The car was absolutely fantastic — super nice, clean inside and out, and fully fueled when I picked it up. The communication was also excellent and very professional throughout the whole rental process. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it. Would rent again without hesitation!
I had such a great experience renting the Mini Cooper! The car was clean, comfortable, and so much fun to drive. It was the perfect size for getting around the city, while still feeling stylish and surprisingly spacious. The car was in excellent condition and everything worked perfectly. The rental process was smooth and easy, and the communication throughout the rental was great. I would definitely rent this Mini Cooper again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, reliable, and stylish car!
Such a fun Cali car to drive - love the versatility and the sleek look - great car for the best price!!!
Of course — here’s the revised version with Grigori as the host: Had a fantastic experience renting the 2025 MINI John Cooper Works Convertible from Grigori. The car was absolutely perfect for a weekend trip from LAX to Santa Barbara — fun, sporty, comfortable, and a blast to drive with the top down along the coast. The car was immaculate and exactly as described, and the pickup at LAX was incredibly convenient and seamless. Grigori was excellent to work with, very responsive, and made the entire process easy from start to finish. If you’re looking for a fun car to enjoy Southern California, especially the Santa Barbara/coastal roads, I highly recommend renting from Grigori. I would definitely rent from him again!
If you’re looking for Bumblebee in his natural habitat — LA — this is definitely the right choice! 🐝💛 The Camaro has clearly been through a few battles by now 😃 You can tell it has some miles and stories behind it, but honestly, that just makes it feel even more like the real Bumblebee. Despite showing some signs of being well-loved and driven, it was still a lot of fun and perfect for cruising around LA. The whole rental process was smooth from start to finish, and communication with the host was always quick and easy. Everything went exactly as it should. Would definitely recommend it if you want to experience a little bit of Bumblebee magic while driving around LA! 🚗💨
Owner was amazing I will definitely be returning……..Car great and the price was unbelievable
Amazing, fun car, hosted by a responsive, accommodating team. They delivered and picked up the car from my hotel, helped me extend my trip, and always replied within minutes. Way better than any brick & mortar rental agency, I highly recommend!
Wonderful car rental experience! We thoroughly enjoyed experiencing LA in this great luxury convertible.
Absolutely the best part of my trip. Clara is a great host and consistently and considerably reached out to ensure I was enjoying the ride. I would highly recommend the Miata w Clara.
I’m very happy with my experience! We had the car for 11 days and everything went perfectly. The car is recent, clean, very well maintained and stable on the road. We had absolutely no issues during the entire trip — no breakdowns, no warning lights, nothing at all. The host was also extremely responsive and available whenever we had a question, always replying almost immediately. I felt very reassured throughout the trip. I’m very satisfied and would definitely rent this car again. Thank you for everything! 😊
Overall it was a great experience with details and expectations laid out very clearly. I will rent from Moon Rentals for my next trip to LA
Great car, spotless and exactly as listed. Nicolas had it ready with photos and clear instructions before I landed, and pickup and return were effortless. A perfect trip with the roof down. Would rent from him again.
Great car, clean and comfy. Edgar was super reliable and was able provide the car on very short notice. Saved my LA trip. Look no further and book this beauty. Best price/performance for the money
Had a great experience with the Ford Mustang! The car was fun to drive, clean, and made our LA trip even more enjoyable. A special kudos to the host for being extremely responsive and supportive throughout the rental. We ran into a situation where Turo Customer Care wasn’t very helpful, but the host stepped in, communicated quickly, and helped us get everything sorted out. Really appreciated the extra effort and great service. Would definitely recommend both the Mustang and the host!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience from start to finish! We were able to communicate with Sarkis easily throughout the entire rental, and he was always very helpful and responsive. We rented the car for a two-week trip, and the car was absolutely fantastic. Everything went smoothly, and we were completely satisfied with both the car and the service. I highly recommend renting from Sarkis! If we come back to the area, I will definitely book with him again. Thank you, Sarkis! 🙏
This is a beautiful brand new 2026 Jeep Wrangler that still has the new car smell. The hosts (Anna / Giorgio) are very kind and polite and clearly tried their best to make to make it a positive experience. A couple of notes, that should not reflect badly on the vehicle or the host. As an international traveller using an eSIM card, I did not have access to a phone or to SMS messaging. I did not expect that I would be required to place a phone call for a shuttle pick up from the airport to access the vehicle in a (too far to walk to) parking lot. This seriously impacted the vehicle pick up process, which was not at all smooth. We stood outside the airport for a while wondering what we should do. (Thankfully the very kind and friendly shuttle driver just so happened to swing by to check to see if there was anyone waiting. This helped to counter balance the very rude parking attendant who claimed he ‘forgot’ the reservation code that the shuttle driver had just given him, while I tried to access the shotty signal connection to find the code again). The side and back windows are also heavily tinted making it hard to see out at night, as well as during the day when the (beautiful but also glaringly bright) California sun demands (polarized) sunglasses.

Frequently asked questions in Manhattan Beach
Why choose a convertible for Manhattan Beach drives?
Manhattan Beach offers perfect conditions for convertible car adventures with its year-round mild climate and stunning coastal scenery. The open-air driving experience allows you to fully appreciate the ocean breeze and panoramic views along the Strand. A convertible car rental transforms ordinary beach trips into memorable experiences, letting you soak up the California sunshine while cruising through this picturesque coastal community.
How do you operate a convertible roof properly?
Most modern convertibles feature automated roof systems activated by holding down a button while the vehicle is parked or moving at very low speeds. Always ensure windows are slightly lowered before operating the roof mechanism to prevent pressure buildup. Check that the rental convertible is on level ground and that no obstacles are overhead before raising or lowering the soft top.
What safety tips matter when driving convertibles?
Always secure loose items before lowering the roof, as wind can easily blow objects from the vehicle. Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen generously since convertible driving increases UV exposure significantly. Keep your rental convertible doors locked and valuables out of sight, as open-top vehicles can be more vulnerable to opportunistic theft in busy Manhattan Beach areas.
Which scenic routes suit convertible adventures from Manhattan Beach?
The Strand provides an exceptional coastal drive with unobstructed ocean views stretching toward Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach. Manhattan Beach Boulevard offers a pleasant route inland through residential neighborhoods with beautiful architecture and tree-lined streets. Exploring the nearby Palos Verdes Peninsula in your rental convertible reveals dramatic clifftop vistas and winding roads perfect for open-air motoring.
How should you pack for convertible trips?
Pack light and secure all belongings in the trunk or glove compartment before lowering the roof on your rental convertible. Bring a hat or hair ties to manage wind effects, and consider a light jacket for temperature changes during evening drives. Choose a small, secure bag for essentials and avoid bringing items that could blow away during your Manhattan Beach convertible adventure.
What weather factors affect convertible driving?
Manhattan Beach's Mediterranean climate makes it ideal for convertible car rental experiences, though morning marine layer can create cooler conditions. Strong afternoon winds from the Pacific may affect comfort levels and require adjusting driving speed accordingly. Always monitor weather forecasts before planning extended convertible trips, as unexpected temperature drops can occur near the ocean even during warm days.
