David was an amazing host! He's very detailed with his communication and instructions. Thank you for the grocery bags and car chargers, they came in handy. The car was super clean and well maintained, it was very comfortable and it drove super smooth. I would definitely recommend and rent this vehicle again and again!

The car quality was solid. It felt like the car was shaking a bit when reaching higher speeds. The host Jay was fantastic when we connected. He helped me out immensely in a time when flexibility was most necessary. The drop off location at Manchester airport was a bit unclear as the location drops you off in the middle of 3 separate parking lots. Great trip overall!

The car was great for our trip! It was clean and matched the description perfectly. The airport pickup and drop off instructions could not have been easier. Found the car in the location described. Owner was very responsive and professional. Could not have asked for a better Turo experience.

Volkswagen Jetta 2021

I enjoyed this auto & Katie is a great host. My car is older so it doesn't have the newer technology. This is my 1st time using Turo to rent a car. Katie was very helpful as I didn't realize that I needed to turn the stirring wheel & step on the brake to start the car. After that the Jetta is a very nice auto to rent.
