Needed a car to take me up to the midlands for a birthday party and glad I chose this one. The Pickup was very easy! I met the owner and they showed me the basic functions. I hadn’t used this type of automatic shift but quickly got the hand of it! It drives very smooth, the cars clean and the owners are very kind and helpful with any questions. They even gave me snacks for the road The car very fuel efficient! The full tank lasted me a round trip to Blackburn/liverpool & back to London (around 450 miles). I’d recommend & will definitely be using it again for future long haul trips

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. Thank you for accomodating the booking.

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!

Great little car. Very spacious boot. Perfect for a weekend away. I wanted a car with a gear stick and hand break as I enjoy driving and not just push a button. Ty was a great host and sent instant response. I will definitely rent from Ty again :)
