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!!
This truck was an absolute blast to drive! We had an awesome time and really enjoyed the experience. The customer service was outstanding very friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire rental process. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great rental experience.
Excellent truck rental experience. The truck was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Pickup and drop-off were easy, and communication throughout the trip was quick and professional. The truck drove great and was reliable for everything I needed. I would definitely rent from this host again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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 ✌️
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
This was so easy very fast and definitely coming back when I need to rent a truck.
I had this truck rental scheduled for a later time and date in this month and at the last minute, had to move the date up much earlier than planned. I messaged the host and asked if they could move my rental up and change my location? They DID IT THAT DAY!!! Saved my life. They delivered the truck to my job and handed me the key. It was a smooth and swift process.

Frequently asked questions in Manchester
Why rent a car in Manchester?
Rental cars provide exceptional versatility for Manchester residents and visitors who need to transport furniture, sports equipment, or building supplies around the city. The open cargo bed design makes loading and unloading significantly easier than traditional car boot spaces, particularly useful when navigating Manchester's busy shopping districts or moving between flats. Manchester airport transfers become more practical with a rental car when you're carrying oversized luggage or equipment that won't fit in a standard vehicle.
What should I expect when driving a rental car versus a regular car?
Rental cars sit higher than regular cars, offering better visibility over traffic in Manchester's congested areas, though you'll need to adjust to the different driving position and longer braking distances. The rear suspension feels firmer when the cargo bed is empty, creating a slightly bouncier ride compared to standard car comfort levels. Parking sensors become particularly valuable when manoeuvring around Manchester's narrow streets, as the extended length requires more spatial awareness than typical vehicle operation.
How do I park and manoeuvre a large rental car?
Use your mirrors extensively when reversing, as the cargo bed extends beyond your natural sight lines in Manchester's tight parking spaces. Multi-storey car parks around Manchester airport and city centre often have height restrictions, so always check clearance signs before entering. Practise three-point turns in quieter areas first, as rental cars require wider turning circles than standard cars when navigating Manchester's residential streets.
How do I manage load distribution and weight in a rental car?
Place heavier items directly over the rear axle and secure all cargo with proper tie-downs to prevent shifting during Manchester's stop-start traffic conditions. Distribute weight evenly across the cargo bed width to maintain vehicle stability, particularly important when driving through Manchester's varied terrain from city centre to surrounding areas. Check your vehicle's maximum payload capacity before loading, as exceeding limits affects braking performance and handling on Manchester's busy roads.
What safety features do modern rental cars offer?
Contemporary rental cars include electronic stability control and traction management systems that help maintain grip on Manchester's occasionally wet road surfaces. Multiple airbags protect occupants in the reinforced cabin design, whilst anti-lock braking systems provide better control during emergency stops in Manchester traffic. Reversing cameras and parking sensors assist with visibility challenges when manoeuvring around Manchester airport pick-up zones or tight city parking areas.
Where are the best destinations for a rental car road trip from Manchester?
The Peak District offers excellent car hire-friendly routes where the cargo space proves ideal for camping gear, hiking equipment, or photography supplies. Yorkshire Dales provide scenic drives with ample opportunities to utilise your hired car's carrying capacity for outdoor adventure equipment or local produce purchases. The Lake District remains easily accessible from Manchester, with your rental car's versatility perfect for transporting water sports gear, fishing equipment, or supplies for extended countryside exploration.
