Clean car, easy to drive, quick response by host during pick up. Would use again
The car and communication was fantastic. David even left a small gift bag (with my name it 😁) that had water, a snack, gum and a few other items. They went above and beyond to make my experience great!!
Great trip! Julie responded quickly, was very thorough, and was understanding when we were running late for drop off. The car ran great with no issues and was perfect and spacious for our whole family. Thanks Julie and family!
Ivan was so gracious to rent me his vehicle at the absolute last minute, as we were visiting from out-of-town and experiencing emergency car trouble. We are so very thankful that he was able to accommodate me and my family. My three year old cried when I said we had to give the van back! They loved it, too. :)
The car was exactly what I needed, and the whole experience was quick, simple and much less hassle than big car rental companies
David is honestly the best person to deal with. Don’t look anywhere else for a rental!
Ivan was wonderful to work with. The van was exactly as described and worked perfect for our vacation. Ivan was helpful and communicative!
Everything was ABSOLUTELY GREAT! Host was very professional with great contact skills as well as a very nice vehicle. I would definitely recommend this Host and his vehicle as well as rent again! Thanks so much and thanks for the gifts as well!
My experience with Turo and specifically ColesFamilyCars was amazing. I was in a terrible bind and needed a car immediately. The car was perfect, all of the pictures were representative, the host was communicative and very understanding as I had to make some last minute adjustments. I 100% recommend Turo and ColesFamilyCars and will use them in the future.
Great experience! Renting another car from them right now since they were such good hosts. Great communication and they go the extra mile on hospitality.
Best Toro rental experience so far! Will be definitely using for all future rentals! Highly recommend!
