⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Excellent Turo Experience! We had an absolutely wonderful experience renting from Vadim! From beginning to end, he was professional, friendly, responsive, and extremely accommodating. The Kia Carnival was perfect for our trip, and the entire rental process was smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was Vadim's willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Due to unexpected flight delays and changes in our travel plans, we needed to adjust our original drop-off location. Vadim was incredibly understanding and graciously allowed us to change the return location to Tampa International Airport, making our departure so much easier and more convenient. That level of flexibility and customer service truly makes a difference, especially when traveling with family and dealing with unexpected airline delays. It's refreshing to rent from someone who genuinely cares about providing a great experience rather than just renting out a vehicle. I highly recommend Vadim to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and exceptional customer service! We truly appreciate his kindness, patience, and willingness to work with us. We would absolutely rent from him again without hesitation! Thank you, Vadim, for making our Florida trip that much easier! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Car worked well. Driving it was enjoyable and comfortable. It easily fit five adults, a child in a car seat and travel items and felt spacious. It was a great car for our road trip across states. It had a lot of available space to store luggage. I had to get used to the acceleration. When first pressing the gas pedal, the car doesn’t move. You have to press more for the car to move. No big deal though. AC was cold and worked fairly well. It didn’t seem to blow as powerfully in the back of the car as it did in the front. It was nice that our child was able to watch dvds using the small pull-down tv screen. The car was not as clean as would be desired, but the cleanliness was adequate. A couple of minor quirks occurred occasionally. The alert for the right bumper being close to an object occurred multiple times and the sound lasted for a couple minutes at most. It would resolve on own. The price of the rental seemed to be a great deal. Pick up and drop off was easy and straight forward. Host was accommodating in terms of trip extension requests, but could have been more communicative. All of the host’s Turo messages seemed auto-generated and my couple of personal Turo messages were not addressed. Overall, it worked well for my family. Willing to stretch to give 5 stars due to all the good aspects.
For price it was exactly what I expected! Host got right back to me when I needed to reach out to her. Definitely a well loved ride that does what it needs!
An excellent experience from start to finish! The car was exceptionally clean, beautifully prepared, and exactly as described. Everything went smoothly, and our host was professional, kind, and welcoming. It was truly a pleasure renting from her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She will always be our first choice whenever we need a rental in the area, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for making our trip so easy and enjoyable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a fabulous experience! The van was pristine and had a smooth ride that made our trip very comfortable for all. I had great gas mileage as well. The owner was very kind and super responsive. When I am back in the area, I will definitely rent from her again. Thanks for the great trip!
This was our first time ever renting a vehicle on Turo and the host was very attentive and made the process easy! The van was clean, up to date on oil change and it was amazing on gas for our family road trip! We comfortably fit a car seat and 5 adults comfortably with room for at least one more! I would definitely rent from this host again! Thanks so much!!
Our family enjoyed renting this van during our vacation in Tampa. Pick up and drop off at the airport was easy and seamless. The instructions were clear. The car was as pictured. It was perfect for what we needed it for. Vlad was quick to respond. I noticed a headlight was not working after pick up and he offered to meet us to fix it. I'd rent from Vlad again in the future.
Thank you so much for accommodating our family vacation! We appreciate it very much! I would give a 10 star if I could, great service and will definitely rent from Sophia again!
Picked up at the Tampa airport. Clear directions to the parking spot. Car was clean. Little banged up on the outside for a 2024 with more than one large dent. Inside was very clean and nice. We managed to squeeze in four adults and three kids (including 2 booster seats) and all our luggage. A little disappointed that it cost us $22 to remove from the economy parking garage at the airport. I wish that this was disclosed better within the app prior to booking. Overall was faster than a traditional rental car and saved us a little money over booking with them also. Thanks!
Great car, as described, no issues, owner was very communicative. Apparently due to TPA restrictions on owners, you’ll have to take two trams and a few long walks with luggage and little ones to get to the car. Not ideal. Other than that, a great rental!
The car was in great shape, as expected. The host was great at responding to my questions in a timely manner. Would rent again!
Great experience, Damir was very responsive and instructions were thorough. Car was clean, functioned well, lots of room! Great for a group. Truly made our trip.
Host made pick up and drop off very easy. Host was very responsive throughout the trip.
Pick up was easy and so was the return. Great car for a road trip. Would book again!
