Chevrolet Volt 2014

A great car and definitely attentive host. I really appreciate that- Leon was great. So glad I went this route to rent a car vs going to a commercial car rental place. So much more personable. Would definitely recommend working with Leon!

First we just want to thank Craig for being there when we were going threw a death in the family. He was very thoughtful and caring. He has thought of everything and really cares about his clients. “ABBA” was spotless clean, drove like a cloud, and comfy for the long drive. When needing a truck Craig thinks of every small detail you may need, tarp, tie downs, ratchet straps etc. We were so stressed about having to rent a car from a big national car rental agency, with their ridiculous high deposits and it’s always something when renting a car from a rental agency like Avis or enterprise, etc. This transaction with Craig is one of the easiest that we’ve ever come across. Zero stress during a very stressful and emotional time. Having a safe, clean ride to get where we needed to go for the funeral made that part of it a lot easier to deal with. He’s got several vehicles. Make sure you check them out. We didn’t know that it was our very first time renting with Turo and with Craig. He probably has something that you want to drive especially the caddy lol. We like to build business relationships and stick with businesses that actually care about their clients and Craig is great!!! We will definitely be going back to Craig ASAP. My wife appreciated the “passenger princess” supplies 🙌🏻🖤 most of all. Thanks again Craig and “ABBA”, for taking the stress out of renting a car. We will never go through a national car agency again…. we will be back soon for our next upcoming trip!!!!

Chevrolet Equinox 2018

My experience with turo and this renter have great! The whole thing was easy to use and the people were very friendly and went out of the way to accomodate me. They even brought the car to my house and picked it up there. Turo has alot of cars and varieties to choose from too. The biggest plus to using turo is the price! I paid about half of what I would pay to rent from a car rental dealer. I give turo a 10+!

Chevrolet Corvette 2024

I had an outstanding experience renting from Andrew. I rented his Chevrolet Corvette C8 from May 1st to May 3rd for my son’s prom, and the entire process exceeded expectations. The vehicle was spotless upon pickup, and Andrew went above and beyond by leaving a thoughtful note and a small gift for my son, something he absolutely didn’t have to do. That gesture spoke volumes about his character and genuine care for his renters. Pickup was seamless. The car was located in covered airport parking, positioned at the end of the row, making it extremely easy to find. From start to finish, everything was well thought out and convenient. The Corvette itself was an absolute joy to drive, and more importantly, it created a memorable experience for my son, exactly what I was hoping for on such a special occasion. Andrew was highly attentive and responsive throughout the rental. He answered all of my questions promptly and even checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly, which I appreciated. I would not hesitate to rent from Andrew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top tier Turo experience.

Chevrolet Bolt EV 2017

Car was amazing. I took this car to a lao new years event 2 hours away. Check in was easyThe only issue is finding a charger because many chargers are broken or reject my method of payment despite it being visa . That has nothing to do with the car itself. It was clean well put together and had everything from chargers in usb c and Apple lightning. Never have to worry about gas prices again. Will rent again from him !
