Best experience I’ve had with the TURO car rental process. Communication was 5 star. Paul is a true professional. I had no problems with the car throughout the week. I was confident that if anything went wrong, he would be available with a list of trouble shooting instructions. Great price, great car, great communication.

I had a great experience renting this Tesla. Before I even landed in San Antonio, the owner called and left messages to let me know there was a nail in one of the tires and that he was already getting it repaired. I really appreciated his proactive communication and attention to safety. Pickup was incredibly easy—he met me right outside the airport, and the car was spotless, well-maintained, and very easy to drive. I thoroughly enjoyed driving it during my trip. The return process was just as smooth. He coordinated with me on the drop-off time, and all I had to do was pull up to the departures area at the airport. The entire experience was convenient, stress-free, and professional. I would absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free rental experience.

This was our first time using the Turo app and we were hesitant, but working with Abe made this the easiest and smoothest process. It felt like we were driving a brand new car right off the lot with how clean it was! This was also our first time driving a Tesla which we were so excited to rent and drive off in for our grand “just married” exit and Abe was available 24/7 in case we had any questions at all! 10/10 will be renting with Abe again!!

It was easy to pickup super nice host. Wanted to try a Tesla on vacation to see if I liked it. It does not have full self driving which is mostly what I wanted to try but that’s not his fault there not really a way to note if it does or not. Good car very responsive and helpful host for a good price.
