Best experience I’ve had with the TURO car rental process. Communication was 5 star. Paul is a true professional. I had no problems with the car throughout the week. I was confident that if anything went wrong, he would be available with a list of trouble shooting instructions. Great price, great car, great communication.

Nissan Altima 2025

The Nissan Altima was great. Good mpg, clean, lots of power, great response time. The car needed to be picked up at an off site location called, economy car rental at 2367 India street. A proximity 2 1/2 miles from the airport. You will need to find a ride to their location. The price of taxi will be $30, however we took the free shuttle to the car rental center then walked 20 minutes the rest of the way. The team at this location did a great job, fast, friendly, polite, and after returning they able to offer a ride back to the airport. We would rent this Altima again, and I would recommend this vehicle.

Easy pick up and drop off. Car was very clean inside. A/C blows super cold even when it's 100 degrees out!! The windows are not tinted so I suggest bringing your own sun shades if you are going to be parked anywhere but the shade in the summer. Luckily I had those and that made my trip much better. The flip down visors do have the extenders to help block sun while driving thankfully. Charging prices are comparable to current gas prices - about $45 to get 250 miles of charge over a few sessions which is the same as I get from a full tank in my Toyota Yaris. This car DOES have the CHAdeMO fast charge input so it's 30-50 seconds per mile to charge depending on the fast charger & whether you're running the car (AC/radio) or it's fully off. Radio speakers were a little blown out so I had to adjust some settings to listen to my audiobooks but it was easy to do. I had no problem driving from the pickup spot to Kyle, then to the airport, and back into town without needing a charge which was about 90 miles, mostly highway. Just like any Turo rental make sure to take your own photos at pickup and drop off since scratches and such aren't usually documented after every drive by the car owners which seems standard in my experience. Overall a great deal, best price in town especially for a last minute rental. I requested the rental at 9pm on a Tuesday after my personal car died and was able to get this the next morning with no issue. Will definitely keep them in mind when I need a rental near by. Thanks again!

Directions were very precise for both pick up and return (although I didn't realize there was an additional step to checkout in Turo). Car drove great and it was perfect for our trip. Will definitely rent via Jonathan if we are back in PHX. Better experience than renting from the big car rental companies

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.

The vehicle was extremely clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Communication was outstanding from start to finish.

It’s clear the host takes great care of both their vehicles and their customers. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and overall professionalism throughout the rental process. I would absolutely rent from this host again in the future and highly recommend them to others looking for a top-quality rental experience.

Solid rental experience. Car was as described. Had no issues and the host was communicative when I needed to change the reservation by a few days or hours. Super convenient location near the airport.

Subaru Outback 2013

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.

Highly recommend! First of all Rigid was very helpful from the beginning. I wasn’t exactly sure what days I would be arriving at GSO so I had to keep rescheduling the rental, but Rigid was very understanding and willing to work with me! Very well communicated from making the reservation to returning the car. Very easy pickup, the car was dropped off right outside the arrival level, so no long walk to the parking lot or rental car center etc. Clean car with good mpg! Will definitely rent again next time I coming through GSO airport!

When renting a car in Groveland, it's crucial to prepare for Florida's unique weather conditions. For extreme heat, ensure your rental has a well-functioning air conditioning system. Keep sunglasses and sunscreen handy, and park in shaded areas when possible. During heavy rains, which are common in Florida, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and reduce speed. Check that your rental's windshield wipers are in good condition. It's wise to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls before setting out. Consider renting an SUV or full-size car for better stability in wet conditions. Always keep water in the vehicle to stay hydrated in the heat and be prepared for sudden weather changes.

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

Groveland, being a smaller city, has relatively straightforward parking regulations. Most areas offer free parking, but it's essential to pay attention to any posted signs indicating time limits or restricted zones. The downtown area has ample street parking and some public lots. When visiting local attractions or parks, designated parking areas are typically available. If you're renting a larger vehicle like a van or luxury SUV, be mindful of size restrictions in certain parking spots. As with any city, avoid parking in front of fire hydrants or in handicap spaces without proper permits. Always lock your rental car and remove valuables from sight when parked.

What types of rental cars are recommended for exploring Groveland and its surrounding areas?

For exploring Groveland and its surroundings, versatile vehicles are ideal. A full-size car offers comfort for long drives while navigating both city streets and rural roads. If you're planning to venture into more rugged terrain or state parks, consider an SUV rental. These vehicles provide better ground clearance and handling on varied surfaces. For families or groups, a minivan can offer ample space and comfort. If you're looking to add some excitement to your trip, a luxury car rental can make your Florida adventure more memorable. Electric vehicles are also becoming popular for eco-conscious travelers exploring the area. Ultimately, choose a vehicle that matches your itinerary and comfort preferences.

Where can guests find reliable gas stations in and around Groveland?

Groveland and its surrounding areas have several reliable gas stations to keep your rental car fueled up. The main thoroughfares, such as State Road 50 and US-27, have multiple options available. You'll find well-known chains as well as local stations scattered throughout the city and its outskirts. It's advisable to fuel up before embarking on longer trips, especially if you're heading towards more rural areas. Many of these stations also offer convenience stores for snacks and supplies. When renting a luxury or full-size vehicle, which might require premium fuel, check with the station attendant to ensure they have the appropriate grade available.

What are some key differences between driving in Groveland's rural areas versus nearby urban centers?

Driving in Groveland's rural areas differs significantly from navigating nearby urban centers. In rural Groveland, you'll encounter more two-lane roads, less traffic, and potentially unpaved surfaces. Be prepared for wildlife crossings and reduced lighting at night. Urban centers, on the other hand, feature multi-lane highways, heavier traffic, and more complex intersections. In cities, you'll need to be more aware of pedestrians and cyclists. Parking can be more challenging and often comes with fees in urban areas, while rural Groveland offers more free and open parking. When renting a car, consider how these differences might impact your choice - a full-size car or SUV might be more comfortable for rural driving, while a compact car could be easier to maneuver in city settings.

How should guests plan for a comfortable road trip experience when renting a car in Groveland?

To ensure a comfortable road trip experience when renting a car in Groveland, start by choosing the right vehicle for your needs. A full-size car or luxury SUV can provide ample space and comfort for longer journeys. Pack essentials like water, snacks, and a first-aid kit. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle's features before setting out, especially the air conditioning controls for Florida's heat. Plan your route in advance, noting rest stops and points of interest. Consider downloading offline maps in case of poor cellular coverage in rural areas. Bring entertainment options like audiobooks or playlists. Don't forget sunglasses and sunscreen for protection against Florida's strong sun. Lastly, ensure your rental agreement covers your planned travel distance to avoid any unexpected fees.

Are there any tolls to consider when driving around Groveland or other parts of Florida?

While Groveland itself doesn't have toll roads, you may encounter tolls when venturing to other parts of Florida. The Florida Turnpike, a major north-south route, is a toll road that passes relatively near to Groveland. If you're planning trips to larger cities or attractions, you might encounter toll roads or bridges. Many of these use electronic tolling systems, so it's worth discussing toll options with your car rental provider. Some rentals may come equipped with toll transponders, which can be convenient but may incur additional fees. Alternatively, you can pay tolls online after your trip in many cases. When planning your routes, consider using mapping apps that can show toll-free alternatives if you prefer to avoid these charges.

Are weekend car rentals typically pricier than weekday rentals in Groveland?

Rates may differ between weekdays and weekends. Try adjusting your trip dates to find the best price for your schedule. Look out for savings on longer bookings, and booking ahead while being flexible with your trip times can also help you find better deals.

What can I do to prevent unexpected fees when renting a car on Turo?

To prevent unexpected fees when you rent a car on Turo, be sure to return the car on time. All applicable fees are clearly displayed in the Turo app.
