Ford Escape 2011

Gilberto has a nice little fleet of older-but-not-too-old cars to rent. Our minivan suffered a series of malfunctions just before a big trip, and we had to find something on pretty short notice. I found turo.com and this was our solution. For various reasons, we were looking at one of his 2012 Ford Escapes, but that one wasn't available so we rented a 2011 instead. The traditional rental car places won't guarantee a model in advance, just a "class" (like compact car, small SUV, full-size SUV, etc.), but we wanted a specific model so this was a great solution, and at about 1/3 the price of the "normal" places. My insurance agent assured me my own insurance would cover the rental (minus my usual deductible) so I didn't have to buy extra coverage. For the number of days we rented, we got 1,200 miles included, which was just right for our trip of about 1,100 miles. Everything went smoothly and we had a great trip. I'll keep turo.com and Gilberto in mind if we need another rental.

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!

It provided plenty of room for passengers and luggage, making our trip enjoyable and stress-free. The vehicle drove smoothly, was reliable, and exceeded our expectations. The rental process was quick and easy, and the owner was professional, friendly, and responsive throughout the entire experience.

Van was great. Hosts were accommodating even though pickup at MCO is not easy with having to use shuttles and off property lots. I would rent again, just not sure I’d choose Turo over the car rental companies in Orlando because of convenience factor of the ease from rental companies being right there at the airport.

My host responded to messages quickly and pickup at the airport parking lot was easy. The car was clean and comfortable. Drop off at the airport parking lot was easy. The whole process was easier and less expensive than if I’d used a standard car rental agency. This was my first time renting through Turo and I am a convert.

It was a very easy pick up. Car was very clean and Asad even messaged me to check in the middle of the rental how it was going so far. If I ever go back and need to rent a car in NC airport I will go through Asad. Thank you.

The car was fantastic, perfect for exploring Oahu. The car was dropped off a bit late, but the host bought me breakfast and allowed for a later return, which made up for it. Next time we're on the island we'll be looking to rent a car from Tom again!

This vehicle was a pleasure to ride it. The excitement of driving a vehicle that use to be a cop car was a adrenaline rush for me. The gas mileage was a real treat for me especially with gas prices being so high. I will most definitely rent again.
