This was by far one of the best Turo experiences we’ve had. The Kia Carnival was brand new, spotless, and the perfect vehicle for our family trip. The convenience, comfort, and overall condition of the vehicle made traveling around the island so enjoyable. One of the things we appreciated most was that the host provided a car seat at no extra charge. It saved us the hassle of traveling with one and made our trip so much easier. The hosts also went above and beyond by providing a thoughtful guide with recommendations for restaurants, local attractions, and places to visit. We actually used several of their suggestions, and they were fantastic. It was such a personal touch that made us feel welcomed and helped us make the most of our vacation. What truly set this experience apart, though, was their exceptional kindness and customer service. We accidentally left sunglasses in the vehicle after we had already arrived at the airport. The host immediately messaged us, and to our surprise, drove all the way to the airport to return them before our flight. That level of thoughtfulness and generosity was completely unexpected and incredibly appreciated. If you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable vehicle and hosts who genuinely care about their guests, I can’t recommend them highly enough. We would absolutely rent from them again!
Great rental! The car was easy to find and very fuel-efficient, which made the trip even better. Chris was very communicative throughout the entire process and made everything smooth and hassle-free. I'd definitely rent from him again!
This was a last minute booking because my original reservation cancelled on me 2 days prior. Despite the short notice Gab was able to accommodate to our needs. When I got the van it was so clean! Looks like everything was newly detailed and really prepared for our pick up. You can tell he put in the work to ensure the best type of pick up. Gab was so easy to work with and I highly recommend him to the entire Turo community. Definitely going to rent from him again. Maraming salamat, kaibigan! Aloha.
Great experience. Easy pick up and drop off with the shuttle to the Turo lot. The minivan was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 sets of golf clubs. Great communication, we would rent again.
Highly recommended Turo, Gab has true hospitality and is a great communicator. His van was perfect for our trip and will save you tons of wait time instead of renting at the local car rental companies!
If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Dylan was an absolute lifesaver throughout our entire rental experience. From the moment we picked up the car, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. But where he really went above and beyond was when we had a blowout on the highway. Instead of leaving us stressed and stranded, Dylan made the whole situation surprisingly easy. He handled everything quickly, checked in to make sure we were safe, and got us back on the road with zero hassle. It’s rare to find customer service this thoughtful and dependable. If you’re renting a car through Turo, ask for Dylan he truly made our trip so much smoother.
Sarah’s minivan was perfect for our trip. It drives great, holds a lot of stuff, and runs perfect. Sarah was great at communicating and overall it was a wonderful experience.
Very responsive owner. Clean and reliable car. No issues. Can’t beat a minivan on a family trip!
We had a great experience with the van on our trip to Kauai! All messages had a quick responses and Christopher was an awesome host. He even called to check that everything was good. We appreciated his communication so much!!
Great communication and a great car! Will rent from Tim next time we are on Kauai!
Host was very receptive and explained all details we needed. Car was in great shape and fit all 7 of us plus luggage just fine. It was easy to drive and very comfortable. Would rent from him again. Only down side is construction,
Everything went well. The minivan was perfect for our group of 5 to spread out and relax while exploring the island instead of being packed into a car like a can of sardines!
A great trip, great van, perfect for the family and an extended stay!! Benson is awesome!!
Everything was just as expected. The car was wonderful and perfect for our large group. Communication was great throughout the whole trip.
Excellent all around. Easy rental. Turo drop was simple. And host was great
Car was great! Better than expected fuel efficiency… Would absolutely rent again! Thank you so much
