I am pleased to provide this review of my Turo rental experience with Tom and his Chevrolet Corvette. Tom’s service as a host was exemplary in every respect. He demonstrated outstanding responsiveness, addressing all of my inquiries promptly and with clear, detailed information prior to and throughout the rental period. His professionalism, knowledge of the vehicle, and commitment to ensuring a smooth and seamless process were truly impressive and contributed significantly to an enjoyable experience from booking to return. The Corvette itself was exceptional. I recommend Tom without reservation to anyone seeking a premium sports car rental through Turo. His dedication and the quality of the vehicle have exceeded my expectations.

Amazing experience with a great vehicle. Kareem was very friendly, professional, and courteous throughout the reservation. If you are looking to rent a Tesla I could not recommend this host and car more

I highly recommend using Sof if you are looking to rent a Tesla on the central coast! He was so helpful through the entire booking and rental process. We really appreciated that he took the time to explain the car to us at pickup, as we had not driven a Tesla before. The car was clean and just as pictured in his listing. Thank you, Sof!

Porsche Macan 2025

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mead Green Autos Turo program. I’ve used Turo numerous times, but my other experiences pale in comparison. First, the pricing was very fair, especially for the class of car I was renting. A brand new 2025 Porsche Macan. I opted to use their “white glove” drop off and pick up offering. It was well worth the $70 or so dollars. My host was waiting for me outside of arrivals and I dropped the car off in the same location, which is across the median and away from the huge crowd of cars. The Macan was immaculate and so much fun to drive. I used to work at Porsche Cars North America but have never driven the Macan. LOVED IT! I also needed a car seat, which was also in pristine condition and high quality. Other car rental companies give me cheap, kind of gross car seats!! The hosts communication throughout the entire process was superb. He went out of his way to help me when I got turned around at the international terminal. Finally, I’m born and raised in Atlanta but live out of state now. I’ve been in and out of Hartsfield-Jackson probably 1000 times. Mead Green was by far one of my best experiences and made traveling with my 4 year old seamless. We got on and off the plane, walked straight in our out of the airport, never stepping foot in a parking deck, dealing with the skytrain to get to the big rental car agencies or having to wait on a ride share service. RENT WITH MEAD GREEN AUTOS!! You wont regret it. I will continue to book with them on my many trips to Atlanta.

Chevrolet Corvette 2024

I had an outstanding experience renting from Andrew. I rented his Chevrolet Corvette C8 from May 1st to May 3rd for my son’s prom, and the entire process exceeded expectations. The vehicle was spotless upon pickup, and Andrew went above and beyond by leaving a thoughtful note and a small gift for my son, something he absolutely didn’t have to do. That gesture spoke volumes about his character and genuine care for his renters. Pickup was seamless. The car was located in covered airport parking, positioned at the end of the row, making it extremely easy to find. From start to finish, everything was well thought out and convenient. The Corvette itself was an absolute joy to drive, and more importantly, it created a memorable experience for my son, exactly what I was hoping for on such a special occasion. Andrew was highly attentive and responsive throughout the rental. He answered all of my questions promptly and even checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly, which I appreciated. I would not hesitate to rent from Andrew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top tier Turo experience.

Porsche 911 2025

5 stars all day. Rented the convertible Porsche for our Vegas trip and it was an absolute dream. The car was kept at the airport for us, so pickup was seamless — no waiting, no rental counter, just keys and go. Spotless, perfectly maintained, and a total head-turner with the top down on the Strip. Communication from the host was quick and professional from start to finish. We highly recommend this beautiful ride. Will rent again next trip!

Rent a Tesla with FSD with them for the road trip. Best decision ever! Instructions are clear and hand over, including giving us access thru app, is fuss free. Love the service for making the rental extremely straightforward.

Porsche Panamera 2023

I rented this Porsche as a birthday present for my husband for the day. While I am rating a 5 stars, I did have some feedback. The inside was clean and tidy, nice smooth run. The exterior though needed a wash. At the price we paid for approx 8 hours, it would have nice not to come to the car with bird dropping all over it. Seems like the car may have no moved in some time. Checkin was easy but checkout was a bit complicated as we wanted to return the rental later in the day. While it was confirmed with the host, we had to get Turo involved to get a hold of host to lock the car finally. Everyone was very professional. All in all it was a great experience just some hiccups along the way.

Tesla Cybertruck 2024

I rented this Tesla Cybertruck for a long weekend trip through Arizona, and it was hands-down one of the best car rental experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I booked, everything felt premium and effortless. The Cybertruck itself is a total showstopper. It turns heads everywhere you go—people were literally stopping us to ask questions and take photos. Driving it is an absolute thrill. The acceleration is insane (that instant torque never gets old), the ride is surprisingly smooth and comfortable, and the tech inside is next-level. The massive screen, Autopilot, and all the unique features made every drive feel like the future. It had plenty of space for luggage, groceries, and even some adventure gear. It was also spotlessly clean, fully charged, and in pristine condition when I picked it up. What really made this rental special was the host. This guy is exceptional—he truly cares about his guests and goes the extra mile in every way. His communication was prompt, friendly, and super helpful from the first message. He provided detailed instructions, tips for getting the most out of the truck, and even left a welcome package with snacks, water, and a nice note. When I had a small question about one of the features, he responded instantly. The pickup and drop-off process was seamless and flexible, and you can tell he takes real pride in his vehicle. It’s clear he wants every renter to have an unforgettable experience, and that level of care really shows. If you’re thinking about renting a Cybertruck, stop thinking and just do it—especially with this host. You won’t regret it. This is how car rentals should be done. 10/10 would rent again in a heartbeat! Thank you again for an amazing time!

The host was beyond exceptional. From the timely communication to the constant reassurance making sure everything was up to par. It was greatly appreciated! My son was happy that he was able to have this vehicle for prom. The price was affordable and the host was very friendly and helpful with clear instructions ensuring that I comprehend its use and that I am comfortable enough to drive. Also, when dropping off, he was very understanding and flexible. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you for such a smooth and great experience!

Tesla Model 3 2024

Let me just start out by saying that if you plan on visiting South Florida and want to rent a car thru Turo, you HAVE to rent from Brigitte and Juan. These are not just owners with one or two cars that they rent out - This is their business! They have an entire fleet of high end, luxury cars that are top notch. Their service is bar none - THE BEST.! Throughout my 9 day trip, Brigitte was always available and answered any questions that I had. On top of that, the pick-up and drop-off at FLL Airport was flawless. Now for the car - I am a huge “car guy” with some very high end luxury cars in my own stable, but Tesla is something I always felt was not up to par with the likes of BMW M, MB AMG, Porsche, Land Rover/Range Rover, etc., but I was wrong with this beast. This 2024 Performance 3 with every option including FSD is a monster! The car is immaculate and drives like a true sports car. It even has “Track Mode” which allows you to control understeer and oversteer of the car, “Drift Mode” and also allows for lap times on the track. The suspension, handling, torque and overall appearance are stunning. In the end, my wife was so impressed, we are now looking to buy this exact car in a 2025 and add it to our stable. Thank you Brigitte and Juan - We will never rent from anyone else in South Florida - you have our business forever!
