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
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions in Shrewsbury
Why rent a car in Shrewsbury?
Cars provide excellent versatility for exploring Shrewsbury's countryside and transporting equipment for outdoor activities around Shropshire. The elevated driving position offers better visibility when navigating Shrewsbury's historic town centre and surrounding rural areas. These vehicles excel at handling both urban deliveries and weekend adventures to locations like Telford or the Welsh borders.
What driving differences should I expect with a rental car?
Cars have a higher centre of gravity than standard cars, requiring more cautious cornering and braking, especially when loaded. The rear cargo area affects weight distribution, so acceleration and handling characteristics change depending on your load. Parking requires extra attention due to the vehicle's length, particularly in Shrewsbury's narrow historic streets near the town centre.
How do I park a large car in Shrewsbury?
Look for designated car and van parking areas at major shopping centres and retail parks around Shrewsbury rather than attempting to use standard car spaces. Many car parks in Shrewsbury town centre have height restrictions, so check clearance signs before entering. Consider using park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts when visiting central Shrewsbury, as these typically accommodate larger vehicles better.
How should I distribute weight in my rental car?
Place heavier items directly over the rear axle and secure all cargo to prevent shifting during travel around Shrewsbury's winding country roads. Keep the load as low as possible in the car boot to maintain stability when driving through Shropshire's hilly terrain. Avoid exceeding the vehicle's payload capacity, which affects braking performance and handling on routes between Shrewsbury and nearby towns like Telford.
What safety features do modern cars offer?
Contemporary cars include electronic stability control systems that help maintain control during sudden manoeuvres on Shrewsbury's varied road surfaces. Many models feature reversing cameras and parking sensors, essential for navigating tight spaces in Shrewsbury's historic areas. Advanced braking systems and traction control provide additional confidence when driving loaded vehicles through Shropshire's diverse terrain.
Where are the best car road trip destinations from Shrewsbury?
The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers excellent opportunities for car adventures, with plenty of space for camping gear and outdoor equipment. Ironbridge Gorge provides fascinating industrial heritage sites where a rental car's cargo capacity proves useful for transporting picnic supplies and photography equipment. The Welsh border regions near Shrewsbury offer stunning landscapes perfect for weekend getaways with all your adventure gear loaded in the car boot.
