Great car at a fair price with no hidden fees. The whole process was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Will use them again!
Alhajie was super lovely and communicative with me as it was my first time using the app. Car was clean and comfy. Would definitely hire again. Great price too.
Great service, very accommodating, they took a last minute booking from me as a previous host cancelled a reservation the day before our journey and eased the stress and made this booking stress free with the remote options. Nice vehicle, nice drive, you can tell a lot of thought, time has gone into the process as they even provide detailed information about how to use the vehicle for those who made not be familiar with cars. The only small criticism i have is the vehicle wasn’t completely clean show room ready would be nice to have a refreshing air freshener smell but besides this it was good for the last minute booking great experience, I would book again if required. Thank you.
I had the car rental experience with Mirza! He was very communicative and fast in responding to any queries, the car drives very well and it’s also fuel efficient. Pick up and drop off process was very easy and straightforward, the host is also very kind and friendly. Definitely best price rate and car rental experience you would have (especially with automatic car!)
The Mercedes-Benz was an absolute pleasure to drive. It was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. The ride was smooth, the vehicle performed flawlessly, and it made our trip even more enjoyable. The owner was professional, responsive, and made the entire rental process easy from start to finish. I would definitely rent this Mercedes again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a first-class TURO experience.

The car felt very reliable when driving. Powerfull engine and spacious as well. It was just enough for my family of 5 on a 9 day trip. The fuel tank was full when I collected it, not like all the previous cars I used on Turo. Will definitely book next time as well.
