Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel like family. The Kia Sorento was perfect for exploring Kauaʻi, clean, reliable, and exactly what we needed. What truly set this experience apart were the incredible island recommendations they shared. Those tips made our trip so much better and helped us experience Kauaʻi in a more local, meaningful way. Words can’t fully express our gratitude. This was more than just a car rental, it was genuine hospitality. We would 100% rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting the island. Mahalo nui loa and a hui hou! 🤙🏽
Brian was an awesome host, the car got great mileage. Got us to and from, and was clean! Would rent again! 🌞
Nathaniel was a great host who made pick-up and drop-off a breeze! He communicated everything needed for our trip, as well as provided names and numbers for local drivers for getting to and from the car and airport. The car was parked next to some local stops (Musubi Truck, ABC Store, food trucks) which was a huge plus as we were able to grab food. We also got some beach gear with the car, which saved us a stop at another beach gear rental place. I would highly recommend renting from Nathaniel!
Seamless pickup/drop-off, car was very clean and smelled good as well. Would definitely rent again!
Fantastic trip! Adorable car, super reliable,, amazing car! We had sooo much fun! Will totally rent from them again! Thank you!
The car was perfect, great size, great drive and Mona was very friendly and easy to work with. Pick up and drop off were easy very close to the airport., would definitely rent again!!
The Kia Forte was outstanding in every way, traveling all over Kauai in safety and comfort. Thanks Tailene for all your help and we happily would rent a car from you and Turo in the future!
The car was nice, clean and pick up went fine. The car is on a lot behind Target, and the Turo bus picked us up at the airport. I almost left the family at the airport to go back and get them. Im glad I took them with me, because it is a bit of a drive. Its not a big deal, except it was late and rainy. A good experience. I would rent again.
Our hosts were amazing! The car was spotless when we picked it up, and we had no issues throughout our trip. They also provided a list of local recommendations, which helped us discover some great places. Communication was excellent, and they were always available if we needed anything. Overall, they were fantastic hosts, and we would definitely rent from them again!
We had a great trip with the Kia Soul 2024 during our time in Kauai, the car fit all of our needs and the host was very attentive and communicative. We would rent again and can recommend!
Car was perfect and it was an amazingly easy process compared to the regular car rental place!! The Kia Carnival is a wonderful car and fit six very comfortably with climate controls in all rows! Will definitely recommend this car.
Simplicity is key on vacation and renting a car from Brent was beyond simple. Fantastic people and car was clean and ready to go with boogie boards and umbrella. We will forever only rent from Brent. Highly recommend. Only my second time using Turo and don’t plan to go back to rental companies waiting in line etc. Thank you Brent!
The vehicle was an excellent choice. The only rough thing about it was, the Turo van doesn’t stop at Southwest area, when leaving the Island. We needed to walk all the way back up to baggage claim area A, to check in to our flight. My family & I really enjoyed our selves and will be booking to come back the beginning of January 2026. Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo, for letting my family & I rent your car.
Amazing car and amazing host! Would love to rent this Kia Soul again. Thank you so much. Mahalo.
