Jeep Wrangler 4xe 2025

This Jeep is awesome! There is not a better way to drive around than with the top off. You can open it with a single button. The Jeep is immaculate and very fast. If you aren’t used to driving electric or hybrid know it’s so quiet you won’t know it started! The electric definitely saves on gas and most hotels have chargers and the cost is $15 (a fraction of gas) so that is handy. The parking is not at the airport. It’s out at Ride Share Parking South… about 25 mins from the airport. Not drastically different from rental car locations. The only downside if there is one, is the shuttles only come every 30 mins and sometimes get full before you can get on. So give yourself an hour for pick up and drop off. When you arrive at the airport and get your bags on level 5 you will follow the signs to the ride share and rental car area outside. If you go out door 506 to the third platform you’ll see signs for the “parking spot”. The sign will be right yellow with black polka dots! Coach was an amazing host! I highly recommend. You can’t rent a Jeep this nice/fast with the rental companies and you will pay a lot more!

Just brought back my Jeep rental. First time with Turo. Was a leary but Boyko was awesome. Easy pickup/drop off. Car was perfect for our family with room for gear. Price can't be beat and you skip the waitlist debacle on the car ferry. Will be renting again.Thank you Boyko !!

I needed to rent a car last minute for a work related trip. It was Memorial Day and enterprise was close. I was able to find Jose and his Jeep Grand Cherokee. He responded within minutes and told me he would have the vehicle ready at the time I requested for. Car was clean and gas tank full. I will book again for my next trip.

This was my first time using this app so I was a bit nervous. It turns out this is way better than standing in line after a long flight at the car rental counter. Very easy to communicate with, very easy to find the vehicle, and the jeep ran great. I hope every time I use this app it goes this smooth.

The jeep was very clean; also got a lot of compliments on it by other tourists! We loved using the “one touch” automatic moonroof; no need to take the roof “apart” like standard jeeps. Great for seeing all of the views Kauai has to offer and also convenient for Kauai’s tropical weather (unpredictable showers lol). This was the main reason I rented this Jeep vs others; we spent a lot of time enjoying views with the windows down and roof back. The key locker was very easy to use. The whole process from airport arrival to driving the car and then returning was seamless. Lauren was always attentive to any questions that I had and gave great details on how to access the keys and how to return the car. This was my first time driving a Jeep and I can see now why people love them so much. Definitely recommend a truck/suv like this one for your Hawaiian adventures. If you are ever on Kauai, please rent this vehicle specifically!!! You will not regret it!!!

Amir is the only guy I will rent from. From start to finish Amir and team were always available and answer within minutes. The jeep was great and I will be using his cars in the future. If you are looking to rent a car in Orlando… look no further than Amir and his car rental!

Considering how small the airport is and that the car was located there made it such an ideal choice for travelers. I usually go through other car rental companies, because how simple it is but I chose this one because they had an add on for coolers which has saved me lots of money on food on this one week trip. Their instructions were very clear with pictures that the process was seamless. Paul and Mary aren’t just renting out their vehicle, they make sure you’re having a good experience! The biggest thing for me is communication and they are very responsive whenever I have concerns about the car. They’re knowledgeable about their Jeep which is important for car owners. I would rent from them again in the future :) Thank you Paul and Mary!

10/10 experience with PJ and his white Jeep Wrangler!! Everything went smoothly and I would absolutely rent from him again the next time I’m on Oahu. PJ was extremely responsive before and during my trip and never took more than a couple minutes to respond! Pickup was easy, the car was clean and in great condition, perfect car for dropping the roof in Hawaii, drop off instructions were very clear. I also got to meet PJ in person during drop off and he is such a friendly and kind person. It feels right to support a local guy like him instead of a large car rental company. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! Thank you PJ!!! 🌺🚙☀️🌈

Great car and great communication from Brian! Easy and clear directions for both pickup and drop off had no issues with either. Had the Jeep for just over a week and was a blast to drive around the island, comfortable like a SUV but just compact enough to get into tight spaces at the beaches when needed! Would definitely rent again next time I’m on the island!

Unforgettable experiences await in Charleston

Charleston boasts an array of attractions that cater to history buffs, nature lovers, and culture enthusiasts alike. From the iconic Rainbow Row to the sprawling Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, there's no shortage of sights to explore. A Jeep rental provides the perfect means to traverse the city's historic streets and venture beyond to nearby islands. Whether you're cruising down King Street for some shopping or heading to Folly Beach for a day of sun and surf, your Jeep rental enhances every aspect of your Charleston adventure.


Step back in time at Charleston Historic District

The Charleston Historic District is a living museum of antebellum architecture and Southern charm. As you drive your rented Jeep through the narrow streets, you'll be transported to a bygone era. Park near the Battery and stroll along the waterfront promenade, taking in views of Fort Sumter in the distance. The district's well-preserved homes, churches, and public buildings offer a glimpse into Charleston's rich history. Your Jeep rental allows you to easily navigate between landmarks like St. Michael's Church and the Nathaniel Russell House Museum.


Unwind at Folly Beach

Just a short drive from downtown, Folly Beach offers a perfect escape from the city bustle. Your Jeep rental is ideal for this coastal adventure, allowing you to carry all your beach essentials with ease. Enjoy the laid-back atmosphere, try your hand at surfing, or simply relax on the sandy shores. The Folly Beach Pier extends over 1,000 feet into the Atlantic, offering great fishing opportunities. With your rented Jeep, you can easily explore the entire island, from the bustling Center Street to the more secluded spots perfect for beachcombing.


Explore the natural beauty of Magnolia Plantation

Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, one of America's oldest plantations, showcases the natural beauty of the Lowcountry. Your Jeep rental proves invaluable as you navigate the expansive grounds, from the lush gardens to the historic house. Take a guided tour of the mansion, wander through the romantic gardens, or embark on a nature train ride through the wetlands. The plantation's diverse ecosystems, including marshes and forests, offer unique wildlife viewing opportunities. With your rented Jeep, you can easily spend a full day exploring this magnificent property at your own pace.


Discover the charm of Sullivan's Island

Sullivan's Island, a barrier island northeast of Charleston, offers a perfect blend of history and beach relaxation. Your Jeep rental allows you to easily traverse the island, from its pristine beaches to historic Fort Moultrie. Explore the quaint downtown area, filled with local eateries and shops, or take a leisurely drive along the coastline. The island's lighthouse, though not open to the public, provides a picturesque backdrop for photos. With your rented Jeep, you can find the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.


Immerse yourself in history at Fort Sumter

Fort Sumter, where the American Civil War began, is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. While you'll need to park your Jeep rental and take a ferry to reach the fort, having your own vehicle allows you to easily access the departure point at Liberty Square or Patriots Point. Once at the fort, explore the museum, view original cannons, and learn about its pivotal role in American history. After your visit, your Jeep rental enables you to continue your historical journey, perhaps driving to other significant sites like the Charleston Museum or the Old Slave Mart Museum.
