Nissan Altima 2025

The Nissan Altima was great. Good mpg, clean, lots of power, great response time. The car needed to be picked up at an off site location called, economy car rental at 2367 India street. A proximity 2 1/2 miles from the airport. You will need to find a ride to their location. The price of taxi will be $30, however we took the free shuttle to the car rental center then walked 20 minutes the rest of the way. The team at this location did a great job, fast, friendly, polite, and after returning they able to offer a ride back to the airport. We would rent this Altima again, and I would recommend this vehicle.

Nissan Sentra 2022

This is exactly what I wanted. I loved the convenience of taking the free airport shuttle to the parking lot to pick up the car. This was my first Turo car rental and Janice was very patient with all of my questions! The car drove well and got over 30 miles per gallon, mainly freeway driving. The price was very fair. The next time I'm in San Diego, if the car is available, I will definitely rent it from Janice again!

Nissan LEAF 2023

The opportunity to rent an EV and not have to pay. Gas. Prices is incredible. You do have to pay $20 to get the car out of parking. So factor that in but that pays in comparison to how much she would normally pay in gas for any other car. The car itself is easy and nice. And a great ride. Love it.

Nissan Kicks 2025

I would rent from this host ANYTIME. First, I have never seen a car as clean as this one was when I picked it up. Not a speck of dust, not a single smear of a window, rugs, seats, dash, cup holders completely pristine. Second, the host was available to walk me through a change to my pick-up time when I happened to be very near the car after a yoga class. No extra charges, just kindness! Third, the same issue arose at drop off - the time I had selected wasn’t as convenient for me as I’d originally hoped. My host was very accommodating and helpful. Anyway, as strange as it seems to be excited about a car rental experience, I am!

Nissan NV 2017

Fantastic van to rent while in San Diego with a bunch of girls! The van fit all of my girlfriends comfortably and we were able to go to downtown for food tours, we were able to go to nearby national parks for hikes, and also able to park it at our VRBO. It is quite a tall and big vehicle, and it took a little bit of getting used to as far as driving and parking goes. I would not recommend a lot of the parking garages since there are height limits, so we mostly parked either on the street or in lots… And we were grateful that our VRBO had a Driveway. Great price, saved us a lot of money in Ubers.
