Fantastic. Turo is a great service. Anyone looking to rent a car should take this into consideration
Reliable, comfortable car; easy instructions and rental process. Highly recommend
The host was very kind and accommodating to our last minute reservation, even after I added the incorrect drop-off location. thank you for this clean and good working car with great service.
Great communication, very flexible with me when I messed up my pick up time and when I needed to extent my trip. Would totally book to rent a car from him again!
The 2018 Ford Focus met our needs nicely -- though it is a bit gutless as it didn't immediately respond when I tried to quickly increase speed. That said, the rental experience was very good. Rob was more than accommodating, friendly and helpful. The car came with a USB charger for the vehicle's port, and there was a new pack of gum in the console -- a nice gift. Would rent again from this Turo source! Five stars.
Great little car, comfortable, great gas mileage and cheap to fill the tank! John was an awesome host! Would rent again without a doubt
Thanks for another great rental! Excellent person to deal with and great car.
My first time using Turo! Was very impressed with the service and my host. Very responsive host and helpful. Really impressed with how smooth this car rental process was. Highly recommend and will use again on future trips. Many thanks!
Car was great, very clean, filled with gas and very smooth on the road. Host made sure we had the best accommodations. Highly recommend using this host if you are traveling.
Car was amazing! It had great mileage and was super clean. Would absolutely rent again in the future! Owner was super friendly and helpful, too!
Great car and host! The car was clean and worked good and the host was accommodating and responsive. Would rent again!
This was my first use of turo. So i didn’t know i had to do ‘end of trip’ process until I checked the message from turo. I just went back to the parking lot and finished the process. But your car was returned safely and with no damage at 9pm. Thank you
This car was perfect for our summer vacation. Simple, clean, cheap, spacious trunk, good on gas. Pickup and drop-off were extremely easy and flexible. It works a lot like traditional car rental without all the paperwork or threat of unexpected fees. You go to a lot very near the airport with free shuttle and an attendant brings the car out for you. I believe there are a bunch of other Turo hosts that use the lot in the same way. I would rent from this host again in a heartbeat.
Car rental went as hoped for (easy pick up & return, price was reasonable, & host provided clear directions re this transaction).
