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

The service was great. Had a problem they were right out to fix it. Picking the car up was easy. Turning it in not so. But other than that no complaints and I would recommend you to anyone on a tight budget who needs to rent a car for short or extended period of time.

Polaris Slingshot 2016

★★★★★ Highly Recommended! I recently rented a Polaris Slingshot and had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The Slingshot was spotless, well-maintained, and in excellent condition. It drove beautifully and was an absolute blast to take through the Malibu canyons. The combination of the open-air ride, incredible scenery, and the Slingshot's performance made for an unforgettable adventure. What made the experience even more special was sharing it with my dad. We spent the day cruising through the winding canyon roads, taking in the views, and making memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. It was one of those rare experiences that you never forget. I also want to compliment the owner, who was outstanding throughout the entire rental process. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. He took the time to explain everything about the Slingshot, answered all of our questions, and made us feel completely comfortable before heading out. It's clear that he takes great pride in his vehicles and values his customers. If you're thinking about renting a Polaris Slingshot, don't hesitate. The vehicle itself is an incredible driving machine, and renting from such a knowledgeable and accommodating owner made the experience even better. I would absolutely rent again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure.

Person that helped me out was amazing. My last reservation got canceled last minute and she was able to help me out quickly and get me and my family into a car that we needed to celebrate my sons birthday. She even saw that I was arriving earlier and helped me out so that way we wouldn’t be waiting long to pick up the rental. Would recommend this person again.

Toyota Prius Prime 2021

I had a very short and complicated trip with flight delays, quick return, etc. And Art was very accomodating and kind. He made sure that when both my first and second flights got delayed he was still able to have the car at the airport for my new pick up time. He messaged me beforehand to greet me, again on trip day and again for pickup. He was very prompt and kind for return of the vehicle as well. When picking up the car my phone was almost dead due to so many airport delays, he had a charger waiting for me and then asked me about my trip to ensure all was well. The vehicle was very smooth, easy to operate, ample space and great on gas. I would definitely recommend him as a host as well as the vehicle to anyone needing a vehicle in the area.

Excellent experience renting this Volkswagen Jetta through Turo. Communication was great from start to finish, and the host was always quick to respond. The pickup and drop-off process was simple and hassle-free. The car was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I even ran into a parking payment issue during the trip, and the host took care of it right away without any problems. That level of customer service was greatly appreciated. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable rental experience. I would definitely rent from this host again and will be reaching out the next time I need a vehicle. Highly recommended!

Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the host was responsive and easy to work with from start to finish. The Corvette was an absolute blast to drive and definitely turned heads everywhere I went. If you’re looking for a fun, reliable, and memorable rental experience, I highly recommend booking this vehicle. Would absolutely rent again!

Toyota Prius 2013

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.
