I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mead Green Autos Turo program. I’ve used Turo numerous times, but my other experiences pale in comparison. First, the pricing was very fair, especially for the class of car I was renting. A brand new 2025 Porsche Macan. I opted to use their “white glove” drop off and pick up offering. It was well worth the $70 or so dollars. My host was waiting for me outside of arrivals and I dropped the car off in the same location, which is across the median and away from the huge crowd of cars. The Macan was immaculate and so much fun to drive. I used to work at Porsche Cars North America but have never driven the Macan. LOVED IT! I also needed a car seat, which was also in pristine condition and high quality. Other car rental companies give me cheap, kind of gross car seats!! The hosts communication throughout the entire process was superb. He went out of his way to help me when I got turned around at the international terminal. Finally, I’m born and raised in Atlanta but live out of state now. I’ve been in and out of Hartsfield-Jackson probably 1000 times. Mead Green was by far one of my best experiences and made traveling with my 4 year old seamless. We got on and off the plane, walked straight in our out of the airport, never stepping foot in a parking deck, dealing with the skytrain to get to the big rental car agencies or having to wait on a ride share service. RENT WITH MEAD GREEN AUTOS!! You wont regret it. I will continue to book with them on my many trips to Atlanta.
5 stars all day. Rented the convertible Porsche for our Vegas trip and it was an absolute dream. The car was kept at the airport for us, so pickup was seamless — no waiting, no rental counter, just keys and go. Spotless, perfectly maintained, and a total head-turner with the top down on the Strip. Communication from the host was quick and professional from start to finish. We highly recommend this beautiful ride. Will rent again next trip!
I loved driving this Porsche Macan! It was very smooth and you can feel the speed of the car easily. Chang was very communicative and flexible with adjusting or return time. I really appreciated that! I highly recommend renting this Porsche Macan and I would definitely rent a car from Chang Jiang again!
I’m a local I didn’t wanna unload my truck. Might rent a Porsche for two days and he’s the only guy who called me back and said his car was available. I respect that I gave him two hours. There is in the car was ready. Beautiful car beautiful car. But an incredible hos😁
The car goes with us more than 5000 miles. We rent it for 17 days And it was very fun and nice ride ! For know I love brand Porsche more. It’s luxury + sport SUV.👍🏼🔝 Inside and outside. Host is super easy going and communicate guy. Price worth this Porsche on 100%!! Thanks for this nice SUV Sir ! 😎✊🏼
I just finished my rental with Andy’s Porsche Taycan and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The car was absolutely immaculate, drove incredibly smooth, and had more than enough performance to make every trip enjoyable. You can tell the vehicle is very well maintained and cared for. Andy was a great host. Communication was quick, clear, and professional the entire time. Pickup and drop-off were easy and hassle-free, which made the whole rental process seamless. If you’re thinking about renting this car or any of Andy’s cars, don’t hesitate. Amazing car and an even better host. I would definitely rent from Andy again!
I really am in love with this car and the host is super nice! Great communication! I highly recommend this car to anyone who wants to rent a Porsche Macan. I will definitely rent this car again!
The 2018 Porsche Panamera was an excellent rental experience. The pickup process was smooth and easy, and the customer service was outstanding throughout. The car itself was clean, well-maintained, and drove perfectly. Overall, a very professional and hassle-free experience—I would definitely rent again.
Everything was as described by the host. I would recommend to anyone in Tampa area looking to rent a car to rent Jamie’s Macan.
Nick was an amazing host from start to finish. The Porsche Macan was absolutely EPIC — powerful, sleek, clean, smooth, and every bit of the luxury experience I was hoping for. I originally rented it for work, but I enjoyed it so much that I extended the trip for pleasure, and my family loved every second of it too. Nick’s customer service was top-tier. He was accommodating with my last-minute changes, easy to communicate with, and made the entire rental process feel effortless. The vehicle definitely turns heads, but the overall experience with Nick is what really made it stand out. I’d absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a luxury ride with a professional, reliable host.
I rented this Porsche as a birthday present for my husband for the day. While I am rating a 5 stars, I did have some feedback. The inside was clean and tidy, nice smooth run. The exterior though needed a wash. At the price we paid for approx 8 hours, it would have nice not to come to the car with bird dropping all over it. Seems like the car may have no moved in some time. Checkin was easy but checkout was a bit complicated as we wanted to return the rental later in the day. While it was confirmed with the host, we had to get Turo involved to get a hold of host to lock the car finally. Everyone was very professional. All in all it was a great experience just some hiccups along the way.
Car is alright, there are some malfunction alerts sometimes while driving but that’s just because it is the system malfunctions not the car itself, the car work fantastic and smoothly during our trip. Host is very responsive and helpful throughout the trip. Impressed and would rent a car from Hanna again for future Seattle trip.
I needed a car for the next day, the host had very short notice but he arranged all the details for me very quickly. The car was ready to go at pick up time. We rented a Porsche and had a great ride!
Excellent vehicle and an outstanding rental experience! The Porsche Macan was in beautiful condition, exceptionally clean, and a pleasure to drive. Mike was wonderful to deal with from start to finish. He was an excellent communicator, always available to answer questions, and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I thoroughly enjoyed driving this beautiful car and would not hesitate to rent from Mike again. Highly recommended
We rented Jackie’s 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster, and it performed incredibly well. Her staff were courteous, professional, and always on time,some of the best service I’ve come across. I’d definitely recommend her services. As for Jackie, she was wonderful to deal with-an excellent person to rent a car from.
What a beautiful car got the Porsche cruise off the bucket list ! The host’s were great and very accommodating. Let’s talk about the car what an experience. Such a fun swift car to get around in didn’t want to drop it off was truly sad. Will definitely rent again in the near future.
