Car is definitely older but is still in decent shape and perfect for the type of trip we did
Was very friendly, helpful and communication was very responsive. Price point was very good. Will definitely book again 😊
Good car, did all that we asked, premium features, good value for the price.
The car itself was great, clean, spacious, and comfortable enough for our group of 5 adults and 2 kids. It worked perfectly during the 5 days we rented it, and the host was responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the trip. The only downside was the pickup and drop-off experience. The pickup location, Sunrise Parking near LAX, was inconvenient. We had to wait around 45 minutes for the shuttle to pick us up after arrival. Returning the car was even more frustrating. The staff at the front gate told me it would be at least a 30-minute wait for the next shuttle and suggested I walk back to the airport instead. I ended up walking about 15 minutes, which fortunately worked out because I had already dropped off my family and luggage beforehand and had enough time before my flight. Otherwise, this could have caused a major issue. I’m leaving a 5-star rating because the car and host delivered a great experience. However, Turo should address the transportation issues related to this pickup location, as it impacts the overall rental experience.
Dont be decieved. This beast of a van is stronger than its age. If you want something grand get an expensive mini van. But if you want a simple practical minivan this is a great choice. Got this for our family trip for 3 weeks and got us to where we were supposed to go. Thank you to the owners of this minivan. Very reasonable pricing that gets you going.
Fantastic experience! The Kia Carnival was clean, comfortable, reliable, and easy to drive. My family and I used it for a trip to Northern California and back for a family reunion, and it performed flawlessly. The host was top-notch—very responsive and great to work with. Highly recommend, and I would definitely rent from them again!
experience was great. got to the lot and car was there waiting. car was clean, and gas was filled to the top. the convenience of not having to go to the LAX rental counter is huge. good communication. will rent from again, if the opportunity presents itself.
Car was very nice, clean and smooth. Comfortable seats. A/C was working well, driving on freeway was good. It was long way trip and passengers were satisfied. I’d rent this car again with much pleasure
First time I used Turo and it was honestly the best car rental experience ever; easy pick-up and drop off, clean and comfortable!
Yoshi was an outstanding host from beginning to end. Communication was prompt, clear, and professional, and the pickup and return instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The vehicle was exactly as described—fairly clean, well maintained, and made our trip completely worry-free.(the AC worked astoundingly which is essentially important for summer trips) I would gladly rent from Yoshi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy Turo host.
Great car that was perfect for vacation while gas prices were crazy expensive! The hybrid was well worth it
Great car, great communication! We really enjoyed this car. Thanks for making our trip stress-free!
Vehicle was great on Fuel. Drove it about 750miles and only fueled up once and to return it! Very comfortable, smooth Vehicle. Host was great about accommodating us very last minute. In less than 2hrs he had the car ready for us to pick up. Would definitely rent again from this host
The car is in excellent condition, and Kristina was always very attentive. We would definitely rent this car again—highly recommended!
Simeon, was very courteous all throughout our time with the Toyota Sienna we rented. The car was nice, smells great, everything was in order even the car seats. He was responsive in all the requests even when we had to return it an hour early. He still met us upon pretty quick advice. The car was very gas efficient and yet had power enough to pull 5 adults and 2 kids inside with luggage. Had a blast and definitely will rent it next year when we come back. Highly recommended!
