I had an amazing experience renting this vehicle. The car was exactly as described, clean, well-maintained, and performed perfectly throughout my trip. Barry was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Communication was excellent, pickup and drop-off were easy, and everything worked flawlessly. I would absolutely rent from Barry again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and outstanding host. Thank you for a great experience!
The 1965 Mustang was absolutely fantastic and made the trip unforgettable. The car was in great condition, drove beautifully, and was exactly as described. Jason was an amazing host—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire rental. He made everything so easy, from pickup to drop-off, and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I would definitely rent from Jason again and highly recommend both him and this beautiful Mustang to anyone looking for a special driving experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My wife and I rented for our wedding anniversary weekend and had a great time! Oszkar was nice and helped us when we needed it. Definitely recommend!
We used this car for our wedding get away, the host was amazing and very easy to work with. The car ran great all weekend without any issues, was spotless when we picked it up and ready for photos. It was perfect for our special day! Would highly recommend this car for special occasions, or a fun weekend.
Tom was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The Mercury Comet was beautiful, in amazing condition, and made my daughter’s prom night feel perfect. The pictures turned out incredible and this was truly the highlight of her experience because this was the one thing she really wanted. Tom was kind, professional, communicative, and made the entire process smooth and stress free. One thing I really appreciated was the detailed video he sent ahead of time showing us how to operate the vehicle. Since it’s a 1963 classic car and we aren’t familiar with older vehicles, that extra touch meant so much and helped us feel fully prepared and comfortable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his renters and takes pride in his vehicle. We are so grateful he’s on Turo and we will definitely be renting from him again. Highly recommend.
Very easy pickup and drop off. Was a perfect way to end our wedding. Would definitely rent through them again.
A unique opportunity to rent the ICONIC Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 that was imported from the Japanese market. The steering wheel is on the right side, so you’ll be shifting the 4-speed manual with your left hand. This dijon mustard Land Cruiser will get attention EVERYWHERE you go. The little diesel isn’t fast, so plan ahead and stick to the slow lane. What a joy to experience something most people have no access to. I will rent this again! Jonathan made the rental very easy and walked me through the features of the vehicle.
True 1986 driving experience! Glad the weather was in the 70s during my trip. Truly a car you rent if you’re trying to experience LA in a classic, manual, bare-bones car; I loved it. So nostalgic.
Everything was perfect. This is a real driver’s car. What an amazing ride, a neck breaker. Would highly recommend this rental. Host was great, always answered quickly and helped with any questions. If i have the opportunity to rent again i definitely will!
I rented Shawn’s 1966 Ford Mustang for my wedding, and it was an absolute dream! The car was in immaculate condition, well-maintained, and drove beautifully—an iconic classic that turned heads everywhere I went. Shawn was a fantastic host, providing clear communication, flexible pickup and drop-off, and a genuine passion for his car. He ensured the entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. If you're looking for a classic car rental that delivers both nostalgia and performance, this Mustang is the perfect choice. Highly recommend renting from Shawn—I'll definitely be back for another ride soon!
This is an amazingly fun automobile - but - do not rent it unless you're OK getting your photo taken. We were mobbed by photographers in Monaco, Eze and Cap Ferrat - the combination of the car and my stunningly beautiful wife. Arthur was tremendously helpful. Thank you! It's just terrific memories made.
What an incredible experience. My mom had a ‘69 Mustang when she was growing up, so I knew I had to rent this when she came down to visit. We cruised along the Pacific Coast Highway and had plenty of people stopping us along the way to say “cool car!” Barry was awesome and I would definitely recommend renting this beautiful ride to anyone looking for a unique experience.
Car looks Amazing. Everything works. We rent it for photography and it exceeded our expectations. Incredible experience. It was my girlfriend’s dream to drive old Mustang and perfect moment for me, to ask here for a hand 😅. Host was really helpful and friendly. We had a little chat with him and he seemed to be nice person. Definitely recommend him and his car.
Beautiful car! Runs great and wonderfully restored. Don’t rent it if you don’t want to turn heads and get compliments everywhere you go. Easy pick up and drop off. Definitely recommend.
What a dream! Surprised my wife for her 40th bday with her best friends. It was a hit! Can’t thank You enough Tom! Felt transported back in time floating down the road on your Comet with the top down
This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of car rental. A 1973 Porche 911 in that condition is a treat to drive around the French Riviera. However, this car is no joke - it is a delicate and serious driving machine. Do not choose this car if: - you cannot drive a stick shift well. This is a difficult car to handle. And it is very delicate. - You want a convenient commuter car. Many roads are windy or bumpy. Get this car if: - you can drive a manual - you want to show up in style - you love classic cars and respect their power. - you want a car that will be hard to forget.
Everything was great. The vet did just exactly what they said and ever worked good. Location was easy and the host were great to deal with. Great wedding ride.
Great ride with zero issues! Hadil was a great host and would recommend! Thanks again for the great weekend experience!
