This was the first time I used Turo and I loved the simplicity of paying for the rental, the best low cost, clean, well-maintained and easily found the vehicle by using the Turo app along with being able to text the owner if needed. I was able to pick the type of vehicle near me to rent. The vehicle was simple, hassle free to pick up and return. I met the host and they were professional, friendly and I will only use Turo when renting again. Love this concept and the price!

Just wrapped up an amazing experience renting this Range Rover and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. The vehicle was absolutely spotless, drove like a dream, and turned heads everywhere we went. Smooth ride, luxury feel, and incredibly comfortable whether cruising around town or taking longer trips. The entire rental process was easy, professional, and stress-free from start to finish. You can tell the owner really takes pride in keeping the vehicle in top condition. Without question, I’ll definitely be renting this Range Rover again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxury SUV experience done the right way at a affordable price.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Turo Experience with Rodney and His Land Rover I had an excellent experience renting Rodney's Land Rover through Turo. From start to finish, Rodney was professional, courteous, and extremely detailed in explaining everything about the vehicle and rental process. The Land Rover was delivered in immaculate condition—spotlessly clean inside and out, well-maintained, and exactly as advertised. It was clear that Rodney takes great pride in providing a quality vehicle and exceptional customer service. The SUV drove beautifully, and every feature was in excellent working condition. My family and I had a wonderful time using the rental. The vehicle was comfortable, reliable, and made our trip even more enjoyable. Rodney was responsive, easy to communicate with, and ensured that everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Rodney to anyone looking for a premium rental experience. If you're considering renting his Land Rover, you won't be disappointed. We were extremely satisfied and would gladly rent from him again in the future. Thank you, Rodney, for providing such a first-class experience! 🚙⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tesla Model Y 2023

This was easily one of the best rental experiences I have ever had. The red Tesla Model Y with the beautiful white interior was absolutely stunning, spotless, fresh, comfortable, and a joy to drive. The car felt premium in every way, and having Full Self-Driving included at no extra cost made the experience even more special. For the price, this is an incredible value and honestly much better than my usual Avis, Enterprise, or other traditional rental bookings. Jay and Kam were outstanding hosts. They delivered the car before the scheduled time, made the pickup and return completely smooth, and took the time to explain everything about the car in detail. They are true Tesla enthusiasts and former Tesla employees, and their knowledge really shows. As first-time users of Tesla’s self-driving features, their guidance made us feel comfortable, confident, and able to enjoy the car to the fullest. One thing that really stood out was the thoughtful refreshments they provided for us. That small gesture made a big difference and immediately showed how much they care about their guests. I have never experienced that level of hospitality with any other rental before. It felt less like a regular car rental and more like a carefully prepared premium experience. Communication was excellent throughout the trip. They were friendly, responsive, and available anytime we had a question. The entire experience was stress-free from start to finish, and the car was perfect for enjoying Seattle and the surrounding areas. Amazing car, great price, and truly super helpful hosts. I would definitely rent from them again in the future and highly recommend this Tesla to anyone looking for the best Turo experience in Seattle. 5/5!

We come to Oahu quite a bit, and this rental worked out perfectly for our family. We were moving our daughter out of her dorm for the summer, so having a comfortable SUV with plenty of storage space in the back made a huge difference. It handled luggage, boxes, and beach gear easily without everyone feeling cramped. The vehicle itself was clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and very easy to drive around the island. Whether we were running errands in town or spending the day exploring different parts of Oahu, it was reliable and enjoyable the entire trip. Compared to the major rental companies where even tiny cars can cost a fortune in Hawaii, this was a much better value. We’ve also used Hui before, but if you’re out exploring for more than a couple hours, the cost adds up fast. Having this vehicle available the whole trip gave us way more flexibility and convenience without the stress. Would absolutely rent again next time we’re on the island. Highly recommend!

360 Team Advisors provided an outstanding Turo experience from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the trip, and the vehicle was exactly as described—clean, reliable, comfortable, and ready to go upon pickup. We used the vehicle for an extensive multi-state family road trip covering Washington, D.C., Maryland, Georgia, and Florida, and it performed flawlessly the entire journey. It was comfortable for long-distance travel, dependable, and made our family vacation significantly easier and more enjoyable. The team was professional, responsive, and provided clear instructions throughout the rental process. Pickup and return were both smooth and hassle-free, which is especially appreciated after a long road trip. I would absolutely rent from 360 Team Advisors again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality vehicle and a professional, stress-free Turo experience. Thank you again for helping make our family vacation a success!

First time using Turo and the experience was perfect! Great car, very clean. Couldn't beat the price especially with it being a newer model car and also my previous reservation canceled on me in less than 24hrs. Blessed to have experienced this opportunity. Will rent again in the future if need be. Juan was very professional, welcoming and informative. 10/10.

Jose was an absolutely amazing host. We had an issue with the lockbox during pickup which ended up costing me an extra Uber ride plus Turo increased the price $45 on top of the original reservation price when it was rebooked which was pretty frustrating but Jose went WAY above and beyond to get everything situated after Turo cancelled the reservation and left me stranded in an unfamiliar state with no transportation. He was very friendly, communicated prompt and went out of his way to help me correct the issue. Truly grateful for his help. If I'm ever in Warrick again, I'd look to rent from him without hesitation.

The rental process was easy from start to finish. Communication was great, and the owner was pleasant and professional to work with. The vehicle was clean and met my needs for the price. My only feedback is that the car seemed to make a noticeable noise whenever it went over 30 mph, almost as if it was working hard to reach higher speeds. Other than that, everything was great, and I had a positive experience overall. Thank you for a smooth and hassle-free rental!

Igor was fantastic, the car was a complete joy to drive and Igor has gone out of his was to add some nice touches, a cooler with drinks and ice when you pick up the vehicle, an umbrella, and a charging power cord. The car was well beyond clean and tidy, by far the best Turo I've ever rented. The price was reasonable and was able to extend my reservation a few times was supposed to have for 2-3 days ended up with 7-8. I would highly recommend this vehicle and this host 5 out 5 stars top notch.

Tesla Model Y 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with my experience renting this Tesla Model Y! The vehicle was spotless, perfectly maintained, and performed flawlessly throughout our entire trip. The Full Self-Driving technology was absolutely incredible. We drove along the California coast, through busy congested city traffic, active construction zones, and crowded tourist areas, and the system handled everything with impressive confidence and smoothness. It made long drives far more relaxing and enjoyable than I ever expected. The car itself was comfortable, efficient, and a pleasure to drive. Everything worked exactly as it should, and the vehicle was delivered in excellent condition. On top of that, the host provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. Communication was prompt, professional, and helpful throughout the rental process. If you’re considering renting a Tesla Model Y with Full Self-Driving, don’t hesitate. This was one of the best rental experiences I’ve ever had, and I would gladly rent from this host again. Highly recommended!

Volkswagen Tiguan 2024

Car was great! Good on gas for a 3 row VW SUV. Relatively low miles at 29.6k. Clean inside and outside. It already had a few minor dents, but definitely one of the cleanest rentals we’ve had. It was extremely convenient to pick up and drop off. We met Richard at the terminal when dropping off which was so nice not having to deal with major car rental agency drop off/shuttle to the airport. They were on time and very polite. Would definitely rent from MOVA Car Rental LLC again!

Top tips for renting an SUV in Ashland Virginia

Book your SUV rental early on Turo to secure the best vehicle options, especially during peak travel seasons and college events. Look for rental SUVs with features like all-wheel drive for Virginia's varied terrain, backup cameras for easier parking in downtown areas, and ample cargo space for family trips or shopping excursions. Consider vehicles with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for navigation assistance, and if traveling with children, confirm availability of car seats or plan to bring your own.

Frequently asked questions in Ashland

Why choose an SUV for exploring Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains?

Rental SUVs provide elevated seating that enhances visibility of Virginia's scenic mountain vistas and wildlife along Blue Ridge Parkway routes. The higher ground clearance helps navigate steeper mountain driveways and gravel paths leading to hiking trailheads near Ashland. SUV rental options deliver the cargo space needed for camping gear, hiking equipment, and supplies for extended mountain adventures.

How do you handle an SUV on winding mountain roads?

Reduce speed before entering curves and maintain steady acceleration through turns to keep your rental SUV stable on mountain switchbacks. Use lower gears when descending steep grades to control speed without overusing brakes. Your car rental's electronic stability control helps maintain traction on Virginia's winding mountain routes, especially during autumn when leaves create slippery conditions.

What makes SUVs ideal for Virginia's changing weather patterns?

All-wheel drive capability in many rental SUV models provides enhanced traction during Virginia's sudden spring thunderstorms and winter weather events. Higher ground clearance helps navigate through standing water that can accumulate on roads around Ashland during heavy rainfall. The enclosed cargo area protects gear and supplies from Virginia's unpredictable weather while exploring the region.

Which destinations near Ashland are perfect for SUV adventures?

Shenandoah National Park offers numerous scenic overlooks and hiking trail access points that benefit from rental SUV ground clearance and cargo capacity. The historic town of Orange provides charming downtown exploration with easy SUV parking for visiting local attractions. Richmond's diverse neighborhoods and James River parks are easily accessible with an SUV rental for comfortable family outings.

Are compact SUVs or full-size SUVs better for family trips?

Compact rental SUVs work well for couples or small families exploring Ashland's downtown area and nearby attractions with easier parking and better fuel efficiency. Full-size rental SUVs accommodate larger families with extensive luggage and provide more comfort for longer drives through Virginia's countryside. Consider your group size and planned activities when selecting your car rental for the best experience.

What SUV safety features matter most for mountain driving?

Electronic stability control helps prevent skidding on Virginia's mountain curves, while anti-lock braking systems maintain steering control during emergency stops. Hill descent control assists with maintaining safe speeds on steep mountain grades without brake overheating. Modern rental SUVs include multiple airbags and reinforced frames that provide enhanced protection during mountain driving adventures around Ashland.
