Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2019

We had the best experience renting this Jeep! From start to finish, the whole process was so easy and seamless. The host was absolutely brilliant, so friendly, helpful and quick to respond whenever we had any questions, which made everything completely stress free. The Jeep was spotless, in great condition and lovely to drive, making it the perfect car for our USA road trip. Collection and drop off couldn’t have been any easier. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend both the Jeep and the host to anyone looking to rent a car. Thank you for helping make our trip so special! 😊

Could not have had a better experience with Erik’s Jeep for our 2 week trip. The vehicle itself was great, clean; and exactly the kind of car you want for a SoCal visit. He was communicative throughout the entire process, especially after Turo changed the policies about the pickup-drop off location during our trip and we had to change the drop off. The price was reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the vehicle. We would absolutely rent from Erik when we come back next year.

I really enjoyed my 2018 Jeep rental! The car was clean, comfortable, and easy to drive. It handled great on both city roads and rough terrain. Plenty of space, smooth ride, and fun to drive — perfect for a trip. I’d definitely rent a Jeep again!

Jeep Wrangler 2026

This is a beautiful brand new 2026 Jeep Wrangler that still has the new car smell. The hosts (Anna / Giorgio) are very kind and polite and clearly tried their best to make to make it a positive experience. A couple of notes, that should not reflect badly on the vehicle or the host. As an international traveller using an eSIM card, I did not have access to a phone or to SMS messaging. I did not expect that I would be required to place a phone call for a shuttle pick up from the airport to access the vehicle in a (too far to walk to) parking lot. This seriously impacted the vehicle pick up process, which was not at all smooth. We stood outside the airport for a while wondering what we should do. (Thankfully the very kind and friendly shuttle driver just so happened to swing by to check to see if there was anyone waiting. This helped to counter balance the very rude parking attendant who claimed he ‘forgot’ the reservation code that the shuttle driver had just given him, while I tried to access the shotty signal connection to find the code again). The side and back windows are also heavily tinted making it hard to see out at night, as well as during the day when the (beautiful but also glaringly bright) California sun demands (polarized) sunglasses.

I was staying on vacation for a long duration and I wanted a reliable car ,easy pick up and at a good price and all of the above were met. I am a returning customer with Armen, I knew the car I previously hired from him was also brilliant. I really enjoyed driving the Jeep! Armen is quick and fast at responding if you have any questions. We had an unexpected flight cancellation that changed the times for drop off and he altered the arrangements to make it more smooth during this stressful time when trying to sort out other flights.

I’m very happy with my experience! We had the car for 11 days and everything went perfectly. The car is recent, clean, very well maintained and stable on the road. We had absolutely no issues during the entire trip — no breakdowns, no warning lights, nothing at all. The host was also extremely responsive and available whenever we had a question, always replying almost immediately. I felt very reassured throughout the trip. I’m very satisfied and would definitely rent this car again. Thank you for everything! 😊

Jeep Grand Cherokee 2016

This booking was completely satisfactory from start to finish. Pick up/drop off was nice and smooth. Ended up needing the car for another day and extending my trip. It was hassle free and cost efficient. Fuel was really reliable. We didn’t hit a 1/4 tank til we got in the area to drop it off. The meter wasn’t even close to half when we arrived to our stay, plus a few stops. The truck was very roomy, spacious, and smooth. The air and seat settings were very satisfying for both of us. Veeery comfy! My gf is really short and she was easily adjusted to her comfort and settings. Adding extra drivers is always a plus to stay safe! The car was very clean and cool how everything was reset for the new driver. Not sure if the cigarette lighter little charger adapter thing worked but we rolled over to the cable input options no biggy. It does have a few common blemishes around the exterior so just be sure to take ur pics but nothing out of the ordinary! The truck felt really reliable overall and truly safe! I would 10/10 book again! Thank you guys for trusting me with your vehicle. Enjoy

Erik saved me from a big hassle! He left the jeep at the airport turo parking and was very communicative with everything. He provided pictures, links to how to get to the car and instructions on how to get the key. This is the 2nd time I rent from him and I’m very well satisfied with the service. If ur like me reading the reviews to see if this is someone u can rely on then take my advice and I promise you!! U won’t regret renting with him ! I will definitely come back to rent from Erik again. I appreciate you for going above and beyond with everything you’re a great host and a great person! God bless 🙏🏻

This was, by far, the best car rental experience I’ve had in a while. Best in LA was prompt with their messages and made it extremely easy to check in and out with the vehicle. The truck was clean and perfect for my family and me. I’ll definitely be using their services again.
