BMW M4 2022

Fabulous car. Was great fun to cruise around Sacramento in a sporty convertible. Left me disappointed to return home to my boring sedan and SUV. Surprisingly good on fuel but the true measure is in smiles per hour. After looking at trains with my son all day it was a joy to indulge in my interests for a bit. Pickup and drop off was super convenient at the airport parking garage. Would gladly rent again.

Had an amazing experience renting the BMW M4 for 4 days. The host was excellent, very responsive, helpful, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. He gave great tips on the car and was easy to communicate with throughout the trip. Overall, a seamless and enjoyable rental.

We had a great experience working with Louis and renting his BMW M4. This was our first time using the Turo app so we were a bit skeptical. The car was super clean inside and out, and lot of fun to drive. We definitely will be using Turo again for the convenience and ease of use.
