Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2021

Joshua was absolutely INCREDIBLE and accommodating. When we got there he had the car was running and it was freshly washed. There was a phone charger in the car that we used all trip. The car was full when I got it I drove the car for about 5 hours total. It only cost 21.50 to fill it back up. I can literally go on and on about his customer service, but I will some things for you to experience on your own. This is my first experience with Turo. I feel like the experience with Joshua will be really hard to top. Being from California we were pleasantly surprised on how kind people were in Oregon. However, Joshua was the first person we met when we got there and he was the best person we met there. I will only use Joshua when we go back again.
