Daniel was freaking awesome man I 10/10 Recommend him ANYTIME YOU NEED A CAR we literally wish he was in other states so we could book through him .. his communication, effort and response time was flawless anytime we needed him or had any questions he was like Johnny on the spot ready to help out helped us extend our car time due to our changed flight and upgraded us to an Mercedes SUV after our original Mercedes had got into a crash and kept the same price so we wouldn’t get up charged .. a very personable and respectable man me and my girlfriend loved this guy and will be booking again in the future if your looking to rent a car HE’S YOUR GUY TO GO TO!!

Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class 2019

We would like to thank Carlos and Laci for providing such a great vehicle. Thanks to this car, we were able to spend Mothers Day shuttling our elderly family members around in luxury to enjoy the day to the fullest. The Mercedes is in excellent condition, drove perfectly, and caused no issues during the entire rental period. The owner was responsive, answered all our questions quickly, and was very helpful throughout the process, especially during the turn in process where my old phone was not cooperating. Host expertly assisted in getting this mission accomplished. The SUV was exactly as advertised. As the need arises, we will be back to rent from this wonderful Host again! Thanks...

Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class 2020

I recently rented the 2022 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 from Anatolie. The booking process was easy and the customer service was helpful. The vehicle I received was clean/well-maintained and a full tank of gas. The pickup/drop-off process was smooth. One thing I really liked was affordability, variety of fleet cars Anatolie with, fuel efficiency. However, I think they could improve on better discounts for 3-7days. I will note I was personally offered a discount from Anatolie. I had the vechile from 2/22-3/7/25 ( I did requested to extend multiple times and I think I received $20 off to extend for two more days after Turo fees). Overall, I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking to rent a car. Nonetheless, I was very satisfied with the 2022 GLC 300 Mercedes ( I drive the 2018 and definitely am considering upgrading to this one). My rating: 5 stars!! Also I was offered a huge discount on my reservation with Anatolie. Thank you for your great customer service Anatolie I took good care of the vehicle and replaced the fuel looking forward to doing business again. God Bless!

Danny was an amazing host from start to finish. Super friendly, available, accommodating, and made everything very easy for me. The Mercedes S550e was incredibly comfortable, smooth to drive, and had great gas mileage as well. You can tell he really cares about making sure everything goes perfectly. I’m visiting from Paris, France, and when I come back to California, I’ll most likely rent this car again. Thanks again Danny!

Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 2012

I had an absolutely fantastic experience renting this car. From start to finish, this luxury SUV delivered comfort, space, and smooth performance – everything you'd expect from a Mercedes. with a clean interior and strong engine performance. Despite being a 2012 model, it drove like a dream, with quiet handling and plenty of power for highway cruising. The **spacious cabin** made it perfect for my family, and the trunk had more than enough room for luggage. Kristof provided clear and helpful instructions, including the easy-to-follow return If you're looking for a **reliable, comfortable, and premium SUV rental**, I highly recommend Kristof’s Mercedes GL-Class. Five stars all around – I’d rent this again in a heartbeat!

I had an excellent experience renting this Mercedes GLE! The car drove beautifully — smooth, powerful, quiet, and surprisingly comfortable for both city and highway driving. It felt premium in every way and made the whole trip more enjoyable. The host was great to work with, and I was able to drop the car off two hours early with no issues. Everything was clean and ready to go when I picked it up too. I would happily rent this exact car again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury SUV on Turo.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2020

I rented this Mercedes for a little over a month, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The car was immaculate when I picked it up — spotless inside and out, extremely well-maintained, and drove like an absolute dream. It was reliable, smooth, luxurious, and made every trip feel first-class. The host was equally outstanding: professional, responsive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire rental period. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and the whole process was seamless. After driving this car for over a month, I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a luxury vehicle that’s stylish, comfortable, and dependable, this is the one. I would absolutely rent from this host again and highly recommend both the car and the experience to anyone considering it.

The car was in immaculate condition and the host was as pristine as a United States Marine in uniform and very professional. His car is a direct reflection of his character. It’s a one of kind and worth the rental to drive in style… it’s a special addition and special trim Mercedes too! Very classy and blends in the elite cars, like Bentleys and Royal Royces. Will rent again!!!
