Ricardo absolutely saved my Christmas🎄 His vehicle was available for a last minute reservation on Christmas Eve and made my trip possible. Right out of the gate communication was a 1000/10 he is very swift when responding and his care is undeniable. I wasn’t expecting the snow storm but it was no trouble at all because the vehicle held its own on the questionable roads. The car was clean, reliable and even plays a cute little jingle when turning it on and off 🎶 Ricardo is a top notch host and certainly has all my future business whenever I need to rent a car. Thank you Ricardo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I had a good trip the car was reliable The price was great and I would recommend anyone to rent their cars... Anytime I called or texted they responded back quickly Great service....


The car ran well and the owner was incredibly responsive and accommodating to scheduling changes. Cosmetically the car was a little more worn than expected, but there was no issues with the function or driving experience of the car. It was a great short rental.
What a great car! David was a fantastic host. Very responsive and understanding! Rent from him if you’re in Hartford!

Rent a car and explore Hartford, CT
Considering it was established in 1635 (almost 400 years ago!), Hartford has developed so many things to do that it'd be impossible to list them all. From the nation's oldest public park (Bushnell Park) to the oldest public art museum in the States (Wadsworth Atheneum), there's a vast amount of historic activities. With that much behind it, there's also a ton of newer things to do! Here are just a few.
Rent the perfect car
World-renowned author Mark Twain raised his family and produced some of his most well-known works in Hartford more than a hundred years ago. Today, his home is a National Historic Landmark as the Mark Twain House and Museum. With events featuring famous authors like Stephen King, rotating exhibits showcasing Twain and the area's history, and even local food vendors, it's worth a visit whether you have a love of literature or you're a history buff.
With a whopping nine stories of activities, traveling exhibits like The Science Behind Pixar and Forest of Illusions, and even a rooftop garden, you could spend an entire day at the Connecticut Science Center and still not experience it all. 360 degrees of interactive art, science, and music stimulate your senses in the Sight and Sound exhibit, while Exploring Space lets you live like an astronaut for the day. Whether you grew up loving edutainment or just want to have some fun, the Connecticut Science Center has something for everyone no matter their age.
This last one isn't specific to just Hartford, but more than two dozen breweries and distilleries in the area make the state's capital city the perfect place to tackle the trail. Hop in your rental car and experience the highlights of Connecticut's local spirits community, take a road trip to some of the surrounding distillery tours, or blaze your own trail and find your new favorite craft cider, spirit, or beer.

Pickup near or at Airports
With harsh storms called nor'easters, stop-and-go rush-hour traffic, and unpredictable weather even at the best of times, you'll want to be prepared for Hartford's unique driving conditions. Here are a few tips to make your drive as smooth as possible.
Hartford's weather can sadly be unpredictable—to paraphrase Mark Twain in 1876, there's only one thing certain about the weather in New England: there's going to be plenty of it. September and October are the rainiest months, yet summer is actually the rainiest season of the year. (Twain was definitely right!) Watch out for nor'easters in winter and early spring; Hartford already gets a good amount of snow, but a nor'easter can come in so strong that power goes out throughout the city (albeit temporarily). Overall, you'll want to keep your wits about you when on the roads in Hartford and be confident in your driving no matter the weather.
That being said, don't be scared. Most streets have a 25 MPH limit, so it's easy to stay safe and in control of your vehicle even in inclement weather. Highways range from 50 to 65 MPH, but crews maintain them when snow hits.
You'll find multiple parking lots downtown, and locals say they don't tend to be crowded... unless there's an event. If you're heading into Hartford's downtown area for an event, plan accordingly and head out early. All lots and garages are paid, with varying fees depending on the individual lot. Lucky enough to find street parking? It's free on Saturdays and Sundays! If you catch one outside of those days, just be aware that some meters are time-limited (e.g., 2-hour spots).
Nope! There's not a single active toll road in all of Connecticut, let alone Hartford.
Whether it's Shell, Mobil, or another brand, there's no shortage of gas stations throughout Hartford. EV chargers are a slightly different story – you'll find a good amount of them around Hartford's downtown area, but as you get further away, they become more scarce. Luckily, you'll still find some along I-84.
Downtown Hartford is definitely walkable, and if your lodgings are near a bus stop, locals say the bus system isn't half bad. If not, though, or if you want the maximum flexibility possible, a car rental in Hartford is the way to go.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them.

You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
