The car was excellent! The car was very clean on the inside and the outside. It still has that new car smell. With Christian, the host and the Turo app, it was a very smooth and easy car rental process. Definitely five stars!

This was my second time renting this vehicle, and the experience was just as great as the first. The pickup process is always quick and easy. The car is conveniently parked, making it very accessible, and the host grants vehicle access through the app ahead of time, which makes everything seamless. The car performs well, is reliable, and has been exactly what I needed for my trips. I already have another reservation and cannot wait! I highly recommend both the vehicle and the host to others.

Great experience renting through Turo! The car pickup process was easy and smooth, and the car was very clean upon arrival. One thing that really stood out was that the owner offered the option to use his existing Mister Car Wash membership to keep the car clean during our trip, which saved us both money and stress. We’ve used Turo several times before and this is the first time anyone has offered something like that. Communication was quick, and the customer service was very pleasant throughout the rental. Would definitely rent again!

Wendy was an exceptional host from start to finish. The vehicle was extremely clean and well-prepared when I arrived for pickup, which immediately made a great first impression. It was clear that the car is very well-maintained and properly cared for, both cosmetically and mechanically. The ride was incredibly smooth throughout the entire trip, and the overall driving experience was comfortable and enjoyable. One of my favorite features was the LED lighting that synced with the music, which added a unique and fun touch to the experience. The highlight of the trip, however, was definitely the Full Self Driving feature. It worked impressively well and made traveling much more convenient and relaxing. Wendy provided a high-quality rental experience, and I would absolutely recommend booking with her to anyone looking for a reliable, clean, and enjoyable vehicle.
