Everything was flawless. The app canceled my reservation the day of the rental, but I was easily and comfortably able to navigate that with Thien. All I can say is I would rent again!

10/10 experience! Ashley and Frank were absolutely amazing hosts from start to finish. Upon first meeting them, they were incredibly kind, welcoming, understanding, and professional. I arrived about 30 minutes early and was fully prepared to wait until my scheduled rental time, but they generously allowed me to begin the trip early which truly helped me out. They took the time to introduce themselves, go over the vehicle guidelines clearly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. You can tell they genuinely care about both their guests and their vehicle. Their 2025 Nissan Sentra was such an exciting and enjoyable car to drive. The ride was incredibly smooth, clean, quiet, and comfortable on the road. The safety features, cruise control, fuel efficiency, and overall driving experience honestly impressed me more than expected. Even my grandparents kept complimenting the vehicle during the trip and now they’re insisting I look into getting something similar for myself. The car was spotless, well-maintained, and felt practically brand new. Everything worked perfectly and it made my work travel and local driving experience so much easier and enjoyable. I highly recommend Ashley and Frank as Super Hosts. They’ve absolutely earned my trust, and I would gladly rent from them again. In fact, I already requested another rental timeframe because the experience was that good. Thank you both again for the outstanding hospitality and professionalism! Thank you allowing me to rent your vehicle this was such a memorable first time experience!

Phenomenal experience, Chris was super nice and attentive, he made my experience fantastic easy and smooth. His car drive excellent and is great on gas! I will definitely be back with on my nect road trip! It was very easy to locate the car and return as well. I 100% recommend him to anyone in need of a road trip vehicle



Host was amazing! Very communicative and nice. Car also was in great condition but the drivers side seatbelt panel came off while I was driving but the seatbelt itself was not affected. Probably just needs a replacement panel and it’s good to go. Had a lot of cool features on the vehicle as well! This is the 2nd tesla I’ve rented and the only one that had a lot of the features unlocked!



Totally awesome and accommodating host! Nice ride and very responsive.
They always keep their cars in excellent condition, very clean, very reliable, responds quickly and will always address any concerns or issues that may come up. I don’t book with anyone but these two. Very professional and friendly. Best hosts on Turo!!

Frank is Awesome! 10/5 stars! I always have no worries when I rent from him! The car is great! Highly recommend 💯

Pickup near or at Airports
Follow these tips for a safe and smooth trip in your car rental (Albuquerque).
Albuquerque's got a well-planned road network within the city, so you'll have no problems getting around by car. Major routes like I-25 and I-40 also link it to other nearby destinations like Santa Fe, Taos, or the Sandia Mountains by car.
Outside of the usual morning and evening peak hours, traffic is pretty light in Albuquerque compared to bigger cities. You might also find heavier traffic during popular events like the Balloon Fiesta in October, especially around popular areas like Downtown, Old Town, and near event venues.
Always follow posted speed limits while driving in New Mexico. In urban areas, the speed limit is typically around 25–35 mph, while it can go up to 75 mph on freeways.
Albuquerque generally has great weather for driving year-round, with dry, sunny conditions most of the time. Just look out for the occasional thunderstorms that occur in late summer, which can make roads slippery. Check local forecasts before heading out and drive cautiously in bad conditions.
Albuquerque offers a mix of parking options, including metered street parking, surface lots, and private garages (like SP+ Parking) in areas like Downtown and Old Town. Always check signs for time limits or restrictions to avoid fines, especially in popular areas like Old Town, Nob Hill, or near event venues.
There are no toll roads in Albuquerque.
Use apps like PlugShare or Google Maps to find the nearest gas station or EV charger in Albuquerque and check their operating hours.
You’ll find plenty of gas stations around Albuquerque, especially along major roads like University Blvd NE and Lomas Blvd NW, so you can easily fuel up on your way in or out of town. There are also 300+ EV charging stations within 9 miles of Albuquerque.
It’s best to rent a car while you're in Albuquerque. While there are buses and a few rideshare options, public transit is limited, and rideshares can get expensive if you’re making multiple trips in a day.
With your own vehicle, you can easily visit Old Town and Nob Hill or even take a weekend road trip to Santa Fe or White Sands National Park on your own schedule.
