Recent Lubbock car rental reviews
I had a really good experience renting this 2026 Kia K4 through Turo. The car was clean, comfortable, modern, and exactly what I needed for getting around town. It drove smoothly, felt secure on the road, and had plenty of power for normal city driving and highway travel. The steering was responsive, the ride was comfortable, and the cabin was surprisingly spacious for a sedan. One thing I especially liked was the technology. The digital display was easy to read, the controls were simple to figure out, and the overall interior felt newer and more upscale than I expected. The air conditioning worked great, which matters a lot in Lubbock heat, and the seats were comfortable even after spending time driving around. The car also had excellent gas mileage. I did not have to worry about constantly stopping for fuel, and the remaining-range display made it easy to keep track of what I had left. The pickup and return process was straightforward, and the vehicle was in good condition when I received it. Everything worked as it should, from the lights and safety features to the infotainment and driving functions. It was clear that this Kia has been kept in very good shape. Overall, I would absolutely rent this 2026 Kia K4 again. It is a great choice if you want something dependable, fuel-efficient, comfortable, and easy to drive without paying for a larger vehicle. Whether you are in town for work, school, errands, or a short trip, it gives you a smooth and enjoyable ride. I appreciate having a rental that felt reliable and stress-free from start to finish. I would choose it again and recommend it to friends or family visiting the area. Highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a clean, modern, well-maintained car on Turo.
This was so perfect. When there were no rental cars available at the airport, I found Garrett’s car. And it was a better experience than renting all around. The car was clean, the technology worked perfect, and so easy to pick up and return. I will definitely be using the same car again in a few months when I return to the area. So appreciative for the great car and smooth experience!
Came in for a last minute quick trip and Ubers were gonna be just as much as renting the turo. This car was awesome. Clean, friendly host, nice car.
The car ran really great a very nice host. He makes picking up a rental very easy and response right back to you if you need anything.

Emma made the trip very easy. Great communication car was clean and nice to drive. :)
Car is in pristine condition. Runs and drives great. The car was exactly where I was told it would be. I would definitely rent this car again.
Overall the trip was great. The vehicle itself is a bit older and worn but worked just fine. We also couldn’t figure out car play but it wasn’t important enough to us to troubleshoot too much.
Super easy to work with! Car was perfect super clean and super easy to get in and out around town! Will rent again next time we are in town:)
It was such a pleasure to rent this Tesla. Very clean and I love the fact that it drives itself! The host was very helpful as well!
The car was great, drove beautifully. We are from out of town and came to texas to visit family. Ivan was very helpful and polite.
Davros is an amazing host! The car is always clean and ready to go, no surprises or disappointments. The car is always is great working order, current maintenance, and safe. I absolutely love the person service. There is no reason I will ever rent from another rental agency! My only sad comment is I wish he had cars everywhere I travel! 😊😘
The car did have hail damage, but overall it was a great experience! Great communication from Nathaniel fast pickup and drop off! Highly recommend, will rebook if needed!

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
