Great experience overall! The car was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The owner was friendly, responsive, and made the whole rental process very easy. Pick-up and drop-off were smooth and convenient. Would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend!😍😍😍
10/10 Immaculate and VERY meticulously well maintained car. Drives super smooth and no issues whatsoever. Owner is an absolute LEGEND to deal with. From the moment I secured the booking, till right after the trip ended - Ben provided insights and high valued information. He provided all the details so there was literally nothing I had to ask. Super communication. Most easy pickup and drop off. HIGHLY recommend booking with Ben if you want drama and hassle-free service. Most pleasant experience. Thank you so much Ben for a top experience!!
Victor is a really good guy! He helped me after incident with car rental and gave best offer
Tobias’ car was in great condition, and communication was a breeze. We don’t have fsd where we’re from so it’s a really cool feature to try out here in Sydney. Would gladly rent again the next time I visit, highly recommended!
Jim was great, organized, good communication, easy to deal with and no problems with the car - clean, well maintained. Will use again. Well done Jim!
An awesome must try experience! Mid-engine means very balanced car and very nice handling, smooth V6 power and with the roof open in the sunshine its just an absolute sensation. Ben is the best host by far on this platform also. Cheers again for the experience.
I’ve rented many times off of Sixt and Enterprise etc so was quite skeptical of the competitive price off an independent rental car company. It turned out that not only was the Toyota Camry a good deal but also an extremely smooth process from start to finish, other than the slightly longer process of taking photos of the car upon pick up and drop off Alexander and team were far smoother, and communication was much more instant than with a larger commercial company. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and plan to do so in the future, thank you so much!
Third time around and loved the Car it was immaculate to drive and Christian is top notch with his customer service definitely a go to if you want some nice cars at a good price in Sydney
Excellent service and an amazing car. Jim was great to deal with, would highly recommend him.
Amazing experience from start to finish! The Tesla was absolutely fantastic, clean, comfortable, and a pleasure to drive. It made our trip even more special and was the perfect car for exploring the area. Andy was an excellent host — very friendly, helpful, and always quick to respond to any questions. The communication was easy and he made the whole process very smooth. The pick-up location was also very convenient, with clear instructions and an easy handover. Everything was exactly as described. I highly recommend renting from Andy. Thank you for making our trip such a great experience! 😊
Good car, good host. Would like to rent again when I visit Sydney next time.
The car was clean and very comfortable to drive and Abhijit was flexible and accommodating re pick up and return times, a friendly and nice guy. The car was very conveniently located for me - I would happily rent it again.
Car was in good condition with no issues. Nice and clean. Host was amazing providing pick up and drop off via Uber. Very responsive to messages and easy to deal with. Highly recommend booking with this host.
Had a small hiccup at the start that the car hadn't been returned by previous user but they were great in swapping cars and still got us in one as soon as possible and we're very helpful and good with communication.
Peter‘s car is outstanding, loved it. Peter was also amazing nothing was a problem. Easy to deal with. I will definitely use Peter‘s car again thanks Peter you rock 10 stars ✅🙏🏻
Joseph the owner was really nice to deal with. Thank you for going out of your way to drop of your beautiful Subaru Impreza. And coming to my place to pick it up. Really reliable car and very good on fuel.⛽️ Car was very clean and smells very nice inside the car. I will recommend you to my family and friends Joseph. And I will only come to you from now on when I need a car Joseph.
Alesha is a fabulous host and I would rent her car again. Smooth pick up and drop off. Beautiful car to drive. 5/5
Edward has been so so kind and nice, helpful all along from the beginning to the end of this trip. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to rent a car. He gave us all the valuable insights about traveling as well. He even offered a lift going back to the city(maybe it's because it was too late) anyway, he was the best guy on Turo.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to rent a car on Turo?
To book a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.
In the UK, you must be 21 years old or older and have held a UK or EU license for at least one year, or another driver’s license for at least two years. In France you must be 18 years old or older and have held a driver’s license for at least two years, longer for certain makes and models of vehicles.
When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!
Do I need my own insurance?
No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo.
When booking a car in Australia, you’ll choose between the Premier (if available), Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host’s vehicle. All trips include $20,000,000 in legal liability protection for damage to other people’s property. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*
Do I need an Australian license to drive in Australia?
No, you don’t need an Australian licence to rent a car in Australia. But you do need a valid driver’s licence — most international driver’s licences are accepted in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and France.
Can other people drive a car that I rented?
Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve rented. You can add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
What is the cancellation policy on Turo?
You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.
In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.
What happens if I have an accident?
If there’s an emergency or an issue with the car, call our emergency roadside assistance provider, available 24/7. We’ll make sure you’re safe, then help you get back on your way.
Can I get my car delivered to me?
Yes, many hosts offer delivery to travel hubs like airports, train stations, and hotels, or to custom delivery locations. There are cars available on Turo near hundreds of airports, or you can have your car delivered for pickup and return at your hotel or vacation rental to save time and hassle. Some hosts offer free delivery, while others set their own delivery fee for the service.
How do I get discounts when renting a car?
Many Turo hosts offer discounted prices for weekly and monthly trips, so you’ll get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.
On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promo codes, discounts, and deals on rental cars!
What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?
Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses.
- * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan. Review the Guest Product Disclosure Statement for more information.
