Fantastic experience, from the moment I entered the car and found a fresh bottle of water, a Starbucks gift card and a pack of tissues to the very detailed and easy to understand instructions on how to return the car. I was hit by another vehicle in a parking lot by a man not paying attention and the Turo sight was very helpful on what to do in that situation. The owner was very understanding and just wanted to be sure nobody was hurt and the car was still operational. Thank you for a wonderful and easy 2 months. I would DEFINITELY recommend this owner.

The host was very nice and meet me on time to exchange the keys for the car. The car smelled like smoke. The host did mention that previous renters smoked in the car and he was upset about that.
