Best experience I’ve had with the TURO car rental process. Communication was 5 star. Paul is a true professional. I had no problems with the car throughout the week. I was confident that if anything went wrong, he would be available with a list of trouble shooting instructions. Great price, great car, great communication.

The Nissan Altima was great. Good mpg, clean, lots of power, great response time. The car needed to be picked up at an off site location called, economy car rental at 2367 India street. A proximity 2 1/2 miles from the airport. You will need to find a ride to their location. The price of taxi will be $30, however we took the free shuttle to the car rental center then walked 20 minutes the rest of the way. The team at this location did a great job, fast, friendly, polite, and after returning they able to offer a ride back to the airport. We would rent this Altima again, and I would recommend this vehicle.

Directions were very precise for both pick up and return (although I didn't realize there was an additional step to checkout in Turo). Car drove great and it was perfect for our trip. Will definitely rent via Jonathan if we are back in PHX. Better experience than renting from the big car rental companies

Easy pick up and drop off. Car was very clean inside. A/C blows super cold even when it's 100 degrees out!! The windows are not tinted so I suggest bringing your own sun shades if you are going to be parked anywhere but the shade in the summer. Luckily I had those and that made my trip much better. The flip down visors do have the extenders to help block sun while driving thankfully. Charging prices are comparable to current gas prices - about $45 to get 250 miles of charge over a few sessions which is the same as I get from a full tank in my Toyota Yaris. This car DOES have the CHAdeMO fast charge input so it's 30-50 seconds per mile to charge depending on the fast charger & whether you're running the car (AC/radio) or it's fully off. Radio speakers were a little blown out so I had to adjust some settings to listen to my audiobooks but it was easy to do. I had no problem driving from the pickup spot to Kyle, then to the airport, and back into town without needing a charge which was about 90 miles, mostly highway. Just like any Turo rental make sure to take your own photos at pickup and drop off since scratches and such aren't usually documented after every drive by the car owners which seems standard in my experience. Overall a great deal, best price in town especially for a last minute rental. I requested the rental at 9pm on a Tuesday after my personal car died and was able to get this the next morning with no issue. Will definitely keep them in mind when I need a rental near by. Thanks again!

First, I contemplated leaving a 4 star review for a few reasons. However, the prompt response to the issue with the original vehicle reserved, partly due to luck that someone happened to be onsite with the car, and the flexibility with returning the vehicle without requiring washing and vacuuming is deserving of some grace. The price for 5 day/4 night rental was fantastic, around $150 total. I certainly didn't expect a car in pristine shape for the cost. This car is a part of a Turo "rental company" fleet. It seems like a company that buys cheap, used cars to rent out. There are 12-15 cars parked behind a strip mall 8-10ish minutes from the airport in an area I was glad we were picking up and dropping off midday rather than the evening. The hybrid we originally reserved had stained seats and a lot of cosmetic wear. One tire looked like it was on a spare wheel and didn't have a lot of life left, honestly. A lot of the roads in San Diego aren't exactly in great shape, I was concerned about getting a flat. When we turned the car on to leave we immediately got check engine lights and a "pull over immediately" message. Fortunately, someone with the "rental company" was on site and qas able to quickly switched cars for us. It wasn't a hybrid, though. We didn't plan on a lot of driving, but originally opted for a hybrid to save money since we had two days of freeway driving. We definitely spent more on gas then originally planned. If there wasn't someone available onsite to help, it could have been a much longer ordeal which is a terrible way to start a vacation. Communication day of pick up felt slow with the owner. I didn't think to look back to the 2 month old message about how to find the car. I received a message from Turo saying we'd be sent details the day before the trip. I never got that confirmation text or measage the day before or day of pick up from the actual rental owner. When I first reached out to the rental company through the turo app to find the car at pick up time, I didn't get a response. I finally found a way to text someone about 20 minutes later. We did get a pretty quick response that way, but it's frustrating to be in a random parking lot messaging through an app and not get a response. The Honda interior is definitely cleaner than the hybrid we reserved, but the exterior, not so much. Its been side swiped and has a lot of sun damage. The TPMS light was on the whole time, but the actual tire pressure was fine. There was also a rattle and grinding noise when accelerating from a stop or on a hill, but it didn't cause an issue. The car drives fine for a 14-15 year old car, it's just a little noisy and you feel all the bumps on the road. I understand with the cheaper cost of renting through Turo amd choosing a 12-15 year old car, I'm not getting a newer car like I would with a standard rental company or paying more for a newer car. That said, with my last few Turo rentals, it feels a lot of these Turo "rental companies" aren't checking their cars or doing much more than standard maintenance as frequently as they should when they have over 150,000 miles on them. The confirmation message also suggested the cars are kept in great shape. These cars were not in great shape by any stretch of the imagination. No one wants to be on vacation and have their car break down or even be worried that the car they're driving is gonna get a flat or break down.

I had an excellent experience renting from this host and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and smooth car rental experience. The vehicle was extremely clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Communication was outstanding from start to finish. The host was friendly, professional, responsive, and made both pickup and drop-off incredibly easy and convenient. The car drove perfectly and made my trip stress-free and enjoyable. It’s clear the host takes great care of both their vehicles and their customers. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and overall professionalism throughout the rental process. I would absolutely rent from this host again in the future and highly recommend them to others looking for a top-quality rental experience.

Solid rental experience. Car was as described. Had no issues and the host was communicative when I needed to change the reservation by a few days or hours. Super convenient location near the airport. Best price for the amount of time I needed it which was about 2 weeks. Will definitely rent again when I'm in town.

My credit card wasn’t working for some odd reason and rental companies wouldn’t let me rent a car so I booked this Turo last minute and it was a reasonable price for five days. I will do it again when I come back to Vancouver in August.

Excellent 1st experience using Turo. The host was very responsive and timely. The vehicle was in great condition and rode very well. The price was a good deal and would definitely use this again as opposed to a major car rental facility. It was a simple process overall and very straightforward.

Highly recommend! First of all Rigid was very helpful from the beginning. I wasn’t exactly sure what days I would be arriving at GSO so I had to keep rescheduling the rental, but Rigid was very understanding and willing to work with me! Very well communicated from making the reservation to returning the car. Very easy pickup, the car was dropped off right outside the arrival level, so no long walk to the parking lot or rental car center etc. Clean car with good mpg! Will definitely rent again next time I coming through GSO airport!

Top tips for renting a car in Baton Rouge


Exploring the soul of Louisiana is best done with the freedom of your own ride. From city landmarks to out-of-town bayou trails, having your own set of wheels lets you move between experiences with ease. Before heading off near Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, here are a few tips to help make your car rental process smooth and stress-free.


How does airport pickup work near Baton Rouge Airport?


Most pickups occur just outside the terminal at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, in nearby lots along Veterans Memorial Boulevard. Once your trip is confirmed, the Turo app will guide you to your rental car's exact location.


How does drop-off work near Baton Rouge Airport?


Returns are typically made at the same off-site location you picked up from, unless your host shares an alternate drop-off location in the app. Bring the car back with all personal items removed, and drop the keys as directed. Some hosts offer flexible after-hours returns, so double-check your trip notes.


How far is Baton Rouge Airport from Downtown Baton Rouge?


Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport is about 7 miles from downtown, making the drive a quick 15 minutes under normal traffic. Skip long lines at traditional car rental companies and get straight to exploring hot spots like the USS Kidd, Riverfront Plaza, and the Old State Capitol.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Baton Rouge?


Baton Rouge’s main arteries — including I-10, I-12, and Airline Highway — tend to bottleneck during weekday rush hours and LSU event days. Traffic builds near downtown and along Highland Road, particularly in summer when roadwork is common.


City speed limits sit around 25–35 mph, while highways stretch up to 70 mph. State law requires hands-free phone use and seatbelt compliance for all passengers. Visitors should double-check any applicable laws that differ from their home state.


For longer drives or all-weather comfort, booking a spacious vehicle is your best bet, such as a large SUV.


What is parking like in Baton Rouge?


Downtown street parking is metered and often full near popular spots like the State Capitol or Riverfront Plaza. The Galvez Parking Garage and Third Street Garage are convenient options near cultural hubs, with room for all vehicle classes.


Most lots accept cards, but always check for signage listing acceptable forms of payment — meters and machines can vary block to block.


Are there toll roads in Baton Rouge?


There are no toll roads in Baton Rouge itself. The nearest tolled route is the LA 1 Expressway toward Port Allen, often used for travel to the Gulf Coast.


Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Baton Rouge?


You'll find gas stations concentrated along Florida Boulevard, Airline Highway, and Essen Lane, with options like Chevron, Exxon, and Circle K. These areas offer plenty of coverage for both locals and visitors heading toward downtown or LSU.


EV drivers have several charging options, including ports at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, Mall of Louisiana, and select hotels. This makes the city a convenient place to rent newer vehicle classes — including hybrids or electric — depending on availability and your travel plans.


Do I need to rent a car in Baton Rouge?


Landmarks like the Bluebonnet Swamp, False River, or plantation homes along the Great River Road are only easily reached by car. Renting through Turo gives you access to flexible vehicle classes, easy local navigation, and the freedom to discover hidden gems beyond the city limits — minus the rigid schedules or rideshare waits.


What rental car types can I find on Turo in Baton Rouge?


From the Spanish Town Parade to sunset drives along River Road, Baton Rouge calls for a car that matches the moment. Filter by size, style, or take advantage of travel club discounts available through select listings for added value. Choose from the following rental vehicle classes, including but not limited to:


- SUVs: A practical pick for exploring Bluebonnet Swamp, tailgating at LSU, or running errands around town.


- Premium and luxury cars: Turn heads in upscale picks like the Cadillac Escalade, BMW X7, or Audi Q7 — perfect for client meetings or date nights downtown.


- Electric cars: Drive clean and quiet through the Garden District or Mid City with options like the Tesla Model Y or Audi e-tron.


- Performance sports cars: Want something with a little bite? Think Ford Mustang or similar for spirited drives down River Road.


How much does it cost to rent a car in Baton Rouge?


The cost of car rental in Baton Rouge can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rentals in Baton Rouge, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.
