Great host, but pickup logistics could be smoother. Overall, the host was very responsive and did immediately refund our money, but the pickup process was a bit stressful for me. The vehicle had been left in the lot for a few days prior to our arrival, which caused the parking fee to jump to $94 instead of the expected $20. We had to pay this large balance out of pocket on the spot to get the car because host didn’t know the exact amount it would be, but knew it was gonna be a larger amount. which was a tough and unexpected financial inconvenience. While the host was quick to send the reimbursement, it's not a situation you want to deal with right after landing. I'm sharing this in hopes it helps the host streamline their timing or even know the set price it would be for future renters so everyone can just pay their expected fee and go!

This was my first time using Turo, so I was a little hesitant at first. However, this experience completely exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, everything was smooth, organized, and stress-free. Communication was excellent, the vehicle was exactly as described, and the entire pickup and return process was seamless. I even received a discount on my rental, which was a wonderful surprise and made an already great experience even better. I truly appreciated not having to deal with many of the common hassles that can come with traditional rental companies. The professionalism, reliability, and overall customer service made this one of the easiest rental experiences I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from this host again and will absolutely look for their vehicles the next time I’m in the area. Thank you for making my first Turo experience such a positive one!

We had a fantastic time using George’s vehicle during our trip. Unfortunately, we were in town for a family funeral but George made the trip a little easier for us by allowing us to rent reliable transportation that was clean, full tank of gas and a smooth ride. Thank you so much George. We will be sure to keep you in mind next time we come back to Detroit.

Rochester Rentals made the entire rental process smooth, professional, and stress-free! I love how many co-hosts were available to answer questions and help quickly when I needed it. Every one of the guys I spoke to went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of! Being able to rent a car seat was also a huge bonus. It was one less bulky item to carry through the airport while traveling alone with my little one. I can’t thank you all enough for your kindness and outstanding customer service. I will highly recommend Rochester Rentals and will also use them again in the future! :)

Car was clean, smooth, convenient and great on gas. Host offered to shuttle me from shop back to airport so I didn’t have to deal with parking. Shuttle employee met me in the parking lot of the shop, was super kind, comfortable and we had great banter the whole way there. Will be using for every business trip I come to Detroit for, from here on out.
