The Nissan Altima was great. Good mpg, clean, lots of power, great response time. The car needed to be picked up at an off site location called, economy car rental at 2367 India street. A proximity 2 1/2 miles from the airport. You will need to find a ride to their location. The price of taxi will be $30, however we took the free shuttle to the car rental center then walked 20 minutes the rest of the way. The team at this location did a great job, fast, friendly, polite, and after returning they able to offer a ride back to the airport. We would rent this Altima again, and I would recommend this vehicle.
Excellent experience! The Nissan Rogue 2024 was clean, comfortable, and in perfect condition. The car drove smoothly, had great acceleration, and was very reliable throughout my trip. It smelled fresh and was well maintained. The entire rental process was easy and stress-free. Everything went perfectly from pickup to drop-off. I would definitely rent from this host again and highly recommend both the vehicle and the host to other travelers. Thank you for a great experience!
After uncertainty with an Enterprise car rental reservation, I was forced to look for other options, and that’s when we found Samantha’s Nissan Rogue Sport. Once we verified our Turo account, it was an easy transaction and a comfortable feeling knowing that our travel plans were still happening. Great price, unlimited miles, and supporting locally rather than a corporation. We will definitely use Turo and Samantha’s rental in the future!
I had the pleasure of renting the 2026 Nissan Kicks from RUMET and the experience was amazing from start to finish! The vehicle was very clean, modern, comfortable, and drove extremely smooth. I also loved how good the gas mileage was during my trip. The updated features inside the car made the ride even better. RUMET was excellent with communication and answered all of my questions in a fast and timely manner. He made the entire rental process easy, stress-free, and professional. The Nissan Kicks was spacious, stylish, and perfect for getting around town while still being easy to park. I would definitely rent from RUMET again and highly recommend both him and the 2026 Nissan Kicks to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable rental experience on Turo!
The option of Renting this Nissan Frontier pick up truck appeared at first glance like an “anxiety-reducing opportunity”, and here’s the reason why: -Pretty much all of the other trucks of the same type (with the oversized compartment in the back) are advertising for over $200 at the minimum, and quite often for just 24 hours. -In addition to the relief I felt as I noticed that this one was reasonably priced, the pick up location came as an unexpected bonus. Basically, there are a great number of car dealerships, most if not all, located one next to the other, occupying about a mile-long segment of the main road connecting Colma and Daly City called Serramonte Blvd. Thus, after dropping my car at the Volkswagen dealership on Serramonte blvd, being able to access this rental, located only about a mile away was a pleasant surprise. Especially when you combine that with the affordable price. - Lastly, the communication with the truck owner was easy and the details provided were quite thorough; which altogether made for an “anxiety-reducing” experience overall😀👍🙏. Thank you again for making the rental process of your Frontier, as simple and stress-free as it can be. Kel F, PharmD
I was very pleased with the car and the price. It’s a great way to rent a car for a several months.
Cars of Jax is a great option for your car rental needs—short or long term. The location was easy to find with a variety of rental options ranging from cars to suvs. The suv I rented was fully loaded, clean, and was great for work and travel needs. Communication with the owner was perfect: all questions and concerns were addressed in less than 10 minutes. Cars of Jax is my favorite host to rent vehicles from, and I will be a returning customer.
Cesar was an excellent host and the Nissan Sentra was phenomenal to drive!! I will always go back and rent a car from Cesar in the future if need be!
Last minute car rental. The Nissan Kicks was cute. Mike and Joy were absolutely wonderful and went out of their way for us! Thank you guys again! We would definitely rent from them again!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent experience – highly recommended! I rented Jean’s 2025 Nissan Pathfinder for two weeks, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The car worked perfectly and was the ideal size for our group of five, including two children. It was very clean, in excellent condition, and extremely easy and comfortable to drive. The price was also very fair for the quality of the vehicle and the overall experience. Jean is a fantastic host. He was very helpful with a few questions I had at the beginning of the trip and always replied quickly. Pickup and drop-off were both smooth and easy, and communication throughout the rental was excellent. We had absolutely no issues. As an extra gesture, Jean even dropped off a car seat for my nephew at the hotel where we I was staying near Miami, which made a big difference for us and was greatly appreciated. I’m truly grateful, as having this SUV made it possible for my family and me to have an amazing vacation in Florida. I would not hesitate to rent from Jean again in the future. In fact, we’re already planning to come back in a couple of years, and I would love to rent this vehicle again if it’s available. Thank you very much, Jean, for everything!
Had an excellent experience renting from Wilkens, far superior to traditional car rental companies in terms of price and ease. Would absolutely rent again and will recommend to others.
The car rental process was smooth and hassle-free. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the car was clean and in great condition. Pickup and return were quick and easy. Overall, a very good experience and I would definitely rent from them again.
I had a great rental experience with Alexis’ Nissan. The car drove smoothly and got great gas mileage. Alexis was friendly and helpful throughout the whole rental process. I would definitely rent from him again in the future!
I had a really great experience renting this 2019 Nissan Altima. The car was very dependable and drove smoothly the entire time, which made my trip stress free. Everything about the rental process was handled professionally, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow from start to finish.The only downsides were that the radio volume button on the dashboard didn’t work, so I had to use the steering wheel controls to adjust the volume. Also, the regular headlights weren’t working, so I had to drive with the high beams on.Other than those minor issues, I was very satisfied with the rental and host. I would definitely rent this vehicle again and highly recommend it to others looking for a reliable ride.10/10 experience!!!!!
10/10 experience from start to finish! We rented a Nissan Rogue SUV and absolutely loved it. The car was very comfortable, spacious, clean, and perfect for our family. It made the drive feel smooth and stress-free. The customer service was excellent. Everyone was professional, helpful, and welcoming. A special thank you to Vinuela (I hope I spelled her name correctly) for being so kind, patient, and informative throughout the process. She explained everything clearly and made renting the car so easy for us. We’ve rented from other companies before and sometimes the process can feel complicated or stressful, but this experience was completely different. Everything was simple, fast, and professional. Definitely the best rental car company we’ve used so far. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Nissan Passenger Bus was awesome. Did everything we needed it to for 5 adults and 4 car-seated kids! Powerful and spacious. We all had checked bags, carry-ons, and personal items, plus 2 double strollers and car seat bags. All fit fine. The hosts were extremely helpful, very communicative and everything was detailed for pickup, dropoff, etc. No surprises or unexpected fees. Only two things to be award of with a vehicle this size - turning radius is what you would expect, a little large, and the ride, being a 3500 (1-ton) vehicle is not silky smooth. None of those are negatives against the host or the vehicle itself. It's a 12 passenger van. No way around that! The hosts did offer to configure the seating anyway we wanted which was super helpful with all the stuff we needed to accommodate. Thanks!
The car quality was excellent and very comfortable. He left hand sanitizer and a garbage bag in the car. The host was extremely helpful with comprehensive directions on the rent a car process. Matt is a great host!
