We had a great experience renting from Adam. The car was clean and in good shape, reasonably priced (relative to rental companies) and Adam was very responsive. Five stars!
The Tesla was perfect. Really great for the high gas prices at the moment. Did about 850 miles on a trip with $55 of supercharging!
Never will I ever use a car rental agency again. Working with Ryan was effortless beginning to end. Great, clean vehicle
Great delivery and pickup service. The car was clean. I would recommend Richard for your rental needs.
Cory was a great host. The pick up and drop off were super easy. This was a great way to get around with how high gas prices are. I drove all over the valley and only used superchargers to save time - still about half of a tank of gas for me. Unreal for a week of use. Strongly recommend you rent this car from Cory; unless, of course, I am in town... as I should get to rent it first! Thanks again, Cory!
This jeep is definitely a great rental .. Good on gas even tho gas prices are Up UP rite now .. has lots of room we had 2 car seats & there was still plenty of space .. drives great & gives you buyer syndrome(aka after you return it you will want to buy a jeep) lol .. + Easy Check in 👌🏾
Ryan was instrumental in this rental process. Everything that was stated was correct and true. Great vehicle and a seem less process. Making the rental process way to easy. We will rent from Turo again. Thanks Ryan
Matt was a great and accommodating host, there was an easy pick up and drop off. The car was beautiful and the ride was amazing, thank you again Matt for helping make this weekend special! I will surely be renting again.
Michael was great with communication. Rental process was straight forward. Truly enjoyed the renting this car, it was in perfect condition!
Great experience! Needed an SUV to transition from living in a house to an RV coach. None of the rental car companies had an SUV. Thanks to John we were all good! Even extended the time needed and he was awesome. Great to work with and super nice vehicle!
Jesse’s Tesla was immaculate and ready to go. He is a great host who responds quickly to questions I had. The pick up was easily accessible just off 101. It’s a fun car to drive and my son enjoyed the toy package. If your looking to try a Tesla and beat the high gas prices,, take a look at Jesse’s cars.
Outstanding experience renting from Brian. Super easy to communicate with and made the entire rental process seamless. His Jeep Grand Cherokee is a fantastic vehicle and provided us with a tremendous amount of space for our trip. We were able to put 2 golf travel bags and 3-4 large suitcases in the trunk without a problem - which was a huge positive! I would definitely rent from Brian again the next time I’m in Scottsdale.
David was excellent! He was always prompt in responding, and punctual with his timelines. His car was fantastic for my family! I must commend him on the cleanliness of his vehicle. Honestly, I have rented cars from rental companies exotic line, and the cars were not as detailed as David’s. David’s car was spotless like it had just been driven off the showroom floor! I frequently visit the Phoenix area and I hope to rent from David on future trips! Thank you David!
This was my first time using Turo and Curtis made it so easy! After renting a car from a car rental company, we were not allowed to pick it up (my husband reserved it in his name-Ugh). We were essentially stranded. Curtis drove all the way to north Scottsdale to drop it off for us. The car was clean, full of gas, and had every extra you can think of. It was so much better than waiting in the long car rental lane!
Skylar was incredible from start to finish. He responded quickly and made the entire experience memorable. I highly recommend renting from him. I plan to use him again on my next trip to Scottsdale
Beautiful car, just as described. Pick up and drop off we’re very easy as well. This made our trip to the Scottsdale area and would recommend for anyone!
Great car. Cory was the best. He made sure our trip was smooth. He responded quickly to our messages and also provided helpful tips. Would definitely rent again.
Easy to work with .. excellent communication.. will never use another car rental company again.... these guys are the best
Elsie was super awesome. Easy to reach and friendly. Drop off and pick up was a breeze and car was in fantastic shape. Great sound system. Perfect rental for a trip to AZ. Highly recommend.
Jesse was a good Turo host, he was a quick responder and was reasonable with what we wanted out of our Turo reservation. There was a crack on the windshield that we weren’t made aware of, until it grew. Jesse informed us on our options and we then continued to have a smooth reservation. The Tesla itself, although didn’t give us any problems, was not suitable for 6 people and our bags. The A/C hardly reached the back of the car & charging the car was every hour and a half. Nonetheless, I would book with Jesse again!
Jeep rental was great. Krikor was easy to communicate with and pickup/drop off was simple and straightforward. Would recommend if you’re in the Phoenix area.
Amazing! Best Turo experience. Great car and great communication. Would definitely rent from again!!
Cory has an impressive fleet of cars. This was a beyond easy way to rent a vehicle. He was very detailed in all aspects of the trip including pickup, charge points and drop off. Such a great experience. I highly recommend him.
Vehicle was clean and runs good host is very helpful and easy to deal with I will rent this vehicle again thank you Allen
Dakotas SUV was great!!! Zero issues. Very easy pickup and drop off. We will definitely rent this vehicle again.
Awesome car and even better host! The Tesla was perfect and performed as expected. Kiara was a very thoughtful host and provided great communication with fast response times. If I was ever in Phoenix again, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to rent from Kiara again! This has been not only my best Turo experience, but also my best experience renting any car. Period. Highly recommend.
First time ever using this site and it went great. The process renting Gareth's suv was simple, fast and all around perfect. Gareth was awesome to work with. And to everyone else . . .ha I was the first to drive the new Navigator. :)
It was phenomenal, couldn’t have asked for a better trip and host. Very communicative and helpful. Much appreciated, will definitely look to rent again!
Awesome car. First Tesla experience -Very fast, great handling, zero wind noise on the road, super comfortable seats and has a great sound system. Pretty much checks all the boxes. Cory was very accommodating, he made our trip smooth and easy. Would rent any car he has to offer. 10/10
Absolutely amazing. Responsive, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable. One of the smoothest rentals I’ve ever had!
First time user of Turo, great experience! Host Ryan was helpful and responsive. The ride was great for our visit to Scottsdale and the Grand Canyon.
Brennan was an amazing host with excellent communication and had a very clean car. He was very flexible with times and made sure everything went smoothly with the rental process. Not one complaint on my end and would definitely check to rent from him first when coming back to Phoenix.
The suburban was great for our family of 7! Plenty of room for us all and our camping gear. Thanks Robby!
Pam was a fantastic host and nice to speak. Car was delivered on time and picked up on time. Car is in perfect condition and my whole family liked the ride. We loved the car and will definitely pick the same option Again and again.
Absolute pleasure to drive! Loved the sound system and comfort. You will enjoy renting this vehicle.
Stephen was on point, from immediately responding to the reservation and answering messages. I even had to extend my trip and he was able to do so! Great experience and a great car!
Great SUV with tons of room. Super clean and very nice ride. I’ll be using again when i come back to town.
Awesome host. Very communicative, accommodating and flexible. The Atlas was beautiful and comfortable. Thank you for making our trip smooth and special.
Great car to drive. Very clean and Jesse is a great host. Good communication, instructions and hassle free process to rent the car. Definitely recommend.
Ismail's vehicle was perfect for a short getaway with the family. Had plenty of room and great gas mileage (was no slouch in the power department either)
Nicole is so helpful and understanding!! I loved renting with her, and the car was amazing. Thank you so much!
Chad is awesome. His Tesla was awesome. Photo inspection done for me before i even picked it up, saving me time. Vehicle was immaculate, and fully charged. Communication was crystal-clear. Honestly, couldn’t ask for more. I would definitely rent again. :)
Excellent from start to finish. Michael was extremely easy to communicate with and the car was excellent. Made our trip that much better.
Jessica & Brian are great hosts! They’re very friendly people, accommodating & willing to help and give guidance…. Vehicle was very clean & cozy..We enjoyed our trip a lot in a nice, reliable, enjoyable Lexus. Thanks Brian & Jessica 👊🏻
Andres was a wonderful host. Our situation was an emergency and he handled it efficiently. He was extremely accommodating and such a kind hearted soul. He made the trip easy and cleared up any confusions that occurred. Would love to book with Andres again!
This Jeep was a fantastic rental for our family trip. Sergio was great to work with! We will definitely be renting again!

A longer drive, but one that’s fun and scenic, is the road to Bartlett Lake. Rolling hills, bright wildflowers, and grand mountain views all await on this winding path through the beautiful desert. You can stop at plenty of scenic overlooks and road-side restaurants along the way.
