Easy pickup. Easy communication. Easy to add extra days. Affordable. Clean. No hassle will definitely rent again.
USE HIM TO RENT CARS. responses are within minutes, Makes everything simple for you, flexible with pickup and drop-off, amazing customer service, and overall 10/10. As long as theres a vehicle for you, use him to rent.
This type of car is exactly why I love using Turo. We also have a Dodge Caravan at home, and hate using the general national companies because you always end up with a futuristic car with too many buttons and weird settings - and I personally feel on nerve turning it in wondering if we left something behind or if a microscopic issue might arrise "that wasn't there before." With Turo, we get the option of having the same (older model) car in decently-kept condition. This rental truly eased my anxiety just seeing how well taken-care of it was! Car quality was TOP NOTCH- no joke at ALL. It was so clean- even our kiddos were impressed! It looked and smelled like it just rolled off the factory lot, it was spotless and had absolutely no issues. Michael was fantastic with communication (basically immediate and incredibly proactive), and flexible as well. You can tell her takes his responsibility as a car host for Turo seriously- it was a PERFECT vehicle and overall 5-star service. We absolutely will be looking to book with this vehicle/Michael for next summer. Thank you!
Easy pick up. Clean car. Owner was attentive and answered any questions in a timely manner. Would rent again.
The car is 10/10 it’s easy to book it. The trip is very smooth using this car
Van is clean & runs great. Our host is awesome, quick to respond, & let me know the app allows me to pick up 15 minutes early (which worked out great for me because I had my son). This is the only location & host I want to rent from every time, whether it's a car or van.
This was honestly the best Turo experience I’ve ever had! The car was extremely clean, well maintained, and exactly as described. Our host was incredibly helpful, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire rental. Communication was excellent, and they made the whole process so easy and stress free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely rent from them again!
The car was perfect for our needs. Looked brand new and the host was very kind and friendly! Thanks so much for use of the car to get our big group on and off base for BMT graduation!
The car was crispy clean and drove great, we had a group of people we were traveling with and it was perfect for us. Antonio was great to work with, professional and responded promptly to all of our needs. Highly recommend you go with him!!!
It worked perfectly well for me and my family. I highly recomend this option.
William was great. Vehicle was very clean and well maintained. Would 10/10 recommend using one of his vehicles again.
The process was so smooth and owner communicates well. Rides great, kids loved it!!! Thank you!!
This was a amazing van for my family. The reservation staff was outstanding and accommodating. We thank you for your service!
Johnny is the best host! The Toyota Sienna ran like a charm was large enough for the family and then some. Van was clean and A/C was cold! We came to San Antonio for our daughter's Airforce Graduation. A wonderful prior customer(thank you) of Johnny's had left seat cushions and umbrellas and Johnny made sure to check if we need them. Boy did we ever. Saved us time and money by offering them to us. I would definitely rent from Johnny again. Pickup and delivery of van was simple and straightforward with detailed instructions that he provided. Thank you Johnny for making our San Antonio Trip easy!
