Recent reviews
I had an excellent experience renting through Turo. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was professional, responsive, and made both pickup and drop-off simple and convenient. The entire process was smooth from start to finish, and the car drove perfectly throughout my trip. I appreciated the clear communication and attention to detail, which made the rental stress-free. I would definitely rent from this host again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable rental experience.
The drop off/pick up service is awesome. There was no need to pay for a car service in order to pickup/drop off the Turo rental. Car arrived on time. I was able to extend the duration of my trip. Car drove well. It is comfortable. It was surprisingly pretty good on gas as well. I would recommend this host.
10/10 great service and great people. Car super reliable and runs great had no issues. Car is amazing on gas and steering felt great if you want a solid rental for your money this is definitely the car to rent. Thank you so much had a great time
If u traveling, this is a great pick. This is the the first car I rented that came with some thought for the customer. The last couple times I hit like 6 to 8 tolls heading there and back all together at 4.50 a piece on my trip. And I think it adds an hour to avoid tolls. If only you could see the smile after confusion on my face as they told me ( your good have nice day) when I noticed an ezpass on the windshield that moved this host to top of my list. This the first rental to help me save money. I will definitely be using again. This guy is a great and smart host. Thank you
everything about this rental was perfect. great location/neighborhood and suri was the best host! he was so sweet and even offered me water/snacks when i picked it up because he knew i was going on a long trip. this was my first experience renting with turo and i can promise you i’ll be exclusively coming to suri from here on out. he was so nice and easy to talk to and i really enjoyed knowing i had a reliable ride and a host that truly cares. i can’t say enough good things about him!

2nd trip with this host. Enough vehicles to have solutions to any problems. Great gas mileage and very well maintained. Incredible hosts that are always responsive. Having a very easy and convenient pick up and drop off also means that I'll rent from them again.
Car drives very good and smooth. Also was clean. No complaints would recommend renting from this host and hope I can rent from him again.

Sury is a great host and the vehicle is always ready and clean when I rent it.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Nestled between the popular cities of Cleveland and Akron, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park feels like another world. At over 51.2 sq. mi in size, it is the state's only national park and commands close to three million visitors each year. Waterfalls, caves, rocky outcrops, and forests make up the natural landscape at Cuyahoga, and it's all yours to explore.

Top tips for renting a car in Ohio
To ensure your time traversing Ohio is a total breeze, consider these top tips for navigating an Ohio car rental on Turo.
What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Ohio?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo.

What are the road rules and driving conditions in Ohio?
In all US states, you must drive on the right-hand side of the road and adhere to state road rules, including mandatory seat belts, speed limits, and road signs. In Ohio, children must be placed in a booster or safety seat, depending on their age.
The state enforces specific speed limits that range from 70 miles per hour (mph) on interstate highways to 25 mph in residential areas. Be aware that in school zones, it can drop to 20 mph when children are present, so always obey posted speed limit signs, as they may vary based on local regulations and road conditions.
The state also enforces a "Move Over" law, which mandates that when approaching stationary vehicles with flashing lights, you must change lanes away from the vehicle if possible or slow down if changing lanes is unsafe.
If you're driving through Ohio in winter, be aware of road hazards like ice and snow. Always take it slow and avoid driving entirely during severe weather events.

There's just one toll road in Ohio — the Ohio Turnpike. It runs through Interstates 76, 80, and 90 so be prepared if you plan on using these routes.
