Easy pickup! Great customer service! Clean vehicle. Convenient pickup! Nice price too! This is one of the best rental companies on Turo!
Abe was an absolutely great host. As a first time traveler who made some reservation stumbles, he worked with me to accommodate any changes with me, with a friendly attitude. I would gladly rent from them again. Love that things felt personal versus at typical rental companies.
This was easily one of the best rental experiences I have ever had. The red Tesla Model Y with the beautiful white interior was absolutely stunning, spotless, fresh, comfortable, and a joy to drive. The car felt premium in every way, and having Full Self-Driving included at no extra cost made the experience even more special. For the price, this is an incredible value and honestly much better than my usual Avis, Enterprise, or other traditional rental bookings. Jay and Kam were outstanding hosts. They delivered the car before the scheduled time, made the pickup and return completely smooth, and took the time to explain everything about the car in detail. They are true Tesla enthusiasts and former Tesla employees, and their knowledge really shows. As first-time users of Tesla’s self-driving features, their guidance made us feel comfortable, confident, and able to enjoy the car to the fullest. One thing that really stood out was the thoughtful refreshments they provided for us. That small gesture made a big difference and immediately showed how much they care about their guests. I have never experienced that level of hospitality with any other rental before. It felt less like a regular car rental and more like a carefully prepared premium experience. Communication was excellent throughout the trip. They were friendly, responsive, and available anytime we had a question. The entire experience was stress-free from start to finish, and the car was perfect for enjoying Seattle and the surrounding areas. Amazing car, great price, and truly super helpful hosts. I would definitely rent from them again in the future and highly recommend this Tesla to anyone looking for the best Turo experience in Seattle. 5/5!
Nick was an amazing host from start to finish. The Porsche Macan was absolutely EPIC — powerful, sleek, clean, smooth, and every bit of the luxury experience I was hoping for. I originally rented it for work, but I enjoyed it so much that I extended the trip for pleasure, and my family loved every second of it too. Nick’s customer service was top-tier. He was accommodating with my last-minute changes, easy to communicate with, and made the entire rental process feel effortless. The vehicle definitely turns heads, but the overall experience with Nick is what really made it stand out. I’d absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a luxury ride with a professional, reliable host.
Great vacation car! It was very comfortable for long drives and the ride was smooth and quiet. The host was very responsive, helpful, and made the entire rental process easy from start to finish. Overall, the vehicle was clean, reliable, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. I would definitely rent it again for another trip.
Pickup address conveniently close to Downtown Seattle. The car is in a good condition, the price is reasonable. Ivan quickly answers your questions, and is very friendly. I recommend his car for those planning a trip to Seattle.
Dustin made it an incredibly easy process. Provided detailed instructions for pick up/drop off, car was clean and in great shape. Great price compared to the other rental companies. I will be renting from him again.
First time using Turo and the experience was perfect! Great car, very clean. Couldn't beat the price especially with it being a newer model car and also my previous reservation canceled on me in less than 24hrs. Blessed to have experienced this opportunity. Will rent again in the future if need be. Juan was very professional, welcoming and informative. 10/10.
Amazing vehicle and an even better host. The car was in excellent condition and made our family trip extremely comfortable. Communication was flawless throughout the entire rental process, and the host was responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. Highly recommend and would definitely rent again!
Prices were decent, especially for the size and year of the vehicle. Pick up and drop off were pretty simple and straightforward. Personally not the type of car I would go for, but due to my last sketchy host canceling on me hours before my trip because I covered my address in the license confirmation picture (which Turo allows you to do) that car was the greatest savior I have ever had! The host was awesome! He vacuumed and hosed the car down on the spot for me even though he was really busy. He even listened to me ranting about my trip lol and I appreciate that type of service. I'll definitely utilize them again if I ever get the chance.
Igor was fantastic, the car was a complete joy to drive and Igor has gone out of his was to add some nice touches, a cooler with drinks and ice when you pick up the vehicle, an umbrella, and a charging power cord. The car was well beyond clean and tidy, by far the best Turo I've ever rented. The price was reasonable and was able to extend my reservation a few times was supposed to have for 2-3 days ended up with 7-8. I would highly recommend this vehicle and this host 5 out 5 stars top notch.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with my experience renting this Tesla Model Y! The vehicle was spotless, perfectly maintained, and performed flawlessly throughout our entire trip. The Full Self-Driving technology was absolutely incredible. We drove along the California coast, through busy congested city traffic, active construction zones, and crowded tourist areas, and the system handled everything with impressive confidence and smoothness. It made long drives far more relaxing and enjoyable than I ever expected. The car itself was comfortable, efficient, and a pleasure to drive. Everything worked exactly as it should, and the vehicle was delivered in excellent condition. On top of that, the host provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. Communication was prompt, professional, and helpful throughout the rental process. If you’re considering renting a Tesla Model Y with Full Self-Driving, don’t hesitate. This was one of the best rental experiences I’ve ever had, and I would gladly rent from this host again. Highly recommended!
This suburban was perfect for a large family trip to Disney World. Aside from large passenger vans, you cannot rent an 8 passenger vehicle from traditional car rental companies. The windshield was cracked by renters right before us, but host reached out and communicated it- offered to let us continue to rent it as is, offered a different vehicle in their fleet, or were willing to help us cancel with Turo. We opted to continue to rent with the crack, and it did not hinder the usage at all!!! Definitely recommend!
Ali and company are the reason why Turo will always be a better choice to rent a vehicle than any big rental companies. Always being available for questions and checking in on me and my family to make sure we got everything we needed. Through out my whole trip I felt completely safe knowing that no matter what came up resources were already in place for me to reach out to if something came up. During the end my trip while doing my final checks I found out so many amenities and emergency items were stowed away out of sight just in case something would come up and would require them. 100% would recommend renting from Ali and will definitely do so myself in the future. Thank you for the amazing service!
Amazing experience from start to finish. They were incredibly friendly, responsive, and made the entire rental process super easy. The pricing was very affordable, especially considering the quality of the vehicle. The Escalade was spotless, luxurious, and perfect for our trip. My kids were entertained the entire time with the TVs in the back, which made a huge difference. Honestly zero complaints, 20 stars if I could give them that many. Highly recommend. I used to rent through Enterprise and after this experience I will never go back. The level of service, communication, cleanliness, and overall quality here was on a completely different level.

The historic city of Brighton beckons with its iconic pier and vibrant cultural scene, while the medieval charm of Canterbury offers stunning cathedral architecture.

Brighton's iconic seafront and cultural quarter
Brighton stands as one of England's most beloved coastal destinations, famous for its Victorian pier, pebble beaches, and eclectic arts scene. The city's narrow streets wind through the historic Lanes shopping district, leading to the stunning Royal Pavilion with its distinctive Indo-Saracenic architecture. Parking is readily available in several multi-storey car parks near the seafront, though spaces can fill quickly during peak season.

Canterbury's medieval streets and magnificent cathedral
Canterbury captivates visitors with its UNESCO World Heritage cathedral and remarkably preserved medieval architecture. The ancient city walls encircle cobblestone streets that have welcomed pilgrims for centuries, leading to the stunning Gothic cathedral where Thomas Becket met his fate. Several car parks serve the city centre, with some located just outside the historic core to preserve the medieval atmosphere. The journey through the Kent countryside reveals charming villages and hop gardens, making the drive itself part of the Canterbury experience.
South Downs National Park's rolling countryside
The South Downs National Park stretches across southern England, offering some of the country's most spectacular chalk downland scenery.

Multiple car parks throughout the park provide access to walking trails and viewpoints, though some are located along narrow country lanes. A rental SUV proves invaluable here, offering the ground clearance and stability needed for navigating the park's varied terrain while providing panoramic views of the undulating landscape through large windows.

The adjacent Great Park spans thousands of acres, featuring ancient oak trees, deer herds, and the famous Long Walk stretching towards the castle.
