What a great experience! I loved this car! It was solid, great on gas, plenty of storage space, and awesome air conditioner. It is an older car, so doesn’t have backup camera, computer screen, etc., but I will definitely be renting it next time I’m in town.

This was my first time renting thru Turo. I absolutely, hands down recommend this website and this host Alan and his blue Nissan that I rented. The set up was straight forward and easy to do. Renting the car was so simple. When I wanted to extend my trip by one day, the app was so easy to message from. The additional payment was taken at time of extension approval. Yeah. I will definitely tell folks about Turo and this host Alan. What was most inconvenient was having to travel over the Calistoga Grade to get the car. Too bad nothing closer in in Lake County. about a rating out of 100....I'd say 150.
