Renault TWINGO II 2014

Eric and Valerie have made it impossible for me to ever rent from one of the big international car rental companies again. This was my third rental with them and they are everything the big guys are not. They are friendly, efficient, customer focused are most importantly really easy to deal with. Their cars are great as well.

The host, the car, and the whole Turo experience was 10/10. The price was fantastic and the whole experience was seamless. We had weird hours we wanted to leave and return the car that would not have worked with a car rental agency, but Angel and Turo made the whole process easy and seamless. I’m a bigger guy so I was worried about how comfortable the car would be and it was perfect. The great ride made our whole vacation possible and comfortable. I really appreciated the vehicles safety features too!

Nissan Altima 2025

The Nissan Altima was great. Good mpg, clean, lots of power, great response time. The car needed to be picked up at an off site location called, economy car rental at 2367 India street. A proximity 2 1/2 miles from the airport. You will need to find a ride to their location. The price of taxi will be $30, however we took the free shuttle to the car rental center then walked 20 minutes the rest of the way. The team at this location did a great job, fast, friendly, polite, and after returning they able to offer a ride back to the airport. We would rent this Altima again, and I would recommend this vehicle.

Easy pick up and drop off. Car was very clean inside. A/C blows super cold even when it's 100 degrees out!! The windows are not tinted so I suggest bringing your own sun shades if you are going to be parked anywhere but the shade in the summer. Luckily I had those and that made my trip much better. The flip down visors do have the extenders to help block sun while driving thankfully. Charging prices are comparable to current gas prices - about $45 to get 250 miles of charge over a few sessions which is the same as I get from a full tank in my Toyota Yaris. This car DOES have the CHAdeMO fast charge input so it's 30-50 seconds per mile to charge depending on the fast charger & whether you're running the car (AC/radio) or it's fully off. Radio speakers were a little blown out so I had to adjust some settings to listen to my audiobooks but it was easy to do. I had no problem driving from the pickup spot to Kyle, then to the airport, and back into town without needing a charge which was about 90 miles, mostly highway. Just like any Turo rental make sure to take your own photos at pickup and drop off since scratches and such aren't usually documented after every drive by the car owners which seems standard in my experience. Overall a great deal, best price in town especially for a last minute rental. I requested the rental at 9pm on a Tuesday after my personal car died and was able to get this the next morning with no issue. Will definitely keep them in mind when I need a rental near by. Thanks again!

I had a great experience with Go Geo Car Rental. After Enterprise confirmed my reservation and then told me they had no cars available when I arrived, I was left scrambling for a solution. Go Geo made the process incredibly easy, I was in a rental car in less than an hour. The vehicle was in great condition, the service was fast and seamless, and the host even checked in with me during my rental to make sure everything was going well. Excellent customer service and a stress-free experience. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to others.

First, I contemplated leaving a 4 star review for a few reasons. However, the prompt response to the issue with the original vehicle reserved, partly due to luck that someone happened to be onsite with the car, and the flexibility with returning the vehicle without requiring washing and vacuuming is deserving of some grace. The price for 5 day/4 night rental was fantastic, around $150 total. I certainly didn't expect a car in pristine shape for the cost. This car is a part of a Turo "rental company" fleet. It seems like a company that buys cheap, used cars to rent out. There are 12-15 cars parked behind a strip mall 8-10ish minutes from the airport in an area I was glad we were picking up and dropping off midday rather than the evening. The hybrid we originally reserved had stained seats and a lot of cosmetic wear. One tire looked like it was on a spare wheel and didn't have a lot of life left, honestly. A lot of the roads in San Diego aren't exactly in great shape, I was concerned about getting a flat. When we turned the car on to leave we immediately got check engine lights and a "pull over immediately" message. Fortunately, someone with the "rental company" was on site and qas able to quickly switched cars for us. It wasn't a hybrid, though. We didn't plan on a lot of driving, but originally opted for a hybrid to save money since we had two days of freeway driving. We definitely spent more on gas then originally planned. If there wasn't someone available onsite to help, it could have been a much longer ordeal which is a terrible way to start a vacation. Communication day of pick up felt slow with the owner. I didn't think to look back to the 2 month old message about how to find the car. I received a message from Turo saying we'd be sent details the day before the trip. I never got that confirmation text or measage the day before or day of pick up from the actual rental owner. When I first reached out to the rental company through the turo app to find the car at pick up time, I didn't get a response. I finally found a way to text someone about 20 minutes later. We did get a pretty quick response that way, but it's frustrating to be in a random parking lot messaging through an app and not get a response. The Honda interior is definitely cleaner than the hybrid we reserved, but the exterior, not so much. Its been side swiped and has a lot of sun damage. The TPMS light was on the whole time, but the actual tire pressure was fine. There was also a rattle and grinding noise when accelerating from a stop or on a hill, but it didn't cause an issue. The car drives fine for a 14-15 year old car, it's just a little noisy and you feel all the bumps on the road. I understand with the cheaper cost of renting through Turo amd choosing a 12-15 year old car, I'm not getting a newer car like I would with a standard rental company or paying more for a newer car. That said, with my last few Turo rentals, it feels a lot of these Turo "rental companies" aren't checking their cars or doing much more than standard maintenance as frequently as they should when they have over 150,000 miles on them. The confirmation message also suggested the cars are kept in great shape. These cars were not in great shape by any stretch of the imagination. No one wants to be on vacation and have their car break down or even be worried that the car they're driving is gonna get a flat or break down.

Solid rental experience. Car was as described. Had no issues and the host was communicative when I needed to change the reservation by a few days or hours. Super convenient location near the airport. Best price for the amount of time I needed it which was about 2 weeks. Will definitely rent again when I'm in town.

Subaru Outback 2013

Andre was great, the car was somewhat still dirty, dust, dirt, what appeared to be cigarette ashes, animal hair, sticky spills around the cup holders in the center console and the door panels. Crumbs and dust/dirt left in the door handles and cubby's. In the center console cup holders and cubbys. On the top of the dashboard, around the steering column and gauges. Sticky dusty windows and stereo buttons. Rear view mirror had sticky smudges on it. All the windows inside were dusty and dirty with smudges and idk what really.. the car had a bad smell of animals like dogs, and faint cigarette smell.. however as I got further into my trip I got used to it and wasn't bothered by it anymore. A lot of these issues honestly didn't bother me very much. I was more worried of being blamed for them when I returned the car. Unfortunately I was put behind schedule due to a passenger side headlight and passenger side tail light being burned out. However upon informing andre, he was very quick with a solution to take the car to valvoline where they were able to repair the lights before I left for my trip. If I wasn't already running late It wouldn't of bothered me. Andre was also very quick to reimburse me the whole price of the repairs immediately upon me sending him the receipt of the work.. I very much appreciated that! I also appreciate that instead of canceling my trip Andre worked out a way to have the lights fixed with no trouble of my own. He was always quick to respond to all of my very long messages full of questions. This is my first time using turo and I did not know the ins and outs of the rental process. He was able to guide me threw every step all while being polite and keeping his patience with me! Hah. I ended up running behind schedule on my way back as well and was surprised how simple and easy it was to change the return time from noon to after 9 p.m. all without adding any fees to my bill! That was very helpful of andre to allow me to do. I also ended up being a little passed my return time due to vacuuming the car and dusting everything to my best ability. So that andre wouldn't have to deal with someone else's mess and the next person who rents the vehicle will not have to worry about it either. I had no issues with doing that for him after he was so helpful with me! The vehicle was a little different then what im used to. But in no time I settled in with the car and had a very enjoyable trip! I would forsure rent another vehicle from andre in the future due to how well he accommodated me on this trip. Even tho the car had the mess, that was not andre, But left over from previous renters. He even made sure to have a snow brush and ice scraper in the car for me. But unfortunately the previous renters also took that with them. Im sure there will be a new one for the next person who rents the car because thats how much andre cares about his customers !! 5 stars for andre !!! Whoever returned his vehicle like that should be ashamed and think about how it would feel if someone treated your things the same way! Once again THANK YOU andre! I will reach out to you next time I need to rent a car.. I appreciate all your help thru the process! I appreciate your professionalism and quick responses to all my questions and thank you for making sure the vehicle was 100% good to go for me before I left and wouldn't of been able to fix it. 5 of 5 stars for andre !!

My credit card wasn’t working for some odd reason and rental companies wouldn’t let me rent a car so I booked this Turo last minute and it was a reasonable price for five days. I will do it again when I come back to Vancouver in August.

Excellent 1st experience using Turo. The host was very responsive and timely. The vehicle was in great condition and rode very well. The price was a good deal and would definitely use this again as opposed to a major car rental facility. It was a simple process overall and very straightforward.

Highly recommend! First of all Rigid was very helpful from the beginning. I wasn’t exactly sure what days I would be arriving at GSO so I had to keep rescheduling the rental, but Rigid was very understanding and willing to work with me! Very well communicated from making the reservation to returning the car. Very easy pickup, the car was dropped off right outside the arrival level, so no long walk to the parking lot or rental car center etc. Clean car with good mpg! Will definitely rent again next time I coming through GSO airport!

Navigating peak hour traffic in Little Falls and surrounding areas requires some strategic planning. Consider using your rental car's GPS or a traffic app to stay informed about real-time conditions. Avoid major highways like Route 46 and I-80 during rush hours if possible. Instead, explore alternative routes through residential areas or less congested roads. Timing is crucial; try to plan your trips outside of the typical morning (7-9 AM) and evening (4-7 PM) rush hours. If you must travel during these times, allow extra time for your journey. Familiarize yourself with local traffic patterns and be prepared for sudden slowdowns, especially near bridges and tunnels. By staying flexible and informed, you can make your driving experience in Little Falls more pleasant and efficient.

Where can you find convenient parking facilities in Little Falls for your rental car?

Little Falls offers several convenient parking options for your rental car. The downtown area has metered street parking available, which is ideal for short-term stays. For longer periods, consider using one of the public parking lots near Main Street or Stevens Avenue. These lots often have more affordable rates compared to street parking. If you're visiting Montclair State University, they have large parking garages available for visitors. When parking, always check the signage for any time restrictions or permit requirements to avoid fines. Some local businesses also offer customer parking, but be sure to verify if it's okay to leave your car there while exploring the area.

What types of cars are recommended for driving in and around Little Falls, considering local road conditions?

When choosing a rental car for Little Falls, consider the local road conditions and your planned activities. A compact or midsize car is often ideal for navigating the town's streets and finding parking easily. These vehicles are also fuel-efficient, which is beneficial for longer drives around New Jersey. If you're planning to explore more rural areas or visit during winter, an SUV might be a better choice due to its higher ground clearance and better handling in adverse weather conditions. For those focused on city driving, an electric vehicle could be a great option, as Little Falls and surrounding areas have been increasing their charging infrastructure. Whatever type you choose, ensure it's comfortable for your group size and suitable for the season you're visiting.

Are there any tolls to be aware of when driving near Little Falls or in neighboring areas?

When driving near Little Falls or in neighboring areas, it's important to be aware of potential tolls. The Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike, both major highways in the state, operate on a toll system. If your travels take you towards New York City, you'll encounter tolls on bridges and tunnels like the George Washington Bridge or Lincoln Tunnel. Many of these tolls use electronic collection systems, so having an E-ZPass can be convenient. If your rental car doesn't come equipped with one, be prepared to pay cash at toll booths or use the "pay-by-plate" option where available. Always carry some cash for unexpected tolls, and factor these costs into your travel budget. Being informed about tolls can help you plan your routes more effectively and avoid surprises during your Little Falls adventure.

What should drivers know about gas stations and fuel availability in Little Falls and nearby towns?

Drivers in Little Falls and nearby towns will find fuel readily available, with several gas stations located conveniently throughout the area. Major chains and local stations offer a variety of fuel options, including regular, premium, and diesel. It's worth noting that New Jersey is one of the few states where self-service at gas stations is prohibited - attendants will fill your tank for you. Prices can vary between stations, so it's wise to compare if you're looking to save on fuel costs. Some stations near highways may have higher prices, while those in residential areas might offer better rates. Always plan to refuel your rental car before long trips, especially if you're heading into more rural areas where stations might be less frequent. Keeping your tank at least half full is a good practice to avoid any fuel-related inconveniences during your Little Falls visit.

How can renters prepare for various weather conditions while driving in Little Falls throughout the year?

Preparing for various weather conditions in Little Falls is crucial for safe and comfortable driving year-round. In winter, ensure your rental car is equipped with all-season or winter tires, as snow and ice can make roads slippery. Always have an ice scraper and brush in the car. During spring and fall, be prepared for sudden rain showers by checking that your windshield wipers are in good condition. Summer can bring intense heat, so make sure your car's air conditioning is functioning properly. Regardless of the season, it's wise to keep a small emergency kit in your rental, including a flashlight, basic first-aid supplies, and water. Always check the weather forecast before setting out, and adjust your driving habits accordingly. By being prepared for Little Falls' varied climate, you'll ensure a safer and more enjoyable driving experience throughout your stay.

What are some key differences between driving in Little Falls and navigating larger New Jersey cities?

Driving in Little Falls offers a different experience compared to navigating larger New Jersey cities.

Parking is often easier to find and may be free in many areas, unlike in bigger cities where parking can be scarce and expensive. However, Little Falls has fewer public transportation options, making a rental car more necessary for getting around efficiently. The roads in Little Falls are typically narrower and may have more curves compared to the wide, grid-like streets of larger cities. Additionally, you'll encounter fewer one-way streets and complex intersections in Little Falls. While driving here is generally less stressful, always stay alert for pedestrians and cyclists, as the town has a more community-oriented feel.
