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
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
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!!!
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!
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!

Christ Church College and its famous dining hall
Christ Church College features stunning architecture and the magnificent dining hall that inspired famous film locations. The college sits within walking distance of several public car parks where you can safely leave your rental truck. Your truck provides ample space for transporting photography equipment to capture the college's impressive Tom Tower and beautiful meadows stretching toward the river.

Frequently asked questions in Oxford
Why choose a ute for moving in Oxford?
A ute provides excellent cargo space for transporting furniture and boxes around Oxford's historic streets and residential areas. The open bed design makes loading and unloading easier when navigating tight spaces near Oxford's colleges and narrow lanes. Truck rental options like utes offer superior versatility compared to standard cars when relocating within Oxfordshire.
What driving differences should I expect with a ute?
Utes sit higher than regular cars, providing better visibility over Oxford's stone walls and hedgerows throughout the countryside. The extended length requires more careful manoeuvring when parking near Oxford locations like Carfax Tower or the covered market. Truck hire vehicles typically have different braking distances, so allow extra space when stopping at roundabouts around the city.
How do I park a large ute in Oxford?
Look for designated larger vehicle spaces in Oxford's park-and-ride facilities on the city's outskirts rather than attempting street parking in the historic centre. Many car parks near Oxford railway station accommodate longer vehicles with appropriate clearance heights. Van hire and truck vehicles work best when using peripheral parking areas with easy walking access to central Oxford locations.
How should I distribute weight in my ute?
Place heavier items towards the front of the bed and against the cab to maintain proper balance when driving through Oxfordshire's rolling hills. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps, especially when travelling on faster roads connecting Oxford to surrounding villages. Rental trucks perform best when weight is evenly distributed across the bed rather than concentrated on one side.
What safety features do modern utes offer?
Contemporary utes include electronic stability control systems that help maintain traction on wet roads common throughout England's climate. Many models feature reversing cameras and parking sensors, particularly useful when manoeuvring around Oxford's tight college courtyards and residential streets. Truck hire vehicles in the truck category often include multiple airbags and reinforced frames for enhanced protection during your rental period.
Where are the best ute road trip destinations from Oxford?
The Cotswolds offer scenic routes perfect for ute exploration, with villages like Chipping Norton and Burford easily accessible from Oxford. Blenheim Palace provides ample parking for larger vehicles and showcases magnificent grounds ideal for a day trip. Truck rental utes excel when visiting Oxfordshire's market towns such as Witney or Thame, where you can explore local attractions and load up with regional produce.
