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!

Nissan Altima 2025

The Nissan Altima was great. Good mpg, clean, lots of power, great response time. The car needed to be picked up at an off site location called, economy car rental at 2367 India street. A proximity 2 1/2 miles from the airport. You will need to find a ride to their location. The price of taxi will be $30, however we took the free shuttle to the car rental center then walked 20 minutes the rest of the way. The team at this location did a great job, fast, friendly, polite, and after returning they able to offer a ride back to the airport. We would rent this Altima again, and I would recommend this vehicle.

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!

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.

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

Things to do and places to see in Reno, NV

Welcome to Reno, where the Truckee River runs as wild as the nightlife and the mountains invite you for an extended luxury SUV joyride. From downtown Reno's neon charm to the serenity of Lake Tahoe, there’s something here for every kind of explorer. Here are three must-see attractions to kickstart your adventure:

Rent the perfect car
Reno, NV

Lake Tahoe

A short drive from Reno, Lake Tahoe is a stunning natural wonder. With its crystal-clear waters and majestic mountains, it's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Rent a premium luxury SUV on Turo and explore the lake's many beaches, hiking trails, and water sports opportunities. Don't miss the chance to rent a boat or kayak and spend a day on the water.

Truckee Riverwalk

Stretch your legs and sip a latte (or a craft beer) while strolling the Truckee Riverwalk in downtown Reno. This lively spot is lined with eateries, shops, and art installations that capture the city's eclectic vibe. A midsize sport luxury sedan is the perfect choice to glide into the heart of it all.

Reno Arch

No visit to Reno is complete without snapping a selfie under the iconic Reno Arch. The arch has been a part of Reno's skyline for decades and has undergone several restorations to maintain its historic charm. A beacon of the city’s vibrant energy, it’s a must-see for first-timers. Park your rental car nearby and revel in the charm that makes Reno unforgettable.

Top tips for renting a car in Reno


From downtown Reno's flashing lights to Lake Tahoe's picturesque shores, rental cars are your ticket to exploring the wonders of the "Biggest Little City" and beyond. With Turo, you won't be stuck at airport car rental counters or limited cookie-cutter car rental options. Unlike an old-school rental car company, renting through Turo means you can cruise in a vehicle that suits your vibe, budget, and itinerary. Here’s how to make your Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) car rental experience as smooth as a Tahoe shoreline.


How does airport pickup work at Reno International Airport?


Turo’s streamlined process makes airport pickups at RNO effortless. Once your booking is confirmed, your host will coordinate a pickup from one of the designated Overflow/Blue parking lot spots, or an in-person handoff at the Rideshare loading zone.


Just exit baggage claim, follow the airport signs, and meet your host in person. No rental counter queues or complicated rental agreements here — just grab the keys and start your adventure.


How does drop-off work at Reno International Airport?


Returning your car is equally hassle-free. Park the vehicle in one of the three "Peer to Peer Carsharing" spots in the Overflow/Blue parking lot (they're marked in red). Use Turo messaging to confirm the exact drop-off location with your host. Whether you’re dropping off a sports car or a family-friendly SUV, rest assured the process is seamless.


How far is Reno International Airport from Downtown Reno?


RNO is a breezy 15-minute drive from downtown Reno — just 5 miles of open road separating you from all the action. With a premium luxury sedan or an electric luxury SUV, you’ll glide into the city with plenty of time to check out the Truckee Riverwalk or snag a photo under the Reno Arch.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Reno?


In Reno, driving is pretty straightforward, but there are a few quirks. Keep to the right-hand side (like everywhere in the US), stick to the 65 mph speed limit on highways (lower in urban areas), and beware of wildlife near Lake Tahoe. Reno’s dry climate and well-maintained roads make for smooth cruising, but watch out for icy conditions in winter. Oh, and never text while driving — it’s a big no-no.


What is parking like in Reno?


Parking in Reno is smooth and stress-free. Downtown Reno has metered parking, and the city’s public garages like the El Dorado Parking Garage on 325 N Sierra St, or the Liberty Parking Garage on 50 W Liberty St offer reasonable rates.


If you’re visiting South Lake Tahoe, free parking is common near trailheads and public beaches. Whether you’re navigating city streets or scenic overlooks, your rental car (whether it's a luxury SUV or full-size luxury sedan) will find a home.


Are there toll roads in Reno?


Good news: Reno doesn’t believe in nickel-and-diming drivers. There are no toll roads in the area, so your trip to Lake Tahoe or Carson City won’t come with surprise fees. Just follow the clear road signs, and enjoy the journey.


Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Reno?


You’ll find plenty of petrol stations scattered throughout Reno and near RNO. For EV drivers, charging stations are available at Meadowood Mall, several hotels, and even some downtown parking garages. Whether you’re cruising in a classic car or a hybrid SUV, powering up is a breeze.


Do I need to rent a car in Reno?


Absolutely. Public transport options are limited, and if you want to experience all that Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Napa Valley have to offer, a car is essential. Renting a car in Reno lets you explore at your own pace, skip waiting for buses, and reach those hidden gems off the beaten path.


What rental car types can I find on Turo in Reno?


Choose from a sedan like a Tesla Model 3 or Mercedes-Benz C-Class, an SUV like a Tesla Model X or Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, or even a Ford Mustang Mach-E. Popular car classes rented on Turo include trucks, vans, EVs and everything in between — perfect for cruising the Truckee River or heading to the slopes. With Turo, whatever your needs, there’s a car to match your Reno itinerary.


How much does it cost to rent a car in Reno?


The cost of car rental in Reno can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rentals in Reno, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

At which airports can I pick up my car on Turo?

Turo has agreements and pilot programs in place with a number of airports across the United States, and we’re always working hard to secure arrangements at even more airports to make your transition between air travel and car travel as smooth as possible, no matter what city.

Currently, Turo has agreements with some regional and international airports in at least 24 US states. The group of airports where Turo has airport pickup permits for guests may change, so refer to the link below for an up-to-date list.

List of airport locations

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.

When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
