Porsche 911 2025

5 stars all day. Rented the convertible Porsche for our Vegas trip and it was an absolute dream. The car was kept at the airport for us, so pickup was seamless — no waiting, no rental counter, just keys and go. Spotless, perfectly maintained, and a total head-turner with the top down on the Strip. Communication from the host was quick and professional from start to finish. We highly recommend this beautiful ride. Will rent again next trip!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic rental experience! The white BMW convertible was absolutely beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The car drove smoothly, had plenty of power, and made every trip enjoyable. Driving with the top down was the perfect way to enjoy the scenery and made the experience even more memorable. The host was friendly, professional, and responsive throughout the entire rental process. Pickup and drop-off were simple and convenient. I would definitely rent this BMW again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, stylish, and reliable vehicle. Thank you for a great experience!

This BMW 2 Series Convertible is literally the best car to rent if you plan on doing a little driving around the island. Rent it for the experience. It’s a sick looking car and it drives beautifully. Very comfortable for 2 people. Car was in perfect shape and gave me no problems. Very fun car to drive around the mountains. I was considering something a little more fuel efficient like a Prius, but this absolutely makes the trip a blast. You’re not going to spend much on gas regardless. Treat yourself, you’ll thank me later. Host was extremely accommodating. Never left me hanging for a second whenever we had to communicate. Will book again when I’m back.

This was the perfect car to cruise around in for our trip to Naples! It was clean and a beautiful car. The interior was so nice and my phone easily connected for apple car play and navigation for my maps and music. The rental process was so smooth. My husband usually books the Turo but I did this on my own this time and it was so simple. I was very pleased with my experience. I will definitely rent from them again. The response time was so very quick with any messages or questions I sent. I highly recommend this car and renting through SWFL auto rentals. They had it waiting for us at the airport

I will give a 5 star because the host was nice how ever the address that’s posted on the app for pick up and drop off are not where you will be picking up and dropping off. No clear instructions language barrier may have been the issue. I had to pick up the car at the airport parking structure which was a bit difficult specially if you’re not familiar wasn’t hard after I figure it out but price and everything else was fine. Would be nice to know where you are dropping off and picking up car ahead of reservation

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The Ford Mustang Convertible was spotless, well-maintained, and an absolute blast to drive. There’s nothing quite like cruising with the top down, and this car made every mile enjoyable. The vehicle was exactly as described, ran perfectly, and turned heads everywhere I went. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and hassle-free, and the host was professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the trip. One of the best Turo experiences I’ve had. Highly recommended, and I would definitely rent this Mustang again!

It was really amazing zipping around Las Vegas in this beauty, especially with the top down. She is very well maintained and has some slight weat and tear that is expected. The breaks were a little squeaky. Nothing was enough to take this from 5 stars though. The host was very quick to respond and helpful with questions I had. Purple is my favorite color 💜 so it made it extra special for me. I would definitely rent this car again if I can for my next trip to Vegas. One thing that puts this host above so many is that they allow you to pick up from the airport rental lot. Some hosts charge for that but this host did not (which may have been due to demand/surge pricing or maybe they build it in to the rental price). That made getting the vehicle so breezy! Would give 10 stars if aI could!

Ford Mustang 2024

Wow. Just wow. If you’re planning to rent a car while in Oahu, this Ford Mustang convertible is absolutely the way to do it. There’s nothing like dropping the top and cruising along the island coastlines with the Hawaiian sun and ocean views around you. It honestly became one of the highlights of our trip. The car itself was spotless, fun to drive, and perfect for exploring the island. But what really made the experience exceptional was Gabriel. From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. Pick-up and drop-off were seamless, and he went out of his way to make everything easy and stress-free for our family. If you’re considering renting a vehicle in Oahu, do yourself a favor and rent from Gabriel. You won’t regret it!

We had an excellent experience with Sofía’s Jeep. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and clear with all the information from the very beginning, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The vehicle is in great condition and absolutely worth the price. It drives very smoothly, feels stable and comfortable on the road, and has an excellent sound system that made the trip even more enjoyable. My wife and I truly enjoyed it to the fullest. We will definitely rent this Jeep again from Sofía the next time we’re in Tampa. Highly recommended!

Jeep Wrangler 2026

Allow me to set the scene, I had a free rental through a popular rental car chain but decided to take the road less traveled and grab a vehicle on Turo for this trip. Besides coming to Hawaii, this was the best decision I’ve made. Burak was very kind and helpful through this experience and the ride was amazing! It was a decision of a bigger vehicle or convertible, but a convertible with three other adults just seemed cramped. Well this 2026 Jeep Wrangler gave us space and an automatic retracting roof. Push a button and it does the work. The speakers switched to overhead automatically so we could still vibe. Going through the canyon with that open to hit north shore was a perfect moment. I even extended by a day and Burak quickly approved. I would definitely rent another vehicle through him for future trips.

Great trip! Responsive and helpful host. Took the bus to the lot, owner unlocked the car, and we were free. Reverse for pickup - exactly what I was hoping for. Great car for getting around the city and good fun with the convertible top. Bring a Type A to USB -C for Android Auto .

Dear Turo community, I would like to extend my gratitude to the vehicle's owner. This car is truly exceptional. During my recent rental in Memphis, it provided a luxurious experience, making my weekend getaway even more enjoyable. The attention to detail, both inside and out, is impressive and reflects a high standard of quality. Additionally, the vehicle's fuel efficiency is a notable advantage, especially considering the high gas prices in Shelby County. I highly recommend renting this car, as it is sure to exceed your expectations❣️🤏🏾 No brainer🫀 just book it🤣🤣 With Gratitude, Mrs. Jones

Top tips for renting a convertible in Clemson

Book early on Turo to secure the best convertible options, especially during football season and university events when demand peaks. Look for vehicles with features like heated seats for cooler mountain evenings, keyless entry for convenience, and pet-friendly options if traveling with companions. Consider choosing a car with all-wheel drive capabilities for exploring the nearby mountain roads and state parks, and check for extras like bike racks if you plan outdoor adventures around the Blue Ridge foothills.

Frequently asked questions in Clemson

Why choose a convertible for your Clemson adventure?

A convertible car rental transforms your Clemson experience by letting you feel the warm South Carolina breeze while exploring the scenic Blue Ridge foothills. The open-air driving experience enhances visits to nearby natural attractions like Lake Hartwell and the rolling countryside around the university town. Convertible car rentals provide the perfect vehicle for enjoying Clemson's beautiful weather and picturesque landscapes year-round.

How do you operate a convertible roof properly?

Most modern rental convertibles feature automated roof systems activated by holding down a button while the vehicle remains stationary. Always ensure windows are slightly lowered before operating the roof mechanism to prevent pressure buildup inside the cabin. Check that the area above your rental car is clear of obstacles like low-hanging branches or garage ceilings before beginning the conversion process.

What safety tips should convertible drivers follow?

Secure all loose items before lowering the roof, as wind can easily carry away personal belongings during your South Carolina adventure. Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen regularly when driving with the top down, especially during longer journeys around Clemson's sunny climate. Keep your rental car's soft top properly latched and avoid parking under trees where falling debris could damage the convertible roof.

Which scenic routes near Clemson suit convertible road trips?

The Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway offers breathtaking mountain views perfect for convertible car adventures through South Carolina's upcountry region. Lake Hartwell's shoreline roads provide stunning water vistas and gentle curves ideal for open-top driving experiences. The rural roads connecting Clemson to nearby Seneca and Anderson showcase rolling farmland and historic Southern architecture best appreciated from a rental convertible.

How should you pack for a convertible car journey?

Pack items in soft bags rather than hard cases to maximize storage space in your rental convertible's typically smaller trunk area. Bring a light jacket or sweater for evening drives when temperatures drop, even during warm South Carolina days. Store essential items like phones and cameras in secure compartments to prevent them from flying out during your Clemson area exploration.

What weather factors affect convertible driving?

South Carolina's afternoon thunderstorms can develop quickly, so monitor weather forecasts before embarking on longer convertible car journeys around Clemson. Strong winds above 35 mph can make driving with the top down uncomfortable and potentially unsafe for your rental car. Winter months may require keeping the roof up more frequently, though Clemson's mild climate often allows for year-round convertible enjoyment.
