Without a doubt one of the best Turo experiences I've ever had. Robert was an exceptional host from start to finish, friendly, professional, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Communication was effortless, and he made both collection and return completely seamless. The green BMW convertible was absolutely stunning. It arrived in immaculate condition, drove beautifully, and turned heads everywhere we went. Whether cruising through scenic roads or simply enjoying the top-down experience, the car made the trip truly memorable. Robert clearly takes immense pride in both his vehicle and the experience he provides. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and would highly recommend both Robert and his beautiful BMW convertible to anyone looking for a first-class Turo experience. Thank you for making our trip so special!
Incredible trip. Stephen was so helpful in making sure we had smooth logistics for an extended use of his car. The car itself drove very nicely and had great fuel economy. Thanks for everything, Stephen
Car was perfect for driving around Scotland, fuel efficient and easy to drive. The host was flexible and nice to work with, a little late on the drop off and return, but he made sure we got the time back at no charge.
Lovely car pickup and service by Derek. Everything went smooth and well. Would host again with him in the future.
Kris was very helpful, on time, and reasonable. Car was a nice drive too. Very spacious and comfortable.
Easy transaction, smooth communication, nice car.. Would definitely book again!
Super little car. Straightforward and in great condition all round. Irynia is a friendly and professional, thoughtful renter. Great communication. I'm an Edinburgh resident and will happily hire from her again! 😊
Perfect! Easily the best car rental I've ever had in multiple countries. I'll never rent from the big companies again. Professional and kind.
Easy pickup and great communication. Would rent this vehicle again without a problem.
Waqas was a great host. He maintained easy communication and was responsive. His car was great. It was clean, well maintained and a joy to drive!
Great experience with Shaz. He was very flexible with the collection and drop off - even dropped the keys to us the night before. The car was great, no issues at all.
Car is in great condition, we went to highlands for 3 days we didn’t get any problem , pickup location is just 10 mnts from train station ,host is good and response is quick ,absolutely recommended .
Alan and his Fiat is incredible! When I ran into tire trouble, Alan was a lifesaver and shelled in every way he could. With the small Scottish roads, you want a little car and a great host — you’ll get both with Alan :)
Well maintained and clean car! I would definitely recommend for those windy Edinburgh roads. Host was very communicative and accommodating even to last minute changes.
Shaz was a great host. Easy to communicate with and very responsive. Great car as well plus very fuel efficient on long drives.
Waqas was friendly from the very beginning and maintained excellent communication throughout the trip. The pickup location was convenient, and he guided me clearly to find it without any issues. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was during Storm Dave, when many cars, including ours, got stuck due to severe conditions and heavy congestion. Our car like few others unfortunately slid off the curb in narrow roads of Isle of skye, causing some damage to the underside. I informed Waqas immediately, and his response stood out — he remained calm, checked on our safety first, and handled the situation with understanding and empathy. At the end of the trip, he resolved everything smoothly and professionally, even taking care of the process himself without burdening me with unnecessary paperwork. This level of trust and fairness is rare, especially compared to some hosts who might escalate such situations unnecessarily. I would highly recommend Waqas as a host — reliable, understanding, and genuinely human in his approach.
Discovering East Lothian's coastal treasures and Edinburgh's historic landmarks
East Lothian offers spectacular coastal drives along rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and charming fishing villages that stretch from Musselburgh to North Berwick.

Ample parking near the harbour makes it easy to explore the beaches, while the scenic coastal road offers stunning views of the Firth of Forth islands.
Musselburgh's historic racecourse and ancient heritage

The town's historic high street features traditional Scottish architecture and local shops selling regional specialities. Convenient parking throughout the town centre allows easy exploration of the historic sites and the beautiful stretch of coastline that borders the community.
