Derrick was a considerate host. He brought the truck in great good condition. It drives well and amazing on gas (gas prices are ridiculously now). He was easy to get a hold of and allowed me to modify the trip easily.
This kia was in great condition. Very clean. My pick up was simple and quick. Janae responded quickly and was pleasant. This was me and my families first time using turo. I hope every host is close to our first one. Also I do want to mention that rental car prices are so high right now. But turo helped us to find something similar to what we have and it was within our budget. Thank you.
I love Turo! I have low credit, so everytime I rent a car I have to put down a security deposit. Plus since I have no credit card, I dont even qualify for high end vehicles like f 150s and big SUVs. Also since it's the summer after covid restrictions, all rental companies doubled their rates! Turo saved my vacation and gave me an affordable alternative and everything worked out great! This will be the wave of the future! Thank you turo!
FIRST TIME TURO DRIVER: Livid is AMAZING. I booked with Livid a month early. My original reservation was cancelled by Turo (at midnight, the night before pickup) because of a last minute (literally) safety recall by Jeep. My family and I were forced to find a new reservation (for twice the price) with less than 24h before our trip was to start. The recall was just as much of a surprise to Livid as it was to us. Her team got everything settled on the same day and was able to get us back into her Jeep at the original booking cost. I can’t say enough how fantastic this service was. Every time I fly back to Detroit, Livid will be my Go-To Host!! There aren’t enough stars to rate it fairly. 100 billion stars!
Amazing trip back home to Detroit. Gregory and company have amazing customer service and ensure renters have the best possible experience. Because of this impeccable customer service experience, Turo and Gregory will be exclusive to my future trips to the 313. Thanks!
This was my first experience with absolutely marvelous service with an amazing automobile selected. I highly recommend that more people should try this service before heading to the same old standard rental companies waiting in long lines and encountering unnecessary delays and unavailable vehicles seeking to rent. Everything was so easy and smoothly
Jenae was awesome, communication, pick up time and location we’re all on time. The telluride rode smooth, no issues at all. I will highly recommend and rent from Jenae again
James was great!!! I really appreciated the fast responses and easy delivery/drop-off. James, is also a very nice guy and was interested in my experience. Rent this jeep!!!…it’s surprisingly responsive….you will appreciate that in Detroit. good experience and whenever I’m in town I will be renting from him. I stayed an extra day and that was no problem. Great experience…

This was my second time renting this particular car. It is perfect for my needs. It handles well on the road and gets great mileage. Sohaib is always accommodating—a great host. Now, I prefer to use Turo service instead of the other car rental services.
Adam met us at the airport in Detroit and was great to work with. His Mom and brother helped out and they were very helpful. We had a tight window to catch a flight on the way home and Adam was right where he said he would be and was there early, which we needed for the drop off. Thanks Adam. It was nice to meet you and use your great Jeep.
The Wrangler is a great car and rode nice on the highway. My only complaint would be the premium gas it requires during this spike in prices wasn’t ideal for a road trip. The host was great. Kind of slow on responding though.
