Recent reviews
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!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
This was our first time using Turo, and it couldn’t have gone any smoother. The host made the entire process easy from start to finish. The Jeep was spotless, practically brand new, and exactly as described. Pickup at the airport was incredibly convenient, and having extras like a beach cart and cooler already in the vehicle made our family beach vacation so much easier. Communication was excellent, and the return process was just as simple. We would absolutely rent from this host again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for helping make our Florida vacation even more enjoyable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an awesome experience! Pick up was easy and convenient, and the host was great with communication and responded quickly to messages. The Gladiator was clean, and so much fun to drive. It was the perfect ride for our vacation. Having the bed cover was super helpful for storage of beach chairs and coolers and kept all the sand contained so it’s not all over the inside of the vehicle. We would definitely rent from them again! Great hosts and awesome Jeep!
Perfection! Truly the only word I have. Handoff and drop off was so smooth the car is truly beautiful you would never guess it’s a 2014. If you want a fun memory to add to your trip this car is a MUST!!!
Beautiful car! Impeccably clean. Communication is amazing!! Thank you for the extra gifts as they were extremely appreciated! Awesome trip!
Host was perfect. Pick up and drop off was easy. Car needs some TLC but we had no issues driving it and getting around on our vacation. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
The car was pristine, my wife and I loved it! We make a trip to Florida every summer, and we will probably choose this car again next year.
Great rental experience. The Bronco was clean, comfortable, and fun to drive. Both pickup and drop-off were smooth, and the host was very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed the car! It was fun to drive around 30A. Nancy is so nice and was so easy and pleasant to work with. Would absolutely rent from her again!
