Recent reviews
By far one of the best vehicles I’ve rented! The Jeep Wrangler Willys Edition was practically brand new, extremely clean, and an absolute blast to drive. The orange color gave it the perfect beach-vacation vibe—and as a bonus, you could always spot it in a crowded parking lot! Everything worked exactly as it should, the large screen and features were great, and the Jeep drove excellent. Honestly, having this Wrangler added to the whole vacation experience and made the trip that much more fun. The host was just as impressive—great communication, clear information, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I can’t say enough good things about this rental. I would absolutely rent it again and highly recommend both the Jeep and the host. Easy 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loved the Gladiator! Smooth ride, great trip. Easy communication with Jose. Would absolutely rent with him again.
It was was easy to pick up, the communication was great and the jeep was gray for our vacation
Jeep was great just like it was two years ago when we rented it. Clean and gassed up ready to go. Pick up was easy as was drop off. Host is very responsive and helpful. Will rent off of him again in the future.
Very nice Jeep! Holly was nice to work with. Would definitely rent from her again!!!
An incredible experience! 🚘✨ Driving John’s convertible was pure luxury, comfort, and fun. The perfect combination for enjoying the road with the wind and the sun! ☀️😎. We also appreciate the gifts 🎁 at pick up!
We were able to conveniently pick up the car as soon as we landed from our flight— no waiting at a rental car desk! Clint gave clear directions on where we could find its location and how to return it back before our flight. Our jeep was perfect for our FL stay and drove smoothly all week!
This was our 1st time using Turo and it was a great experience. Our host was very quick to respond to any questions we had and made it very easy to get through the rental process. Thank you so much!
This was the first time I’ve ever sat in, let alone drove the new Corvette body style and the experience was better than imagined. Host is amazing, great communicator and this clean well maintained car turned heads often as we rolled through the Florida panhandle on 30A for our day trip. When I return, I will look for this car again and the white is so classy and prettier that the pictures show.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ id add a sixth if allowed. I can not say enough good about this experience. John was welcoming, over the top hospitable, and a great communicator. The rental experience was seamless. The car was amazing. My family loved it and it was great to drive. The cleanest vehicle I’ve ever rented. It’s apparent he takes great care of his vehicles and wants them in the best condition for rental. Would absolutely rent again. John is the standard Turo needs to strive to be.
We had an absolute blast in this jeep. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a beast and gets a lot of looks, smiles and compliments. The host was very responsive and even helped us out with a last minute schedule change with zero issue. We will use them again.
The jeep was very clean, easy to access, and the host was very friendly
