Renault TWINGO II 2014

Eric and Valerie have made it impossible for me to ever rent from one of the big international car rental companies again. This was my third rental with them and they are everything the big guys are not. They are friendly, efficient, customer focused are most importantly really easy to deal with. Their cars are great as well.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Remember to pull over at designated spots to fully appreciate the scenery, and always check weather conditions before embarking on your journey.

How can drivers prepare for winter conditions when renting a car in Gypsum?

Winter driving in Gypsum requires careful preparation. When selecting a rental car, consider an SUV or vehicle equipped with all-wheel drive for better traction on snowy roads. Pack warm clothing, blankets, and snacks in case of unexpected delays. Familiarize yourself with the car's features, especially the defrosting and heating systems. Clear all snow and ice from your vehicle before driving, including the roof, to ensure visibility and prevent hazards for other drivers. Drive slowly and increase your following distance on slippery roads. It's wise to check weather forecasts and road conditions regularly. Remember, winter tires can make a significant difference in handling and braking on icy surfaces, so inquire about this option for your rental.

Are there any recommended rest stops or scenic areas for breaks while driving around Gypsum?

What types of vehicles are best suited for exploring the mountainous terrain around Gypsum?

For navigating the mountainous terrain surrounding Gypsum, SUVs and vehicles with all-wheel drive are highly recommended. These types of rentals offer superior traction and stability on steep, winding roads and unpaved surfaces. A midsize or full-size SUV provides ample space for passengers and gear, making it ideal for day trips or extended adventures. For those seeking a more luxurious experience, consider a luxury SUV rental, which combines comfort with capability. If you're planning to stick to well-maintained roads, a standard car rental might suffice, but keep in mind that weather conditions can change rapidly in mountainous areas. Always choose a vehicle that matches your planned activities and comfort level with mountain driving.

Where can guests find reliable gas stations in and around Gypsum for longer drives?

Gypsum and its surrounding areas offer several reliable options for fueling up before embarking on longer drives. In Gypsum itself, you'll find gas stations conveniently located near the main thoroughfares, ensuring you can easily top up your rental car. For those venturing out of town, the nearby communities of Eagle and Edwards also provide dependable fueling options. It's advisable to plan your route in advance and identify gas stations along the way, especially when heading into more remote mountain areas. Keep in mind that in rural Colorado, distances between gas stations can be considerable, so it's wise to refuel when your tank is half empty. This precaution is particularly important if you've opted for a luxury car rental or an SUV, which may have higher fuel consumption.

How should drivers navigate rural backroads safely when exploring the areas surrounding Gypsum?

When venturing onto rural backroads around Gypsum, safety should be your top priority. First, ensure your rental car is suitable for the terrain—an SUV or car with higher clearance is often best. Drive at a moderate speed and be prepared for unexpected turns or wildlife crossings. Keep your headlights on, even during the day, to increase visibility. When encountering oncoming traffic on narrow roads, be prepared to yield the right-of-way. It's crucial to have a physical map as a backup, as GPS signals can be unreliable in remote areas. Stay on marked roads and respect private property. Lastly, inform someone of your planned route and expected return time, especially if exploring more isolated areas in your rental car.

What are the essential items to pack for long-distance driving trips starting from Gypsum?

When embarking on long-distance drives from Gypsum, packing smartly can enhance your journey. Essential items include a first-aid kit, water bottles, and non-perishable snacks. Given Colorado's variable weather, pack layers of clothing suitable for both warm and cool conditions. A physical map or road atlas is invaluable as a backup to GPS. For your rental car, consider bringing a phone charger, sunglasses for glare reduction, and a small flashlight. If you're venturing into remote areas, a basic tool kit and jumper cables can be helpful. Don't forget a camera to capture the scenic vistas along your route. Lastly, if you've opted for a luxury car rental or convertible, pack appropriate cleaning supplies to keep your vehicle looking pristine throughout your adventure.

Are there any tolls to be aware of when driving from Gypsum to nearby destinations?

When driving from Gypsum to nearby destinations, you'll be pleased to know that most roads in the immediate area are toll-free. The main highways and scenic byways around Gypsum, including those leading to popular mountain towns and ski resorts, do not require toll payments. This is good news for those who have opted for a car rental, as it simplifies your journey and keeps costs down. However, if your travels take you towards the Denver metropolitan area, you may encounter toll roads, particularly if using E-470 or the Northwest Parkway. It's always wise to plan your route in advance and check for any potential tolls, especially if you're driving a rental car to ensure you're prepared for any associated costs.
