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! 😊

My first experience of renting a car through Turo and could not have started better! Samuel, the host, was absolutely great. Nice, polite and super helpful. He took the time to welcome me and show me all the car controls. The car was tidy, well kept and in perfect working order. It goes without saying that the trip was great and went on without a glitch. Great host and great car!!! I will definitely rent again from Samuel. Thanks for the great experience!!!
Great trip with this car. The smaller size makes it convenient to fit anywhere! Great price value too.
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.
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!
Fantastic little Smart, highly recommended! The car is in excellent condition, very clean, and perfect for driving around the city. Super practical and easy to park.

Great car and great host. Easy to deal with and arrange drop off and pick up.
We had the best experience with Sid on Turo. He was very helpful and responsive throughout the rental, always quick to answer any questions we had. Communication was clear and made everything easy. The car was great - clean, well-maintained, and very reliable. Sid is a wonderful host who clearly cares about providing a good experience. The pickup and drop-off process was smooth and convenient. He made the whole rental process simple and straightforward. We would definitely rent again and highly recommend. Thanks again for the great service!
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.
