Renault TWINGO II 2014

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!

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!

I had an excellent experience renting from this host and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and smooth car rental experience. The vehicle was extremely clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Communication was outstanding from start to finish. The host was friendly, professional, responsive, and made both pickup and drop-off incredibly easy and convenient. The car drove perfectly and made my trip stress-free and enjoyable. It’s clear the host takes great care of both their vehicles and their customers. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and overall professionalism throughout the rental process. I would absolutely rent from this host again in the future and highly recommend them to others looking for a top-quality rental experience.

Hyundai Accent 2017

Rented this last minute because my Mom didn't tell me until the day before my trip that she had no car. Was pretty easy for the most part. Finding the shuttle at the airport for the car rental area, was a little difficult for me. But you can always ask someone at the airport. Then I followed Turo given directions to the car. It's outside of the rental area but still easy to find because the lot is literally labeled "Turo." As for the car, I DID NOT MIND these "problems" with the car at all, but you should be informed that the car: Cons - Smelled INTENSELY LIKE WEED. I tried to spray it with multiple Febreze, etc. It helped but it still stinks a bit. - The car door lock was extremely finicky, you must PRESS AND HOLD the button it seems. - Crumbs in the backseat (no big deal) - Not sure but seems like occasional light scraping sound sometimes when driving around on normal road. - Not a problem per se, but just know the car has quite a bit of scratches compared to other Turo rentals. Just be sure to document as much as you can. Pros - Good Value for the price - ICE COLD A/C. (Although I visited in winter, so idk how it holds up to the Vegas heat, but again better than my childhood cars with zero A/C) - Pretty quiet car overall (I mention the scrape for the owner to consider getting it checked out, but nothing to make you feel embarrassed while driving.) Overall, I grew up poor, and this car was much better than most of the ones of my childhood, so I didn't mind at all. Just tried my best to document them that's all. But anyone renting who these things might bother should be aware of it. Anyways, thank you so much Nick!!! I would definitely rent again!

Subaru Outback 2013

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.

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

Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2026

“10/10 experience. I rented the car for a week and the total came out to around $400, which was an amazing price for a brand new 2026 vehicle. The entire process was incredibly easy from start to finish. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient, and I loved that I didn’t have to physically meet or talk to anyone. The key was waiting in a lockbox by the window, which honestly made the experience even better for me. The car itself was spotless, smelled clean, and drove perfectly. It was also amazing on gas — I drove all the way through Saturday and the tank was only halfway. The host responded quickly to messages and was super helpful the entire time. Overall, this was one of the easiest and best rental experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely rent from them again and honestly would choose this over Enterprise or Hertz any day

Fandi and our cohost provided excellent communication throughout the process. Our car, 2020 Honda Insight was clean and in good working order. Performance was good around the hills and mountains in the greater San Francisco area. The drop off at the San Jose airport was excellent. Why go to the “normal” car rental companies!

How can drivers navigate peak hour traffic effectively when exploring central London from Tooting?

Navigating central London's peak hour traffic from Tooting requires some savvy planning. Consider using real-time traffic apps to avoid congestion hotspots and find alternative routes. Timing is crucial - aim to start your journey before 7 am or after 9:30 am to miss the morning rush. If possible, plan your return to Tooting after 7 pm to avoid evening congestion. Utilise the extensive network of bus lanes, which are often less congested during peak hours. When driving your rental car in central London, be aware of the Congestion Charge zone and plan accordingly. Parking can be challenging, so research park and ride facilities on the outskirts of central London. This strategy allows you to leave your car hire in a secure location and use public transport for the final leg of your journey, making your exploration of London's bustling centre much more relaxed.

Which car types are recommended for driving in Tooting and the surrounding areas of Greater London?

For driving in Tooting and Greater London, compact or mid-size cars are often the most practical choice. These vehicles offer a good balance of manoeuvrability for navigating narrow streets and adequate space for passengers and luggage. If you're planning longer trips outside the city, consider a comfortable saloon or estate car for added comfort and storage. For those concerned about environmental impact, electric or hybrid vehicles are excellent options, with an increasing number of charging points available across Greater London. SUVs can provide a commanding view of the road, but be mindful of their size when parking in busy areas. Ultimately, the best car rental choice depends on your specific needs, whether you're commuting within Tooting or exploring the diverse landscapes of Greater London.

Where can guests find convenient parking facilities when visiting popular attractions near Tooting?

When visiting popular attractions near Tooting with your rental car, several convenient parking options are available. Many attractions offer on-site parking, but these can fill up quickly, especially during peak times. Consider using park and ride facilities on the outskirts of busier areas, which often provide more affordable rates and a stress-free way to reach your destination. For visits to central London, utilise secure car parks in less congested areas and combine with public transport for the final leg. Many residential areas near Tooting have pay-and-display street parking, but always check local signage for restrictions. Some attractions offer pre-bookable parking spaces, which can be a great way to ensure a spot for your car hire. Remember to factor in parking costs when planning your day trips from Tooting to make the most of your Greater London adventure.

What should drivers know about toll roads and charges when traveling from Tooting to other parts of England?

When venturing from Tooting to other parts of England in your rental car, it's important to be aware of various charges and toll roads. While most roads in England are free to use, there are exceptions. The most notable for London drivers is the Congestion Charge zone in central London, which operates on weekdays and weekends. If your journey takes you further afield, you may encounter toll roads such as the M6 Toll in the Midlands. Some river crossings, like the Dartford Crossing, also require payment. It's advisable to research your route in advance and plan for any potential charges. Many of these tolls can be paid online, often with a time limit after your journey. Keep in mind that some car hire agreements may have specific terms regarding toll charges, so it's wise to clarify this before setting off on your English adventure from Tooting.

Are there any challenging driving areas or situations to be aware of in Greater London's busy streets?

Driving in Greater London can present unique challenges, particularly for those unfamiliar with the area. One of the most notable is the complex system of bus lanes, which operate at specific times and can result in fines if used incorrectly. Roundabouts, especially multi-lane ones, can be tricky to navigate for the uninitiated. Be particularly cautious in areas with high pedestrian activity, such as markets or shopping districts. Narrow streets in older parts of London may require careful manoeuvring, especially when parking. Cyclists are prevalent, so always check your blind spots and give them ample space. During rush hours, key arterial roads can become heavily congested, so plan your journeys accordingly. Lastly, be aware of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in central London, which may affect your car rental choice. Staying alert and planning your routes can help make your driving experience in Greater London smoother and more enjoyable.

How can guests locate reliable petrol stations in and around Tooting for their rental car?

Finding reliable petrol stations for your rental car in and around Tooting is relatively straightforward. Many major supermarkets in the area, such as Sainsbury's and Tesco, have on-site petrol stations that often offer competitive prices. These are typically easy to access and can be combined with a shopping trip. For 24-hour options, look for larger service stations along main roads leading out of Tooting. It's advisable to use smartphone apps or GPS systems to locate the nearest petrol stations, as these can provide real-time information on prices and availability. When planning longer trips from Tooting, it's wise to identify petrol stations along your route, particularly in more rural areas where they may be less frequent. Remember to check your car hire agreement for any specific fuelling requirements or preferences to ensure a smooth experience when refuelling your vehicle during your stay in Greater London.

What are some essential tips for long-distance driving from Tooting to other parts of England?

When embarking on long-distance drives from Tooting to other parts of England, preparation is key. First, ensure your rental car is suitable for extended journeys and familiarise yourself with its features before setting off. Plan your route in advance, considering potential rest stops and places of interest along the way. It's advisable to avoid peak travel times to minimise congestion, especially when leaving Greater London. Take regular breaks to stay alert, aiming to stop every two hours or so. Be prepared for varying weather conditions, particularly if your journey takes you to more rural or coastal areas. Keep important documents, including your driving licence and car hire paperwork, easily accessible. Lastly, consider joining a national breakdown service for added peace of mind during your long-distance adventure from Tooting to the diverse landscapes of England.
