Volkswagen Passat 2015

The car is great. The owner was great, but I had to extend my trip by six days and Turo doubled the price per day. I was confused by that and quite disappointed. Also, I did not realize I had to close out when I returned the car. It was returned at 11:45 not at 12:45 which is now.

Another great trip from Shirlene. The Audi S6 was an absolute blast to drive and the host was super helpful and responsive throughout the trip. Pickup and return were smooth, the car was clean, and overall it was a really great experience. Would definitely rent again.

I really can’t say enough about the experience on the whole. The fact that I didn’t have to pump money into or deal with a company like hertz or enterprise is a gift in and of itself. The process of renting was so straightforward and easy, as was picking it up and dropping it off. I was able to communicate with the host without any difficulties using the app, and they were responsive and helpful. I’ll never go back to renting the typical way- this is the only way I will ever rent a car again!
