I can’t say enough good things about using Turo! The whole process was smooth, convenient, and so much better than traditional car rental companies. The app is easy to use, the communication with the host was seamless, and the car was exactly as described clean, reliable, and perfect for my trip. What really sets this rental apart is the personal touch. Instead of feeling like just another customer at a rental counter, I felt like I was borrowing a car from a trusted friend. Pick-up and drop-off were simple and flexible, and the price was more than fair. Whether you’re traveling or just need a car for a day or weeks, I highly recommend giving it a try. I’ll definitely be using it again!
The truck was incredible I fell in love with it and am going to get the exact same one so nice and clean on the inside, seats comfortable and the system sounds amazing. The rims are just gorgeous and I really liked that it seems lifted it it’s just the big tires. It’s a beautiful truck and I’m so glad I rented it, because I now I have to have one. I highly recommend this truck to anyone I guarantee you will fall in love too, plus it drives like a charm. But what was even better than the truck? The service that I received from Zoeb, he’s such a nice and cool guy does really good business and if I could give 10 stars out of 5 I would I rent vehicles pretty often so I’ve tried all the car rental companies and Turo Is my favorite, and anytime I need a rental I’m going straight to Zoeb, thank you so much for an amazing experience Gavin done business with you, you got me as a loyal customer for life!
Shane was fantastic to rent from. I rented his RAM 1500 HEMI for 3 days during my Yellowstone trip with my family, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. As promised, the truck was waiting for me at the airport with a full tank of fuel. The truck was very clean, spacious, comfortable, and handled the mountain roads beautifully, which made traveling with the family very enjoyable. Shane was extremely responsive to all my messages and very easy to work with throughout the trip. No hassles at all. I’m very pleased with the experience and would highly recommend Shane to anyone visiting Cody and looking for a reliable rental.
Clint was an outstanding host from start to finish! The entire rental process was incredibly easy, smooth, and stress-free. He was friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure everything was clear and convenient throughout the trip. The truck itself was excellent—clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was spotless when I picked it up and performed flawlessly the entire time. I took it on a longer trip and had absolutely zero issues. The ride was comfortable, reliable, and handled everything I needed with ease. If you’re looking for a five-star experience all around, book with this host!!! I will absolutely rent from him again in the future! Thank you!!
We’ve now rented for three straight months from Broden, choosing multiple vehicles. He has always been extremely responsive and made our experience smooth. He has some of the best vehicles available and at a very reasonable price. We tried to rent from another listing this past week after returning our last vehicle to Broden, and immediately had to contact Turo to have them cancel the reservation due to major mechanical issues. Broden keeps up on his mechanical services, that added Rocket Car Wash unlimited pass is a really nice bonus, and pickup and drop off are so convenient. We just booked our 4th month and 3rd vehicle today with Broden.
Shane’s Dodge Ram 1500 with the Hemi was an excellent rental. My fiancée and I drove it from Colorado Springs through Utah, Arizona, and Nevada on our way to Las Vegas, and it handled the entire trip beautifully. The truck drove great through the desert, felt comfortable on the long stretches, and had plenty of power for the mountain roads. Shane made the experience easy, and the Ram was exactly what we needed for a road trip. Would definitely rent from him again!
It was my first visit to America, and my dream was to drive a big truck like the Ram. The Ram is also my dream car. The vehicle was great—clean and reliable. I definitely recommend it and will definitely rent from Matt again. Thank you for the amazing experience and the opportunity to drive a Ram in America.
PB's communication was clear and friendly. He was also flexible to accommodate my request for the car pickup location. His RAM truck is clean and spacious with good safety features. All in all, I'd recommend PB's rental to anyone who's looking for a spacious and powerful vehicle of that size to rent.
pick up and drop off always clean, I recommend Roman to who ever is going to a rent a car
Essential San Francisco attractions and scenic drives
San Francisco offers incredible diversity with attractions ranging from historic Alcatraz Island to the colorful Victorian houses of the Painted Ladies. You can easily reach Golden Gate Park, Fisherman's Wharf, and Chinatown with your rental car, making the most of your California adventure. A Ram truck provides the ground clearance and power needed to tackle the city's steepest streets while offering ample space for shopping bags and camera equipment. The truck's robust build handles the frequent stop-and-go traffic around popular locations like Pier 39 and Union Square. Your rental car opens up possibilities for day trips to nearby Napa Valley or the scenic coastal highway leading to Half Moon Bay.
Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands exploration
The Golden Gate Bridge stands as San Francisco's most recognizable landmark, offering spectacular photo opportunities from multiple vantage points throughout the city.

Your Ram rental car provides the perfect platform for capturing elevated shots of the bridge and bay, while the truck's spacious interior accommodates photography equipment and picnic supplies for extended visits.
Alcatraz Island and Fisherman's Wharf waterfront district
Fisherman's Wharf buzzes with activity as visitors explore Pier 39's sea lions, street performers, and waterfront restaurants serving fresh Dungeness crab. The area serves as the departure point for Alcatraz Island tours, where you can explore the infamous former federal prison. Your Ram truck easily navigates the waterfront's busy streets and provides secure storage for souvenirs while you enjoy the maritime atmosphere and stunning bay views.
Lombard Street and Russian Hill neighborhood charm
Lombard Street earns its reputation as the "crookedest street in the world" with eight sharp hairpin turns descending Russian Hill through beautifully landscaped gardens. You'll appreciate your Ram's precise steering and braking capability when navigating this famous stretch, though the street's narrow width requires careful attention. The surrounding Russian Hill neighborhood offers excellent views of the bay and Coit Tower, with several parking options available for exploring the area on foot.

Golden Gate Park spans over 1,000 acres and houses attractions like the Japanese Tea Garden, de Young Museum, and the California Academy of Sciences.

Your Ram rental car handles the steep, winding road to the summit with ease, while the elevated seating position enhances the already spectacular vistas. The nearby Castro District offers vibrant nightlife, historic theaters, and rainbow crosswalks celebrating the neighborhood's rich cultural heritage and welcoming atmosphere.
