Great car and great service! We rented this Audi for a month and it worked out perfect for our little family. We’ll be back in August and will rent from them again!
Rented this Audi TT for a weekend away and honestly couldn’t have asked for better. The car was immaculate, really comfortable to drive, and made the journey feel far more enjoyable than your average rental. Plenty of power, handled beautifully, and definitely turned a few heads too. Max was great throughout! Friendly, responsive, and made pickup and drop-off really easy. Everything was exactly as advertised and the whole experience felt effortless. Would absolutely rent again and highly recommend to anyone looking for something stylish and fun for a weekend trip.

Car and host were great. Cat was really nice , clean had good performance. Pay close attention for pick up details from car owner. Would definitely rent again from John. Turo reports the Wayne newton address but do not go there. Big waste of time.
Enjoyed my trip with this Audi while my car was being fixed. Car is as described, pick up was easy and instructions were clear and precise. Smooth ride no issues u would not believe it’s a 2016, Vehicle is well kept. Would def rent again if needed. Ty

Will rent this car again. Great handling. Only thing is gas would go up when I rent a car that takes Premium gas. Lol. Host was very quick with his responses. Pick up was easy and safe. Nephews definitely enjoyed riding with me.
Everything about my experience with Tamara's Audi A3 was top notch. From the communication, the ease in which the car was located and accessed, to the car itself, which was maybe the cleanest, most pristine car I've ever rented on Turo. We'll be back in CO Springs again and we'll definitely look to rent with her again when we are.
Ride in class and style vs some econobox. Tons of luxury. Good economy for such a spacious car. The Audi MMI is perplexing if you don’t know it. Take a minute if you are unfamiliar with Audis to get acclimated particularly this vintage MMI. ((Multi Media Interface)
Car was amazing. Pick up and drop off was very easy. Price was very good for the type of car. Definitely recommend
