Mazda MX-5 Miata 2011

I always wanted a Miata (MX-5). And this is a well-cared-for example at a good price. Close enough to Mesa Airport to use a shared ride (UBER or Lyft or whatever) over...even at after-midnight. Our flight was delayed and the host was very understanding. It is a joy for this time of the year in AZ. Weather was 70s & 80s. Not too hot, not too cold. My only caution is: this is a Sports Car. It is small and nimble and you are very connected to the road. I was surprised at how easy it is to talk top-down at 60 mph. But you will not mistake this for a luxury car on the freeway. YOLO. Go for it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Stars - Incredible Corvette Rental Experience! I had an absolutely fantastic experience renting this Corvette from Kassandra on Turo! From the moment I picked up the car, everything was seamless. Kassandra was an excellent host—communicative, friendly, and professional. She made the process smooth and stress-free, ensuring the car was spotless and ready to go. Now, let's talk about the Corvette itself—this car is a dream! The sleek red exterior, aggressive styling, and powerful performance made every drive an unforgettable experience. Whether cruising through the city or hitting the open road, the Corvette delivered thrilling acceleration, tight handling, and that unmistakable roar of the engine. It turned heads everywhere I went! If you're looking for an exhilarating ride combined with top-tier service, I highly recommend renting from Kassandra. I would absolutely book again!

Tesla Model S 2015

Cameron’s Tesla Model S was great! We rented it for 6 days and had zero issues. It drives very smooth and all the features work great. It looks and feels new. Pickup and drop off at Mesa Gateway Airport was a breeze. The included charging cord can be used in a regular outlet. We just charged the car at our vacation rental each night, so we literally paid no fees for charging for the entire week. Also, Cameron doesn’t require you to bring it back with a full charge, which honestly was very convenient, making the return far less stressful. I highly recommend renting this car from Cameron. He’s extremely responsive, helpful, and great to work with all around!
