WOW! I was trying to find a rental because my car was totaled & I was freaking out because I needed a way to work! I live in rural Southern IL& work in STL. I remembered a friend mentioned Turo. I had tried for days to rent a vehicle but none of the big name rental companies ever had any available. To my surprise, it took me just a few minutes to book one of Adam’s cars. It’s no hassle & just like an Airbnb for vehicles! Love it! The staff & Adam are very cordial & it took probably less than 5 minutes & I was on my way. I will definitely rent from them again when the need arises. They were my Saviours!

The car rental overall was good. There were a few surface dings on the car and accessing the car initially proved to be a bit difficult at first (due to the time that I was picking it up). However, it all worked out nicely. Thanks Adam.
