This was my first time renting through Turo so there was definitely a learning curve as with all things. I had trouble finding the Turo parking lot at the DFW car rental center. It is northwest of the building. In order to get in or out of the lot with the car you need to speak to someone to open the gate. So be sure to have your reservation number handy. Other than that it was easy and smooth. The price was the same as renting from Fox/Eurocar but i got to pick my car and color unlike with a typical rental company. The host was friendly and helpful when needed.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Highly recommend! First of all Rigid was very helpful from the beginning. I wasn’t exactly sure what days I would be arriving at GSO so I had to keep rescheduling the rental, but Rigid was very understanding and willing to work with me! Very well communicated from making the reservation to returning the car. Very easy pickup, the car was dropped off right outside the arrival level, so no long walk to the parking lot or rental car center etc. Clean car with good mpg! Will definitely rent again next time I coming through GSO airport!

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

Things to do and places to see in Vermont

From postcard-perfect villages to dramatic peaks, Vermont invites you to slow down and savour the journey. Cruise along Route 100, the state’s most scenic byway, before diving into local flavours in Waterbury or chasing autumn colour in the Mad River Valley. With a rental car, you can reach the best sights far beyond the average tourist trail, and pack every moment with adventure.

Montpelier, Vermont

Stowe Mountain Resort

A year-round playground, Stowe is beloved for its powder-dusted ski slopes in winter and its lush hiking trails in warmer months. Drive up the Auto Toll Road for sweeping views of Mount Mansfield, or park nearby and tackle the Sunset Ridge Trail. With your own wheels, reaching the resort is a breeze — especially if you're carrying ski gear or hiking packs.

Quechee Gorge

Known as “Vermont’s Little Grand Canyon,” Quechee Gorge carves a dramatic path through the landscape just off US Route 4. Park in the visitor lot and walk the bridge for panoramic views or descend to the Ottauquechee River for a peaceful picnic. With no major transit options in the area, a car is essential for this detour.

Shelburne Museum

Just a short drive south of Burlington, the Shelburne Museum houses everything from folk art to a restored steamboat on 45 acres of landscaped grounds. Ample parking makes it easy to stop in, and having a car means you can spend the morning here before cruising over to the Lake Champlain waterfront for lunch.

Purple squiggle

Burlington International Airport

Flying into Burlington? Skip the usual airport car rental queues. Many Turo hosts provide seamless pick-up options just minutes from the terminal, so you can land and hit the road. With Lake Champlain to the west and the Green Mountains rising to the east, BTV puts you at the heart of Vermont’s natural splendor.

Montpelier and Central Vermont

Montpelier may be the nation’s smallest capital, but it’s rich with character, history, and maple-drenched charm. Arrange a car pick-up in town or nearby and chart your own path through forested byways, quaint main streets, and local sugarhouses.

Stowe and Northern Vermont

If your plans include a ski weekend or a leaf-peeping road trip, booking a rental car in Stowe is the smart move. Just north of Waterbury, this charming town is a gateway to Mount Mansfield, the Trapp Family Lodge, and other alpine getaways. Turo makes it easy for you to book the perfect car and explore the region at your own pace — minus the shuttle schedules or stress.

Top tips for renting a car in Vermont


Vermont’s winding mountain roads and rural routes reward confident drivers with breathtaking views and off-the-beaten-path discoveries. These quick tips will help make your Vermont rental car experience smooth, scenic, and stress-free — from your first reservation to your last mile.


What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Vermont?


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!


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Vermont?


Traffic is generally light across Vermont’s highways, though you may encounter congestion around I-89 near Montpelier and Burlington during peak travel seasons. Speed limits are typically 25–30 mph in town centers and 50–65 mph on highways, but can drop quickly in rural areas — so keep an eye on the signs.


Winter driving calls for extra caution. Between December and March, snow and black ice are common, especially in higher elevations and around the Green Mountains. Studded tires are legal from mid-October through May, and many locals drive with snow chains during heavy storms. In summer, fog and slick roads can appear after afternoon rain.


If you're exploring small towns or trailheads, narrow backroads and unpaved paths are part of the charm. A compact SUV or all-wheel drive vehicle is ideal for accessing less-traveled areas and scenic viewpoints across the state’s charming cities and countryside.


Are there toll roads in Vermont?


There are no toll roads in Vermont, making road-tripping between towns and attractions even easier on the wallet.


Do I need to rent a car in Vermont?


Public transport is limited and major sights like Green Mountain National Forest, Lake Willoughby, and Mad River Glen are best reached by car. With convenient rental locations in Vermont — including near regional airports — it’s easy to pick up a vehicle that suits your pace. Turo makes it simple to skip the traditional airport car rental desk and get on the road faster, whether you're visiting for leaf-peeping season or chasing a summer road trip through the state’s scenic cities.


What occasions can I rent a car for in Vermont?


- Vacation car rental: With its covered bridges, mountain towns, and lush state parks, Vermont is made for slow drives and spontaneous detours. Cruise along Route 100 or explore the maple farms and waterfalls near Stowe. To lock in the best prices, it’s worth booking your trip in advance — especially during fall foliage season when the roads come alive with color.


- Wedding car rentals: Picturesque venues like The Inn at Round Barn Farm and Basin Harbor turn Vermont into a dream wedding destination. Guests and bridal parties alike often choose to book SUVs or luxury sedans to ensure comfortable transport across towns and rural roads. Renting a car for the big day means you can tailor your vehicle to the vibe of the celebration — practical, polished, or a little bit of both.


- Long-term car rentals: If you're planning to spend a season skiing in Killington or working remotely in Burlington, long-term car rental in Vermont on Turo offers flexibility without the commitment of ownership. Many travellers lock in lower prices when booking multi-month trips through Turo.


What rental car types can I find in Vermont?


Vermont’s winding mountain passes, historic small towns, and rugged backroads make it a dream to drive — so long as you’ve got the right car for the journey. On Turo, you’ll find a wide range of vehicles including, but not limited to:


- SUV rental: Ideal for mountain drives or winter conditions, options like the Subaru Outback or Jeep Grand Cherokee offer all-wheel drive and ample space for snow gear or hiking packs.


- Luxury car rental: Glide through Burlington’s lakeside neighborhoods or pull up to a dinner reservation in Stowe in a premium model like the Audi A6 or Lexus ES.


- Pickup truck rental: Great for rural stays or moving between cities, a Ford F-150 or similar makes hauling gear or navigating backroads simple and smooth.


- Electric vehicle rental: Go green as you cruise between Vermont’s eco-conscious towns. Models like the Tesla Model Y combine innovation with long-range comfort.


- Performance sport car rental: Add thrill to your scenic drives with a Ford Mustang or Chevy Camaro — ideal for Route 100’s dramatic fall foliage views.


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


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


How old do you need to be to rent a car in Vermont?


You generally need to be 21 to rent a car from traditional agencies here. On Turo, the minimum age is 18. Turo allows 18-year-olds to rent vehicles in Vermont, ensuring you can enjoy the Green Mountains without being blocked by corporate age policies.
