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!

**5 Stars** We had a great experience renting this 2020 Mustang convertible from Macondo. The car was clean, ready on time, and exactly what we were hoping for during our Myrtle Beach trip. It was a perfect day to have the top down and cruise around the area. Pickup and drop-off were simple, communication was clear, and the host was upfront about a minor backup camera issue, which did not affect our trip at all. Overall, the car was fun, sharp-looking, and made for a really memorable day on vacation. I would definitely rent from Macondo again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun ride in Myrtle Beach.

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

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!

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!

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!

5⭐️ Alan is by far the best Turo host I have dealt with. He is extremely reliable and very quick to respond and makes sure everything is taken care of. Every time I have booked with him the cars have been very clean and I have had no issues at all. My most recent booking there was a problem where the car I booked was not returned by the previous customer. Alan went about and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, he gave me 4 different options for other cars I could take and they were all newer and double the price of the one I originally booked. I highly recommend anyone who needs to rent a vehicle to book with Alan.
