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!

First, I contemplated leaving a 4 star review for a few reasons. However, the prompt response to the issue with the original vehicle reserved, partly due to luck that someone happened to be onsite with the car, and the flexibility with returning the vehicle without requiring washing and vacuuming is deserving of some grace. The price for 5 day/4 night rental was fantastic, around $150 total. I certainly didn't expect a car in pristine shape for the cost. This car is a part of a Turo "rental company" fleet. It seems like a company that buys cheap, used cars to rent out. There are 12-15 cars parked behind a strip mall 8-10ish minutes from the airport in an area I was glad we were picking up and dropping off midday rather than the evening. The hybrid we originally reserved had stained seats and a lot of cosmetic wear. One tire looked like it was on a spare wheel and didn't have a lot of life left, honestly. A lot of the roads in San Diego aren't exactly in great shape, I was concerned about getting a flat. When we turned the car on to leave we immediately got check engine lights and a "pull over immediately" message. Fortunately, someone with the "rental company" was on site and qas able to quickly switched cars for us. It wasn't a hybrid, though. We didn't plan on a lot of driving, but originally opted for a hybrid to save money since we had two days of freeway driving. We definitely spent more on gas then originally planned. If there wasn't someone available onsite to help, it could have been a much longer ordeal which is a terrible way to start a vacation. Communication day of pick up felt slow with the owner. I didn't think to look back to the 2 month old message about how to find the car. I received a message from Turo saying we'd be sent details the day before the trip. I never got that confirmation text or measage the day before or day of pick up from the actual rental owner. When I first reached out to the rental company through the turo app to find the car at pick up time, I didn't get a response. I finally found a way to text someone about 20 minutes later. We did get a pretty quick response that way, but it's frustrating to be in a random parking lot messaging through an app and not get a response. The Honda interior is definitely cleaner than the hybrid we reserved, but the exterior, not so much. Its been side swiped and has a lot of sun damage. The TPMS light was on the whole time, but the actual tire pressure was fine. There was also a rattle and grinding noise when accelerating from a stop or on a hill, but it didn't cause an issue. The car drives fine for a 14-15 year old car, it's just a little noisy and you feel all the bumps on the road. I understand with the cheaper cost of renting through Turo amd choosing a 12-15 year old car, I'm not getting a newer car like I would with a standard rental company or paying more for a newer car. That said, with my last few Turo rentals, it feels a lot of these Turo "rental companies" aren't checking their cars or doing much more than standard maintenance as frequently as they should when they have over 150,000 miles on them. The confirmation message also suggested the cars are kept in great shape. These cars were not in great shape by any stretch of the imagination. No one wants to be on vacation and have their car break down or even be worried that the car they're driving is gonna get a flat or break down.

I love the rental cars from Mohammed. He and his staff is friendly and helpful. The cars are small and good at gas. I would suggest anyone to rent a car with Mohammed.

Rented this last minute because my Mom didn't tell me until the day before my trip that she had no car. Was pretty easy for the most part. Finding the shuttle at the airport for the car rental area, was a little difficult for me. But you can always ask someone at the airport. Then I followed Turo given directions to the car. It's outside of the rental area but still easy to find because the lot is literally labeled "Turo." As for the car, I DID NOT MIND these "problems" with the car at all, but you should be informed that the car: Cons - Smelled INTENSELY LIKE WEED. I tried to spray it with multiple Febreze, etc. It helped but it still stinks a bit. - The car door lock was extremely finicky, you must PRESS AND HOLD the button it seems. - Crumbs in the backseat (no big deal) - Not sure but seems like occasional light scraping sound sometimes when driving around on normal road. - Not a problem per se, but just know the car has quite a bit of scratches compared to other Turo rentals. Just be sure to document as much as you can. Pros - Good Value for the price - ICE COLD A/C. (Although I visited in winter, so idk how it holds up to the Vegas heat, but again better than my childhood cars with zero A/C) - Pretty quiet car overall (I mention the scrape for the owner to consider getting it checked out, but nothing to make you feel embarrassed while driving.) Overall, I grew up poor, and this car was much better than most of the ones of my childhood, so I didn't mind at all. Just tried my best to document them that's all. But anyone renting who these things might bother should be aware of it. Anyways, thank you so much Nick!!! I would definitely rent again!

Andre was great, the car was somewhat still dirty, dust, dirt, what appeared to be cigarette ashes, animal hair, sticky spills around the cup holders in the center console and the door panels. Crumbs and dust/dirt left in the door handles and cubby's. In the center console cup holders and cubbys. On the top of the dashboard, around the steering column and gauges. Sticky dusty windows and stereo buttons. Rear view mirror had sticky smudges on it. All the windows inside were dusty and dirty with smudges and idk what really.. the car had a bad smell of animals like dogs, and faint cigarette smell.. however as I got further into my trip I got used to it and wasn't bothered by it anymore. A lot of these issues honestly didn't bother me very much. I was more worried of being blamed for them when I returned the car. Unfortunately I was put behind schedule due to a passenger side headlight and passenger side tail light being burned out. However upon informing andre, he was very quick with a solution to take the car to valvoline where they were able to repair the lights before I left for my trip. If I wasn't already running late It wouldn't of bothered me. Andre was also very quick to reimburse me the whole price of the repairs immediately upon me sending him the receipt of the work.. I very much appreciated that! I also appreciate that instead of canceling my trip Andre worked out a way to have the lights fixed with no trouble of my own. He was always quick to respond to all of my very long messages full of questions. This is my first time using turo and I did not know the ins and outs of the rental process. He was able to guide me threw every step all while being polite and keeping his patience with me! Hah. I ended up running behind schedule on my way back as well and was surprised how simple and easy it was to change the return time from noon to after 9 p.m. all without adding any fees to my bill! That was very helpful of andre to allow me to do. I also ended up being a little passed my return time due to vacuuming the car and dusting everything to my best ability. So that andre wouldn't have to deal with someone else's mess and the next person who rents the vehicle will not have to worry about it either. I had no issues with doing that for him after he was so helpful with me! The vehicle was a little different then what im used to. But in no time I settled in with the car and had a very enjoyable trip! I would forsure rent another vehicle from andre in the future due to how well he accommodated me on this trip. Even tho the car had the mess, that was not andre, But left over from previous renters. He even made sure to have a snow brush and ice scraper in the car for me. But unfortunately the previous renters also took that with them. Im sure there will be a new one for the next person who rents the car because thats how much andre cares about his customers !! 5 stars for andre !!! Whoever returned his vehicle like that should be ashamed and think about how it would feel if someone treated your things the same way! Once again THANK YOU andre! I will reach out to you next time I need to rent a car.. I appreciate all your help thru the process! I appreciate your professionalism and quick responses to all my questions and thank you for making sure the vehicle was 100% good to go for me before I left and wouldn't of been able to fix it. 5 of 5 stars for andre !!

My credit card wasn’t working for some odd reason and rental companies wouldn’t let me rent a car so I booked this Turo last minute and it was a reasonable price for five days. I will do it again when I come back to Vancouver in August.

Excellent 1st experience using Turo. The host was very responsive and timely. The vehicle was in great condition and rode very well. The price was a good deal and would definitely use this again as opposed to a major car rental facility. It was a simple process overall and very straightforward.

The host, Tadeh was exceptional. The very best in customer service. I had the best experience with renting from Tadeh. Everything was so easy; Tadeh was super accommodating, very kind, he went way above and beyond what I reasonably expected. Tadeh is a thousand times better than AVIS, HERTZ, Enterprise, Thrifty, Budget, Dollar, and all the major car rental. Tadeh gave me the best deal; the major car rentals do not come close; I saved a lot of money. The car was great, very good on the gas mileage; and very clean. Tadeh made sure pick-up location was very convenient for me, Tadeh drove the car to where I was; it’s the best. Tadeh also picked up the car when I was done and again made sure it was convenient for me. I am very grateful for this. Once I return from my deployment, absolutely renting from Tadeh again; will be telling all my friends and colleagues. This is just amazing customer service. I am very appreciative for everything. THANK YOU

Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2026

“10/10 experience. I rented the car for a week and the total came out to around $400, which was an amazing price for a brand new 2026 vehicle. The entire process was incredibly easy from start to finish. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient, and I loved that I didn’t have to physically meet or talk to anyone. The key was waiting in a lockbox by the window, which honestly made the experience even better for me. The car itself was spotless, smelled clean, and drove perfectly. It was also amazing on gas — I drove all the way through Saturday and the tank was only halfway. The host responded quickly to messages and was super helpful the entire time. Overall, this was one of the easiest and best rental experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely rent from them again and honestly would choose this over Enterprise or Hertz any day

Fandi and our cohost provided excellent communication throughout the process. Our car, 2020 Honda Insight was clean and in good working order. Performance was good around the hills and mountains in the greater San Francisco area. The drop off at the San Jose airport was excellent. Why go to the “normal” car rental companies!

Very reliable car with great gas mileage, interior features, and overall quality. I had ended up needing to extend the rental twice and both times the host responded within minutes and made it simple and easy to rearrange a drop off time. I recommend this host to all people looking to rent a car and would love to book with them again. Price, communication, and experience 11/10.

How can visitors prepare for driving in Hawaii's tropical climate and occasional heavy rainfall?

When driving in Ewa Beach's tropical climate, preparation is key. Equip your rental car with a good pair of sunglasses to combat glare from both sun and rain-slicked roads. Consider choosing a car with air conditioning for comfort during humid days. For occasional downpours, ensure your rental has functioning windshield wipers and headlights. It's wise to keep a light jacket or umbrella in the car for sudden weather changes. Be cautious on wet roads, especially in areas prone to flooding. Familiarize yourself with your car's controls before setting out, including how to activate windshield wipers and fog lights if needed. By being prepared, you can enjoy a safe and comfortable driving experience in Ewa Beach's diverse weather conditions.

Are there any specific parking regulations or facilities to be aware of in Ewa Beach?

In Ewa Beach, parking regulations are important to keep in mind. Many residential areas have specific street parking rules, so always check for posted signs indicating time limits or restrictions. Beach parks often have designated parking lots, but they can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Some areas near popular beaches may have parking meters, so keep some change handy. Be mindful of private property and avoid blocking driveways. In commercial areas, look for public parking lots or street parking with clear signage. Remember that parking on sidewalks or in bike lanes is prohibited. By respecting local parking regulations, you'll ensure a hassle-free experience while exploring Ewa Beach in your rental car.

What types of vehicles are recommended for exploring the diverse terrain around Ewa Beach?

For exploring Ewa Beach and its surrounding areas, versatile vehicles are ideal. A mid-size SUV offers a good balance of comfort and capability, suitable for both city driving and light off-road adventures. If you're planning beach trips, consider a car with higher ground clearance to navigate sandy parking areas. For families or groups, a spacious van can provide ample room for passengers and beach gear. If you're sticking to paved roads and prioritizing fuel efficiency, a compact car or sedan might suffice. Luxury sedans are perfect for those wanting to travel in style. Whatever your choice, ensure your rental car is equipped to handle Ewa Beach's warm climate and diverse driving conditions.

Where can guests find reliable gas stations in and around Ewa Beach?

Ewa Beach and its surrounding areas offer several reliable options for refueling your rental car. You'll find well-known gas stations along major roads like Fort Weaver Road and Farrington Highway. Many of these stations are conveniently open 24/7, ensuring you can fill up at any time. Some locations also feature mini-marts for snacks and essentials. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the fuel type your rental car requires before filling up. To save time and avoid running low on fuel, consider topping up your tank when it reaches half-full, especially if you're planning longer drives around the island. Remember, prices can vary between stations, so a little comparison can help you find the best deal.

How should drivers navigate rush hour traffic when traveling between Ewa Beach and Honolulu?

Navigating rush hour traffic between Ewa Beach and Honolulu requires some strategy. The morning commute towards Honolulu and evening return to Ewa Beach can be particularly busy. Consider adjusting your travel times to avoid peak hours if possible. Using navigation apps can help you find alternative routes or alert you to traffic conditions. The H-1 freeway is a main artery but can get congested, so familiarize yourself with alternate routes like Farrington Highway. Carpooling lanes are available on some major roads. Always check weather forecasts before long drives, as rain can impact traffic flow. Remember to stay patient and allow extra time for your journey during busy periods. By planning ahead and staying flexible, you can make your commute between Ewa Beach and Honolulu more manageable.

What are some key differences between driving in urban Honolulu and the more rural areas of Oahu?

Driving in urban Honolulu differs significantly from navigating Oahu's rural areas. In Honolulu, expect more traffic congestion, one-way streets, and limited parking. You'll need to be alert for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation. Rural areas, on the other hand, offer more relaxed driving but require attention to different factors. Roads may be narrower and less well-lit, and you might encounter wildlife or agricultural vehicles. In rural parts, gas stations and services can be more spread out, so plan your trips accordingly. Beach areas may have sandy or unpaved roads, where a more robust rental car could be beneficial. Always adhere to speed limits, which tend to be lower in rural areas. Whether in urban or rural Oahu, staying aware of your surroundings ensures a safe driving experience.

Are there any toll roads or bridges to be aware of when driving around Oahu?

Good news for those exploring Ewa Beach and the rest of Oahu in their rental cars - there are currently no toll roads or bridges on the island. This means you can freely navigate the island's highways and byways without worrying about toll charges or special passes. The absence of tolls makes it easier to budget for your trips and explore at your leisure. However, it's always good to stay informed about any potential changes in road regulations. While driving around Oahu, you'll encounter various types of roads, from multi-lane highways to scenic coastal routes, all toll-free. This freedom allows you to focus on enjoying the beautiful landscapes and attractions that Ewa Beach and the surrounding areas have to offer.

What can I do to prevent unexpected fees when renting a car in Ewa Beach?

To prevent unexpected fees, make sure to return the car on time. All applicable fees are clearly displayed in the Turo app.

Are weekend car rentals typically pricier than weekday rentals in Ewa Beach?

Rates can vary between weekdays and weekends. Look out for savings on longer bookings and try adjusting your trip dates to find the best option for your schedule.
