Great car! Fun little trip i had with it. I will callout that your phone doesn’t connect to it which makes sense, i just didn’t think to check that beforehand. But radio is great!

Great, easy pick up and drop off. Great little car to drive around SLO, especially for parallel parking, which there is a lot of. Highly recommend. Great gas mileage.

Pick up and drop off were easy and convenient. To rent a car during our trip was a last minute choice, and I’m so glad we did. This cute sporty car was a great way enjoy our time in SLO.

Perfect car for my weekend trip! Great gas mileage was a plus. Daniel was awesome too. He gave recommendations when asked and even happily returned items I left in the car after drop off.


Adorable car. Much roomier inside than I expected for a small car! It handled very well and was clean and comfortable. I felt safe driving to Long Beach in it. Daniel responded immediately when I asked to extend my trip a few hours. This was a great experience. Thank you!
This FIAT was a fun car and perfect for our trip. Vibes were immaculate! The heated seats were great for the colder drives in SLO.

Communication was efficient and pickup was made super easy. A fun little car to cruise around in!

Super fun ride! Great friendly Turo owner. Thanks again! Would love to rent from you next time!

This little whip was so much fun. It’s the perfect ride if you don’t have too much baggage. Only negative was the trunk was tricky to get open. Had to do it from the inside. But other than that! Love the experience. Perfect wedding weekend whip!
Fun automatic with pep, full retractable roof was awesome to drive around the pacific coast with seeing the cliffs and smelling the air. Will request this car again next time.


Great communication, clean car, easy pickup and drop off. Will definitely rent again!
