Amazing experience! We rented Will’s Tesla for our family trip to Boston with my wife and two kids, and we had a great time. The car was clean, comfortable, and perfect for getting around. Will was extremely helpful, friendly, and always responded quickly whenever I had a question. Made the whole rental process super easy. Would definitely rent from him again!
Car and host were excellent. Host was responsive and car was as advertised. No issues with either. I do have an issue with the Turo business model. The advertised price for the car was very enticing but after all of the add-ons when checking out it was close to the same amount for a regular rental car. I also found out my insurance company would not cover peer-to-peer rentals, forcing me to purchase Turo insurance. Not happy with all of the add-ons. Would much prefer total price transparency! Again...no issue at all with the host or the car.
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!
Pick up was great. Another host had cancelled our reservation while we were on our flight. This host was able to accommodate us on a short notice. The car is older, but in good repair and was perfect for our trip. Because it's older it doesn't have a USB port to plug in your phone to charge, so just be aware that you may want an adapter to use the cigarette lighter power port. Otherwise, great economical car!
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.
Ray was a fantastic host, super communicative and his car was perfect for our trip. It was very fuel efficient and comfortable for our weeklong rental, we would absolutely rent from Ray again!
James was super easy to deal with and a true Porsche enthusiast. the car was in great shape and we really enjoyed our trip. Thank you so much. We will definitely rent from James again.
I’m giving it 5 stars for goat communication and the price ease of pick up and distance from airport. The car was also quite clean! However, the car did not smell very pleasant and made some strange noises but I really can’t complain considering the price and so forth. I do recommend.
We had a great experience with our rental car during our trip to Boston! The car was very clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for our trip. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and communication was easy and helpful. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time and had no issues at all. I would definitely rent again and highly recommend! Thank you for helping make our Boston trip such a great experience!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
I had a fantastic experience renting from Pu. From the very beginning, she was prompt, professional, and extremely helpful. Communication was clear and fast, and she made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free.What really stood out was her understanding and flexibility. I requested a bit more time for my return, and she kindly granted me an additional two-hour window without hesitation. That level of customer care is rare and truly appreciated.The Prius I rented was in excellent condition very clean, well maintained, and ready to go. It drove perfectly smooth, and the fuel efficiency was impressive, making it an ideal choice for both city and highway driving. You can tell she takes great care of her vehicles. Overall, I highly recommend Pu to anyone using the Turo app. She is reliable, respectful, and goes above and beyond to make sure her guests have a positive experience. I would definitely rent from her again without hesitation.
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
The rental process was the easiest I ever experienced. Convenient location along with well explained details for the pick up of the vehicle. The car itself was good overall condition, clean and well maintained. The return instructions were equally well written. If you ever find yourself in Back Bay needing to rent a vehicle for a short getaway, this is the ideal car/person to rent it from.
Great host! He responds to your messages quickly, checks in during your trip to make sure everything going good or if you need to extend your trip. Very reliable car I would definitely rent again!
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.
