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 Crawley
Why rent a car in Crawley?
Crawley's location near Gatwick Airport makes rental cars ideal for transporting large luggage loads and equipment across West Sussex. The versatile cargo space handles everything from moving house items to camping gear for exploring the South Downs. Rental cars provide excellent visibility for navigating Crawley's busy roundabouts and offer practical solutions for both urban errands and countryside adventures throughout the region.
What driving differences should I expect with a car versus a smaller vehicle?
Larger cars sit higher than standard vehicles, providing better road visibility but requiring adjustment to the elevated driving position around Crawley. The longer wheelbase affects turning radius, particularly noticeable when navigating tight car parks near Gatwick Airport or central Crawley shopping areas. Acceleration differs from smaller cars due to increased weight, especially when loaded, making motorway merging around London require more planning.
How do I park a large car safely?
Use your mirrors extensively when reversing, as larger cars have bigger blind spots than standard cars in Crawley's busy car parks. Choose end spaces or areas with extra room to accommodate the vehicle's length, particularly useful near Gatwick Airport terminals. Always engage the handbrake firmly on West Sussex's hilly terrain and consider the vehicle's height when using multi-storey car parks around London.
How should I distribute weight in my rental car?
Place heavier items directly over the rear axle for optimal balance when travelling between Crawley and surrounding areas. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or nets to prevent shifting during cornering on West Sussex country roads. Keep the load level distributed to maintain proper vehicle handling, especially important when navigating the busy routes around Gatwick Airport and towards London.
What safety features do modern cars offer?
Contemporary cars include electronic stability control systems that help maintain traction on wet roads common throughout West Sussex. Many feature reversing cameras and parking sensors, particularly valuable when manoeuvring in tight spaces around Crawley town centre or Gatwick Airport. Advanced models offer lane departure warnings and automatic emergency braking, enhancing safety during longer journeys towards London or across the county.
Where are the best car road trip destinations from Crawley?
The South Downs National Park offers excellent car-friendly routes with stunning countryside views accessible from Crawley within West Sussex. Brighton's seafront provides ample parking for larger vehicles while exploring the famous pier and cultural attractions. The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty features scenic drives perfect for rental cars, with numerous country pubs and walking trails easily reached from your Crawley base.
