Jeep Wrangler 4xe 2025

This Jeep is awesome! There is not a better way to drive around than with the top off. You can open it with a single button. The Jeep is immaculate and very fast. If you aren’t used to driving electric or hybrid know it’s so quiet you won’t know it started! The electric definitely saves on gas and most hotels have chargers and the cost is $15 (a fraction of gas) so that is handy. The parking is not at the airport. It’s out at Ride Share Parking South… about 25 mins from the airport. Not drastically different from rental car locations. The only downside if there is one, is the shuttles only come every 30 mins and sometimes get full before you can get on. So give yourself an hour for pick up and drop off. When you arrive at the airport and get your bags on level 5 you will follow the signs to the ride share and rental car area outside. If you go out door 506 to the third platform you’ll see signs for the “parking spot”. The sign will be right yellow with black polka dots! Coach was an amazing host! I highly recommend. You can’t rent a Jeep this nice/fast with the rental companies and you will pay a lot more!

Just brought back my Jeep rental. First time with Turo. Was a leary but Boyko was awesome. Easy pickup/drop off. Car was perfect for our family with room for gear. Price can't be beat and you skip the waitlist debacle on the car ferry. Will be renting again.Thank you Boyko !!

I needed to rent a car last minute for a work related trip. It was Memorial Day and enterprise was close. I was able to find Jose and his Jeep Grand Cherokee. He responded within minutes and told me he would have the vehicle ready at the time I requested for. Car was clean and gas tank full. I will book again for my next trip.

The jeep was very clean; also got a lot of compliments on it by other tourists! We loved using the “one touch” automatic moonroof; no need to take the roof “apart” like standard jeeps. Great for seeing all of the views Kauai has to offer and also convenient for Kauai’s tropical weather (unpredictable showers lol). This was the main reason I rented this Jeep vs others; we spent a lot of time enjoying views with the windows down and roof back. The key locker was very easy to use. The whole process from airport arrival to driving the car and then returning was seamless. Lauren was always attentive to any questions that I had and gave great details on how to access the keys and how to return the car. This was my first time driving a Jeep and I can see now why people love them so much. Definitely recommend a truck/suv like this one for your Hawaiian adventures. If you are ever on Kauai, please rent this vehicle specifically!!! You will not regret it!!!

Amir is the only guy I will rent from. From start to finish Amir and team were always available and answer within minutes. The jeep was great and I will be using his cars in the future. If you are looking to rent a car in Orlando… look no further than Amir and his car rental!

Jeep Cherokee 2019

Considering how small the airport is and that the car was located there made it such an ideal choice for travelers. I usually go through other car rental companies, because how simple it is but I chose this one because they had an add on for coolers which has saved me lots of money on food on this one week trip. Their instructions were very clear with pictures that the process was seamless. Paul and Mary aren’t just renting out their vehicle, they make sure you’re having a good experience! The biggest thing for me is communication and they are very responsive whenever I have concerns about the car. They’re knowledgeable about their Jeep which is important for car owners. I would rent from them again in the future :) Thank you Paul and Mary!

The car was very clean, full tank as promised and Drake was so personable and quick to reply. His directions were clear which was helpful since this was my first time using Turo. No hidden fees and didn’t get “screwed over” like I have with popular car rental companies. Highly recommend renting a car from Drake!

Jeep Wrangler 4xe 2023

This Jeep was absolutely awesome. Prince was super easy to work with. Drop off was easier than I could’ve ever imagined. He was at my hotel with keys in hand right when I needed it. He was waiting at the airport for pickup so we got to let our trip last as long as possible and didn’t need to pay for an uber. Way easier than a rental car company. Car was squeaky clean. If you’re considering a jeep in Hawaii and don’t go for an electric convertible like this one you’re making a mistake. Whole experience was absolute luxury at an incredible price. Can’t wait till I come back and rent this jeep again. 10/10!

10/10 experience with PJ and his white Jeep Wrangler!! Everything went smoothly and I would absolutely rent from him again the next time I’m on Oahu. PJ was extremely responsive before and during my trip and never took more than a couple minutes to respond! Pickup was easy, the car was clean and in great condition, perfect car for dropping the roof in Hawaii, drop off instructions were very clear. I also got to meet PJ in person during drop off and he is such a friendly and kind person. It feels right to support a local guy like him instead of a large car rental company. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! Thank you PJ!!! 🌺🚙☀️🌈

Great car and great communication from Brian! Easy and clear directions for both pickup and drop off had no issues with either. Had the Jeep for just over a week and was a blast to drive around the island, comfortable like a SUV but just compact enough to get into tight spaces at the beaches when needed! Would definitely rent again next time I’m on the island!

We had an excellent experience with Sofía’s Jeep. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and clear with all the information from the very beginning, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The vehicle is in great condition and absolutely worth the price. It drives very smoothly, feels stable and comfortable on the road, and has an excellent sound system that made the trip even more enjoyable. My wife and I truly enjoyed it to the fullest. We will definitely rent this Jeep again from Sofía the next time we’re in Tampa. Highly recommended!

Jeep Patriot 2014

Loved the car and excited I finally got to drive a jeep lol My only quarrels were that the radio doesn’t work so it was a lot of awkward silent driving if I couldn’t play music from my phone (as a singer that was kinda frustrating) And the right blinker was a little difficult to work cause it didn’t want to stay on so I had to hold it in place!
