This was my first time renting through Turo so there was definitely a learning curve as with all things. I had trouble finding the Turo parking lot at the DFW car rental center. It is northwest of the building. In order to get in or out of the lot with the car you need to speak to someone to open the gate. So be sure to have your reservation number handy. Other than that it was easy and smooth. The price was the same as renting from Fox/Eurocar but i got to pick my car and color unlike with a typical rental company. The host was friendly and helpful when needed.

Eric and Valerie have made it impossible for me to ever rent from one of the big international car rental companies again. This was my third rental with them and they are everything the big guys are not. They are friendly, efficient, customer focused are most importantly really easy to deal with. Their cars are great as well.

The host, the car, and the whole Turo experience was 10/10. The price was fantastic and the whole experience was seamless. We had weird hours we wanted to leave and return the car that would not have worked with a car rental agency, but Angel and Turo made the whole process easy and seamless. I’m a bigger guy so I was worried about how comfortable the car would be and it was perfect. The great ride made our whole vacation possible and comfortable. I really appreciated the vehicles safety features too!

Nissan Altima 2025

The Nissan Altima was great. Good mpg, clean, lots of power, great response time. The car needed to be picked up at an off site location called, economy car rental at 2367 India street. A proximity 2 1/2 miles from the airport. You will need to find a ride to their location. The price of taxi will be $30, however we took the free shuttle to the car rental center then walked 20 minutes the rest of the way. The team at this location did a great job, fast, friendly, polite, and after returning they able to offer a ride back to the airport. We would rent this Altima again, and I would recommend this vehicle.

Easy pick up and drop off. Car was very clean inside. A/C blows super cold even when it's 100 degrees out!! The windows are not tinted so I suggest bringing your own sun shades if you are going to be parked anywhere but the shade in the summer. Luckily I had those and that made my trip much better. The flip down visors do have the extenders to help block sun while driving thankfully. Charging prices are comparable to current gas prices - about $45 to get 250 miles of charge over a few sessions which is the same as I get from a full tank in my Toyota Yaris. This car DOES have the CHAdeMO fast charge input so it's 30-50 seconds per mile to charge depending on the fast charger & whether you're running the car (AC/radio) or it's fully off. Radio speakers were a little blown out so I had to adjust some settings to listen to my audiobooks but it was easy to do. I had no problem driving from the pickup spot to Kyle, then to the airport, and back into town without needing a charge which was about 90 miles, mostly highway. Just like any Turo rental make sure to take your own photos at pickup and drop off since scratches and such aren't usually documented after every drive by the car owners which seems standard in my experience. Overall a great deal, best price in town especially for a last minute rental. I requested the rental at 9pm on a Tuesday after my personal car died and was able to get this the next morning with no issue. Will definitely keep them in mind when I need a rental near by. Thanks again!

First, I contemplated leaving a 4 star review for a few reasons. However, the prompt response to the issue with the original vehicle reserved, partly due to luck that someone happened to be onsite with the car, and the flexibility with returning the vehicle without requiring washing and vacuuming is deserving of some grace. The price for 5 day/4 night rental was fantastic, around $150 total. I certainly didn't expect a car in pristine shape for the cost. This car is a part of a Turo "rental company" fleet. It seems like a company that buys cheap, used cars to rent out. There are 12-15 cars parked behind a strip mall 8-10ish minutes from the airport in an area I was glad we were picking up and dropping off midday rather than the evening. The hybrid we originally reserved had stained seats and a lot of cosmetic wear. One tire looked like it was on a spare wheel and didn't have a lot of life left, honestly. A lot of the roads in San Diego aren't exactly in great shape, I was concerned about getting a flat. When we turned the car on to leave we immediately got check engine lights and a "pull over immediately" message. Fortunately, someone with the "rental company" was on site and qas able to quickly switched cars for us. It wasn't a hybrid, though. We didn't plan on a lot of driving, but originally opted for a hybrid to save money since we had two days of freeway driving. We definitely spent more on gas then originally planned. If there wasn't someone available onsite to help, it could have been a much longer ordeal which is a terrible way to start a vacation. Communication day of pick up felt slow with the owner. I didn't think to look back to the 2 month old message about how to find the car. I received a message from Turo saying we'd be sent details the day before the trip. I never got that confirmation text or measage the day before or day of pick up from the actual rental owner. When I first reached out to the rental company through the turo app to find the car at pick up time, I didn't get a response. I finally found a way to text someone about 20 minutes later. We did get a pretty quick response that way, but it's frustrating to be in a random parking lot messaging through an app and not get a response. The Honda interior is definitely cleaner than the hybrid we reserved, but the exterior, not so much. Its been side swiped and has a lot of sun damage. The TPMS light was on the whole time, but the actual tire pressure was fine. There was also a rattle and grinding noise when accelerating from a stop or on a hill, but it didn't cause an issue. The car drives fine for a 14-15 year old car, it's just a little noisy and you feel all the bumps on the road. I understand with the cheaper cost of renting through Turo amd choosing a 12-15 year old car, I'm not getting a newer car like I would with a standard rental company or paying more for a newer car. That said, with my last few Turo rentals, it feels a lot of these Turo "rental companies" aren't checking their cars or doing much more than standard maintenance as frequently as they should when they have over 150,000 miles on them. The confirmation message also suggested the cars are kept in great shape. These cars were not in great shape by any stretch of the imagination. No one wants to be on vacation and have their car break down or even be worried that the car they're driving is gonna get a flat or break down.

Andre was great, the car was somewhat still dirty, dust, dirt, what appeared to be cigarette ashes, animal hair, sticky spills around the cup holders in the center console and the door panels. Crumbs and dust/dirt left in the door handles and cubby's. In the center console cup holders and cubbys. On the top of the dashboard, around the steering column and gauges. Sticky dusty windows and stereo buttons. Rear view mirror had sticky smudges on it. All the windows inside were dusty and dirty with smudges and idk what really.. the car had a bad smell of animals like dogs, and faint cigarette smell.. however as I got further into my trip I got used to it and wasn't bothered by it anymore. A lot of these issues honestly didn't bother me very much. I was more worried of being blamed for them when I returned the car. Unfortunately I was put behind schedule due to a passenger side headlight and passenger side tail light being burned out. However upon informing andre, he was very quick with a solution to take the car to valvoline where they were able to repair the lights before I left for my trip. If I wasn't already running late It wouldn't of bothered me. Andre was also very quick to reimburse me the whole price of the repairs immediately upon me sending him the receipt of the work.. I very much appreciated that! I also appreciate that instead of canceling my trip Andre worked out a way to have the lights fixed with no trouble of my own. He was always quick to respond to all of my very long messages full of questions. This is my first time using turo and I did not know the ins and outs of the rental process. He was able to guide me threw every step all while being polite and keeping his patience with me! Hah. I ended up running behind schedule on my way back as well and was surprised how simple and easy it was to change the return time from noon to after 9 p.m. all without adding any fees to my bill! That was very helpful of andre to allow me to do. I also ended up being a little passed my return time due to vacuuming the car and dusting everything to my best ability. So that andre wouldn't have to deal with someone else's mess and the next person who rents the vehicle will not have to worry about it either. I had no issues with doing that for him after he was so helpful with me! The vehicle was a little different then what im used to. But in no time I settled in with the car and had a very enjoyable trip! I would forsure rent another vehicle from andre in the future due to how well he accommodated me on this trip. Even tho the car had the mess, that was not andre, But left over from previous renters. He even made sure to have a snow brush and ice scraper in the car for me. But unfortunately the previous renters also took that with them. Im sure there will be a new one for the next person who rents the car because thats how much andre cares about his customers !! 5 stars for andre !!! Whoever returned his vehicle like that should be ashamed and think about how it would feel if someone treated your things the same way! Once again THANK YOU andre! I will reach out to you next time I need to rent a car.. I appreciate all your help thru the process! I appreciate your professionalism and quick responses to all my questions and thank you for making sure the vehicle was 100% good to go for me before I left and wouldn't of been able to fix it. 5 of 5 stars for andre !!

My credit card wasn’t working for some odd reason and rental companies wouldn’t let me rent a car so I booked this Turo last minute and it was a reasonable price for five days. I will do it again when I come back to Vancouver in August.

Excellent 1st experience using Turo. The host was very responsive and timely. The vehicle was in great condition and rode very well. The price was a good deal and would definitely use this again as opposed to a major car rental facility. It was a simple process overall and very straightforward.

Highly recommend! First of all Rigid was very helpful from the beginning. I wasn’t exactly sure what days I would be arriving at GSO so I had to keep rescheduling the rental, but Rigid was very understanding and willing to work with me! Very well communicated from making the reservation to returning the car. Very easy pickup, the car was dropped off right outside the arrival level, so no long walk to the parking lot or rental car center etc. Clean car with good mpg! Will definitely rent again next time I coming through GSO airport!

The host, Tadeh was exceptional. The very best in customer service. I had the best experience with renting from Tadeh. Everything was so easy; Tadeh was super accommodating, very kind, he went way above and beyond what I reasonably expected. Tadeh is a thousand times better than AVIS, HERTZ, Enterprise, Thrifty, Budget, Dollar, and all the major car rental. Tadeh gave me the best deal; the major car rentals do not come close; I saved a lot of money. The car was great, very good on the gas mileage; and very clean. Tadeh made sure pick-up location was very convenient for me, Tadeh drove the car to where I was; it’s the best. Tadeh also picked up the car when I was done and again made sure it was convenient for me. I am very grateful for this. Once I return from my deployment, absolutely renting from Tadeh again; will be telling all my friends and colleagues. This is just amazing customer service. I am very appreciative for everything. THANK YOU

Consider exploring the winding roads through the Brecon Beacons National Park, where rolling hills and serene valleys create a breathtaking backdrop for your journey. The coastal drive along the Gower Peninsula presents dramatic clifftop views and charming seaside villages. For a more local experience, meander through the rural lanes connecting quaint villages in the heart of Carmarthenshire. These routes offer a perfect blend of scenic vistas and cultural charm, making them ideal for leisurely drives in your chosen vehicle.

How can drivers navigate through Llanelli's town centre during peak traffic hours?

Navigating Llanelli's town centre during busy periods requires some local know-how. To avoid congestion, consider using the town's ring road system, which helps circumvent the busiest areas. If you must enter the centre, plan your route in advance and be aware of one-way systems. Utilise car parks on the outskirts of town and walk to your destination if possible. Keep an eye out for bus lanes and pedestrian zones to avoid accidental infractions. During peak hours, allow extra time for your journey and consider adjusting your schedule to travel outside the busiest times if feasible. Remember, patience and courtesy go a long way when driving in town centres, especially in a rental car in unfamiliar surroundings.

Where can one find reliable petrol stations in and around Llanelli for refuelling?

Llanelli and its surrounding areas offer several reliable options for refuelling your vehicle. You'll find petrol stations conveniently located along major routes and in the town centre. Look for well-known brands such as Shell, BP, and Texaco, which often provide quality fuel and additional services. Some supermarkets in Llanelli, like Tesco and Morrisons, also operate petrol stations, often at competitive prices. When venturing into more rural parts of Carmarthenshire, it's wise to top up your tank before leaving urban areas, as petrol stations can be less frequent in the countryside. Always keep an eye on your fuel gauge, especially when exploring the scenic Welsh landscapes around Llanelli in your hired car.

Are there any toll roads to be aware of when driving in the Carmarthenshire area?

Good news for those driving in Carmarthenshire – there are currently no toll roads in the immediate area around Llanelli or within the county itself. This makes exploring the region in your rental car more straightforward and cost-effective. However, if you're planning longer trips from Llanelli, be aware that there are some toll roads in other parts of Wales and the United Kingdom. For instance, if you're heading east towards England, you might encounter the Severn Bridge tolls when crossing into England. It's always wise to research your route beforehand, especially for longer journeys, to avoid any unexpected charges and ensure a smooth driving experience in your chosen vehicle.

What type of car is recommended for exploring the coastal areas near Llanelli?

For exploring the coastal areas near Llanelli, a versatile vehicle is ideal. A medium-sized car like a Ford Focus or similar offers a good balance of comfort, fuel efficiency, and manoeuvrability. These cars handle well on both town roads and coastal routes. If you're planning to venture onto more rugged terrain or carry outdoor equipment, consider a small SUV like a Ford Kuga. It provides extra space and better ground clearance, which can be beneficial on some coastal paths. For those prioritising fuel economy, a smaller car such as a Fiat 500 could be suitable for coastal drives, especially if you're mainly sticking to paved roads. Whatever your choice, ensure it's comfortable for longer drives as you explore Llanelli's beautiful coastline.

How should drivers prepare for various weather conditions when renting a car in Llanelli?

When renting a car in Llanelli, it's crucial to be prepared for the changeable Welsh weather. Ensure your vehicle is equipped with functioning windscreen wipers and demister for rainy days, which are common in this region. Check that the tyres have good tread depth for optimal grip on wet roads. In winter, be prepared for potential frost or light snow, although heavy snowfall is rare in Llanelli. Familiarise yourself with the car's heating and cooling systems before setting off. It's also wise to keep a warm layer and waterproof jacket in the car, as coastal weather can be unpredictable. Lastly, always check the local weather forecast before embarking on longer drives, especially if you're planning to explore the scenic countryside around Llanelli.

What are the best practices for driving safely on rural roads in Carmarthenshire?

When driving on rural roads in Carmarthenshire, safety should be your top priority. Be prepared for narrow lanes and blind corners by reducing your speed and staying alert. Watch out for wildlife, livestock, and farm vehicles, especially during dawn and dusk. Use passing places to allow oncoming traffic through on single-track roads, and be patient with slower vehicles. Ensure your headlights are clean and working properly, as many rural roads lack street lighting. In your hired car, familiarise yourself with controls like fog lights before setting off. Stay on designated roads and avoid unmade tracks unless your vehicle is suitable. Lastly, keep a charged mobile phone for emergencies, but never use it while driving. These practices will help ensure a safe and enjoyable exploration of Carmarthenshire's beautiful countryside.

Where can guests find convenient parking facilities in Llanelli town centre?

Llanelli town centre offers several convenient parking options for visitors. The multi-storey car park at St Elli Shopping Centre provides ample spaces and is centrally located for easy access to shops and amenities. For those preferring open-air parking, the Murray Street car park is another popular choice. If you're planning a longer stay, consider the long-stay car park at Church Street. Most car parks in Llanelli are pay-and-display, so ensure you have some coins handy or check if they accept card payments. When parking your rental car, always check the signage for any time restrictions or special conditions. Remember to lock your vehicle and avoid leaving valuables in sight.
