Recent reviews
This was first time using Turo and it was not bad. I was in a hurryand the area I needed a vehicle in, all major rental companies showed nothing available. Turn was a great help and my host was easy to work with to get this done. I do recommend.
This is my second trip booked with John and I couldn’t be happier with the communication and service he extends. The car was beautiful and clean and drove very smoothly. I will definitely be returning and look forward to another trip so I can rent from him again. Thanks John!
Matthew was an amazing host from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the entire trip and he was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. As first-time Tesla renters, we really appreciated how helpful and informative he was. The whole process was smooth and stress-free from pickup to drop-off. Highly recommend renting from Matthew and would absolutely rent from him again in the future.
