BMW rental in San Mateo, CA

Loved this BMW. It is in great condition, like new. Easy pick up and drop off! A really fun car to drive and it was perfect for our trip to Santa Clara for graduation. The rental process and communication was seamless. Very quick responses to any of my messages. I would absolutely rent this car again!

The E89 BMW Z4 is a beautiful machine. Just by nature of it being a fantastic car and an enthusiast machine, I’m glad to rate it 5 stars. Turo needs more cars like this! The car is full of character. The motor runs smoothly, pulls nicely, and has a raspy growl that sounds fantastic. The ride is low and responsive; the steering is delightfully heavy, and the car goes wherever you point it. You should, however, know and expect what you’re getting yourself into. It’s a 2011 car, and sitting at around 100k miles, it’s going to have some wear and tear, and that’s sort of to be expected. I must say, most of the small issues did not bother me for the trip - if you’re looking for a fun drive, I would heartily recommend the car. See the following details as extra info for the discerning guest, not as criticism. The front bumper / lip is somewhat scuffed - might be the result of guests not knowing how to navigate a car so low. Front bumper clips don’t hold the edges in place so it does hang a little loose around the headlights. If you've never owned a car this low, I'd definitely be careful with kerbs and ramps. On my own cars, I've learned this the hard way. I didn’t have any usability issues with the hardtop convertible, despite the occasional error code on the dash as other reviewers have mentioned - I was still able to put it up and down. The mechanism is delicate so I’d definitely encourage guests to review how to properly operate it before using. You have to lower the trunk shield and latch it in place. Note that there is limited luggage space in such a car - seems obvious but don’t expect to get away with lots of stuff. Perfect though for a quick weekend getaway. The pictures in the listing are a little outdated - compared to those, the car isn’t lowered, the car is back on factory wheels (as opposed to aftermarket), and the trunk doesn’t have the black spoiler trim on the edge. I’d summarize it as being more “stock” than the listing. At the time of my trip, the tires were 320TW front, 420TW rear; matching sets on each axle but different front/rear. The host clearly checked for tread before the trip, so that was much appreciated. My only real nitpick would be - the car could use an alignment - neutral steering position is a little offset on the wheel. Hopefully a quick fix for the team. Host was VERY responsive - appreciate their fantastic response time - but I would have appreciated them being more forthcoming with details of the car’s current condition, and/or more up-to-date pictures when requested before the trip. All in all, would recommend this to my friends, and would be happy to rent again. Really enjoyable trip!

We rented Wade’s BMW iX for 3½ months and couldn’t have asked for a better host. He was always responsive whenever we had questions, and made the entire experience smooth and easy from start to finish. The car was fantastic, and Wade’s communication made all the difference. If we ever need to rent a car again, it’ll definitely be from him. Highly recommend!

Great car. Beautifully maintained. Fast responses to questions. Excellent host! Will rent again

Amazing experience! We rented this BMW for four days and absolutely loved it. The car was fun to drive, looked great inside and out, and made our trip even better. We had no issues with the car at all, and the gas lasted us for almost the entire four-day rental, which was a nice bonus. The host was very friendly, responsive, and happy to answer any questions I had. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and easy. This was my first rental, so I was a little nervous, but everything went perfectly. Would definitely rent again!

Great car and very professional hosts! Pick up and return was very smooth and simple. Communication was exceptional throughout the entire trip. They went out of their way to ensure that I had a great experience for the entire trip. Would absolutely rent again if the opportunity arises.

Luis was a pleasure to rent from and his communication was amazing! The car was a real luxurious experience and he accommodated all my needs. I was very happy

Great car. Amazing host. Was a fun week with the BMW ix.

Renting this 2018 BMW convertible from Alex was an awesome experience. The car was in perfect condition: clean, luxurious, and fun to drive. The convertible top is such a fun option and would make cruising the iconic Highway 1 coast even more special if you have the chance. The car itself is the perfect mix of sporty luxury and comfortable ease. Alex was a great host, super helpful and very easy to communicate with. The pick-up spot was in a really nice, safe neighborhood, and the lockbox was brand new and simple to use, which made the whole process smooth and hassle-free. This rental is exactly why I prefer Turo over a traditional car rental—no lines, no rental counter, and I get to drive something way more special! Having this car made my trip extra memorable, and I’ve already saved it to my favorites for the next time I’m in the Bay Area. Highly recommend!

Thank you even though I had originally wanted to rent the Mercedes-Benz SUV. Your accommodations with the BMW was great and I appreciate you for helping me make my trip. Wonderful thank you once again. Have a great evening.!

My partner and I had a great experience with Rolando’s car. Not to mention Rolando had exceptional communication skills and was on top of it, made the whole experience seamless. We loved driving around in style and ease. Would definitely recommend and rent again.
