Amazing experience with Turo! The car was clean, smooth to drive, and exactly as described. Pickup and return process was very easy, and the host was friendly and responsive. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a convenient and affordable car rental.
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.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience with this rental from start to finish. The host was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the entire trip, making everything smooth and stress-free. Communication was excellent at all times, with quick responses and clear instructions which made the whole process effortless. The Vauxhall Viva was exactly as described — clean, reliable, economical, and perfect for getting around London comfortably. The car was well maintained and drove beautifully the entire trip without a single issue. Pickup and drop-off were also extremely convenient and organised. You can really tell the host cares about providing a great experience for guests, and it genuinely made the trip even better. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future and would highly recommend this host to anyone looking for a dependable car and outstanding service. Thank you again for such a brilliant experience!
The rental was stop on, the owner was on time and very informative, the car itself was extremely clean and it drove perfectly with no issues. Will definitely be back to rent from them again.
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 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.
Had a great trip! We picked up in London and the whole process was super easy. Communication was smooth, the host was flexible, and the car was awesome and really fun to drive. There were 4 of us, and we thought it might feel a little underpowered on the freeway, but it actually surprised us. We had a great time, including a stop at the Pooh Cafe. Would definitely recommend!
Car quality was amazing and so nice to drive. The hosts were so lovely and even left snacks in the car which was extremely thoughtful. Will definitely rent again!! Super happy with everything, thank you :)
David was superb, both pick up and drop was swift, car was in great condition, drivability was smooth, and good mileage. I'd definitely rent back.
Will and his Renault Zoe were exactly what I needed. The car was in great condition, clean, and drove brilliantly. Will was incredibly kind and helpful throughout — easy to communicate with and made the whole experience completely stress-free. Everything about the rental was seamless from start to finish.
