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.
Overall, a solid car rental experience. The booking process was seamless, and the car was reliable, and drove perfectly.
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.
“Great experience renting this car. The car was in good condition, clean, and well maintained. Dan was very friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process. Pickup and return were smooth. I would definitely rent again.”
One of the cleanest rental cars I’ve ever used. Huge thanks to Chieka for maintaining the car so well. You can genuinely see the care and standards put into it. Will definitely be renting again in the future. Highly recommended!
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
The car is fantastic and Natasha was amazing. We met her at the meeting place, went through the vehicle and went off on our trip to the Lake District. She was very communicative for the return, and handover was great! Highly recommend!
David was superb, both pick up and drop was swift, car was in great condition, drivability was smooth, and good mileage. I'd definitely rent back.
Great car, really nice to drive on the motorway. Clean and full of little bits to make the journey easier- like screens and cameras. Host was also super accommodating when we needed to change the time slightly. Would recommend ( and will also rent again!)
Great car, beautiful. Very powerful when needed, owner is very helpful. Will definitely rent again for special occasions.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. The car was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and drove perfectly.

Mohammad was very easy to deal with and the car was as advertised. Would use again.
The car was good I liked the condition except for few things that’s towards the end of the journey which was clarified by the owner also pickup and drop was feasible Syed was so flexible and chilled. Loved the trip
Car was in perfect condition, no problems at all with the rental and would use again. Be aware that you will probably need to factor in the price of a car wash which is £5 nearby.
