⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a great experience renting this vehicle! I booked a last-minute trip, and the host made everything quick, easy, and efficient. The response time was amazing, communication was smooth, and the entire process was stress-free. The car was clean, spacious, and drove like a dream. It was the perfect vehicle for my day trip with my daughter for her 12th birthday and truly helped make the day special. The ride was smooth, comfortable, and had plenty of space for everything we needed. The price was great, the host was very nice and easy to communicate with, and I would definitely rent from them again. Highly recommend! 🚗✨
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fernando was an outstanding host. The car was spotless, well maintained, and exactly as described. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the entire rental process was smooth and hassle free. He was friendly, responsive, and made everything easy. I would definitely rent from Fernando again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and exceptional service. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic host! The pickup process was easy, seamless, and very accommodating from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the trip. the host was responsive, friendly, and great to work with. The Tesla was amazing, and experiencing the Full Self-Driving feature made this an unforgettable birthday trip. Charging was surprisingly simple and, in my opinion, much easier and more convenient than refueling with gas. Unfortunately, as I was exiting the highway behind an Amazon delivery van, a rock was thrown from the van’s path and struck the windshield, causing a crack. I was heartbroken because I’m very particular about my own belongings, and I treat anything I rent with that same level of care and respect. I immediately reported it and did everything I could to address the situation during the trip, and I’m confident everything will be worked out through the proper process. This truly was an incredible birthday experience. Even my youngest cried when it was time to return the Tesla because he loved it so much! That alone says how much we all enjoyed the experience. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to rent from such an outstanding host. I would absolutely rent from them again without hesitation and highly recommend this host to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable Tesla experience. Thank you again for helping make my birthday so memorable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Everything was great. The only criticism I have is that I wish the car were delivered earlier. That way I could have been at the car at pick up rather than just making my way. I ended up starting my trip an hour late because I didn't get the car location until pick up time, If I had gotten the location at least 30 minutes earlier, I would have been able to start on time. The car was very nice. A great ride. Very clean. Great setup.
The host was A1 amazing. Pickup at the gas station is a god-send because it was so convenient and dropping off since you’re able to fill up. The car is very nice and very new which is a plus. However, this car was not the best car for long distance travel. It drives rather jerkily, the interior ride sound is loud, and there is not much absorption of highway bumps in the rear of the car. The interior mechanisms were mostly manual - seat adjustment, etc. There are no vents and no charging ports for the rear passengers. The Bluetooth connectors aren’t very user friendly and when CarPlay connects, the audio system automatically balances all sound to the front and silences sound in the rear. The highway MPG was limited but the gas tank seemed pretty small. So again, the host was awesome-responsive and very accommodating. But this car was not the best for a road trip. The host seems to have other cars so I would rent from the host again, just not this car.
I recently had the pleasure of renting a BMW X5M from Badia on the Turo app, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we arranged the rental, Badia provided **top-notch customer service**. The drop-off and pick-up process was incredibly smooth, making it effortless to get started with our trip. Badia was punctual and communicated clearly, which really set the tone for the rental. As for the car itself, the BMW X5M ran like a dream. It was well-maintained, clean, and handled beautifully on the road. The performance was impressive, making our drives both fun and comfortable. Overall, I highly recommend renting from Badia. The combination of a fantastic vehicle and excellent service made this a standout experience. I’ll definitely be looking to rent from them again in the future!
We had a great experience with this truck! It ran perfectly, was very clean, spacious, and made our family road trip comfortable from start to finish. Pickup was quick and easy, and the instructions for accessing the vehicle were clear and simple to follow. The only minor thing we noticed was a slight mildew-like smell inside the truck, which may have been from recently cleaning the carpets. It wasn’t enough to take away from our trip, though. Overall, we really enjoyed the truck and would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you for a great rental experience!
The car was easy to gain access to the instructions were clear and precise. The car ran well and I will book again it was in a safe and clean location. I would definitely book again as long as the Price Is Right 😁
The car had a clean interior and drove smoothly. The host was very responsive, communicated clearly, and was accommodating. I booked the trip last minute, and he messaged right back saying he would drop off the car at the selected time (36 hours later) and included the rental guidelines. Easy to extend rental if needed. Would rent again.
Very helpful, convenient and easygoing person with very clean and neat new car. The price was good and I recommend to use equinox 2026 by Lewis
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars Had a great experience renting this BMW X6. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and drove exactly as expected. It had plenty of power, a comfortable interior, and made for a smooth ride the entire trip. Pickup and return were easy, and everything went seamlessly. Would definitely rent this X6 again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury SUV.
Daniel provided excellent communication immediately after I made the vehicle reservation and remained responsive throughout the entire trip. He also gave very helpful guidance regarding charging the vehicle and parking ideas while visiting DC, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. The car itself was clean, sporty, comfortable, and very well maintained. Everything worked exactly as expected, and the pickup and return process was simple and convenient. I truly appreciated the professionalism and overall experience, and I would absolutely rent from Daniel again in the future.
This was an amazing rental experience! The car was in excellent condition, super clean, and very well maintained. Ben responded to my messages almost instantly and was always friendly and helpful. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely rent this car again anytime I need one in the future. I'm so happy I chose this car. 100/100—I highly recommend it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great host, vehicle great on gas. Highly recommend for any trip. We will return to the area with a month and will definitely rent again!!! Thanks for everything, see you soon.
Joshua’s 2021 Porsche Macan performed as you’d think a Porsche would. Smooth comfortable and very capable. Ample room for a family of four and our luggage. It was surprisingly great on gas. We only filled up once on our 5 day trip. My family had an amazing time on our trip, and driving a Porsche made it that much more amazing. Thank you to Joshua and the whole team for making our trip memorable.
Everything was great about this trip. The vehicle quality was exceptional, and the location was very convenient. The host communication was top-notch. I will definitely rent again if ever I’m in this area.
Love the car great good condition and very smooth. Great for a family trip.
Excellent SUV!!. Luxurious and fast..only con is frequent charging for long road trips. Other than that stunning vehicle and great host! I highly recommend him. I will definitely rent this truck again👌🏾🔥
Exploring Washington's iconic attractions and scenic routes from Reagan National Airport
From Reagan National Airport, you'll have easy access to some of America's most treasured landmarks and cultural destinations. The National Mall beckons with its world-famous monuments, while neighborhoods like Alexandria offer historic charm along the waterfront. An SUV enhances your Washington experience by providing elevated views of the city's impressive architecture and comfortable seating for longer drives to destinations like Mount Vernon or Shenandoah National Park. The vehicle's spacious interior accommodates everything from camera equipment for monument photography to shopping bags from local markets.
Lincoln Memorial and National Mall monuments
The Lincoln Memorial stands as one of Washington's most moving tributes, anchoring the western end of the National Mall alongside the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Korean War Veterans Memorial. Your SUV offers convenient access to various parking areas around the memorial complex, though spaces fill quickly during peak tourist seasons. The elevated seating position provides excellent views of the Reflecting Pool and Washington Monument as you approach. Consider visiting during early morning or evening hours when the monuments are beautifully illuminated and parking becomes more readily available throughout the surrounding streets.
Georgetown's historic waterfront and shopping district
Georgetown's cobblestone streets and Federal-style architecture create a picturesque backdrop for an afternoon of exploration. The neighborhood's waterfront park offers stunning Potomac River views, while M Street and Wisconsin Avenue feature boutique shopping and diverse dining options. Parking in Georgetown can be challenging, so arrive early to secure street parking or utilize one of the neighborhood's parking garages. The historic C&O Canal towpath begins here, providing a scenic walking route that stretches for miles along the river.
Smithsonian Institution museums and cultural experiences
The Smithsonian's collection of world-class museums lines the National Mall, offering everything from natural history specimens to aerospace artifacts and American cultural treasures.

Each museum requires several hours to explore properly, making comfortable transportation between locations essential for a full cultural experience.

The changing of the guard ceremony occurs every hour during peak seasons, creating a moving tribute that resonates with visitors of all backgrounds.
