This was the best car rental I ever had. Owner was very responsive and answered every question I had. This is the person you want to rent a car from. Thank you for making my vacation great!
It was a first time experience renting on TURO. We couldn’t be happier with our experience! The car was absolutely spotless, exceptionally well-maintained, and in excellent condition. Everything was perfect from start to finish, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. It’s clear that great care and attention to detail go into providing such a high-quality service. Having a clean, comfortable, and reliable car made our trip in Boston so much more enjoyable. We are extremely satisfied and would absolutely rent from this host again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, reasonable prices, and top-quality car rental experience in Boston! Five stars all the way!
My wife and I were celebrating our 18th anniversary. We rented Danielles Mercedes and took a trip to New York City. The car was beautiful clean and ran excellent. When I picked up the car there were 2 cold water bottles, a handfull of mints and hand written note thanking us and giving well wishes for our trip. This was my first time using Turo to rent a car and its now the only way i will rent from now on.
I had an amazing experience renting this car! The host was incredible, very nice, helpful, and made everything so easy for me. She was great with communication and made sure everything went smoothly. The car was great, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I really appreciate her kindness and how accommodating she was. I would definitely rent from her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a car rental. Thank you for everything!
The car seems well-maintained, ran very well, and was reliable. The price was great! Would absolutely rent again.
My trip worked out perfect with some change of plans on my flight. De-Sean was more than accommodating. Instructions were clear, communication was great, car was waiting for me ready to roll everything worked, car was clean, mechanically sound , price was right, drop off was smooth. Definitely will book with De-Sean when we come back. Thanks again.
10/10. Seamless. Landed terminal E so it was very quick to economy parking. On the return to E a bit longer so keep that in mind. I only rent Tesla’s with FSD. This was perfect and sentient. That’s an important word given tunnels, chaotic turns and driving around town. As stress free as it gets and it was nominally more expensive than the standard rental companies. Last time with those companies the wait was 1.5 hrs in line. Only improvement feedback is to adjust the standard setting to go at least the speed limit on the main highways. It was stuck 5-10 mph below the posted speed limit and I got honked at a few times. Despite having two teslas I dont know how to adjust that setting but I could have taken some time to figure it out.
Car was great and super comfortable and easy to drive for a reasonable price!
Easy reservation, easy pick up, great car for running around the entire area. So easy to drive and parallel park. This was our first Turo use but it won’t be our last. Thanks Phillip, your quick responses made this process easy. I’m
Car was exactly what we needed. Two adults and a baby in a click in car carrier with a stroller in the back and we had plenty of room. Gas mileage was great as we drove 175 miles and only had to add 4 gallons of gas to return. Daniel was flexible even though our drop off time was right next to TD garden on Celtic/Knicks game night. Communicated with us the day before to start our reservation a little later than we had planned, but we appreciated the heads up a day in advance. Car has normal ware and tear for a 17yo car (driver seat was torn across seat seam).
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
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!
Everything about the Type R, the host, the communication, etc was 10 out of 10! No complaints at all. Would rent from this host again in a heartbeat.
Car was exactly as pictured. Very clean and conveniently already had a type c charging cable. The phone holder came in handy as well.
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
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.
