This was our first experience with turo. This process was very easy. The host was very nice and explained a few things to us. Our church group had a great time and they felt safe being in this type of van.

Car was just right for our family road trip. Pick up and delivery was efficient. Would have liked more direct communication with the host at times but that may be more of a personal preference.

Van was clean on the interior and exterior upon arrival with the exception of the interior of the front passenger side door and rear driver’s side cup holder. Van ran great, no issues during rental. The interior layout of the seats is a little odd with a full front row, full back row and one seat on the passenger side in the middle row leaving a large gap between the front row and back row passengers to have their intended business conversations. It worked out for my passengers but definitely wasn’t expecting that layout upon arrival. Curt was responsive and accommodating, even willing to do a different drop location for me to help with a tight timeline to the airport. Overall, a great experience and would rent from Curt again!
