I will break my car rental experience (November, 2025) into 3 parts: Turo, car provider and vehicle. Turo. First time to use this app. Overall, simple and intuitive to use. It is a good option when compared to the traditional car rental companies. It was really nice not having to wait at the service rental counter. Car provider. Once you finish with the Turo process, you finalize all the details with the car owner. Daniel was exceptional to work with. He was timely and thorough with his responses to all my inquiries. Our flight arrived earlier than scheduled. I contacted Daniel and he had the car immediately available for my use. He was honest and trustworthy. At the end of the trip, I identified what I thought was a new chip in the paint. He reported it was present before the rental and not an issue. There is comfort in knowing there was no hidden agenda. Vehicle, Toyota Corolla, 2015. Don't let the age or size of the car deter you. The car was clean, dependable and satisfied all of my needs for 2 people. Hawaii may be dramatic with its natural wonders, but it is stingy with the parking spaces and roads (think road to Hana and Haleakala Volcano). We were happy to be driving this car instead of the SUVs and Jeeps that populated the parking lots and narrow, twisting roads. Overall, I would recommend Turo and HIGHLY recommend Daniel and his Toyota Corolla for your car rental needs in Maui.

David was communicative, pickup and drop off was easy with clear instructions, car drove well, overall very satisfied with our experience. Great cost friendly alternative to bigger car rental companies with a lot more flexibility, but come with the right expectations (i.e. don't expect a squeaky clean car)

Ford Mustang 2024

Wow. Just wow. If you’re planning to rent a car while in Oahu, this Ford Mustang convertible is absolutely the way to do it. There’s nothing like dropping the top and cruising along the island coastlines with the Hawaiian sun and ocean views around you. It honestly became one of the highlights of our trip. The car itself was spotless, fun to drive, and perfect for exploring the island. But what really made the experience exceptional was Gabriel. From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. Pick-up and drop-off were seamless, and he went out of his way to make everything easy and stress-free for our family. If you’re considering renting a vehicle in Oahu, do yourself a favor and rent from Gabriel. You won’t regret it!

Everything was perfect!!! Thank you so much to Jensen for a great car rental experience. He was super detailed with pickup and drop-off instructions. He even helped us find an available car when our trip dates changed and the original car wasn’t available. AND he was flexible on our pickup/drop-off times if we needed. Another awesome, hassle-free Turo experience! Mahalo Jensen!

Top tips for hiring a car in Cleveland


Ready to hit the road? Discover the expert driving advice to navigate the roads of Cleveland like a local.


Brisbane road rules and driving conditions


Before hitting the road in Brisbane, familiarise yourself with road rules and regulations in Australia. Remember that Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road, seatbelts must be worn at all times and pay attention to speed limits and other road signs to ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience.

If you're driving in regional areas, be aware that animals and wildlife can wander onto the roads. Be sure to drive to the speed limit and do not swerve suddenly, as this can cause cars to roll off the road. Plus, full-license drivers in NSW have a legal BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) limit of under 0.05.


Cleveland's rush hour and busiest roads


There are a number of busy roads throughout Cleveland, with the roundabout at the Shore Street West and Wellington Street intersection regarded as a key area of congestion. Our tip? Avoiding driving along this road (along with other major routes, such as Old Cleveland Road and Redland Bay Road) during peak hours, from 6 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 7 pm weekdays.


Are there toll roads around Cleveland?


If you're visiting the city centre of Cleveland, be aware that roughly 70% of off-street parking spaces are privately owned, with most spaces reserved for businesses' employees or customers.

However, there are all-day and 12-hour parking spaces located on Russell, Queen, Homer and Wynyard Streets - most just a short five-minute walk from the Cleveland CBD. Make sure to check the street signs before you park to ensure you don't overstay your allotted time.


Parking in Cleveland


There are a number of places to park across Rocklea, particularly around key landmarks such as a commuter carpark at Rocklea station and the Brisbane Market Car Park.


Petrol stations and EV chargers in Cleveland


There are plenty of places to refuel in Cleveland, such as the 7-Eleven on Shore Street, the Ampol Foodary on Shore Street, and the Shell Coles Express on Bloomfield Street.

Plus, there are a number of places to top up your electric car with charging stations such as the AXCharge Charging Station and Exploren Charging Station located in Cleveland.


Do I need to hire a car in Cleveland?


While Cleveland is serviced by both trains and buses, the region is best explored behind the wheel of your own car. Hiring a vehicle allows you to venture beyond the Cleveland CBD, from a day trip to the Gold Coast to venturing on a hike through the Lamington National Park.

Plus, booking your own car ensures maximum flexibility with the ability to curate your itinerary without worrying about public transport timetables or hefty taxi charges.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
