Host responded quick whenever needed. The headlights were a little dim but that could just be a me issue. And the tire pressure light came on drop off night but idk if it’s because the weather got cooler. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to vacuum the car before returning it like they asked I’m used to having to tidy not actually vacuum so that threw me off I would just recommend making time to do that. They have free membership to do the vacuuming but like I said I’m just not used to being asked and I got stuck at work. Overall would rent again from them.

BMW Z4 2003

Pickup and drop off was as easy as can be. Host communication is superb. The car: absolutely fantastic. Grateful to have the opportunity to rent a Z4 of this era in 2026. There’s nothing like an older roadster from when cars were simpler. Very fun to drive and tour CT with. This example is probably in better condition than some cars 10 years newer. It’s clearly been well maintained over its life and didn’t let me down once. Every feature of the vehicle worked as intended. Trunk space isn’t as limiting as you’d imagine but that’s coming from someone who owns cars of the similar genre. Made some great memories visiting my family and touring CT. Had so much fun every minute I spent behind the wheel.

I absolutely loved my first Turo experience! I **loved the car** so much that it honestly made me want to buy a Fiat! 🚗❤️ The pickup location was super easy and convenient, with easy parking if the exact spot wasn’t available. Everything was clear and straightforward. And the host was **incredible** — always accommodating, clear, kind, positive, and so flexible. They even extended the rental for me, which I really appreciated. Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. I would absolutely rent from them again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Top tips for renting a car in Norwalk


Nestled on the shores of Connecticut, Norwalk combines the allure of the seaside with the vitality of the city. You can go to the beach or take a day trip to New York or New Haven when you rent a vehicle here. Before you pack up your rental car and start on the road, there are a few things you should know.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Norwalk?


Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, never exceed the legal speed limit, and never use a handheld electronic device while operating a motor vehicle in Norwalk. When planning your trip, keep in mind that I-95 may experience increased traffic during morning and evening peak hours. In the winter, roadways, particularly those close to the water or on bridges, may become icy, while in the summer, there are more tourists. It is wise to bring an ice scraper and map out your routes in advance if you want to come during the winter.


What is parking like in Norwalk?


Parking rates in Norwalk vary by facility and location. Near the Maritime Aquarium, restaurants, and businesses in downtown SoNo (South Norwalk), you'll find several garages and metered street parking. Seasonal parking passes are required at Calf Pasture Beach, and spaces can fill up on busy summer days. Be sure to carefully check signage, as some areas may require permits or have time limits. Parking facilities such as the Webster Lot and the Haviland Street Garage, conveniently located near popular SoNo destinations, are easily accessible with rentals.


Are there toll roads in Norwalk?


Connecticut doesn’t have any active toll roads at this time. This means you can drive throughout Norwalk and across the rest of the state without paying tolls. However, if you head into New York or Massachusetts, you’ll encounter toll bridges, tunnels, and highways. You can use the E-ZPass website or mobile app to check toll locations and get guidance on possible routes to avoid them.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Norwalk?


The SoNo Collection mall in Norwalk has Shell Recharge electric vehicle charging stations. Additional public EV chargers are available in the city through networks such as ChargePoint, including locations at Merritt 7. Norwalk also has multiple gas stations within city limits and near major roads like Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1.


Do I need to rent a car in Norwalk?


Yes, to fully enjoy your trip to Norwalk, it helps to have your own wheels. You can use Turo to explore some of the best car rental rates available. Maybe you need a pickup truck to transport cargo from Fairfield to Stamford. Or perhaps you’d like to grab a minivan right after exiting the terminal at the nearby Westchester County Airport. On Turo, you get flexible options. You’ll be able to see all the attractions and sites you want without the hassle of rigid schedules.

On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers to the trip. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers any time via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
