I had a great experience renting this car for a 3-day trip . The car was clean, reliable, and very fuel-efficient, which helped save on gas during the trip. Having unlimited mileage was a huge bonus and gave me peace of mind while traveling. The owner was friendly, responsive, and made the entire rental process smooth and easy. I would definitely rent this car again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle

I am new to Turo so unsure how respected the review system is but I definitely am a real human and rented this car for a month and everything was as perfect as can be for someone who usually would shy away from a red car ;). The pickup was easy, car was totally clean and just washed. I appreciated the slide out hatchback cover was in there because I feel they are often missing in big name car rental companies. The couple times I had to communicate with the owner he answered promptly and clear and easy to communicate with. And the drop off was just as seamless as the pickup. I used close to the monthly amount of allowed miles so enough to have some weight behind saying that throughout all of them there was never a weird noise or feeling at all to make me wonder if the car was in anything but excellent order and well maintained. Okay that's about the longest review I've ever written for anything but seemed fair to do so - due to everything I wrote above.

I rent from this host often, and every time it’s a very smooth trip! Convenient and easy pick up and drop off. Non contact. There is a gas station right next to drop off so it’s easy to fill up. Great on gas. Car runs great!

If you’re leaving a Turo review, you could write: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I rented from a host I normally wouldn’t have booked with, and I was a little skeptical at first. However, the experience exceeded my expectations. The car was beautiful, drove amazingly, and was very good on gas. One of my favorite things was how smooth and quiet it was—it almost rolled silently down the road. The host made the process easy, and the vehicle was exactly as described. I would definitely recommend this host to others and will absolutely be renting from them again in the future. Thanks for a great experience! Or a more casual version: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was a little skeptical at first, but I’m so glad I booked. The car was beautiful, drove great, and was amazing on gas. It was so smooth and quiet that it almost felt like it was rolling silently. Everything went smoothly, and I’d definitely recommend this host to anyone looking for a reliable rental. I’ll definitely be back to rent again! 😊

Polaris Slingshot 2016

★★★★★ Highly Recommended! I recently rented a Polaris Slingshot and had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The Slingshot was spotless, well-maintained, and in excellent condition. It drove beautifully and was an absolute blast to take through the Malibu canyons. The combination of the open-air ride, incredible scenery, and the Slingshot's performance made for an unforgettable adventure. What made the experience even more special was sharing it with my dad. We spent the day cruising through the winding canyon roads, taking in the views, and making memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. It was one of those rare experiences that you never forget. I also want to compliment the owner, who was outstanding throughout the entire rental process. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. He took the time to explain everything about the Slingshot, answered all of our questions, and made us feel completely comfortable before heading out. It's clear that he takes great pride in his vehicles and values his customers. If you're thinking about renting a Polaris Slingshot, don't hesitate. The vehicle itself is an incredible driving machine, and renting from such a knowledgeable and accommodating owner made the experience even better. I would absolutely rent again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure.

My experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The car made every part of our trip effortless, comfortable, and unforgettable. It allowed us to explore new places with ease while creating memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. This trip was especially meaningful because driving a car like this has been a lifelong dream of ours. Being able to finally experience it was truly surreal, and it made the occasion even more special. It also helped me pull off a surprise for my loved ones, and everything came together perfectly thanks to this experience. Isaac was an outstanding host! Very communicative, supportive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He made me feel comfortable and confident by trusting me with his vehicle, and whenever I had a question or needed assistance, he always had a solution. His professionalism and genuine care made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. I can’t recommend Isaac highly enough. Thank you for helping make a dream come true and for being a part of such a memorable experience. Five stars all around!

Great experience overall with this Mustang 5.0 V8! The car was in good condition mechanically and was a lot of fun to drive. The pickup location is excellent, convenient, and easy to reach. The host was extremely helpful, responsive, and super friendly throughout the entire rental process, making everything smooth and stress-free. The only small point for improvement would be the interior cleanliness, which could be a bit better. Other than that, everything was excellent and I would definitely recommend this rental to others.
