Brunson was so helpful for my first time using Turo, I could not of asked for a better host!!! The car did well and was a good drive. A bit of a mamajuana sort of smell when I picked it up and the plastic surfaces on the dash and seats were dusty or sticky - but for the price I paid I understood those sort of things may be a possibility. Overall I was happy and became comfortable using the car once I got settled!

The host was always responsive, communicated clearly, and made the entire process smooth from pickup to drop off. Any questions I had were answered quickly, which gave me peace of mind throughout the trip. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hassle free Turo experience. Thanks again for the excellent service!
