isn’t your own. I would absolutely recommend Sid and his cars to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable and hassle-free car rental experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from him again. Thank you, Sid, for your kindness and excellent service! 😊

Great trip with this car. The smaller size makes it convenient to fit anywhere! Great price value too.
Absolutely nice car from the wonderful host. Definitely will be the first choice for the next trip
Will was super nice and responsive - the car picked up that a tyre was punctured, and he insisted on getting a mobile tyre repair so my trip would not be too impacted. Very clean car and runs really well, easy to drive.
Amazing. Car is great and the host is very responsive and kind. I will rent again
Booked this car last minute and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. The host was super flexible, letting us push our pickup back by a couple of hours to 10pm on Friday, and replied to all our questions really promptly. Contactless pickup and drop-off were both easy, and the car was clean and drove great. Perfect experience, would happily rent again!
Well maintained car and quite the pleasure to drive, feature rich and a breeze on the road. Host was very kind to delay pick up by a couple of hours on my request. Great trip overall.
Perfect car for a day trip amazing experience with the host and sound system in the car is top class
