One of the best rental cars for an LA trip! Clean car with current features, equipped with self drive- fun and saves you gas money! Host was incredibly helpful and responded quickly. Highly recommend
Kazi was very communicative from the start and made the entire rental process easy. His Veloster N was extremely clean, well maintained, and a lot of fun to drive. As a fellow Veloster N owner, it was nice getting to drive a stock-feeling car while mine is getting some work done. I’d definitely rent from Kazi again!
I had an excellent experience from start to finish. The car was in great condition, extremely reliable, and an absolute pleasure to drive. Everything about the rental process was smooth and hassle-free. The host was outstanding—very professional, helpful, and incredibly responsive whenever I had a question. Communication was quick and easy throughout the entire experience. I would absolutely rent from this host again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and exceptional service. Overall, a fantastic experience!
Excellent car and excellent service. I was very satisfied with the entire experience. Everything was easy and convenient, and the car was in great condition. If I needed to rent a car again, I would definitely choose this same car. Highly recommended!
5 stars!! We booked this car with less than 24 hours’ notice after our previous reservation with someone else was cancelled, and everything was so easy and seamless. We met Dimitry at pickup and he was incredible! The car was AMAZING! So fun and perfect for our photoshoot. I miss it already! Highly recommend booking!
Host was punctual and communicative. Car was clean and drove so nicely. Great car with the price of gas right now. Loved it so much, I bought the same car when I returned home!
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!

Gev was outstanding from start to finish. He was very responsive, personable, and made the entire rental process smooth and hassle-free.

Amazing car! I drove some nice cars in the past (BMWs 1 and 3 series, Mini Cooper, Abarth 124 Spider…), but this Porsche Boxster is on a league of its own. By far the best car I’ve ever driven. Surprisingly comfortable also. Very nice host. Recommended!!
This was the best car for our trip! We have a Prius at home but this one gets the BEST gas mileage!! David was so easy to work with and we will most definitely only use his car moving forward!
An excellent experience from start to finish! I rented the car for 5 days, and it was absolutely amazing. The car was clean, comfortable, and in great condition. The owner was incredibly friendly, supportive, and responsive throughout the entire rental. Everything went smoothly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended, and I would definitely rent from him again!
Sergey was so kind that he waited and personally handed to me due to the parking lot was full. Great car and I will definitely rent it again. I do like to recommend Sergey about the windshield stickers to replace with a brighter ones as it will improve the driving experience at night. Overall friendly owner, great car and love to rent again in my next trip.
I always come back to Sarkis! His car was wonderful on my business trip. I had no problems, I can’t wait to try all the cars he has 🙏❤️
