Recent reviews
The convertible rental drove great and made the trip even more enjoyable. The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Deanne was incredibly kind, professional, and made the entire rental process smooth and hassle-free. I would definitely recommend renting from her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Deanne to any friends or family visiting the area. Great experience from start to finish!
Great car for a great price. Pickup and drop off was easy. Host had great communications. Would rent again.
Such an amazing car to drive and especially for the price. For a stock c8 this car is a real head turner anywhere you go. I am the owner of O.R. Performance and fully intend to be renting this vehicle again. My one suggestion for anyone that rents this car is make sure you look up how to operate a c8 before renting or please provide customer instruction as some things are not like normal cars such as gas cap function. Target top removal and placement, securing the frunk etc. the car operates and handles as it should. It was such a joy to work with this owner and their vehicles. Cheers ! Be blessed, smile more and drive this c8.
Great easy pick up. Parking ticket from days before reservation but it seems that we are supposed to get reimbursed
I’m not a Jeep guy, let alone a yellow Jeep guy. But, the Gladiator was awesome. Perfect for our family vacation to our Florida vacation home - Beach trips and Home Depot. The color actually grew on me too 😂. Excellent communication with Roy. Will definitely rent again.
Nikolas made a last minute rental a flawless and easy process. The night before I landed I reached out to rent. He was highly communicative and ensured the vehicle was there for my early am arrival. In addition to the rental being easy, the vehicle itself was clean and in perfect condition. 10/10 would rent again
The car was great. The parking location was perfect. The only issue was that the vehicle wasn’t charged when I arrived and there was no charging cable in the vehicle. It also can’t be charged at the usual charging stations, so I wasn’t able to charge it for the duration of the trip and didn’t get the gas mileage/savings I had hoped for when I rented it. That being said, the owner did offer to cover my first charge, however the airport charging station for this kind of EV was temporarily unavailable. Other than that, the rental was smooth and easy. Thanks!
The car and service were excellent!! My friends and I traveled down for our birthday weekend and the car was just the right touch added to our trip! Thank you so much!
Communication was great the vehicle drove great it's a great vehicle too rent for the weekend, it's a great vehicle I loved it and thank you
Had an amazing experience renting the C8 Corvette! The car was beautiful, powerful and an absolute blast to drive. It was clean, well-maintained and turned heads everywhere I went. The host made the rental process smooth and easy. Would definitely rent again. Highly recommend!
This was my first time booking on Turo and Topher did not disappoint! They had everything covered from the start of my trip on where to find the car to the end of my trip on final steps. The cat itself was immaculate and fun to drive. We used the convertible often and the car handled well. Anytime I had questions, and I will say I had several since this was my first time, Topher answered promptly and never made me feel like a bother. I would definitely use Turo and Topher again in the future!
Amazing experience renting this 2025 Ford Bronco! The vehicle was comfortable and fun to drive. The pickup and return process was smooth and convenient. Omar was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely rent from him again. Highly recommended!
Great car. Simple pick up. Getting time extensions were super easy and straightforward. They are a little anal about your driver’s license so make sure you don’t accidentally leave it at home (I mean you shouldn’t if you plan to drive around) but nonetheless I would definitely rent from them again!
I really enjoyed my time. Easy pickup and drop off. Perfect for my trip in Florida. I highly recommend. Such a fun Corvette!
