Recent reviews
I recently rented a Corvette C8 from S&G, and the experience was exceptional. The car’s mid-engine V8 delivers thrilling performance, while its sleek design turns heads. Inside, the comfortable and high-tech interior enhances the driving experience. S&G’s seamless rental process made it easy to enjoy this remarkable vehicle.
We appreciated the details shared before, during, and after the rental process to ensure that the rental process was comforting. The Tesla Model X was clean and functioned normally. The host was very communicative and made sure all questions were answered in a timely manner. This is the second time I have used this host and will continue to do so in the future. Quality vehicles and quality service.
I rented the Porsche 911 for a friend's wedding day, and it was an unforgettable experience. The car is a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and style, making it a showstopper for any special occasion. The sleek design of the Porsche 911 turned heads everywhere we went, and the interior exuded elegance and comfort. Driving it was an absolute dream – the handling was precise, and the engine's roar added an exhilarating touch to the day's celebrations. It truly felt like we were riding in a car built for moments that deserve to be remembered. The car was spotless inside and out, showcasing the owner's attention to detail and care for their vehicle. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the host was professional, friendly, and accommodating, ensuring the whole process was stress-free. If you're looking for a vehicle that combines sophistication with thrill and will elevate any event, I cannot recommend the Porsche 911 enough. It was a fantastic choice for such a special day, and we couldn’t have been happier!
I had a fantastic experience renting through Turo! The car was in excellent condition, drove perfectly, and truly was the cherry on top for our vacation. It added convenience and comfort, making our trip even more enjoyable. One thing to note: you are required to pay for parking upon both pickup and drop-off, which can cost up to $72. While this wasn’t a dealbreaker for us, it’s something to keep in mind when budgeting. Overall, I highly recommend booking for anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable car rental experience!”
As ever this host can’t do enough to make it a great rental experience. Really great. And what’s not to love about a sporty roadster on California roads. Perfect.
Matt was a great host who made pick up and drop off really easy. He's a consummate professional and totally honest about the car and Turo policies. He was also very flexible when my rental time has to change a bit. The car itself was great to drive and delivered in clean condition. Would definitely rent again from Matt!
The car was amazing! This was absolutely the best way to tour the bay. Kent was great to work with. I'll rent from him every time I come here. I couldn't ask for a better experience.
Had an awesome weekend with this MX5. Pickup was super easy, and the owner was very communicative throughout. The car was in excellent condition—well taken care of and an absolute blast to drive. Would rent again in a heartbeat.
Best rental I’ve had would definitely recommend anything you ask he replies in a timely manner
