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!

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

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

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!

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions in Tacoma

Why choose a convertible for your Tacoma adventure?

A convertible car rental in Tacoma offers the perfect way to experience Washington's stunning natural beauty with the wind in your hair. The open-air driving experience enhances scenic routes through the Pacific Northwest, allowing you to fully appreciate Mount Rainier's majestic views and Puget Sound's coastal charm. Convertible car rentals provide an unforgettable way to explore Tacoma's waterfront districts and nearby natural attractions while enjoying the fresh mountain air.

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 you to hold the button while the roof retracts or closes. Always ensure your rental convertible is parked on level ground and check for overhead clearance before operating the roof mechanism. The process typically takes 15-30 seconds, and you should avoid operating the roof while driving for safety reasons during your Tacoma car rental experience.

What safety tips should convertible drivers follow?

Always secure loose items before putting the top down on your convertible car, as wind can easily blow objects out of the vehicle. Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen regularly since convertible driving increases sun exposure during your Tacoma car rental adventure. Keep the roof closed during inclement weather and be extra cautious of your surroundings, as convertible cars offer less protection than traditional enclosed vehicles.

Which scenic routes from Tacoma suit convertibles best?

The drive along Ruston Way waterfront provides spectacular views of Commencement Bay and makes excellent use of your rental convertible with gentle coastal breezes. Point Defiance Park's Five Mile Drive offers a perfect convertible car experience through old-growth forests with glimpses of Puget Sound. The route toward Mount Rainier showcases Washington's diverse landscapes, making your Tacoma car rental adventure truly memorable with panoramic mountain vistas.

How should you pack for a convertible road trip?

Pack light and secure all belongings in the trunk or use bungee cords to prevent items from flying out of your convertible car during your Tacoma car rental journey. Bring layers of clothing since temperatures can vary significantly between open-air and closed-roof driving, especially in Washington's changing weather conditions. Include a hat, sunglasses, and a light jacket to ensure comfort throughout your convertible car rental experience regardless of weather changes.

What weather factors affect convertible driving?

Wind speed significantly impacts convertible car comfort, with speeds above 25 mph making conversation difficult and potentially affecting vehicle handling. Rain and sudden weather changes common in the Tacoma area require quick roof operation, so familiarize yourself with your rental convertible's controls before departing. Temperature fluctuations throughout Washington can make open-air driving uncomfortable, so monitor weather forecasts and plan your car rental routes accordingly for optimal enjoyment.

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.

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.

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?

Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver's licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn't accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner's permit/instruction permits are not accepted.

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometers you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included."
