Kia Carnival Hybrid 2026

The van was great. Clean and we left it hopefully just as clean. I even accidentally left my phone in the car, the host Luciano came back and dropped of my phone. I was quite thankful for that, and his A+ communication throughout the Turo rental process. Would rent it again.

Kia Sportage 2015

I just sold my 1-year-old car and needed a car ASAP the next day, so I rented a vehicle from Adrian’s Auto Rental through Turo. The rental process was clear and smooth. I rented a 10-year-old car. It is important to understand that cars of this age can have multiple cosmetic imperfections, so it’s important to have realistic expectations. If you are looking to enjoy a perfect aesthetic experience while driving and you are a perfectionist, I would strongly recommend renting a newer vehicle, preferably from the current year or just a few years old. For me, it was a very functional rental. The car served its purpose, the process was easy, and I returned the vehicle about a week ago without any issues. Overall, it was a great experience, and I really appreciate the convenience when I needed a car quickly.

Without a doubt, it’s a 5-star experience! The host provided incredibly fast responses and excellent service. Honestly, I was scheduled for a military entrance physical exam and got really worried about getting there on time when the underbody of the car felt a bit loose. But the host stepped in and resolved the issue in a split second, which saved my day. I’m so grateful for that. Now that I’m signing my contract and heading to boot camp soon, I’ll definitely rent from this host again if I need a car before leaving. Thank you so much!

This was my first experience using Turo, and Tony made the entire process easy and convenient. He even met me halfway to deliver the vehicle, which I really appreciated. The car was great, clean, and had no issues. I had a very positive experience and would definitely rent from Tony again in the future.

Not a fan of the car itself but I never drove a Kia before. It served us well with the 3 rd row but small for luggage and 3 row. Host was responsive and pick up drop off was very easy.

Arman was super flexible and easy to work with. Very friendly and keeps immaculate cars. The car itself (2025 EV6) was great and came with 80% charge and was perfectly clean.. Arman walked through finding and using fast chargers (Tesla superchargers) in the area and got me comfortable with some of the control quirks. If I fly back into SNA, I'll definitely rent a car from Arman again!
