John was wonderful! He was very accommodating with my schedule. He left wipes in the car for me to wipe down with. So nice and friendly. If I’m ever in St. Louis again I will definitely be renting from him.
Was very helpful and professional, will def book again when I come to St. Louis.
Great service from Clayton and his family. If I return to St. Louis area, I will contact Clayton again.
Raheek’s rental was absolutely amazing! It was my first time flying into St. Louis and he made sure everything was quick and easy. He had great communication the entire time and finding the car in the busy airport was a breeze. The car was very clean and definitely fun to drive while visiting. Highly recommended!!!
Luka was very accommodating and very transparent and communicative about how to pick up and drop off the Passat. This car is among the most fun to drive I've ever gotten through Turo. We'll be hitting him up again the next time we're in St. Louis.
If you’re in or are going to be in St. Louis, you can’t go wrong renting a car from Luke! The car is awesome and he makes the whole process a breeze, leaving you to just get your work done or have fun! Thanks so much for the overall awesome experience, Luke! You made our trip a blast. : )
Jennifer was great! Her Model 3 was fantastic and I would definitely rent from her again next time I’m in St. Louis. It was easy to find the car, which was extremely clean and fully charged when I picked it up. Jennifer was responsive and helpful whenever I reached out.
Fantastic experience. The car was all expected plus some. The owner, John and his father, Chuck, were friendly, easy to work with, and knowledgeable of the area. They both had great tips of things to do. No question anymore about where to get a rental when in St. Louis. Thanks so much guys!! Also, I left my glasses in the car when I was departing. Chuck responded and sent them to me immediately. Anywhere else I would have been out of luck.
Jordan was very generous and responded within a timely manner when i had changes to my trip. The car was very spacious and good on gas and very clean and neat. I Will definitely rent with him again if possible!
Absolutely beautiful and immaculately maintained car. Took it on a long drive to Ohio and back and treated me extremely well. Handoff and return were both easy, simple and well coordinated. Raheek is great at communicating as well which of course made this so much easier. Definitely worth renting this car from him any time you need.
Mr Jordan is an awesome host. His cars are in excellent condition and waiting for the road.
The car was absolutely amazing! John and his father Chuck are super nice! Will be renting again for sure!
FAST, SEXY & FUN IT WAS! We enjoyed this car very much! The car was clean and smelled good. Phoenikx was also very nice and easy to deal with. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. I would definitely book this car again. Thank you Turo & Thank you Pheonikx!
Jonathan is very respectful and professional the car was extremely clean upon arrival and this car is very amazing to drive. I appreciate the opportunity and host as well as I cannot wait to book a trip in the near future. If you’re interested don’t miss out on a great opportunity and experience!
Was in the area visiting family, and took the opportunity to rent a Tesla for the day. The pick-up and drop-off with Chuck was professional, and the information he shared was helpful. Car was clean and a pleasure to drive. Highly recommended.
TURO has replaced the rental counter for me for the good experiences I’ve had. Working with Obi was an experience above the rest. Communication was prompt and courteous from the first contact all the way to the end when I dropped the car off. Punctuality-even though I changed times for return Obi was flexible and accommodating while meeting me on time! Convenience-what could be more convenient than curbside delivery making pickup and return an absolutely seamless experience. Now the car- this Audi S4 trim is a head turner for sure. The car is silver and was showroom clean at the time of delivery. Overall, I would give Obi 10 STARS for an absolutely phenomenal experience. I’ll be in St Louis again and will definitely look to repeat!
This was my first time driving a plug-in hybrid vehicle and renting the Volt from Jon was a pleasant experience! His clean car has a fun, smooth ride to enjoy while navigating the city. Also, I appreciated Jon’s reminders and rental instructions. Thanks again Jon for the EV intro and I look forward to the next trip!🙌
John is always available to answer any questions you have and he’s really knowledgeable about Teslas so good luck asking a question he won’t know the answer to. The car is really clean and runs like a beaut. You won’t regret this decision.
Great host, nice car and smooth trip! After my first rental became unavailable two hours before I needed to leave town. I had to shift the days around and leave town the next day. I was able to book this rental with ease and Help from support at the very last minute.
Excellent Trip! It was a great experience from being to end. Jordan was an awesome host. Thanks so much!!
John met me at the curb at the airport coming and going. Easy easy...the car is in great shape...great gas mileage...This was my first Turo experience. Great experience...
Host was awesome! He was able to accommodate my trip even though I booked it less than 24 hours in advance! The car was spotless! My wife and I used it as a getaway car for our wedding and it was a huge hit! Not only was I able to rent a super car for my wedding day but it was the easiest car rental experience I’ve had!
As a beginner driver, Jim's Jetta was really easy to maneuver and to drive around. Jim is a cool guy, would recommend him to anyone looking for car rental.
Very clean and smooth to ride during winter and clear conditions. Definitely would recommend.
The owner gave us a fantastic car! I really enjoyed the capability that it possessed. The rental was super easy, the transition of the car from pick up , to drop off was definitely worth it. I highly recommend this person, and will definitely use again!
Very professional person was willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was Accommodated
I really enjoyed this vehicle. Cute, super clean, great on gas. I want to go home and buy one for myself! Great communication and prompt response to all messages. Extremely flexible with changing pick up times. Stellar customer service!
Wonderful hosts, was able to deliver with no problem even with more than 20 miles off.. I thank you
Thanks to Mr. Josh, highly recommend to anyone in a pinch that doesnt have Enterprise rent a car money on deck. Just make sure to have your ducks in a row far as valid DL, etc, common sense. Thanks again.
Working with Scott was simple and easy. He had an amazing vehicle and all around was my best rental car use. Definitely recommend and will use again my next trip.
Jordan Smith AKA J Smooth was the best Turo trip/host I’ve had. He was kind, calm, patient, attentive and very helpful. I’m a traveling known roller skater that was in need of transportation at the time and Jordan assisted me in making sure I could get to my events whether close or far. He made sure the car had oil changes, tune ups and whatever other maintenance required to make the car run good and make me feel as comfortable as possible. Also Jordan is amazing when it comes to communication. There was NEVER a time where I felt like I couldn’t get to him. It was because of him that I was able to get to these different skating events and I ended up going viral on SportsCenter and TheShadeRoom. Thank you Jordan! You’re a good person/father/husband/businessman and to me.... a good friend 🔥✊🏾💯 Anyone that has anything bad about this host is NUTS 🥜
John was very friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable about his car. Due to a sudden change of plans with a previous rental, we booked his car last minute for our 2-week road trip. The car was perfect for our trip. We ran into a few small bumps along the way, and John was very quick to help out when we needed it. If you're looking for just a spin around town or a longer trip, I definitely recommend renting from John.
Najah was amazing! The car made my son's homecoming for Christmas from the Air force even more special. Great person to rent from and great car!!!!!!!!!
This car is very nice the riding is smooth , and it gets up I took this car out of town and it’s was the best experience!!! Good on gas , and it is roomy for a little car I definitely would recommend it’s worth it.
He was great with communication and his car was sanitized and clean.Every Time I’m Visiting STL I will definitely rent with Figerald. Thank You Again For Everything
Pictures don’t do the car justice. Smooth ride! Don’t even hear the engine. Spotless vehicle. Host sanitized everything! He was also extremely accommodating, professional && so nice! Will definitely rent from Jon again! Car was amazing!
Jennifer was amazing. Explained every detail about the car! Drop off and pick up we’re very easy and convenient. 10/10 would rent again!
Amazing car spotless clean it has luxury and the speed the handling on the curvy country roads is just great this was my first time renting a car from turo the host made it easy simple and fast i will renting more cars from jun
Hands down the best service. If he had two cars I would rent it too. Enjoy the car, host and location. Guys don’t pass up the opportunity.
I rented John's 2018 Tesla Model 3 for four days in hopes of experiencing what it's like to own an all-electric vehicle before I make the decision to purchase one of my own. I am so very glad I made the decision to do so. The first thing you notice obviously is the exterior. Beginning with the front end, you get a Corvette/Aston Martin vibe. But as you work your way to the back, you realize this vehicle is also practical and has a subtlety about it. This is the car version of a mullet haircut, only in reverse. You open the door and sit inside. This is where the real magic happens. The elegant simplicity is truly something to behold. So subtle, so sophisticated. Essentially there just a steering wheel and a gigantic touchscreen. The touchscreen is gorgeous and is very much the brains of the operation. Once John gives you the breakdown on what's what, how this works, and all the what you can do's, you finally leave with the car and head on your way. As you drive away, you can't help but think about that front end. The Aston Martin/Corvette vibe you got doesn't at all match the rest of the car's subtle nature. After you have driven the car for 5 minutes, it dawns on you that you are just driving a car, not an alien spacecraft. You remember the things you've read and heard about these Tesla's and so you plant your foot down on the accelerator. Instantaneously you are pinned back in your seat as the car shoots off like a rocket in the most perfect straight line as if it were on rails. This may actually be the closest thing to an alien spacecraft we humans will ever experience. The acceleration is unreal, exhilarating and effortless. Now the front end makes sense. I would describe this car as an iPhone on wheels. The technology and acceleration of a Tesla is unmatched. There is nothing else like it, except another Tesla. I am truly impressed and must have one now. John provided me this experience at the cheapest rate around. He was flexible with pickup and drop off times, even meeting me in a place more convenient for my schedule. Our communication was fantastic, all my texts and calls were answered within just a few minutes. I absolutely 100% put my stamp of approval on John and his Tesla and highly recommend booking with him. If for nothing else, just to have fun with an amazing automobile for a day or 2.
5 star ride. Very smooth communication. Great car. Matt and Caroline was very friendly.
I got this car for my husband’s 40th birthday and it was a big hit! So much fun to drive around town (even in the cold weather). Bryan was great to work with as I had to change my drop off and pickup locations last minute and he made it super easy. Thanks for a great 24 hours!
John and Chuck were fabulous to work with. Very responsive and eager to accommodate. Would definitely recommend this car and these hosts :)
Jen was friendly and provided detail info on how to operate the car..The car was Awesome thanks again
Very nice and polite. If I wouldn't be moving away from STL for good I'd without question rent again.
Jennifer is so communicative and awesome, probably one of the best hosts I’ve had.
Amazing vehicle and Seth is wonderful to rent from. The rumble and popcorn are a delight! With no launch control, this is a "driver's car" in every way. Having driven both Bernice(Mercedes) and Stella(Tesla), Stella is everyday luxury. Bernice is in your face, turning heads everywhere you go. Looking forward to renting again from Seth!
Najah was great! I scheduled the trip as a surprise for my dad’s birthday/Christmas and the car did not disappoint. Handled like a dream. I would absolutely rent from Najah again.
Couldn’t have been better. Richard was super accommodating with the flight delays. He was there when i walked out from Baggage Claim. Car was perfect. First Turo rental. If this is Turo, i’ll never do anything else.
This was the most fun I've had since Covid started. Mike was very nice and very easy to get into contact. He explained the vehicle and how to drive it before giving me the keys. I would recommend Mike's car anyday!
Great host, 10/10 service. Car is super clean and is surprisingly quite spacious inside.
Fantastic Car! I really enjoyed driving it. Sporty look and feel. Comfortable with good gas mileage too. Jon is an awesome host;)
Weston’s Jag was fantastic. Great pick up and drop off location as well as a gorgeous ride for a fun weekend visiting my family. Weston’s communication setting up the pick up and drop off as well as the cleanliness of the car was at the highest level. Highly recommend Weston for all your Turo needs.
I had a blast driving this camaro. Phoenikx was a great host, very laid back. Pick up and drop off was easy. Would rent again.
Excellent car, excellent host. Very clean vehicle and super communicative. Five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Would certainly rent from Joshua, again. Car was a great deal and pick up / drop off was made super easy.
Everything was great. Second time renting from Drew , very communicative & his flexibility is amazing! Rental day fell on the day of a snow storm and I’m happy to report the car did impressively well on the tricky roads!
This experience was better than expected. The car spoke for itself and the owner was genuine and had great communication during the rental process and even after. Very informative & provided instructions beforehand on how to properly handle the car. I will definitely be renting again!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This was by far thee best rental option for me now and in the future 🙌 Seth was on top of everything, a huge help with responding quickly as possible. Easy pickup and drop off. Appreciate you again.
Jordan went out of his way to rent me a vehicle. I have used his services before so not the first. I will continue to rent from Jordan on my future trips to the area.
Fantastic host and awesome car! Jennifer went above expectations to accommodate for my weekend trip. This was my first time driving a Tesla and it was a great experience. Car is immaculate. My next car will be a Tesla
My host was fabulous very courteous and accomodating. I would highly recommend choosing him. The car is very nice and smooth and he is very flexible with making your trip be the absolute best. I couldn't be happier with my trip.
Great car, host has great communication which made my trip easier. Overall I will rent again
Amazing vehicle. Much more than a car, this was an experience. Looking forward to renting this or another luxury vehicle from Seth again. Thank you!
