Kia Soul 2020

BEST CAR RENTAL EXPERIENCE EVER! AMAZING TURO EXPERIENCE AS A FIRST TIME USER! Tomas and his team provided excellent service during the entire rental process. They were prompt and informative with all communications. The vehicle was spotless both inside and out and had a pleasant freshly cleaned scent. The gas tank was full upon arrival to make starting my trip easy. The check in (and check out) process was easy. The ride was smooth. I felt like I was in a brand new car from a dealership, not a rental. I rented this car because I wanted to get a thorough test drive of a Kia Soul which I am considering purchasing to replace my very old car. It surpassed all of my expectations. Driving was smooth and comfortable on highway and local roads. When it was time to return the car, I honestly did not want to get back in my old car LOL. If you need to rent a car for any reason, choose Tomas and his team for the best customer service experience ever! You will feel like his only customer and receive prompt help if needed, not like those other places that have too many customers to handle making you feel like just a number. I would ABSOLUTELY rent from Tomas again if needed and recommend him to all of my friends and family.

Moniqa was the perfect host, friendly and organized. Pick-up and drop-off went without a hitch. We purposely rent Kia soul's because they are the perfect island car. This car was clean and ready to go for our visit to the island, made us feel and look local. We would definitely book with her again. Mahalo!

First time ever using Turo and I’m glad it was with DH Trips! They made renting a vehicle easy and smooth. Definitely better than Rent-A-Car or any commercial rental locations! Definitely will use them again in the future.

First time using Turo and the experience was perfect! Great car, very clean. Couldn't beat the price especially with it being a newer model car and also my previous reservation canceled on me in less than 24hrs. Blessed to have experienced this opportunity. Will rent again in the future if need be. Juan was very professional, welcoming and informative. 10/10.

I had a great experience renting Ashpal’s 2014 Kia Sorento. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and drove smoothly throughout our trip around Victoria and nearby areas. The SUV had plenty of space for passengers and luggage, making it perfect for sightseeing and road trips. Ashpal was friendly, responsive, and made the pickup and return process simple and hassle-free. The car was exactly as described, and I had no issues during the rental period. I would definitely rent from Ashpal again and recommend both the host and the Kia Sorento to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable vehicle. Thanks for helping make our trip enjoyable!

Kia Soul 2015

I needed a car to rent while I was looking for a new one to buy. The traditional route was quite pricey. I had never heard of this app, and a friend suggest I check it out. I came across the listing. It's your typical no non sense kia soul. Point A to B goer. The price was good, so I decided to rent It from Moe. The car when I picked it up was clean, and ran fine. The mileage with the car rental was more than needed, and I needed to extend the rental at the last minute due to personal conflicts, and he was more than accommodating. He was able to keep me in the rental despite having all of their cars already pretty much booked out. He definitely didn't need to accommodate, and he did, and I'm forever grateful of that because it's stressful enough trying to pick up a new car. I will definitely use their services again in the future if I find myself needing a set of wheels to rent. Moe, you rock man. Thank you again!

Kia K5 2021

The host, the car, and the whole Turo experience was 10/10. The price was fantastic and the whole experience was seamless. We had weird hours we wanted to leave and return the car that would not have worked with a car rental agency, but Angel and Turo made the whole process easy and seamless. I’m a bigger guy so I was worried about how comfortable the car would be and it was perfect. The great ride made our whole vacation possible and comfortable. I really appreciated the vehicles safety features too!

Hatem has been a great host. We rented a Kia Sedona, and the vehicle met all our travel needs perfectly. Hatem’s way of dealing is highly appreciated — he is a very humble and professional person. Must rent a car from him!

Evgeny was extremely communicative, detail-oriented, and attentive - all the way from before my trip even started to after it ended. I especially appreciated how clean every nitty-gritty part of this car came in, including the driving wheel since many rental owners tend to forget about it. When I was running into parking issues on my return, Evgeny was ultra understanding with support as quick as lightening bolt. I got a chance to meet the courteous gentleman in person shortly after the rental return, which further proved how much personal care he puts in maintaining his Kia Soul. I had a lovely time renting this car and hope to rent again in the near future as this is now definitely one of my favorites on Turo. Thank you!

It was half the price of the big name car rental companies. Travis was responsive when we had questions. The car was as described and worked perfectly for our trip. Knowing that we had plenty of miles included with the rental was a relief. I would definitely rent from Travis again.

I recommend renting this Kia Soul from the host Stephen. Stephen was really professional and made the car rental process like super easy. He was good at communicating and replying back right away, and the car was extremely good on gas and held up better than I expected! I would rent this car all over again because I had an all around great experience! If you want the experience that I had, then take my advice & rent this very reliable car through this amazing host. You'll be happy you did! Thanks for making my rental experience very easy Stephen!!! I added you to my favorites and I will definitely rent from you again! Thanka again!🙂 -Sincerely, A Happy Customer!
