This ride was so much fun! Everywhere you drove people were turning heads to look at this stunning slingshot. The car rental was affordable and better than any of the rental companies I looked into. I will be renting again next time I come back to visit Sarasota!
We love working with Shane and Giovanni!!! Both times we’ve been on Oahu we’ve rented from them! The pick up and return is always easy, finding the car is easy and the Polaris Slingshot if the best way to tour the island!! We’ll be back in a few years and rent from them again!! ❤️🤙 Mahalo
What an amazing experience from the communication before hand and the car itself. So fun! Would definitely recommend checking this out and will rent again from then in future! ✌️
The car was absolutely amazing, it drove so well and it was super fun. Not only that but the host was even better , accomodating every request and even providing extra luxury. Very gas efficient, great car to rent for the city, and turns all the heads.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The slingshot was great, highly recommend to rent. This was my first time ever renting and driving a Slingshot, and the host was absolutely amazing throughout the entire experience. I had a situation where I thought I may have damaged the vehicle and she went above and beyond to help. She came out to assist me not once, but twice, and remained patient, understanding, and professional the whole time. She even arranged for a tow truck to make sure everything was okay and offered me an Uber so I wouldn't be stranded. As a first-time renter, that level of customer service really put me at ease. The Slingshot was a blast to drive, and I truly appreciate how responsive and caring she was throughout the rental. If you're considering renting from her, I highly recommend it. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and their experience. Thank you again for making my first Slingshot rental a great one! Sorry for inconvenience by the way
The car was perfect. Made everything very easy to pick the car up. Would definitely rent again.

If you are on the fence with renting one with a covered top, don’t! Trust me.. You definitely want to rent with Hanzel and have the top!! Will definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Hanzel!!
Every time I'm in Florida I always look for Slingshot. It's a necessity. I'm glad Ernst offered this through Turo. The price was unbeatable and the Polaris was everything and more than I expected. It is really the ultimate Florida driving experience, it was a blast. It's a very easy "car" to drive, the clutch is like butter. In an area filled with luxury and exotic cars, this thing has everyone's attention. I highly recommend getting a slingshot for your next Florida trip and encourage you to go through Ernst. He was great to deal with. He was very attentive and available for any questions and concerns. We're in South Florida, so If you burn easy, make sure you have sunscreen. Other than that the smiles you will get from this experience are well worth it. I recommend at least a couple days with the Polaris. I promise you won't be disappointed. Next time I'm down this area, I will definitely be contacting Ernst for some more seat time in the Polaris Slingshot! Thank you again!
Everything was great! Pickup and delivery was smooth and the car is extremely nice, will rent again!
Danielle was amazing to rent from. We rented her Slingshot so we could show up in style to a couple events, and it was such a great experience from beginning to end. She was consistently quick to respond to every message we sent and was so friendly the entire time. You can tell she genuinely enjoys seeing people enjoy her Slingshot, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and easy. I was honestly surprised at how affordable her pricing was for such a unique and eye-catching vehicle. The whole rental process was hassle-free, smooth, and exactly what we hoped for. We’ll definitely be keeping Danielle at the top of our list anytime we’re looking to rent a luxury vehicle again. Highly recommend!
Had an amazing experience with this slingshot rental! The vehicle was clean, fun to drive, and definitely turned heads everywhere we went. The rental process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. I would absolutely rent again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun experience.
Always a blast in the slingshot! It's my 3rd time and not last time in rent from Van. The best part is how easy Van makes it to pick up and drop off. Definitely rent from Van. Until next time!
Great trip. Car was nice it ran great and was in nice shape. The rear tire is in need of replacing would be my only suggestion for safety purposes. Rental process was smooth and easy. I would definitely rent again.
