Easily the best car rental experience I've had. The process was smooth and the communication was excellent. Hassle-free, plus no hidden fees (which is always a concern when renting a car). Daniel and his team provided great customer service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

This was our first time renting from Turo, so I was a bit skeptical about the rental, but everything turned out to be great after we picked up the van. A brand new Mercedes Van holds 15 passengers, plus lots of cargo spaces to hold up to 10 or 15 luggages. The van also come with extend head space for 6’ tall passenger able to stand up in the van. It was very easy to deal with pick up and Brent was attentive during the pick up time.
