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!

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. The car was in excellent condition, very clean, and clearly well maintained. The host was responsive, professional, and attentive throughout the entire rental process. Everything was exactly as described, making the trip smooth and stress free. I would definitely rent from this host again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle. Book with confidence. Five stars all the way!
Absolutely great experience from start to finish. Communication was excellent with very fast responses to messages, which made the entire process simple and stress-free. The car was extremely clean, well maintained, and drove perfectly throughout the trip. Pickup and drop off were quick and easy, making everything much more convenient than dealing with traditional airport rental companies. Overall, a smooth and hassle-free experience. Highly recommend and would definitely rent again!
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!
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!
The car was super clean, drove great, and the whole rental process was smooth and easy. Host was responsive and helpful. Would definitely rent again!
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 .
Amazing trip! The car was amazing and the whole rental process when smoothly and great!

Frequently asked questions in Keaau
Why choose a convertible for exploring Keaau's scenic routes?
A convertible car rental offers the perfect way to experience Hawaii's tropical climate while cruising through Keaau's lush landscapes and coastal areas. The open-air driving experience allows you to fully immerse yourself in the island's natural beauty, from the fragrant plumeria blooms to the sound of ocean waves. Rental convertibles provide an unmatched connection to Hawaii's stunning environment that traditional vehicle options simply cannot deliver.
How do you operate a convertible roof properly?
Most modern convertible car models feature electronic roof controls located near the center console or overhead, requiring the vehicle to be stationary and the parking brake engaged before operation. The roof mechanism typically takes between 15-30 seconds to fully open or close, and you should ensure no obstacles are above the car before activating the system. Always consult your rental car's manual for specific operating instructions, as different Nissan and Porsche convertible models may have unique procedures.
What safety tips should convertible drivers follow?
Always secure loose items before lowering the roof, as Hawaii's trade winds can easily carry away unsecured belongings during your car rental period. Wear sunscreen and protective eyewear when driving with the top down, especially during midday hours when UV exposure is strongest. Keep the convertible roof closed during rain showers, which can occur suddenly in tropical climates, and ensure all passengers wear seatbelts at all times.
Which Hawaiian destinations are perfect for convertible road trips?
The scenic drive along Highway 137 (Red Road) offers breathtaking coastal views and access to volcanic black sand beaches, making it ideal for convertible car adventures. Exploring the Lava Tree State Monument and nearby thermal pools provides unique geological experiences best enjoyed in an open-air vehicle. The route through Pahoa town showcases local Hawaiian culture and leads to spectacular lookout points where you can safely pull over and enjoy panoramic ocean vistas.
How should you pack for a convertible adventure?
Pack light and secure all items in the trunk or enclosed storage compartments, as open-top driving can create strong air currents that may displace loose objects. Bring a hat with a chin strap, sunglasses with a retainer cord, and a light jacket for cooler evening drives when the tropical temperatures drop. Consider waterproof bags for electronics and important documents, as Hawaii's weather can change quickly even during your car rental experience.
What weather factors affect convertible driving in Hawaii?
Hawaii's trade winds typically blow from the northeast at 10-25 mph, which can create significant air circulation in your rental convertible and affect comfort levels during longer drives. Afternoon rain showers are common in tropical climates, so monitor local weather conditions and keep the roof mechanism ready for quick closure. The intense tropical sun requires extra sun protection, and UV exposure increases significantly in convertible cars compared to traditional car options with solid roofs.
Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?
Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you'll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometers you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included." You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.
How does car rental insurance work on Turo?
No, you don't need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host's vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you'll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that's right for you. On each trip, you're covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.* In New York state, you'll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you're covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.
Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?
