Easy pick up, easy return, good price, and truck performed as it should. Would rent again.
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.
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.
Brian is alway great to work with. The van is clean, ready to go, and an efficient operation.
Great communication and very super friendly. Will definitely rent a car from Daniel again! Thanks once again for such a smooth experience - car drives beautifully
Hote tres reactif et disponible et cela n a pas changé car suprise j avais deja pris une voiture Y10 avec lui il a plus de 8 ans. Concernant le camion il est tres fiable propre et se conduit tres bien.
La réservation s’est bien déroulé. Emmanuel s’est montré très sérieux. Je le recommande.
Overall reliable vehicle and luxurious style van! The back is just super loud because AC in summer works quite hard I think?
Wow! Let me tell you renting this van made our Vegas experience 10x better!! From the moment I received the rental from this lovely couple the experience was delightful! They were not only welcoming, but took the time to get to know me and tell me a little about themselves. My friends and I enjoyed every single car ride in this lovely spacious vehicle. 10/20 for this experience. We will definitely be renting this van out again. Thank you again for making our experience that much better!! 🥳🙌🏼😊

Frequently asked questions in Mountain View
What cargo van size works best for Mountain View moves?
Full size cargo vans provide optimal space for Mountain View relocations, offering approximately 400 cubic feet of cargo capacity for furniture and boxes. These rental vehicles accommodate most household items while remaining maneuverable through Mountain View's residential streets and parking areas. Consider the van's height clearance when accessing underground garages common in the area.
How to pack efficiently in a cargo van rental?
Load heavy items like appliances and furniture first against the van's front wall, then fill gaps with boxes and lighter items to maximize space utilization. Distribute weight evenly across the cargo van floor to maintain proper vehicle balance during your Mountain View move. Pack fragile items in the middle sections where they're protected from shifting during transport.
How to drive cargo vans safely in Mountain View traffic?
Allow extra following distance since cargo vans require more stopping time than regular vehicles, especially important during Mountain View's busy commuter hours. Use your mirrors frequently as the cargo area blocks rear visibility, and take wider turns to accommodate the van's longer wheelbase. Practice parking in an empty lot before navigating Mountain View's tighter residential areas.
What's the safest way to load heavy furniture in cargo vans?
Use proper lifting techniques with your legs rather than your back, and recruit additional drivers or helpers for items over 50 pounds. Position heavy furniture pieces against the cargo van's walls and secure them with tie-down straps to prevent sliding during transport. Load the heaviest items first near the front of the rental vehicle to maintain optimal weight distribution.
How to secure large items in your cargo van?
Utilize the cargo van's built-in tie-down points with ratchet straps or rope to anchor furniture and appliances against the walls. Place moving blankets between items and the van walls to prevent scratches and reduce shifting during your Mountain View journey. Create a barrier of boxes or padding around fragile items to minimize movement within the rental vehicle.
What are cargo van weight limits to consider?
Most cargo van rentals have payload capacities between 3,000-4,000 pounds, including passengers and fuel weight in your calculations. Check your rental vehicle's specific weight rating on the driver door placard before loading to avoid exceeding limits. Distribute weight evenly throughout the cargo area rather than concentrating heavy items in one section of the van.
What documents and paperwork do I need to rent a car on Turo?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver's license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

When you're booking your first trip, you'll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver's license and some other information. In most cases, you'll get approved immediately, and you'll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!
