Excellent experience from start to finish! The car was spotless, well-maintained, and had no issues at all. Communication was outstanding—I could reach the host anytime and always received a quick, friendly response. They were also very accommodating and allowed me to return the car at my preferred location, which made my trip much easier. Professional, kind, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire rental. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone.
This was my first time using Turo and having looked at reviews online I was a bit apprehensive about using the service. However, Simon was amazing from the very begining all the way until I handed the keys back. He was incredibly helpful, answered every question I had and made the whole process effortless. The car itself was wonderful, spotlessly clean and exactly as described. It drove perfectly throughout my trip to Salisbury and Bath. Simon made what could have been a stressful first experience into an excellent one. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and if you’re considering renting one of his cars…i can wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you again Simon!
This rental trip was excellent. No issues with the vehicle. Other than some minor grunts and groans as would be expected for a car of this age, it didn't miss a beat over a lengthy 3 week trip. Generous mileage allowance. The aircon did struggle a bit in the summer heatwave! Friendly, no fuss host. Pickup/drop off location is relatively close to Heathrow which suited us too. All in all a great experience- thanks !
Car was clean and in great condition. Very smooth pickup and drop off. Host was nice. Will rent again for sure!
I had an excellent experience with Stef throughout the trip! The pickup and drop off were easy and he was very accommodating. The car was perfect for a longer trip to Wales, with no issues. Would definitely recommend booking this car for your next travels!
It was a wonderful and easy and well communicated, peaceful trip we had, with no hassle of returning and picking up. Everything went smoothly. Looking forward to book the car again for the next trip. And thank once for the refreshments provided.

Mushtaq's car was the perfect little car for our trip to the UK. Excellent on gas and easy to drive. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.
The trip, car and service were once again 10/10. These guys are really good and always quick to respond. I can't fault them at all. They're the only company I'll be using from now on. Thanks again, Imran! – Kieren C
The car was excellent, clean and in great shape!! Pranav was a superb host, quick communication when needed!! Last minute we realized we had selected the wrong airport for pickup and Pranav was flexible and adjusted the pickup and drop off location. Most Turo hosts I’ve worked with were purely transactional with an added bit of worry or nickel and diming for added cleaning fees…not Pranav!!! Truly a one of. A kind host and experience. 11/10 would recommend to anyone who will be booking in the area. Ended up chatting with Pranav after the trip and we were on the phone for 2 hours just chatting it up about life. Never before would I have thought to call a host here a friend but Pranav changed that. He provided wonderful customer service and professionalism. I can’t thank him enough for this experience and look forward to booking again next time I am in the area!! If you are considering booking through Pranav the choice should be easy!!!
Mushtaq was very friendly and helpful. A great car and a great rental experience ☺️
Really nice car well maintained and clean. Easy to pick up and drop off. The host was very responsive and friendly. If you have an ongoing trip and you want to travel in style highly recommending!
Gordon’s car was a great rental! It was a spacious and comfortable interior, and it got great MPG! Pick up and drop off was great, and Gordon was very accommodating and made the experience go very smoothly.
Great people and the car was awesome would highly recommend the rental really was a good experience
Good car, I had a nice trip with my friends, and everything it's functional 🙌🏻
Had a great experience with this car rental. The owner was extremely prompt, professional, and very easy to communicate with. The car was delivered on time and was spotless — clearly very well maintained and cleaned before handover. The whole process was smooth and hassle-free, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Really appreciate the attention to detail and the effort to ensure everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent again. ⭐️
Great car, easy to drive and plenty of room for luggage! Jordan was super responsive and flexible when I needed to extend my trip.
