Very convenient pickup and and drop off. Good price for a last minute car rental and no problems driving but the car was a bit old. Host was extremely responsive, would definitely rent again!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience renting this car! The car was amazing—it drove so smoothly, and I didn’t have any problems at all during my trip. It was also AMAZING on gas, which was definitely a plus! The car was extremely clean and looked and felt brand new. You can tell it’s very well taken care of. Communication with John was also great. He was professional, responsive, and made the whole rental process easy and stress-free. I would definitely rent this car again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, reliable, and smooth ride. Thank you, John!
Great car great rental process. I will look for this car for my next trip for sure 👍
The instructions 24 hours before the reservation was to start were clear and once we arrived at Boston Logan, finding the car was really easy and straightforward. The car itself was clean and drove great. The owner was very responsive and great to interact with. Would definitely rent their car again!
Sushil’s car was exceptional! it’s very clean, easy to drive and great on gas. he was very responsive and friendly. highly recommend to rent a car with him!
I’m not the type that says much but I must admit this is probably the best car rental service I’ve seen. Location was perfect, the car is brand new
We had a great trip using Leena's car! It was clean, got great gas mileage, and was very spacious for such a compact sedan - we were easily able to fit our large checked bag and two carry-ons in the trunk. When we had questions (like when we accidentally activated the kill switch), she replied to our communication quickly & efficiently. The nav system worked great with our phones (we were nervous about this after our last experience with one of the big rental companies). 10/10 would recommend and would rent from again!
FSD was great, and pickup/drop off was easy! This is the best rental available in Boston, will definitely look to rent this car again.
The car was in excellent condition. There were no problems with the rental. Communication was excellent throughout the trip. I would definitely rent from him again
Here’s a polished 5-star review you can post on Turo: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an excellent experience renting the 2019 Chevrolet Impala from Ukray, LLC. The car was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. It drove smoothly, was very reliable, and made my trip enjoyable from start to finish. The host was professional, responsive, and made both pickup and drop-off quick and hassle-free. Communication was outstanding throughout the rental process. I would definitely rent from Ukray, LLC again and highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a dependable, comfortable ride. Thank you for a great Turo experience! Thanks 🙏
Daniel was great! He worked with us and our fluctuating flight schedules to handle the pickup and drop off. The car drove great, fit our two big suitcases and helped us avoid high gas prices all week!
This host was super helpful and so so easy to use. I had to come to New England for a family emergency very last minute and the only rental I could find was this one and it was such a blessing. I didn’t have any issues and the whole reservation was very straightforward. I highly recommend this host
I’m giving Terry a 5 star rating for his communication and support with the refund process. The car’s exterior is in good condition. However, the pictures of the car posted, are not images of the car you are renting. The interior looked like it had not been deep cleaned in a few years. There was years of build up in the console. There were stains on the passenger seat and driver seat. Additionally, the car was covered in dog hair and smelled as such. I had to cancel the reservation after discovering the car’s condition. While I understand the listing is at a reasonable price, the car’s condition clearly does not meet Toro’s rental community standards. For that reason, I was immediately refunded for the trip.
A rental! First of all, the best smelling car I’ve ever rented from anywhere! It was so clean, and it drives great. Karolline was a wonderful host. Very responsive, clear and easy instructions for pickup and drop off, and she patiently answered my many questions when my flight was delayed for 15(!!!) hours. I highly recommend this rental!
Repeat customer, simple pickup, car was in amazing condition. I will rent again from Abraham next time I’m in Boston. You can tell his customers treat the cars like their own - tires in great condition, interior immaculate
Top tips for renting a car in Somerville
A few things to know before you drive in and around Somerville.
Road rules
Massachusetts requires all occupants to wear seat belts. Right turns on red are permitted unless posted otherwise. Keep your headlights on whenever your wipers are in use.
Parking
Davis Square and Union Square both have metered street parking, though spots fill quickly during peak hours. Some residential streets require permits, so check the signage before leaving your car. Off-street lots and garages offer alternatives when meters are full.
Toll roads
Some highways in the Boston area use electronic tolls. Keep this in mind when planning routes, and check your specific trip details for what applies.
Gas and EV charging
Gas stations are easy to find along major routes and in Somerville's commercial squares. EV charging stations are available throughout the area, with more options in Cambridge and Boston.
Do you need a car
Somerville's squares are walkable, and the T connects you to Boston and Cambridge. But for day trips, errands beyond the transit map, or exploring on your own schedule, a car opens up options that public transit can't match.
Car types
Compact cars handle Somerville's tight parking well. If you need extra space, comfort, or winter capability, an SUV gives you room for passengers, luggage, and confidence in variable conditions.
Cost
Pricing on Turo is transparent — you see the per-day and total trip cost upfront. Weekly and monthly rentals often come with discounts, so longer trips can be more affordable than you'd expect.
