Peugeot BOXER 2023

J'ai utilisé ce véhicule pour un A/R Toulouse Nancy, soit environ 1900 km. Il est en parfait état, très propre intérieur extérieur. Il consomme en moyenne 9,1 L au 100 km sur autoroute en respectant une vitesse de 130 km/h. Il est très facile d'accès. De plus vous aurez la possibilité de laisser votre propre véhicule dans un parking couvert durant toute la location. Stéphane est très à l'écoute, très ponctuel et très conciliant. Il m'a permis de voir le véhicule un mois avant la date officielle de la location pour que je puisse mesurer et calcluer le volume utile du camion qui m' à servi à déménager un appartement de 40 m2 avec notamment un canapé de 2,40m de long, machine à laver, une table 4 places, 4 chaises, table basse, petit meuble TV, structure de lit, matelas, sommier en lattes qui s'enroule, et évidemment une vingtaine de carton de taille moyenne ou petite: de quoi faire un joli tetris. Je vous recommande donc de louer ce véhicule pour ce type d'usage. De mon côté, je n'hésiterai pas à louer à nouveau ce véhicule. Merci encore Stéphane pour tes services.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Cargo 2016

This my first time using Turo. The price for The Mercedes Benz Sprinter was well below what I thought which was a great deal. The owner Mr. Norman was on time at the pickup and drop off ,very respectful ,professional and very friendly. The hospitality was excellent. He made sure I knew everything about the Sprinter and he made sure it was clean and road ready. Our trip had changed the timing a few times and Mr Norman he made sure everything was taking care of to change the timing and we were able to travel without rushing to get back on time. I plan to book again soon with him. Service 10/10 highly recommended. Thank you for making my first trip with Turo a pleasant experience.
