Best experience I’ve had with the TURO car rental process. Communication was 5 star. Paul is a true professional. I had no problems with the car throughout the week. I was confident that if anything went wrong, he would be available with a list of trouble shooting instructions. Great price, great car, great communication.
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!
Directions were very precise for both pick up and return (although I didn't realize there was an additional step to checkout in Turo). Car drove great and it was perfect for our trip. Will definitely rent via Jonathan if we are back in PHX. Better experience than renting from the big car rental companies
Kush was flexible and kind. Making the pickup and last minute car rental process easy!

I love the rental cars from Mohammed. He and his staff is friendly and helpful. The cars are small and good at gas. I would suggest anyone to rent a car with Mohammed.

First, I contemplated leaving a 4 star review for a few reasons. However, the prompt response to the issue with the original vehicle reserved, partly due to luck that someone happened to be onsite with the car, and the flexibility with returning the vehicle without requiring washing and vacuuming is deserving of some grace. The price for 5 day/4 night rental was fantastic, around $150 total. I certainly didn't expect a car in pristine shape for the cost. This car is a part of a Turo "rental company" fleet. It seems like a company that buys cheap, used cars to rent out. There are 12-15 cars parked behind a strip mall 8-10ish minutes from the airport in an area I was glad we were picking up and dropping off midday rather than the evening. The hybrid we originally reserved had stained seats and a lot of cosmetic wear. One tire looked like it was on a spare wheel and didn't have a lot of life left, honestly. A lot of the roads in San Diego aren't exactly in great shape, I was concerned about getting a flat. When we turned the car on to leave we immediately got check engine lights and a "pull over immediately" message. Fortunately, someone with the "rental company" was on site and qas able to quickly switched cars for us. It wasn't a hybrid, though. We didn't plan on a lot of driving, but originally opted for a hybrid to save money since we had two days of freeway driving. We definitely spent more on gas then originally planned. If there wasn't someone available onsite to help, it could have been a much longer ordeal which is a terrible way to start a vacation. Communication day of pick up felt slow with the owner. I didn't think to look back to the 2 month old message about how to find the car. I received a message from Turo saying we'd be sent details the day before the trip. I never got that confirmation text or measage the day before or day of pick up from the actual rental owner. When I first reached out to the rental company through the turo app to find the car at pick up time, I didn't get a response. I finally found a way to text someone about 20 minutes later. We did get a pretty quick response that way, but it's frustrating to be in a random parking lot messaging through an app and not get a response. The Honda interior is definitely cleaner than the hybrid we reserved, but the exterior, not so much. Its been side swiped and has a lot of sun damage. The TPMS light was on the whole time, but the actual tire pressure was fine. There was also a rattle and grinding noise when accelerating from a stop or on a hill, but it didn't cause an issue. The car drives fine for a 14-15 year old car, it's just a little noisy and you feel all the bumps on the road. I understand with the cheaper cost of renting through Turo amd choosing a 12-15 year old car, I'm not getting a newer car like I would with a standard rental company or paying more for a newer car. That said, with my last few Turo rentals, it feels a lot of these Turo "rental companies" aren't checking their cars or doing much more than standard maintenance as frequently as they should when they have over 150,000 miles on them. The confirmation message also suggested the cars are kept in great shape. These cars were not in great shape by any stretch of the imagination. No one wants to be on vacation and have their car break down or even be worried that the car they're driving is gonna get a flat or break down.

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.

Easy pickup and drop off, saved us when the car rental companies ran out of cars at the airport.
This was the BEST car rental process ! Jerry communication and response time was impossible. The rental was clean, great on gas, and ran great. I extended my trip once and will be booking with them again!!! Thank you Jerry!

Solid rental experience. Car was as described. Had no issues and the host was communicative when I needed to change the reservation by a few days or hours. Super convenient location near the airport. Best price for the amount of time I needed it which was about 2 weeks. Will definitely rent again when I'm in town.
First time user here. Easy peasy. Good vehicle. so glad I did this than a complicated rental for a day trip with regular car rental companies.

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.
Car was very clean and smelled good. Great condition. It was a good a smooth drive. Mo, was very responsive. I am very new to Turo and he was very patient with me. Thank you for giving these car rental companies a run for their money. It was an easy and pleasant experience!
The car rental process was flawless. The host was very pleasant and patience with me as this was my first time. The car was clean and great on gas. The trip was smooth with no issues. Thank you. I will absolutely use his services again.

Tennessee towns range from big and bustling to small and sweet, offering something for every kind of traveler.

If Memphis is the birthplace of rock 'n' roll, then Nashville is where country music really got its start – and decades later, it's become a shrine to some of the best artists in history. During your visit to the Music City, take in a concert at the Grand Ole Opry, easily the most legendary venue in the US. Then, hit up the Country Music Hall of Fame to learn more about the icons that shaped the industry. Of course, there are other sights to see in Nashville, too, including museums, honky-tonk bars, and restaurants serving up mouth-watering hot chicken and Nashville-style barbecue.
On the North Carolina-Tennessee border, you'll find Great Smoky Mountains National Park – a natural wonder comprised of rolling hills, towering clifftops, and free-flowing waterfalls and streams. As the most visited national park in the United States, the Great Smoky Mountains has a reputation for being family-friendly, with over 850 miles of hiking trails spanning all difficulty levels. As well as camping and wildlife spotting, it's also a great place to take a scenic drive, so be sure to rent a car that's up to the task, like an all-wheel drive or compact SUV.
No trip to Tennessee is complete without visiting Graceland, the family home and final resting place of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley himself. Located in south Memphis, just a short drive from the downtown area, Graceland has been turned into a museum and historical site that's open for daily public viewings. Here, you can see the Presley family plot where Elvis is buried, and explore the mansion's gorgeous grounds and beautiful interiors up close while you learn more about his life and contributions to the fabric of rock 'n' roll.

When you book with Turo, you'll have your pick of hundreds of convenient rental locations in Tennessee. Cruise through big cities with glittering reputations, or take the road less traveled as you explore smaller gems like Clarksville and Murfreesboro.
If you're jetting into the Music City, make things easy for yourself by collecting your Tennessee car rental at Nashville International Airport. Once you've landed, there's no need to linger at the busy airport car rental counter. Instead, you'll be able to head straight to one of the approved airport parking lots (Terminal Lot A, Economy Lot B, or Economy Lot C) to collect your vehicle and begin your adventure.
Hit the road in the Home of the Blues by organizing a rental car that's ready for you once you land at Memphis International Airport. When you use Turo, you can disembark your flight, breeze through baggage claim, and meet your host or collect your car from a pre-arranged location just outside of the airport grounds. None of the fuss, all of the freedom.
Top Tennessee cities like Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga blend Southern charm with modern mindsets, making them both popular cities to move to and great picks for a vacation. Once you know where you're headed, use Turo's search filters to narrow down by pickup locations, such as popular accommodation spots and local landmarks downtown.
Knowing the roads before you go is paramount when driving anywhere new, even in a state as relaxed and friendly as Tennessee. Give yourself the best shot at a stress-free visit by brushing up on major road rules and getting your bearings first – here are our top tips.
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through an approval process by entering your driver’s license information by providing a photo of it and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!
When driving in Tennessee, always stick to the state's road rules to stay safe and avoid any fines. Basic laws include driving on the right-hand side of the road, obeying road signage and speed limits, using your turn signal when turning, merging, or changing lanes, wearing a seatbelt, and only using your phone hands-free. Tennessee, like many other states, has enacted a "Hands-Free" law that prohibits holding your phone while driving.
Speed limits throughout Tennessee will vary from city to city, but as a guide, they start at 30 miles per hour (mph) on residential roads. Undivided roads carry a general speed limit of 55 mph, whereas divided roads are usually capped at 65 mph. You can speed up a little on freeways, with a typical limit of 70 mph.
While Tennessee doesn't have too many unique road rules, there are a couple of laws that aren't utilised in every US state to be aware of. Tennessee was the 30th state to implement the "Move Over Law", which requires drivers to change lanes or reduce their speeds when passing by a stationary emergency or utility vehicle with its hazard lights turned on on the side of the road. The Volunteer State has also adopted the "Slow Poke Law", which prohibits driving in the left-hand lane unless you're trying to overtake another vehicle; otherwise, you must always stick to the right-hand lanes.
Tennessee's weather really varies year-round – think light snowfall in the winter, blistering heat in the summer, and rain and thunderstorms in the shoulder seasons. Always drive prepared by carrying an emergency kit in your trunk, and don't get behind the wheel if weather conditions are severe. Snow and ice don't tend to get too out-of-control in the winter, but on occasion, you may need to utilise snow tires or chains for better traction on the roads, especially if you're venturing to a rural area like the Great Smoky Mountains.
There are no toll roads in the entire state of Tennessee, so you can navigate the area freely in your rental car without a worry. If you do plan on crossing into one of the eight states that border Tennessee, though, be sure to check whether they have any tollways to avoid being caught out!
Locking in a car rental in Tennessee isn't 100% necessary if you're just visiting big cities like Memphis and Nashville, but if you plan on exploring the state more widely, it's a must-do. From behind the wheel of your own rental car, you'll have the freedom to see natural wonders up close, drive down iconic roads like Memphis's Beale Street, and visit major attractions at your own pace. It's particularly helpful to have your own car rental in Tennessee if you want to visit the Great Smoky Mountains, as they can be hard to reach without driving.
- Vacation car rental: Major cities like Nashville and Memphis are popular tourist destinations, whether you're traveling with family, friends, or by yourself. Zip around your local area in a stylish sedan like the Toyota Corolla, or embark on a Tennessee road trip in a comfortable SUV like the KIA Seltos or BMW X5.
- Work car rental: Doing business in the Volunteer State? Lock in a Tennessee car rental to guarantee you never miss a meeting, client catch-up, or long business lunch. Models like the Genesis G70 or Lexus RX are great for executives looking to make an impression, whereas affordable car rentals, including the Nissan Versa and Mitsubishi Mirage, won't break the bank (or the company credit card).
- Long-term car rental: Tennessee is a fantastic place to live, whether you love the hustle and bustle of Memphis or the laid-back, welcoming vibe of Knoxville. If you're considering relocating or visiting for a while, explore long-term car rentals on Turo, with heaps of vehicles available for a month or longer, including the popular Buick Encore GX and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class.
You'll find Tennessee car rentals of all shapes, sizes, makes, and models on the Turo marketplace. Cruise down country roads in a spacious SUV like the Land Rover Discovery Sport, or navigate your favorite Tennessee cities in a slick electric vehicle like the Tesla Model 3. There are also pickup trucks, mini vans, traditional sedans, compact cars, and even convertibles to explore – your journey is entirely in your hands. Unlike other car rental companies, when you book on Turo, you'll enjoy maximum freedom and flexibility, and always receive the exact vehicle you selected at checkout.
The cost of car rental in Tennessee can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Tennessee, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.
Nashville and Memphis rental counters generally require you to be 21. On Turo, the minimum age is 18. Turo gives 18-year-old musicians and travelers in Tennessee a way to move around, offering rentals that the big companies restrict to older drivers.
