Hit the road
Tear yourself away from the glamtastic air of Palm Springs, and you’ll gain a gratifying experience roaming the heart-stirring natural landscapes with the option of returning later to dine al fresco.
Spare a day or two and marvel over the twisty Joshua trees. A treat for stargazers and rock climbers, the rugged landscape is dotted with cacti, stark boulders, and spring wildflowers.
Not to be confused with the giant annual music festival, find the Coachella Valley Preserve 10 miles east of Palm Springs in an arid desert primed for hiking.
Venture away from the star-studded city, and you’ll arrive in a hiking paradise at Indian Canyons. Made up of three canyons, opt for horseback riding instead or stay at one of the nearby resorts.
I enjoyed and had zero problems with Sergey. Would rent from again
I wanted to do a test drive and experience a full day of model three. Could not imagine a better day. meeting Muneeb was a bonus and the TURO app was effortless. It also was a preview of the future of cars and i now plan on buying the model Y.
This R8 is immaculate, beautiful, and fun to drive. It was convenient and easy to arrange pickup right at the airport! I’ll be renting this car or another one of their cars very soon! Thank you so much for the incredible experience!
Experience was far above my expectations. People here are friendly, communicative and professional. Would recommend.
Himilcon’s car was great. He was punctual and accommodating! Would recommend to others!
The whole experience from beginning to end was effortless. Communication was on point. Our flight had gotten cancelled the night before and they had no hesitation in pushing the pickup hour to the end of the day. Amazing experience!
Outstanding weekend filled with mini day trips. This machine is very fun to ride!
Excellent host and car, made for a great day. I would highly recommend Thomas and his yellow Mustang.
First trip with Turo, and this set the bar extremely high. DCR & Charles were great...made the whole process an absolute breeze! The 911 was such an incredible ride.
Super flexible & super fast/easy communication. Car was reliable, clean, new. Would definitely rent again!
Himilcon's Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid vehicle was perfect for my trip in and around Palm Springs and the SoCal area. Bluetooth connectivity and superb gas mileage. Pickup and drop-off process at PSP airport was painless and straightforward. He was always available for any questions. I will definitely consider Himilcon and his vehicles the next time I visit the area. Thank you!
Leon was very easy to communicate with and the car worked exactly for what I needed!
Honestly Leon is such a kind host. He communicated at all times and was extremely helpful. 10/10 recommend renting from him.
Awesome Host!!! Seamless pick up and drop off. Great car.. definitely turned heads all over Palm Springs and Joshua tree!
Himilcon and Rachel were the best! Any questions and concerns I had were addressed and Rachel helped out very much with our day trip to a Disney!
Fabulous car and fabulous owner. Thank you!!
Outstandingl condition, amazing given that it is over 10 years old. It was spotless and drove quite well. It certainly exceeded expectations. Ozzie is an exceptional communicator and easy to work with. Rarely would it take him more than a couple minutes for him to respond but usually it was closer to 30 seconds.
Best Turo host on the app. Great communication from beginning to end, and rented me a very nice car. Thanks!
Kezzie is fantastic- amazing hospitality and her car is perfect for any occasion!
James is a great guy. Pleasure to do business with. Recommend
Nice and flexible service... I wish the car charged up faster
James was very accommodating. We actually returned the car to him because the prior Customer smoked a lot of marijuana in it. The smell was too much for us. But James was very good about the return.
Extremely happy and satisfied with our rental, could not have gone better!!
Thomas was great to work with; quick and easy to communicate with and always on schedule.
Very easy pick up and drop off with a reasonable rate during the holiday season. Would definitely do this again.
He was easy to talk to. And delivered the car on time as well.
Amit and his vehicle were a dream! We had a great time in this car. The car was clean and Amit was on time. When we needed a little flexibility re: our return he was happy to accommodate. When we are back in the area we will definitely rent again!
great car. Even better person. James is a amazing host. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the palm springs area.
Best car and experience ever. Very flexible and accommodating, will definitely request in the future.
James was their for us during the entire time we had his car. We had a small issue which on his own time he resolved for us instantly. He picked us up at the airport and dropped us off with no extra charges. I would us him again anytime!
Matt was a great host! Very accommodating, super nice. The car was immaculate and offered a smooth ride. Will definitely look for this vehicle ahah. Thanks Matt!
Everything couldn’t have worked out better!! Amazing car, basically brand new!! Great communication with drop off and pick up!! Highly recommended!! 🤙
Alfred is an amazing host. His cars are the cleanest, the coolest, and above all, he’s just awesome haha Thanks for the chill experience, Alan! ✌️
Himilicon was a wonderful host. He responded quickly and made pick up and drop off so easy!! The Ioniq is SO fun to drive and worked well in the city and in the hills. I didn’t want to give the car back ... such an amazing value and top of the line hosting. 👌🏻
Tim was an excellent host. He was very professional and friendly. His car was fantastic. Would highly recommend Going through Tim to friends and family and the next time we are in Palm Springs we will certainly rent from Tim again!
My friend and I rent Curtis’s Honda Civic for 4 days. He and his wife were very flexible and understanding for arranging our trip. They were super kind and heartwarming to show us a direction to get to supermarket where we wanted to stop by. The car is very clean. Highly recommended!
This was an AMAZING experience. We were really welcomes and it made our wedding photos very special.
James was amazing! Really flexible on pickup and drop-off time and the car was in prefect condition. Can't recommend James and his car more!
Matt was very friendly and car was immaculate and nice. Great experience.
Tim was an exceptional host, I would highly recommend him for your next trip to the greater Palm Springs area. Going above and beyond, Tim was helpful with recommendations and provided bottled water, sunshade and charging cables. The pickup and dropoff process was also a breeze. Highly recommended for anyone attending a BMW performance center event or visiting the Thermal Club.
Tom was great to work with! Curbside pickup and drop off made our quick trip a breeze. Plus this car gave us extra style points. Loved everything about our experience. If we ever find ourselves back in the Palm Springs area we are definitely renting from him again!
I made the booking at 12 am to pick up the car at 9:00 am on Sunday. Michael was completely flexible and made my trip easier. The car is amazingly clean and fun to drive. Pick up and drop off was super relaxed, I had the pleasure to get to know Michael. I definitely had a great experience and recommend to everyone to do the same by getting this car. Thank you Michael for this amazing experience.
Nicolas is a truly happy person who seems to want others to be happy as well. Nicolas went above and beyond to make sure my experience was easy and pain free process. I would highly recommend renting this car because of its a good way to see sunny south California. I guess Nicolas is just a generally happy person and made me happy in the process.
Amit was a great host and very good with returning calls. He took the time and went over the car and all its features with me since it’s an electric car and I’ve never used a electric car before. He made sure I had the apps I needed to locate the charging stations.
My first time using Turo and Ozzie made it very easy. Very communicative and flexible with pickup. I had a great time driving in style with his Camaro.
We could not be happier with our experience! Himilcon was as professional and courteous as anyone could possibly be👍 We will seek him out again the next time we need a vehicle.
Great service. Amazing gas milage on a clean new car. 5 stars.
Whole experience was awesome. We enjoyed our trip in Palm Springs and especially thanks to Nicolas ‘s car.
Really enjoyed the car for the week. So much nicer than waiting in the line for a rental.
DCR was great, very convenient to coordinate and work with
Many thanks to Ray! We will definitely check his availability when we are in Palm Springs next! Communication and level of detail were superb!
Very flexible. Easy pickup and friendly communication. Would be happy to work with them again!
James was a pleasure to rent from and his car was perfect for our weekend family getaway. Would rent from him again and highly recommend to anyone else.
Renting from Curtis was a great experience. Great communication, easy and convenient pickup and return and he’s extremely friendly. I would definitely rent from him again!
Tim was a fantastic host. Would highly recommend! Thanks for making our trip to Palm Springs a special one.
Tim’s 135i was fun and clean. Tim was an all around great host, providing all the information and service I could ask for.
Tim provided us with excellent service. The airport pick up and drop off was quick and easy. The car was in great condition and really fun to drive. We enjoyed the convertible in Palm Springs and driving over the mountains to Laguna Beach. The car has a lot of storage in the trunk even when the top is down. Everything went great and Tim offered to assist with any needs we might have, although there was nothing we needed. The car is smooth and powerful and I would not hesitate to rent it again.
best of the best. Jim is the greatest host on Turo...
Randy and his BMW were great. The car is amazingly well taken car of and Randy was nice and very professional. Randy met us at the airport; we quickly reviewed everything and we were on our way. We had a great week and will rent from Randy again when in Palm Springs.
Great communication, car was as advertised and functioned as such. Will definitely rent from Leon again when in the area.
Car was great. Communication for drop off details should have been all given ahead of time but car was everything we hoped
Leon showed up right on time for pick-up/drop-off. Super smooth transition
Clean vehicle, efficient, great air conditioning. He even went upstairs to get us the USB to charge our phones and listen to music. Would rent again.
Alejandro is so helpful a joy to work with And his car is so very good. Awesome service made our time so easy Thanks Alejandro
Frances was wonderful, prompt, and the vehicle is great. I would not ever hesitate to rent from her again.
Easy pickup and drop off. Super nice and very easy to communicate with. Overall had a great experience with the rental and no issues at all. Was honest about car and its condition and even took care of the check in process pictures for me.
2nd time renting the Maserati, best car ever! I'm sure I'll rent again in the future lol Leon is a great host, he makes everything easy. Car is definitely a eye catcher
Very good communication. Easy to work with and kind people. Would happily rent from again.
