Recent reviews
The host was excellent throughout the whole process. Communication was very good, he was friendly and easy to deal with, and he made the whole car rental process simple and stress-free. Everything was straightforward from start to finish, and I would definitely rent from him again.
Great and easy car rental! Will definitely rent it again, Edith was great!
Car was great , great price for a central prick up and Pauline was a great host
The car was in excellent condition and super clean and well presented. Vivek was amiable, friendly and responsive. I needed to change the pick up time and then during the journey, the drop off time, and it wasn't any problem to get a response. Highly recommend the car and the courteous service!
Great experience! The drive was super smooth, and the Golf can easily manage about 143 miles on a single charge without any issues. Charging was completely hassle-free. Alhajie was incredibly helpful and lent us a Type 2 cable, which is great for cheaper charging (takes about 3-5 hours). If you are in a rush, just plug it into a fast charger for 40 minutes and you are good to go. Quick tip for future renters: If you want to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, make sure to bring your own data cable. The cables provided in the car are for charging only. The car does show some signs of wear and tear both inside and out, but it didn't bother us at all. Everything was awesome! Highly recommended.
Mo was professional and was a quick and efficient rental process. Thank you will be using again. If needed in future.
Moh was incredibly accommodating and was happy to deliver and pick up the car directly to and from my address. Communication was nice and simple and the ride was smooth!
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!)
I was surprisingly impressed with this car rental experience. Overall, I was really happy with the experience and would definitely rent again.
Excellent experience from start to finish. Micah was friendly, professional, and had great communication throughout the trip. The Audi A3 was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Pickup and drop-off were quick and easy, making the whole process hassle-free. I’d definitely rent from Micah again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable host and a great car.
Roy and the rest of the team at esco was very helpful and accommodating, this is one of the best if not the best rental I’ve taken out on Turo. Highly recommend, car was clean, good drive and the host was highly responsive
Great experience. Very good car. It was perfect for my trip. I will definitely rent again when needed. Pick-up and drop-off were very easy.
Fantastic car and an even better rental experience! It was spotless, clearly well looked after, and had loads of space for everything I needed. Everything worked exactly as it should, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend this host and this car. I would rent again without hesitation!
We had a great trip with Ibraheem’s car. The car was clean and working perfectly. We enjoyed the ac in the hot weather. Would rent again and highly recommend.
The car was excellent for our trip to the coast. It was clean, comfortable, and drove perfectly. Nazia was very friendly and helpful. She gave us clear instructions about the car and made the whole process easy. We had a great experience and would happily rent from her again.
