Needed to rent to get to work while my truck was in the shop. This is a clean, good running car, with a great price for rental. Host was quick to respond and give good instructions. Pick up and drop off was super easy. Would definitely rent again in the future.

Kevin was a responsive and lovely host. We had to book his car last minute due to a car rental issue at the airport and everything was seamless. The car is clean, handles great, and was perfect for wine country. Highly recommend!

The price was great. The gas mileage is great. Didn't have any issues. Overall it was a great rental!!

Great car. Easy instructions. And the navigation was perfect for this trip. Thank you for allowing me to rent it.


Exc ellent service pick up and drop went smoother than any highly advertised car rental agency. Thanks so much yofen.
This is the nicest car I’ve ever driven. Pickup and drop off was as easy as it could be. Highly recommended. I can’t wait to rent it again

I think the Host was great but I had a little confusion with picking up the car because I'm used to picking up turo rentals from someone's house or apartment, not from an actual car lot where you would buy a car. It made me think I was going to a rental agency instead of an individual. I do love the low mileage on this car but I'm actually legitimately shocked of the fuel economy with this car. It is not very good. I had to buy gas for it at least three times during this time which granted I rented it for a while but I think with most other cars I wouldn't have needed to buy gas that frequently. It's a nice car and the host is good, I just wish it wouldn't take only 300 to 350 MI to run out of gas compared to how a lot of more recent cars can take 500 miles to do so. But maybe this is normal and I just kind of stopped being used to it because the previous car I rented before this was a Prius and obviously those are more fuel efficient and before having to rent cars again I was driving a fully electric vehicle that went far fewer miles anyway
Great car, very smooth ride, clean, and good on gas. The host was excellent with me, giving me some flexibility in picking up and dropping off. Will definitely rent from him again. A very good experience.
Loved everything about this experience. Andrew was amazing and helped me extend my booking and was always responsive to any questions I had. The car was fantastic and there were no problems for the whole almost month I drove it. Highly recommend and will book again on my next trip back to Sonoma.
Clean well-maintained convenient car. Yafen makes it an easy process



The car was easy to locate during pick up. It was super clean and smells good. It ran without any problems. Thanks again for the great ride!

Lose yourself in the lush vineyards and old charm of Santa Rosa and its surrounding countryside by brushing up on the Californian road rules. Keeping these handy tips in mind will make it safe and stress-free to dive right into your adventure.
The state of California is very strict on following speed limits, so it's important to watch your speed and adhere to local traffic signage. In residential and business districts, the speed limit is 25mph, while there is a 55mph maximum speed limit on undivided roadways.
California, like all states, enforces an eyes-on-the-road law, which means you can only use your phone hands-free while driving. Carpool lanes are super convenient for skipping the traffic, but fines can be hefty if you don't have the required amount of passengers when using these left lanes.
Santa Rosa has a Mediterranean climate, so expect hot summers with mild winters. This county is known for its warm days and cool nights, which means driving to the conditions is easy here, with no need to worry about snow or icy roads.
Santa Rosa has a variety of city-owned garages where you can park your rental car.. Whether you're exploring the Charles M. Schulz Museum, or wandering Historic Railroad Square, it's easy and convenient to find a park. There is free parking in city garages every weekend from Thanksgiving till New Year's Day, so if you're visiting for the holidays, you're in luck.
You can find a parking garage for all of your downtown exploring located on 7th, 5th and 3rd street. Parking is free after 6 pm and on Sundays, and it's also seamless to find a park in neighborhood locations.
No, there are no toll roads in Santa Rosa! You can keep adventuring through the winding vineyards of the county without worrying about tolls.
If you're on your way to San Francisco, there are ample gas stations for you to fuel up at on Corby Ave like Costco Gas Station, Stop N Go Gas, and Shell. If you're exploring downtown or the Historic Railroad Square, you can find stations on Highway 12, like Shell, Roseland Gas Mart, and Chevron Santa Rosa.
If you're renting an electric vehicle, Santa Rosa has more than enough EV chargers for you to keep your trip going. There are various choices in Downtown Santa Rosa, like ChargePoint, Electrify America, and SemaConnect. If you're on Santa Rosa Ave or Petaluma Hill Road, there are lots in the Southwest Santa Rosa area, like Blink Charging Station, ChargePoint, and ChargeNet.
Yes, you should definitely rent a car in Santa Rosa! Downtown has a plethora of options for you to explore, like Luther Burbank Home and Gardens or the Old Courthouse Square. However, locations like Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park and Santa Rosa Memorial Park are a little further away. If you want to explore parks, continue north to the Wine Country or even San Francisco, having a rental car is the best option. Whether it's an SUV rental or something small to get you around, you'll find the best car on Turo.
