Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2014

Ok let me get real with you. Everything that could go wrong in this trip for me did, except for one, Emerson. I’ll spare you details, but I’m grateful to have had the problems I encountered while renting his vehicle because he made it so easy for us to find the solutions, yes multiple. I would rent a broken down box truck from him at this point because I have faith that I would still get to where I was going with his assistance. Now the car itself was clean, fully fueled, and well maintained for an older vehicle. You will notice that this car has been around for a minute because let’s face it, age happens. But the beautiful thing is with older cars come more room and cheaper rental rates. Both things I adore! This car is a great pick for practical purposes just listed, most of all for having Emerson hosting your ride. You can do no better!

Words can’t describe how amazing Samner was. The absolute best Turo trip ever. I first rented his 25 Hyundai and I wanted to extend it, but it was already booked so he let me rent his 24 Hyundai and it was just as amazing. But through that process of renting his other car I had an emergency with my daughter and he was so amazing throughout the process till my reservation was complete. He showed me care and understanding while I was waiting for Turo so I could leave to the hospital were my daughter was. I have never got that type of care from anyone and it was so comforting and he was a blessing. I would recommend anyone to rent with Samner because you would get more than just an experience in a nice vehicle. If I need to rent another car again I will be looking for his vehicle. Literally the best I have ever gotten. Such good people. I really thank him for allowing me and my family to rent with him. Everyone needs to rent with him NOW..!!!

Everything was absolutely perfect. It was my first Turo car rental and I’m hooked! My BMW was at the mechanic; and I was up against the wall to find an alternative plan for my church conference in San Diego. The SUV was awesome to drive, was spacious and smooth. It didn’t take 1-2 hours to wait and rent. The host was very polite and professional! I’m definitely going to make Turo my 1st choice when I need a fast rental service, courtesy and professional. The price was also great! Thank you so much for everything; because of you I didn’t miss a beat and was able to stay on schedule to and from San Diego. Had a wonderful trip from beginning to end. Also, when returning the rental, lots of ducks came out from nowhere to see me off lol that was the best feeling ever!

This was my first car rental using this app, and by far, it is the best car rental service offered. Jorge is absoluting the best host to rent from! The vehicle I rented was in excellent condition, very well maintained, clean inside and out, and problem free!! In fact, it was much more than I was expecting for the price I paid!! If anyone is needing a rental in Salt Lake, Jorge is the one that will hook you up!! I know I will be hitting Jorge up for my future car rentals!!

Had a great experience with Auro! The car was great, clean, and reliable, but the best part was how easy and smooth the whole rental process was. They were very helpful along the way, super communicative, and made everything stress-free. I really appreciated that there were no surprise cleanup fees either. Would definitely rent from them again!
