No problems with car. Ran fine. Pickup/drop off confusing bc they used a different address than listed and didn’t message me to clarify where I was going prior to drop off. Luckily I had extra time to go to a different location.
Great car may consider getting one myself very clean host was great. Great price no conflicts at all. Would consider renting this car again close to home. Very convenient.
The car was in perfect condition when I picked it up, and the entire rental process was easy and straightforward. Everything went smoothly, which made my trip stress-free. I would definitely rent from Jose again.
I’ve rented from this host multiple times, and every experience has been excellent. The cars are always spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Communication is outstanding Jose is always quick to respond, helpful, and makes the entire rental process smooth and stress-free. It’s clear he takes pride in providing a great experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from Jose again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable Turo host! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The car is perfect for a trip! So economic and clean, the host was super helpful and friendly! I would totally rent again from her
Best experience ever! Both William and Sarah are really kind and easy to communicate with, the car was clean just like brand new one, I had a wonderful trip with it! Highly recommended! And will definitely come back next time
I had an absolutely amazing experience with this rental and the host. We took the car all the way to Los Angeles for my daughter’s Disneyland trip, and everything went perfectly. The car was reliable, great on gas, comfortable, and drove smoothly the entire way. The host was phenomenal—very accommodating, responsive, and easy to communicate with. I was running slightly late returning the vehicle, and she was very understanding and worked with me, which I truly appreciated. The entire process from start to finish was smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a reliable vehicle, a great gas saver, and an excellent host who communicates well and takes care of her guests, I highly recommend booking with her. 10/10 experience. I would absolutely book with her again and will definitely be looking to book another trip soon!

Smart tips for renting a car in San Leandro
A little planning makes your San Leandro rental smoother. Here's what to know before you drive.
Road rules and traffic
San Leandro connects to the rest of the Bay Area by Interstate 880 and Interstate 580, so getting around is straightforward. Traffic builds during the morning and evening commutes, so plan longer drives outside those windows when you can, and keep an eye on real-time conditions.
Parking
Downtown San Leandro offers a mix of street parking and public lots, with metered spaces and posted time limits during business hours. Watch the signs for restrictions, and use a garage or lot for longer stays.
Toll roads
Several Bay Area bridges use electronic tolling, so there are no toll booths to stop at. Check your rental details in the Turo app before your trip so you know how any bridge crossings are handled.
Gas and EV charging
Gas stations are easy to find along San Leandro's main roads and near the highways. Prefer to skip the pump? An electric vehicle rental pairs well with the East Bay's growing network of charging stations.
Do you need a car in San Leandro?
While BART and buses serve the city, a car is the easiest way to reach Lake Chabot, the shoreline, and nearby towns on your own schedule. Booking early on Turo gives you the best selection, and weekly or monthly rates can bring the cost down on longer trips.
