We had an excellent experience renting this truck for our vacation. The vehicle was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. It drove great the entire trip and made traveling much more comfortable.

Clint was an outstanding host from start to finish! The entire rental process was incredibly easy, smooth, and stress-free. He was friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure everything was clear and convenient throughout the trip. The truck itself was excellent—clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was spotless when I picked it up and performed flawlessly the entire time. I took it on a longer trip and had absolutely zero issues. The ride was comfortable, reliable, and handled everything I needed with ease. If you’re looking for a five-star experience all around, book with this host!!! I will absolutely rent from him again in the future! Thank you!!
The option of Renting this Nissan Frontier pick up truck appeared at first glance like an “anxiety-reducing opportunity”, and here’s the reason why: -Pretty much all of the other trucks of the same type (with the oversized compartment in the back) are advertising for over $200 at the minimum, and quite often for just 24 hours. -In addition to the relief I felt as I noticed that this one was reasonably priced, the pick up location came as an unexpected bonus. Basically, there are a great number of car dealerships, most if not all, located one next to the other, occupying about a mile-long segment of the main road connecting Colma and Daly City called Serramonte Blvd. Thus, after dropping my car at the Volkswagen dealership on Serramonte blvd, being able to access this rental, located only about a mile away was a pleasant surprise. Especially when you combine that with the affordable price. - Lastly, the communication with the truck owner was easy and the details provided were quite thorough; which altogether made for an “anxiety-reducing” experience overall😀👍🙏. Thank you again for making the rental process of your Frontier, as simple and stress-free as it can be. Kel F, PharmD
Rental process was very easy. I had the car dropped off and picked up from my house with no issues. Vehicle was super clean! Will absolutely rent from again!!!
Great vehicle. Super clean and comfortable. Super responsive host. Was available on time. Would recommend to anybody looking to rent a truck. Will use again in the future
Truck rental again was great, very clean and comfortable, will do business again in future, thank you.
Tian was great. He helped guide us throughout the whole rental process. The car has amazing FSD. I would highly recommend for roadtrips. Would rent again from him
This truck is awesome. It has a super strong and smooth running engine. All the working areas of the truck such as the tie downs in the bed are in great condition, which was super important for me. 👍👍 used for hauling machinery. The bed is in good shape not torn up like most rental trucks. Made it easy to sweep out. You will love driving this truck if visibility is important to you, it’s a lot better than a comparable sized van lol. While trucking around 😎 I loved the sound system, worked great with charging my phone and playing music. The check in and experience with Nesha was excellent. The price was significantly better and I enjoyed this truck much more than any truck I’ve gotten from THD, Lowes or Enterprise and this year was a BIG YEAR for trucks and vans ✌️
Amazing truck, flawless and very reasonable price. Just keep in mind it's rear wheel drive so not best for snowy conditions! But otherwise awesome car!
We’ve now rented for three straight months from Broden, choosing multiple vehicles. He has always been extremely responsive and made our experience smooth. He has some of the best vehicles available and at a very reasonable price. We tried to rent from another listing this past week after returning our last vehicle to Broden, and immediately had to contact Turo to have them cancel the reservation due to major mechanical issues. Broden keeps up on his mechanical services, that added Rocket Car Wash unlimited pass is a really nice bonus, and pickup and drop off are so convenient. We just booked our 4th month and 3rd vehicle today with Broden.
Great truck rental experience! The vehicle was clean, reliable, and easy to drive. The host is easy to talk to and made pickup/drop-off smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions in Abingdon
Why rent a ute in Abingdon?
Utes provide exceptional versatility for exploring Oxfordshire's countryside and transporting equipment for outdoor activities around the Thames Valley. The elevated driving position offers excellent visibility when navigating Abingdon's historic streets and surrounding rural locations. These vehicles excel at carrying larger items that won't fit in standard hired cars, making them ideal for extended stays or moving purposes.
What driving differences should I expect with a ute versus a car?
Utes sit higher than regular cars, providing better road visibility but requiring adjustment to the increased vehicle height when entering car parks in Abingdon. The rear cargo area affects weight distribution, so acceleration and braking feel different compared to standard rental vehicles. Steering requires more attention at higher speeds due to the larger profile and different centre of gravity.
How do I park a large ute in tight spaces?
Use your mirrors extensively and take advantage of the higher seating position to judge distances when manoeuvring in Abingdon's town centre. Practise reversing in quieter locations before attempting parking in busy areas around the market square. Consider parking slightly further from your destination to find larger spaces that accommodate the ute's dimensions more comfortably.
What's the proper way to distribute weight in a ute bed?
Place heavier items towards the front of the cargo area, closest to the cab, to maintain proper vehicle balance during your travels around Oxfordshire. Distribute weight evenly from side to side to prevent the ute from pulling to one direction whilst driving. Secure all items properly to prevent shifting that could affect handling on country roads near Abingdon.
Which safety features matter most in modern utes?
Electronic stability control proves essential for maintaining control when the cargo area is loaded during your truck hire period. Reversing cameras become particularly valuable given the ute's size when navigating Abingdon's narrow streets and car parks. Anti-lock braking systems help manage the different stopping distances compared to lighter rental cars, especially when carrying cargo.
Where are the best ute-friendly destinations from Abingdon?
The Cotswolds offer excellent ute-friendly routes with wide country lanes perfect for exploring villages and transporting picnic equipment. Oxford's park-and-ride facilities accommodate larger vehicles, making city visits more manageable during your truck hire period. The Thames Path provides numerous access points where utes can park easily, ideal for loading walking or cycling gear for riverside adventures.
What protection plan options does Turo offer?

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.

You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.
