Had the honor of being Caleb’s very first Turo renter and the experience was amazing. Caleb was extremely friendly, responsive, and made everything smooth from start to finish. The Tesla was super clean, well maintained, and exactly as described. You would never guess he’s new to hosting because he handled everything professionally. I’m glad I could be his first renter and I’ll definitely book with him again next time I’m in Houston. Highly recommend supporting Caleb on his Turo journey!
