Amazing communication and the car was fun to drive. Always wanted to drive a mini coop! Will rent again very soon!
The Mini was a great car and a great price! It was exactly where the host said it would be and the directions were clear! We would ABSOLUTELY use this car again on a future trip!
Easy pick up and return, driving the mini Cooper around was easy and had no problems. If I ever need to rent a car again I will definitely check for this mini Cooper!
I rented a Mini Cooper JCW, and everything went perfectly. The car was delivered directly to my address, which was very convenient. The vehicle was new, clean, and in excellent condition. Great service, smooth experience, and no issues at all. I definitely recommend renting from them!
Last-minute reservation and the host could not have been more accommodating. He was incredibly helpful walking me through the app, the process, and sharing useful tips, especially at pickup and return. Very hands-on when needed, but otherwise gave me space and didn’t bother me throughout the trip unless I reached out. The Mini Cooper was an absolute fun to drive: fun, comfortable, and surprisingly roomy inside. Very flexible to accommodate your needs upon return. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I’d definitely rent from him again.
The only thing about our trip with the Mini that we did not like was giving her back! Absolutely fun, smooth car that did super well on gas and had all the bells and whistles. The Mini was the perfect size for two people and our luggage! If we come back down this way we will definitely be looking to rent Mini again! This was our first time using Turo and our host was more than accommodating and made the process very smooth. Highly recommend this car!
The mini was a fantastic car and we loved driving it for the few days in and around Seattle. It is a new car and has all the features that you would expect and was sporty to drive. Ryan and his team were super communicative through the trip and answered any questions we had. The car pick up and drop off were so convenient at the airport. This was the first time I have used Turo to rent a car and now I believe I will check it out first before looking at conventional rental car companies.
The Mini was great to rent. It runs well is very comfortable. I drove it to 2 of my work meetings and it was a nice conversation piece. Its a fun little car very with a smooth ride. Excellent thank you!
Loved this car for my trip with my daughter! It was easy and fun to drive. Very clean and zero issues. Only a 5min Uber from the airport. All was seamless! Thanks for such a great car rental! Will rent again!
My wife and I had so much fun in the Mini Cooper! The team was super responsive, and kind. The car is clean, tech-savvy, very sharp looking. Being able to put the top down in the Cali Sun was icing on the cake. I will definitely rent this car on a future L.A. trip!
You can’t ask for a better host, or car! Elisabel’s Mini was awesome, and the car is very well taken care of. She went above and beyond to make our first Turo car rental experience a fantastic one. We recommend her to everyone, and will be back to rent again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Everything about this rental car interaction was stellar!! Hosts were super-responsive and incredibly helpful and patient when I had questions. The car was impeccably clean at pick-up, instructions were clear, all was just perfect. I drive a Mini myself, and it made all the difference in the world to have a familiar car to drive for my trip. Just excellent hosts!! Hope to rent from them again in the future!
Great car, even better host. Pia was patient and worked with me when my trip was delayed. Great communication and very kind 🧡 The car was fun to drive, excellent condition and has great gas mileage. Would 100% rent from her again! Pia is the go to gal in Arizona to rent a Mini Cooper 😃
Any time I need to rent a car I rent one of Chris’s minis! Super fun cars, awesome host, excellent communicator, always a pleasure!!🥰
The car was clean and in great shape. It was easy to pick up and communication was good. This was my first experience with a Mini. It had a lot of power and a good turning radius. I would rent this car again.
