It was half the price of the big name car rental companies. Travis was responsive when we had questions. The car was as described and worked perfectly for our trip. Knowing that we had plenty of miles included with the rental was a relief. I would definitely rent from Travis again.

Matthew communicated very well. The vehicle was clean and in good shape. Finding and dropping off the vehicle was easy except I had to pay for parking when I received the car. The only other comments are with Tueo's business model not with Matthew. 1: You have to download the app to rent a vehicle. 2: There are many hoops to jump through to book the vehicle. (Taking photo ID, driver's license photo, etc.) 3: There is a short time limit to when you have to reply or your reservation will be cancelled and you have to start the process all over again. I was in the middle of boarding a plane when this noticed appeared and had to rush. 4: When putting in my phone number the system kept adding a digit that was not in my phone number. In addition the cursor would not let me delete the odd number and add a valid one. After numerous tries, I had to figure out a way to keep moving the cursor to the place each digit needed to be and then add each number. I had to do this process for every number. 5: Turo needs to have a contact phone number which connects the customer to a real person (not AI) to help walk the customer through issues like I had. And it needs to be done in real time and quickly. Renting from a Rental Car Company is so much easier and efficient. That said, I will think twice about renting another vehicle from Turo until they review their business model and make the experience more efficient and customer friendly.

If Turo had a Host of the Year award, Carlos would definitely be one of my top nominees! From check-in to drop-off, everything was top-notch. The car was clean, well-maintained, and much more spacious than we expected for a sedan. Carlos was extremely responsive and handled any questions or concerns with professionalism and care. His customer service truly made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. He has definitely earned a spot among my top Turo hosts, and I would gladly rent from him again!

The vehicle was clean (just as advertised), it ran well (excellent gas mileage), and it was a fun car to drive. No issues. Pure joy.
