Our minivan was immaculate. Ric was great to work with and made traveling with kids so much easier. He went out of his way to help get my kids and I to the car and off as soon as possible which was so appreciated! Thank you, I look forward to renting a car through you again!

Jim was responsive and the van was just what we needed for our vacation! I was also super grateful to have the option to rent car seats so we didn’t have to bring ours on our flight. Thanks, Jim!

I would rent a car with Victor again. I was able to fit my whole family in the car, and with the twin rear captain's chairs, the adults in the group were still comfortable.

Jeff was absolutely amazing! He made pick up and drop off an absolute breeze and was very responsive! Definitely better than the hassle of a rental counter! The SUV itself was exceptionally clean and well-kept! Jeff also had a variety of chargers available for use as well. I would absolutely rent again! Thanks, Jeff! Missy Rausch

This was my first time using Turo and I am super glad that I did! These hosts are extremely responsive and so friendly. I don’t think it ever took them more than two minutes to respond to me. The car drove smoothly and it was nice to have a smaller car to get around the island with. It has great mileage and after staying here for five days, I only used half of a tank. I drove it back-and-forth to the beach several times and to the grocery store as well as Ringling museum. It drove very smooth and was super clean upon pick up. They’ve clearly taken great care of it. If you’re visiting, I would definitely recommend using a rental car because it’s just so much more convenient than calling Ubers everywhere. Also, this is a great company to rent with! They made sure I was comfortable and taken care of the entire time. If I come back, I’ll definitely rent with them again.

Sarasota boasts an array of attractions that cater to every interest. The city's crown jewel, Siesta Key Beach, is renowned for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. Art enthusiasts will be captivated by the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, while nature lovers can explore the lush Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. With a Kia rental, you'll have the freedom to discover these iconic spots and hidden gems at your own pace, ensuring a truly memorable Sarasota vacation.


Siesta Key Beach a coastal paradise

Siesta Key Beach, consistently ranked among America's best beaches, is a must-visit destination in Sarasota. Its soft, quartz-crystal sand and turquoise waters create a postcard-perfect setting for relaxation and recreation. Driving your Kia rental to Siesta Key is a breeze, with ample parking available near the beach. After soaking up the sun, take a leisurely drive along Ocean Boulevard to explore the charming Siesta Key Village, where you'll find an array of shops, restaurants, and beachside cafes.


Immerse yourself in art at The Ringling

The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art is a cultural treasure trove that showcases an impressive collection of European paintings, circus memorabilia, and stunning architecture. Your Kia rental provides convenient access to this expansive 66-acre estate, allowing you to explore the museum, Ca' d'Zan mansion, and beautifully landscaped grounds at your leisure. Don't miss the Circus Museum, which offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the "Greatest Show on Earth."


Discover natural wonders at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is a tropical oasis in the heart of Sarasota, featuring a diverse collection of plants, including rare orchids and bromeliads. As you drive your Kia rental to this bayfront paradise, you'll appreciate the ease of navigating Sarasota's streets. The gardens offer a serene escape from the bustling city, with winding paths, koi ponds, and breathtaking views of Sarasota Bay. After exploring the gardens, take a scenic drive along the nearby Bayfront Drive to enjoy stunning waterfront vistas.


Explore the vibrant St Armands Circle

St. Armands Circle, a charming island shopping and dining district, is easily accessible with your Kia rental. This European-inspired area features an eclectic mix of upscale boutiques, art galleries, and gourmet restaurants. Park your vehicle in one of the convenient lots and spend the day strolling through the circle, indulging in some retail therapy, and savoring delicious cuisine. The drive to St. Armands offers picturesque views of Sarasota Bay and the iconic Ringling Bridge.


Unwind at Lido Key Beach

Lido Key Beach, just a short drive from downtown Sarasota in your Kia rental, offers a more secluded beach experience compared to its popular neighbor, Siesta Key. This pristine stretch of coastline is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and shell collecting. After enjoying the beach, take a leisurely drive through the nearby Lido Shores neighborhood to admire its impressive collection of mid-century modern architecture. The area's wide, palm-lined streets are ideal for a relaxing cruise in your comfortable Kia.
