This minivan is very fuel efficient. We avg over 30mpg during our 700 miles trip. Host is responsive and courteous.
Ronald was the best! He went above and beyond and we are so thankful. We would recommend him and the van over and over. We also had a car seat and a booster and everything was in perfect condition! You'll be so happy choosing this!
Riaz was super responsive and easy to deal with. Car is perfect for a weekend in the city for a large family. The car is showing its age but well maintained and very comfortable
Great service and car was as described. Perfect vehicle to make a trip up to Vassar for graduation! Chunhe was also a great communicator and always responsive.
Awesome host! Great pick-up and drop-off at the airport service. Super responsive. Car is ready for traveling with EZ-Pass (no mark up!), lighting connector cable. Highly recommended to rent!
Honestly the easiest pick up and drop off in all my turo experience! Liang was very easy to communicate with and made the entire process flawless for me and my family! Will definitely be using his services again
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I recently rented a 2016 Dodge Caravan for an 8-day trip, and I can’t recommend it enough! The experience was fantastic from the start. First off, the caravan was in excellent condition—clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our needs. As a family traveling with three car seats, I was relieved to find ample space in the interior. The seats were comfortable, and there was plenty of room for everyone and our luggage. Driving the Caravan was a breeze. It handled beautifully on the road, making our long drives enjoyable. The sliding doors were a game changer for getting the kids in and out easily, especially when parked in tight spots. The rental process was smooth and hassle-free. Mindi was welcoming and informative, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great trip. Mindi even provided recommendations for family-friendly attractions, which made our travel planning easier. Overall, I had an outstanding experience with this rental and would absolutely rent the Dodge Caravan again. It’s a perfect choice for families!
Amazing host and the van was super clean, nice and perfect for a large family. The owner was very very willing to accommodate us w 2 car seats
This van was great and sooo easy to pick up and drop off. Highly recommend. Would use again every time. 10/10
Fantastic car- exactly what we needed. No frills with plenty of seats and storage space. Serhat did maintenance ahead of time to ensure a smooth trip and the car drove flawlessly. Serhat was accommodating and communicative, would definitely rent with him again.
Love this van it help alot with my family trip every one enjoy it will love to rent it again
I wish I could give Han and ChunHe ten stars. I had the most fantastic experience renting from them. We had an absolute disaster of a flight into JFK, it was delayed for 8 hours, but in 30 minute increments. My flight was only an hour, so I know this was a horrible inconvenience for Chunhe, who was meeting us at arrivals to deliver the vehicle. At midnight, I watched all the passengers around me freak out because their big chain rentals were cancelled, but ChunHe kept in touch and was there waiting for us when we got in at 1:30am! Pick up was seamless, he handed us the keys and we loaded up and left. The car was in fantastic condition. I always rent Honda Odysseys when I travel because we have one at home so I know my 4 kids' carseats fit in them, and this one was in the best condition I've seen. They also have a cable that allows for apple and Android auto, which was amazing because my husband and I use different phone types. Dropoff was seamless. It was SO NICE not to have to drop the car off at one of the parking lots, instead we pulled up to departures, unloaded, and handed the keys to ChunHe. I seriously wish I could give more stars because it was the best turo rental I have had. We will definitely rent from them again on our trip next year!
The Kia Carnival was all I hoped. It was roomy, and comfortable. The car drove beautifully. The pick up and drop off worked very well. I would recommend this CFX Rides to anyone. Thank you for making our vacation a smooth one!
Car was in great condition and delivered and picked up to my address as requested. Would def use again.

Frequently asked questions in Valley Stream
Why choose a minivan for your Valley Stream family adventure?
Minivans offer exceptional space for families exploring Valley Stream and surrounding New York areas, with seating for up to eight passengers and generous cargo capacity. The elevated seating position provides excellent visibility when navigating through Long Island City or heading to nearby airports like LaGuardia. These vehicles excel at accommodating strollers, sports equipment, and luggage while ensuring every family member travels comfortably throughout your Valley Stream journey.
What safety features should you prioritize when selecting a minivan?
Look for minivans equipped with blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, essential features when navigating busy New York streets or airport parking areas. Advanced airbag systems and electronic stability control provide crucial protection for larger families traveling through Valley Stream and beyond. Backup cameras and parking sensors prove invaluable when maneuvering in tight spaces around Jamaica or Garden City shopping areas.
How does driving a minivan differ from regular cars?
Minivans require wider turning circles and additional clearance when navigating Valley Stream's residential streets or approaching Newark Airport structures. The higher center of gravity means taking corners more gradually, especially when loaded with passengers and luggage for your New York adventure. Parking requires extra attention to vehicle length and height, particularly important when visiting attractions around Long Island City or stream-side recreational areas.
What are the best packing strategies for minivan road trips?
Utilize the minivan's multiple storage compartments and under-floor storage areas to organize essentials for your Valley Stream exploration efficiently. Place heavier items low and toward the front to maintain proper weight distribution when traveling between New York destinations. Keep frequently needed items like snacks, entertainment, and travel documents easily accessible in door pockets or console areas during your rental period.
How can you maximize comfort during long minivan journeys?
Adjust individual climate zones to accommodate different passenger preferences while traveling through New York's varying weather conditions. Take advantage of the minivan's spacious interior by encouraging passengers to stretch and move around during stops near Valley Stream or Garden City. Utilize built-in entertainment systems and charging ports to keep everyone comfortable during extended drives around the airport areas or stream valley regions.
Which minivan models work best for extended road trips?
Modern minivans with fuel-efficient engines prove ideal for covering the distances between Valley Stream, New York City, and surrounding areas without frequent gas station stops. Models featuring captain's chairs in the second row provide superior comfort for adult passengers during longer journeys around Long Island. Choose vehicles with ample cup holders, storage bins, and easy-access sliding doors for convenient entry and exit at various New York destinations throughout your rental experience.

On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometers you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included."
