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. The owner was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient. We would definitely rent this truck again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle for a trip.
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
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 host and truck were amazing! The room in the back seat was spacious and comfortable. Also, all 10 large luggage b pieces fit perfectly on the bed of the truck. Recommend this truck rental over a rental company SUV.
Carlos was super accommodating for me. I really appreciated how he treated me and helped me through the rental process. Truck was great as well!
We had an excellent experience renting this Dodge Ram. The host was fantastic ... very responsive, easy to communicate with, and always available if we needed anything. The truck itself exceeded our expectations. It was exceptionally clean inside and out when we picked it up, drove beautifully, and was completely trouble-free throughout our trip. What impressed us most was the fuel economy. We were honestly expecting the 5.7L HEMI V8 to be hard on fuel, but it was surprisingly efficient on the highway. At one point we averaged just 10.8 L/100 km, which is better than some other trucks we've rented. The stereo system was also excellent and made the long drives much more enjoyable. Overall, this was one of the best vehicle rental experiences we've had. Great host, great truck, and great value. We would not hesitate to rent from them again and highly recommend both the vehicle and the owner to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable truck.
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 ✌️
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.
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!
Amazing experience from start to finish! The truck was clean, well-maintained, and ready right on time. The staff was professional, friendly, and made the rental process quick and stress-free. the truck drove perfectly the entire trip. I would definitely recommend this truck rental company to anyone needing reliable service and equipment. Will absolutely be using them again in the future!
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!
Elio’s truck was perfect and he was responsive throughout the rental process. He helped provide accurate pick up and drop off directions and the process was smooth throughout. Thank you!
Loved this freaking truck, great guys managing great price. Got lots of attention, definitely will rent again.
The rental was affordable and truck was great like the host Janine who was very friendly and very professional. The truck was delivered to my address which was very convenient for me and the situation of getting a ride to pickup ride to have a ride. Geeeesh

Truck was in good condition. Smooth drive and very roomy inside. Had no problems with rental process. Good communication. Will definitely look up client when a truck is needed again. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions in Chatham
Why rent a car in Chatham?
A rental car in Chatham provides excellent versatility for transporting furniture, garden supplies, or sports equipment around Kent's countryside. Chatham's location makes it ideal for accessing both London's markets and Rochester's antique shops, where a car's cargo capacity proves invaluable. The spacious design allows you to carry items that wouldn't fit in standard vehicles, making your Kent adventures more practical and efficient.
What driving differences should I expect with a rental car?
Rental cars sit higher than regular cars, giving you better visibility of Chatham's historic streets and surrounding Kent roads. The car's longer wheelbase requires wider turning circles, particularly useful to remember when navigating Chatham's town centre or Rochester's narrow lanes. Acceleration feels different due to the vehicle's weight distribution, especially when the cargo area is loaded with your purchases from local markets.
How do I park a large car in Chatham?
Look for end parking spaces in Chatham's car parks, as these provide extra room for the car's extended length. Many locations around Chatham and Maidstone offer designated parking areas that accommodate larger vehicles comfortably. Use your mirrors frequently and take advantage of the car's height to spot available spaces from a distance in busy Kent shopping areas.
How should I distribute weight in my rental car?
Place heavier items towards the front of the cargo area, closest to the cab, to maintain proper balance whilst driving through Chatham's varied terrain. Distribute weight evenly across the width of the cargo area to prevent the car from pulling to one side on Kent's country roads. Secure all loads with tie-downs or cargo nets, especially when travelling between Chatham and nearby locations like Gravesend or Basildon.
What safety features do modern cars offer?
Contemporary cars include electronic stability control that helps maintain traction on Kent's sometimes wet roads between Chatham and London. Many car models feature reversing cameras and parking sensors, particularly helpful when manoeuvring in tight spaces around Rochester's historic areas. Advanced braking systems provide extra stopping power, essential when carrying cargo loads during your car hire period in the Chatham region.
Where are the best car road trip destinations from Chatham?
Kent's coastline offers excellent destinations for car adventures, with beaches perfect for transporting beach equipment and picnic supplies from your Chatham base. The car's cargo capacity makes it ideal for visiting local farmers' markets in Maidstone and surrounding villages, where you can load fresh produce and crafts. Historic sites throughout Kent become more accessible when you can transport camping gear, photography equipment, or family supplies in your rental car's spacious interior.
