Recent reviews
This car was an absolutely beautiful ride to rent and I loved it! Future renters should research and know the manual convertible steps, as well as the space available within the frunk and trunk (convertible mode requires no luggage in the trunk). The clearance is also extremely low which can make some areas difficult, but provides for an absolutely amazing driving machine when you're on the open road. Super clean, and very responsive communication from Nexus Travel Management made this an overall wonderful rental.
Everything was perfect! The car was an absolute pleasure to drive, and Frank was super friendly and explained every step of the process clearly. I couldn’t recommend it enough, and I’d definitely rent this car again for my next road trip!
It was the perfect car for our trip, really made it special. Marvin was quick to help us with any questions we had on the pick up, during the trip, and for drop off. Would love to rent from them again.
The Mustang convertible was a lot of fun to drive. Maaz was friendly, responsive, and made the whole rental experience easy. I’d happily rent from him again!
Quality of the car was great! Host was very prompt on delivery of the car when our plane arrived 40mins early. Drop off wasn’t difficult since instructions were clear. Fun car! Top was operational our entire trip which was something I was worried about but never had any issues! Would absolutely rent this again when we come back!
Fantastic experience from start to finish! The car was in excellent condition, clean, comfortable, and a pleasure to drive. Rolando and Alberto were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and thoughtful hosts. They really went above and beyond to make our trip special. We had a great time and would absolutely rent from them again. Highly recommended!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect car to cruise the coast in! The car drove great and perfectly fit our needs for a weekend trip (it can hold a deceptive amount of luggage and is very comfortable). And above all of that, Leo was incredibly professional, responsive, and accommodating.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything about this rental was perfect! The Bronco was a highlight of our Bay Area weekend and such a fun vehicle to explore in. Our host, Ethan, was awesome and made the experience even better! We couldn’t have asked for a better rental. I would absolutely book with Ethan again and highly recommend him!
The car was perfect for my trip mostly driving in the city. So cute and so compact. Easier to find street parking spots for this than Tesla or alike. Super easy pickup and dropoff procedures. Thank you!!
Great communication, excellent quality and tidy vehicle. Vehicle performance is unmatched, and in great condition. Convertible and luggage were excellent. Super easy pickup and dropoff!
All were excellent and as promised! Great car and we had a great weekend!
The best host. Super fair, flexible. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you guys
The car was in fantastic condition. Very easy to pick up and drop off in Millbrae. Host replied quickly and was professional. I would certainly rent from them again.
Highly recommend! I would definitely rent from Roy again. Roy was a great host—friendly, responsive, and made the whole rental process incredibly easy. The Jeep was practically brand new with only about 100 miles on it, and it even smelled like a new car! It was spotless, drove perfectly, and made the trip even better. Can’t wait to rent it again.
Quality of the car was awesome, especially given the price. It was more than half the cost of a compact rental from the traditional agencies at the airport. Hosts were helpful getting me through the pickup process. Not too far away from the airport (SFO).
This Jeep was the perfect vehicle for my trip!! It was very well maintained, and I loved the automatic top! Thanks so much, and I would recommend this Jeep to everyone. It gets lots of attention and recognition too😃 Fun and reliable!
Tony was an excellent host. The car was exactly as described. Despite having a flat tire the morning of my rental, Tony was able to get a new tire installed, and still have the vehicle waiting ahead of schedule. He even took time to check in on several occasions to make sure everything was as expected. Thanks Tony!
The car was the perfect choice for our trip to Napa. Pick up and drop off were simple and communication was very timely and straightforward. Super happy with the experience!

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?
Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver's licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn't accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner's permit/instruction permits are not accepted.
Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?
To rent a car on Turo in the US, you must be 18 years old or older.
What documents and paperwork do I need to rent a car on Turo?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver's license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

What driving rules should I know before leaving SFO?
California requires headlights during rain and fog, which are common near San Francisco international airport. Right turns on red are permitted unless posted otherwise, and you must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks throughout the San Francisco area. Always carry your driver's license and vehicle registration when driving from the airport.
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 kilometers 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.
Are there toll roads near San Francisco Airport?
Several bridges around San Francisco charge tolls, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge that connect to different parts of California. Most toll facilities accept electronic payment systems, making travel convenient when you rent car from SFO. Cash payments are limited, so electronic toll accounts work best for rental cars.

Multiple gas stations operate along the airport access roads and nearby highways serving San Francisco airport visitors. You'll find stations on US-101 both north and south of the airport, plus several locations on surface streets in the surrounding area. Fuel prices in California tend to be higher than national averages, so budget accordingly for your Francisco car rental.
Should I rent a convertible from San Francisco Airport?
A Ford Mustang convertible or similar vehicle works wonderfully for exploring California's scenic coastal routes and mild climate. San Francisco's famous hills and ocean views become even more enjoyable with an open-top car rental from the airport. Consider weather patterns, as fog can roll in quickly, making a rental convertible less comfortable during certain times.
