Todd was an excellent host! He was super communicative and made the whole rental process smooth and easy. The car was spotless, ran perfectly, and got amazing gas mileage — even better than expected.

Nissan Pathfinder 2025

Our trip was great thanks to this vehicle and the service Oneika provided! They dropped the car off the night before the scheduled drop off to avoid morning traffic and that started the trip off on the right foot. The car was perfectly clean inside and drove great! We were able to change our drop off to be at the airport and dropping the car at valet as we pulled in was swift and efficient! First experience with Turo and will definitely do it again thanks to this experience!

Overall everything was great a part of the communication kind of made me a little uneasy. he just put emphasis on taking care of the car but I just felt that is implied as Turo makes it very clear that the renter is responsible for damages. Again I am just making note of it. it could have been harmless but I like to give full reviews so others aren’t caught off guard.
