Mazda CX-50 2023

Absolutely outstanding experience. Renting Olu’s Mazda CX‑50 was hands‑down the best Turo booking I’ve ever made. The car was immaculately clean, smooth, powerful, and incredibly comfortable — it felt like driving a brand‑new vehicle. Olu himself is an exceptional host: responsive, friendly, flexible, and genuinely committed to making the trip stress‑free. Pickup and drop‑off were effortless, communication was instant, and every detail was handled with care. If you’re looking for a premium SUV with a premium host, this is the one. I’ll definitely rent from Olu again.

Very pleased with how understanding they were with time! Unfortunately there was bad traffic and they were very kind with what time we ended up coming at. The car runs very smooth. Changed my thoughts about Mazdas lol Definitely would rent again from them

Mazda MX-5 Miata RF 2017

As a host and a passionate driver, I have to say the Mazda MX-5 embodies what a true driver’s car is. Engine in the front, power to the back, and a manual gearbox—this is pure, authentic connection to the road. The magic happens between third and fourth gear on a curvy road—you feel completely one with the car. While the tires are a bit narrower than a Toyota 86, that only makes it more agile—it handles like a dream. It’s surprisingly comfortable for its size, but ultimately, it’s that raw driving joy at a reasonable price that stands out. And hats off to the host—great communication and a smooth, seamless experience!

Mazda CX-30 2024

Renting Alaaldien’s Mazda CX-30 honestly felt like booking with a luxury car service. From start to finish, everything was seamless. He was incredibly responsive and checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly which I really appreciated. The check-in process was effortless—super smooth and surprisingly elevated in a way that made the whole experience feel premium. The car itself was spotless, practically brand new and clearly very well cared for. As a traveling private chef, having a reliable vehicle is non-negotiable for me, and this was exactly that. I didn’t have to think twice about anything—just get in and go. I truly have zero complaints. Incredible on gas, best price on an SUV and great host— If you’re considering booking don’t overthink it—just go ahead and reserve it! You’ll be glad you did. Thanks again, - Chef Holli T.

Mazda CX-90 2025

5 Stars – Amazing Vehicle, Perfect Experience! I had the absolute pleasure of renting the brand new 2025 Mazda CX-90, and I cannot say enough great things about it! The vehicle was practically fresh off the lot with fewer than 50 miles on it. It was spotless inside and out, still had that luxurious new car smell, and drove incredibly smoothly and efficiently. Fuel economy was fantastic—especially for an SUV this spacious! The interior was beautifully designed and super roomy, with plenty of space for a large family. The captain’s chairs in the second row were a huge plus, and even the third row was comfortable, which is rare to find. The tech features were modern and user-friendly—connected effortlessly to both iPhone and Android. The hosts were wonderful to work with—very responsive, informative, and made pickup and drop-off a breeze. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. As a longtime fan of Mazdas, this experience only solidified my love for the brand. Mazda vehicles are known for being reliable and safe, and this CX-90 is no exception. It’s a beautiful, feature-rich car that makes driving a joy. All in all, it was a great drive, a great trip, and a great experience. And the price? Unbeatable for a vehicle of this caliber. I’ll definitely be renting again!

Mazda CX-5 2014

George/ Matthew/ Paul have been absolutely a pleasure to rent a car from, so much in fact I did it twice in one month. They are professional, give above and beyond excellent customer service and communication, and to boot: they are just really good people. The Mazda Cx-5 AWD was exactly the car I needed for driving in and around Whistler, complete with snow tires, and felt completely safe in the car during heavy snowfall. Even when problems arose with the fob not responding, and the car having some intermittent delays starting up, their response time to my concerns was instant. I felt safe knowing that they would go above and beyond to make my car rental experience go smoothly.

Our host was so helpful when we made an error on our reservation. He reassured us that we’d have no issues picking up the car and we didn’t! Car was spotless! Excellent communication during our rental period. Way easier than traditional car rental companies. Thank you Denys!

Mazda CX-5 2013

This was the second time my family rented the mazda - I needed an SUV with AWD for the weekend, and David’s car was easy to pick up, clean, and came at a very reasonable price! As described, the car doesn’t come with much of the modern features (no carplay, no backup camera) which is something to keep in mind but those extra features were not things I needed. If anything, a simpler car is easier to figure out and my trip went smoothly.

Amy is amazing! This was my first time using Turo and Amy made pick up and drop off super convenient, even met me at the airport gate so I wouldn’t have to search for the car. She and Turo made this whole process so easy to understand. The vehicle is also perfect—very clean, well maintained and in perfect condition. I also want to note that the Mazda gets great gas mileage for longer trips. I’ll definitely be renting from Amy again. Everything about this rental process was top tier. Thanks again, Amy!
