Absolutely, the best host. Our trip got cut short due to bad weather and we ended up traveling home early. The host was very accommodating and allowed me to modify my reservation. Car was beautiful and clean. I will definitely book again.

Russel was absolutely amazing and so accommodating! He last minute helped us out with getting a car seat in the car for my daughter, as well as being extremely flexible with pick up time and location! This was my first time renting through Turo, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Thank you Russel!

Excellent car, communicative host. I picked up the car with minimial difficulty near the SNA airport and returned it on time with. It is basically a new car with XM radio and good AC. I guess I didn't follow the correct procedure to return the car (the app sends me some message to open an app that has no "return" button), but I complained about some fee that was added 30 minutes later and it was removed. I think the Turo app can be made easier to use but seems to be mainly selling add ons like the other car rental companies. Turo has not yet reached the point of commoditization (like uber, airbnb, etc.) that makes the rates the same as the old economy companies so I will use it again until it does.

Pickup & dropoff were hassle free. Car was very clean. Everything in the car worked and there aren't really major criticisms with the experience other than uts a slightly older budget car with 150K Miles & it runs like it. Has a hard time maintaining speeds around 60/70 miles & engine is definitely loud but for local commutes and at the price offered, its a good deal.

Top tips for driving in Newport Beach

A little local know-how goes a long way here. Keep these tips in mind before you set off.

Road rules

Standard California rules apply — buckle up, put the phone down, and yield to the many cyclists and pedestrians near the beach. Traffic on Pacific Coast Highway and the Balboa Peninsula peaks on summer weekends, so allow extra time.

Parking

Expect metered street parking and public lots along the Balboa Peninsula and near the pier, with free structures at Fashion Island. Arrive early on busy beach days, and a compact car makes tight coastal spots easier to manage.

Toll roads

Orange County has a few express toll routes that can save time. They use electronic tolling rather than cash booths, so check your route in advance and plan whether they fit your trip.

Gas and EV charging

Gas stations are easy to find across Newport Beach, and public charging is widely available if you go electric. Browse electric vehicle rentals in Newport Beach if you'd rather skip the pump on your coastal drives.

Do you need a car in Newport Beach?

Yes — while the beach and harbor areas are walkable, a car unlocks Crystal Cove, Fashion Island, and day trips down the coast. Renting one gives you the freedom to explore on your own schedule.

Often, yes. Many hosts offer lower daily rates on weekly and monthly bookings, so extending your trip by a day or two can bring real savings. Compare prices in the app to find the best option for your dates.
