Had a great time with the mustang convertible. Everything works as should. Simple easy as pie pick up and drop off here at the airport. Look forward to coming back and going thru them again.
The trip was overall good. Had an initial issue with the key fob, but Ocean was responsive, friendly and helpful to resolve the issue. Initially didn’t realize that I was responsible for paying parking for the vehicle which added $36 dollars to the rental amount. Keep that in mind and factor that into your rental amounts for those that pick up from the airport. Overall would definitely rent again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Jeep was PERFECT for our Florida trip 😆 Clean, fun to drive, and exactly the beachy vacation vibe we were going for. Pickup and drop-off were easy and everything went smoothly. Would absolutely rent again! 🌴🚙
The mustang was a pleasure to drive! The convertible was perfect for our trip. Smooth operation and transaction. Would rent again!
We had an excellent experience with Sofía’s Jeep. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and clear with all the information from the very beginning, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The vehicle is in great condition and absolutely worth the price. It drives very smoothly, feels stable and comfortable on the road, and has an excellent sound system that made the trip even more enjoyable. My wife and I truly enjoyed it to the fullest. We will definitely rent this Jeep again from Sofía the next time we’re in Tampa. Highly recommended!
We had a great experience. A convertible car is a must in Florida . The car is great and the communication with host was very effective. Would rent it again in the future.
Easiest to work with. Excellent communication. A memorable trip. No doubt, the best experience I’ve had with the process of renting exotic cars.
I enjoyed driving the car for our vacation! It drove well and was just as expected! Owner was very helpful, patient and communicative! Would definitely rent again! 1st time using Turo and it was a great experience!
I had an excellent experience renting this Corvette. The car was in outstanding condition—clean, well-maintained, and an absolute thrill to drive. It truly made my trip stand out. The pick up and drop off were very smooth and the host detailed the location for pick and made the process smooth. The host was very responsive and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. When I needed to extend my trip, they were extremely helpful and accommodating, which I really appreciated. Thank you very much! I would absolutely rent this Corvette again without hesitation!
The Bronco was just as described and great for our trip! My wife and daughters loved it and took many photos with it. It was comfortable and so easy to put the top back and forth. Pickup and drop off were a breeze and host made renting so easy with good comms. Would definitely rent again!
I loved driving this car around Tampa/ St. Pete. Renting with Chris made my trip seamless especially since I landed late and had to depart very early in the morning. Would definitely rent again if back in the area.
This was the type of trip Turo was made for. The car was perfect! Nicholas was so kind and helpful. Everything was easy. Highly recommend!
Renting this Corvette was incredible, and the vehicle itself was a freaking blast to drive. Our host, Nick, made the entire experience incredibly smooth and hassle-free. The car delivered phenomenal performance and turned heads in a fashion I wasn’t used to, that made the whole trip unforgettable. We had an excellent time and I would highly recommend renting from Nick. Might have to go and get myself a vette now!
We had an amazing trip to Siesta Key and the Ford Mustang made it even better! The vehicle was super clean, convenient, and exactly as described. The entire experience was hassle-free from start to finish, and the host was friendly, responsive, and great to work with. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a smooth and enjoyable ride!
I love the Jeep. It was good on gas. Only thing I didn’t like about it was that a lot of people must rent it for the beach because of how much sand that was in the car but other than that, I love it..
absolutely awesome car and host! convertible was perfect for the beach! host communicated very well and the car was clean and lots of fun. thank you!
