This car rental was a very smooth experience. RTE responded quickly to every question I had and the car was clean and well-maintained. In addition, being able to use the Tesla FSD software ("Full Self-Driving") was a great help in LA traffic.

Turo car rental is an excellent platform for renting cars from individuals Like Johnathan. I recently had the opportunity to use his car for a weekend getaway, and I must say, I was impressed. The process of booking a car was seamless and easy. The website is user-friendly and provides all the necessary information about the available cars, including photos, descriptions, and reviews from previous renters. One of the best things about Turo is the wide variety of cars to choose from. Whether you're looking for a luxury sedan, a sports car, or a compact car for city driving, Turo has it all. It's like having a car rental agency at your fingertips, but with a personal touch for those Hosts they want to do beyond and stand out of others. The car I rented was in great condition and well-maintained. The owner was also very accommodating and provided clear instructions for pick-up and drop-off. The communication with the owner was smooth, and any questions or concerns I had were promptly addressed. Another advantage of Turo is the affordability. Compared to traditional car rental agencies, Turo offers competitive prices, and you can often find better deals on unique and high-end vehicles. Plus, there are no hidden fees or surprises when it comes to pricing. Overall, my experience with Turo car rental was fantastic. The convenience, variety of cars, affordability, and excellent customer service make it a top choice for anyone looking to rent a car. I highly recommend giving Turo a try for your next car rental needs.

What an experience this was to drive a Tesla. I highly recommend everyone to try it once you will never want to drive anything else. As for Monica her communication was spot on and responded quickly to all my questions. The rate was less than the major car rental companies. Thank you, it was one of our highlights of our trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience renting this Tesla through Ksenia. From start to finish, everything was smooth, clear, and incredibly well organized. She was very kind, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire trip, which made us feel comfortable and confident right away. The car itself was in excellent condition, clean, and a joy to drive. The Full Self-Driving feature was an amazing experience and truly made our road trip even more enjoyable and memorable. My son and I traveled together, and thanks to this car, we were able to create some really special memories that we’ll never forget. Ksenia went above and beyond to make sure everything worked perfectly, and her communication was outstanding. I would absolutely rent from her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great Tesla rental experience. Thank you again for helping make our trip so special! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tesla Cybertruck 2025

Leo was extremely responsible and accommodating. As this was my first time using Turo to rent a car, I wasn’t very familiar with the app and ended doing many required tasks at the last minute. Leo patiently guided me throughout the process, leaving me with an excellent first impression. The Cyber truck is such an incredibly cool and amazing vehicle—it’s not practical to own one in NYC, but it’s definitely worth experiencing in California! Overall fantastic experience.

Karapet's Tesla is extremely new. He is a very patient host, and the car is super clean with the full version of FSD. Everything went so smoothly, even though he seems to be a host who just started the car rental business. I strongly suggest he remove the external password lock, as it may scratch the glass—sharing the key via the Tesla app would be much more convenient and hassle-free. Wish him all the best, and I'll definitely rent from him again next time
