The best car rental process and company. Excellent service and beautiful car. I will definitely rent again.
First timer with this rental process. Was great, car was perfect. Appreciate how helpful and flexible the rental team was as I was navigating my first car rental.
Great host and seamless experience. Car was as advertised, price was fair, and host was very responsive. Pick up and drop off was a breeze
Car met my price point and was good on fuel. Could use a little detailing in the cup holders but over all good condition.
Host was super accommodating to a last minute reservation change. Car was great, no issues.
Phenomenal vehicle! Runs smooth, the host was amazing. Instructions on how to get to the vehicle was very easy and detailed. Super super clean inside and out. I will definitely rent again. The best Turo rental I've experienced
Brad and his wife are the best! As soon as we booked the vehicle they reached out ensuring that we had all the details of the reservation. The awesome customer service didn’t stop there, as soon as we landed Brad sent a text ensuring that he would meet us at the arrival doors of the airport. The check-ins throughout the rental time to make sure everything was running perfectly was an added layer of stellar customer service. I will always rent with Brad and Jana anytime I visit my home town.
Great trip. Ali was quick to respond and sent the lockbox code right after we landed, so pickup at DTW was easy. The Discovery was a great ride for the weekend, and the return was simple. Would rent from Ali again.
Great rental. Picked up at Big Blue long Term parking lot. Easy check in, the keys are stored in a lockbox. Great communication and fast response. Great driving and car was practically new. Definitely will rent with them again. Thank you for the good service.
Great experience with Francisko and the 2026 Chevy Trailblazer. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and drove great. It was exactly as described and got good gas mileage. Francisko was a great host—professional, responsive, and made the entire rental process easy and smooth. I would definitely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle on Turo.
The customer service with RR was amazing on all fronts. They were excellent communicators and stayed in touch my whole trip. We found the car easily, and the team was very accommodating with the return. The only thing I would’ve improved was the cleanness and smell of the car. The team did offer us a refund for a portion of our rental, but the price was fair and we were into our trip so we opted to just enjoy the vacay as is and not worry about it. It was also due maintenance and was giving us that message but it was right at 10k miles, so that wasn’t anything that could be helped. Overall, the service was excellent, the car was new and in good condition, and the team was great about communicating and helping us throughout the trip.
Brad was an amazing host with clear and helpful communication beginning right after I booked the car through the end of the trip. The car was super clean and convenient. I would definitely recommend to rent from him any time you need a car in Detroit!
David was an amazing host and communicated well throughout the trip! Would rent again! Thank you!
By far one of the most seamless transactions on Turo to date. The car was sitting right out side of the terminal. Very quick process from start to finish. We also had two small kiddos and the car seat provided was great. Highly recommend using this Turo when in Michigan. The Buick was easy to drive and great on gas. And this was half the price of a rental car from Hertz. Solid experience. Thanks Robby!
Great Turo experience! The car was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Everything went smoothly from pickup to drop-off, and communication was easy and responsive. The vehicle was perfect for our trip and gave us no issues at all. Would definitely rent again and highly recommend!
I rented a Mercedes-Benz GLB from Stephen during my trip to Detroit, and it was a great experience. The vehicle was very clean, well-maintained, and exactly as advertised. The ride was smooth, comfortable, and perfect for getting around the city. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I really enjoyed driving the car. I would definitely rent from Stephen again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable vehicle. Thank you for a great experience!
Brad and Jana were great! Very accommodating to our early flights both ends of the rental. Car was beautifully maintained and making us consider a ford for our next car! Will be renting again on our next trip back to MI!
Great little SUV. Best Turo car I’ve ever rented. Great tires, great brakes immaculate interior.
