He was very helpful with every accommodation I needed during my trip and would rent a car from him again
Great car! Saved me a lot of money and time driving a hybrid! The guys pick me up at the airport and dropping me back off at the end of my trip, which was a completely unexpected service and made my life much easier really gracious really simple and a really great car for a great price
This was my first Turo rental and I hope they’re all this good. Everything went smoothly with pick up and drop off. The car was full and in great condition. His texts were friendly and professional. The cost was almost half the rental companies. Highly recommended.
Needed last minute car rental so happy with the car. Clean and maintained , definitely going to rent again :)
The car was awesome! Great price, ran great and amazing on gas mileage. Zippy and great for in city or the hills. Thank you!
Efficient host who dropped and picked up the car quick. Car drives very nice. I’d recommend turo over budget rental and enterprise
Great ride, clean, easy rental process, clear instruction on pick up/drop off
Sergey was an excellent host! He was very responsive and provided clear, easy to follow instructions for both picking up and dropping off the car, which made the entire process seamless. The car was clean, comfortable, and drove very smoothly with no mechanical or technical issues throughout the trip. It had a fresh, clean smell with no cigarette odor or any unpleasant smells. The fuel consumption was also very reasonable, which was a nice bonus. Overall, everything went perfectly from start to finish. I would definitely rent from Sergey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a rental car on Turo.
I had a great experience renting this car for a 3-day trip . The car was clean, reliable, and very fuel-efficient, which helped save on gas during the trip. Having unlimited mileage was a huge bonus and gave me peace of mind while traveling. The owner was friendly, responsive, and made the entire rental process smooth and easy. I would definitely rent this car again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle
Excellent car, in perfect condition. Economical and at an excellent price. The host was very friendly and responded quickly to all my questions. Highly recommended.
I am new to Turo so unsure how respected the review system is but I definitely am a real human and rented this car for a month and everything was as perfect as can be for someone who usually would shy away from a red car ;). The pickup was easy, car was totally clean and just washed. I appreciated the slide out hatchback cover was in there because I feel they are often missing in big name car rental companies. The couple times I had to communicate with the owner he answered promptly and clear and easy to communicate with. And the drop off was just as seamless as the pickup. I used close to the monthly amount of allowed miles so enough to have some weight behind saying that throughout all of them there was never a weird noise or feeling at all to make me wonder if the car was in anything but excellent order and well maintained. Okay that's about the longest review I've ever written for anything but seemed fair to do so - due to everything I wrote above.
Easiest car rental I’ve had on Turo. Dude was super nice and I was easily able to extend my trip for an extra day for a great price. Highly recommend for my friends out there visiting the Valley. Thanks man!
Great experience from start to finish. The car was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. The staff was friendly, professional, and made the rental process quick and easy. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend their service.
I rent from this host often, and every time it’s a very smooth trip! Convenient and easy pick up and drop off. Non contact. There is a gas station right next to drop off so it’s easy to fill up. Great on gas. Car runs great!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience renting from this host! The Tesla Model 3 was spotless, well-maintained, and drove perfectly. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the host was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout my trip. I ended up extending my rental several times because everything went so smoothly, and they made the process easy every time. I truly appreciated their excellent communication and hospitality. I would absolutely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great Turo experience. Thank you again for everything!
Dieter is the coolest and nicest guy! He was very helpful, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire rental process. I highly recommend him and would love the opportunity to rent his car again next time.
