This was my first time using Turo and my first time in Hawaii and this rental was absolutely fantastic. After looking through the name brand rental companies trying to guarantee either a convertible or a Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator with removable roof panels, I came across some Turo vehicles on Priceline and downloaded the actual Turo app. I found this green little Mini Cooper on "sale" for my 8 day rental and gave it a shot and I couldn't be happier. The car was waiting right at the airport at the parking garage, no waiting in lines, no surprise fees, just a sweet little convertible waiting for me to explore the entire island. If you're on the fence about renting a convertible, go for it, you won't be sorry. Just note, although it a 4 seater, this car is best suited for 2, especially with luggage. My family had rented another vehicle as well so it was rare that we put 4 adults in it, but when we did, it was a tight squeeze for those in the back, and wasn't as comfortable for me up front having to scoot forward for them. When it was just me, it was perfect. Kcjppk CC a lot to LA Auto Sport was super communicative, even though I had no issues whatsoever, Bren was very nice and responsive. I would definitely recommend them and would rent this car again in a heartbeat if I came back to Hawaii.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing experience! 10/10! Hands down one of the best car rental experiences we’ve ever had! The Mini Cooper was absolutely amazing and made our trip that much more enjoyable. But what really made this experience stand out was the host. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every possible way! He was incredibly accommodating, going the extra mile to drop off and pick up the car wherever we needed, even when those locations weren’t originally offered as options. He made the entire process completely stress-free, convenient, and effortless from start to finish. The customer service alone deserves more than five stars! We were so impressed that we’ve literally decided we’re exclusively booking through him and his vehicle inventory whenever we come back. That’s how incredible the experience was! If you’re considering renting from him, DO IT! You won’t regret it. Amazing car, outstanding service, and a host who genuinely cares about making your experience the best it can be. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Had an amazing time driving this mini convertible! The host has great communication and pick up and drop off was easy. I would rent again
Timur is fast to respond. The mini is a great car and perfect for navigating Waikiki
Corinne’s MINI convertible was exactly what we needed for the first half of our trip in Honolulu. Car was clean and ready to go, very fun to drive and easy to acclimate to. Corinne and her co-hosts Barry and Repeka were awesome and very prompt with communication. If you’re new to Turo or apprehensive about the drop off and pickup process then stick with pros like Corinne. It’s literally as easy (actually much easier) than dealing with traditional rental counters. For a reasonable fee, the MINI was dropped off and picked up outside the lobby of my hotel. It legitimately can’t be easier. Thanks!!
Jeff and the team are easy to talk to and are very accommodating. It was a last minute decision for me and my friend to rent a car and they made everything as smooth as possible. The car is spotless and pristine. And the price ? Very affordable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cute and cozy ride around Waikiki.
Very close drop off and pickup. Clean car! Drove great. Trunk open sensor is bad (but they told me it would be). Great experience! Would rent from them again!
Car was great. Perfect for going to the North Shore and scenic stops. I would rent this Mini again next time.
This is the second time I've come to rent a car and everything is always perfect
The car was perfect for the drive-around in Hawaii. The host was very friendly and nice I recommend anyone who’s looking for a convertible to rent this mini! I had a great time!
Absolutely amazing car that was my best decision to take convertible mini Cooper the host Meliza is absolutely amazing person always support me and was in contact. I'm going to rent this car again next time
Excellent experience from start to finish! Bryan was friendly, responsive, and made the rental process smooth and hassle-free. The car was exactly as described and perfect for exploring the island. I would definitely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Hawaiʻi.
