Had a stress free and enjoyable experience thanks to Chris from Drive on Demand. The car was in perfect condition and really fun to drive! We will be renting again when back in Austin!

The short time I had with it was great. Driving this car is a treat, however this time some unforeseen mechanical issue left me unable to finish out the day using it. Fortunately I didn’t have a busy schedule and could get a ride from someone quickly. I’m not going to rate the trip poorly because it was not the hosts fault, and I understand that issues can occur when renting out a car which purpose is to be driven spiritedly. The host was understanding over the phone and assured me I could drive the same car or another of theirs in compensation for this mishap. I would still recommend this car for the sheer fun factor it offers.

I vacationed in Austin for a week and wanted to check out some spots a little further out of town. The convertible was perfect for scenic drives on backroads and highways. Would definitely get this car again! I was close to downtown so it was cheaper for me to Uber to and from the pick up/drop off than to have it delivered. Everything was super simple and smooth from booking to drop off. Great trip overall!

This was my first Turo experience and it was an excellent one. David’s Charger was a great car to rent. In addition to being a “Hemi”, it had all the goodies and was everything I hoped it would be. His directions on where to pickup the car were detailed and accurate. He kept me informed of all the rental requirements. It was a pleasure to rent from David and I highly recommend him if you have car rental needs in the Austin area.

I was turned on to try Turo after my UBER app was acting up during a business trip to Austin and everything went wonderfully from the initial pick up to the drop off of Angela’s Fiat. The car was well kept and a joy to drive. I sincerely look forward to using Turo again and renting Angie’s Fiat the next time I’m in Austin. Thank you so much for everything, Angie, Turo, and all the wonderful people in Austin!

We did have to charge on our trip which was super easy and if we're ever in Austin again we'd try to book this again without a shadow of a doubt!

Trey was very flexible with our flight being delayed, and our slight offset in departure time. Trey's car was actually nicer to drive than the Cadillac we rented on our last vacation from a normal car rental. Picking up airport curbside and on our way in 5 minutes is lightyears better than the traditional car rental experience. 5 stars!

On a scale of 1 to 10, Juan gets a 10+. I will gladly use Juan's car again when I need a car rental for a few days.

I couldn’t have picked a better experience in regards to rental cars. I didn’t have to wait in line at the airport, the car was clean, and the process was extremely reliant and easy. The car owner was personable and friendly when I had questions and made sure I was all set! An added bonus: this car will make you want to personally purchase a BMW- looked and drove AMAZING.

The car was amazing! The Mercedes was so much fun to drive, great condition, and honestly my favorite car I have ever driven(And I’ve had BMWs Jaguars to a 1969 Mustang).Was more than just a car rental, but a vacation that my fiancé and I enjoy, even just going to the grocery store became a special experience. Carlos was awesome! Not only was he a kind, friendly, reliable guy, but he truely wanted us to have the best experience possible!! When there was a confusion on my part about pickup time, he was understanding and went out of his way to make sure we were able to get the car and not have to cancel. Highly recommend both Carlos and his beautiful ride!

I will definitely be renting this again next time I'm in Austin for work! Thanks!!!

I had to pay for a garage parking fee at pickup to exit the airport parking structure, but Edgar followed-up to make sure I got reimbursed for that cost. His communication was excellent throughout the trip. Older Prius car with some nicks and bruises, but it worked fine and the cost was much less than a rental car.

I can’t say enough good things about Bojan or Turo. This was my first time using the service so of course I was skeptical. I wasn’t traveling alone with 2 small children who required car seats. The idea of waiting in a rental car line and carrying around luggage, car seats and all the carry ins seemed exhausting even before the trip began. As soon as we landed Bojan was right at the curb after I got our bags. When it was time to head ack to the airport I needed an extra 30 min and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. His wife met me right at the curb again exactly on time. I will ALWAYS use this service rather than a regular rental and spread the word!

It was my first time to used Turo service. At first I was skeptical about how’s the service going to works, pickup, drop off and interacting safely with the owner, but Allan makes the transaction so easy, smooth most importantly I felt safe to interact with him. The experience with Allan was exceptional. A day before the brooking he contacted me and stated the the car I received have some problem from the previous rental and upgraded to a newer car. He patiently guided me through the process to ensure I will reserve the new car. His schedule was so convenient and flexible. My flight was delayed due to thunderstorm at the airport area causing the plane unsafe to landed. I’m afraid the brooking would canceled, I contacted him and let him know the situation, he was very understandable told me let him know the the plane landed. After an hour later, the plane landed and he was waiting for me patiently outside the ground transportation area. My flight out was 6AM, he was on time for dropped off and the return process was easy and smooth. I highly recommend Allan’s service.

We rented a Prius from Wes for 10 days in Austin. I have never driven a hybrid for that amount of time and I was so surprised by how well it handled and how little gas it used. Wes was also very responsive and everything went way better than renting from a car rental company. No insurance and equipment up sells, no shuttles, no additional charges like for my wife to drive etc. This is our 2nd experience with Turo and they have both been great

Hello everyone, I rented Edgar's grey Toyota Prius for around 3 days here in Austin TX. Overall we had a great time with the car. For starters, Edgar made pickup and delivery of the vehicle super easy. We had no issues with the car as it was well maintained. You cannot beat the cost effectiveness of 46 mpg or more, I think we spent 13 bucks the whole trip and we drove EVERYWHERE in Austin. Overall Edgar was awesome and was quick to get back to us when we had any questions. He even dropped us off at our terminal on our departure. We will definitely rent again with Edgar when we are in town, thanks again for the nice ride! Jon

Excellent Turo renter! Don't be concerned about the Fiat's size, it had plenty of room for a large guy like me. A/C is ice cold, which is awesome here in Austin, yet still gets great gas mileage. Car is in really nice shape. Process was shockingly simple to pick up and drop off the car, about 100x faster than a normal rental car agency. Would HIGHLY recommend Kenny for your next Turo rental.

Aaron’s Acura was definitely a car to rent! Super clean and very quiet on the road. The push button drive system took a few times to get used to since there is no shift knob. However, the dynamic drive system with paddle shifter is nimble and swift on the road. I came in on Allegiant...so the south terminal and after a few txt via a Turo app and a phone call Aaron quickly brought the car over. Aaron is a great host and you will be happy renting his car ☺️
