I can say this car was great to use. The host was very responsive and even gave grace on my extra accommodations He makes you only want to rent from him because of how good his customer service is. If you need to rent a vehicle, choose this one (no matter what the price is) This ride WAS GREAT!!!

This was my first time booking with Turo and the process was easier than I thought it would be. The car was easy to find and clean. I had never driven a Tesla before and needed to reach out to the owner for assistance with something. The owner was very responsive and helpful.
