The quality of the car was great. As we have never used Turo, I didn't take photos but have a video of the car if needed. We notified our host and the car was available for pickup at 12:45 on May 15th. We should not be charged a late fee or for any damage to the car. Ed Christy

I’m a local that needed a cheap, but more importantly reliable car while mine was being worked on, and this car was definitely reliable. She zips and has great milage. The owner was easy to communicate with and fast to respond. I definitely recommend. I wasn’t too sure about the flames at first, but I decided to lean into it. I fondly called it the Hotwheels ride! It’s a great talking point and the kids loved it.
