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.

Abe was an absolutely great host. As a first time traveler who made some reservation stumbles, he worked with me to accommodate any changes with me, with a friendly attitude. I would gladly rent from them again. Love that things felt personal versus at typical rental companies.

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!

Hiba was amazing. This was my first experience with Turo where I had the chance to meet the owner, She was punctual and pleasant. The vehicle was beautiful, but upon check-in I realize there was an issue with the tire. I notified her about it and less than an hour she communicated back to try to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be resolved on the day of my rental so I had to return it for her to get the tire completely replaced. She did exactly what she said she would do. She communicated with me and also Turo to get an adjustment to the price and change my reservation dates . This vehicle was impressive and in great condition. It was a perfect drive for my weekend getaway. 10 out of 10-recommend this reservation/owner.

Nick was an amazing host from start to finish. The Porsche Macan was absolutely EPIC — powerful, sleek, clean, smooth, and every bit of the luxury experience I was hoping for. I originally rented it for work, but I enjoyed it so much that I extended the trip for pleasure, and my family loved every second of it too. Nick’s customer service was top-tier. He was accommodating with my last-minute changes, easy to communicate with, and made the entire rental process feel effortless. The vehicle definitely turns heads, but the overall experience with Nick is what really made it stand out. I’d absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a luxury ride with a professional, reliable host.

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.

Prices were decent, especially for the size and year of the vehicle. Pick up and drop off were pretty simple and straightforward. Personally not the type of car I would go for, but due to my last sketchy host canceling on me hours before my trip because I covered my address in the license confirmation picture (which Turo allows you to do) that car was the greatest savior I have ever had! The host was awesome! He vacuumed and hosed the car down on the spot for me even though he was really busy. He even listened to me ranting about my trip lol and I appreciate that type of service. I'll definitely utilize them again if I ever get the chance.

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!

Exploring Montana's capital region and mountain wilderness from Helena Regional Airport

Helena Regional Airport puts you within easy reach of Montana's most captivating destinations, from historic downtown Helena to the spectacular wilderness of the Continental Divide. You can discover the state's gold rush heritage at sites like Last Chance Gulch, venture into the Gates of the Mountains for breathtaking canyon scenery, or explore the vast Helena National Forest. An SUV provides the elevated seating position and all-weather capability needed to fully appreciate Montana's dramatic landscapes, whether you're navigating mountain roads or cruising through the capital city's tree-lined neighborhoods.


Last Chance Gulch and downtown Helena's historic district

You'll find excellent parking options in the surrounding blocks, making it easy to explore the area's antique shops, local restaurants, and historic landmarks on foot. The nearby Montana State Capitol building offers guided tours and beautiful grounds perfect for strolling. Your SUV provides comfortable transportation through Helena's hilly terrain, and the downtown area serves as an ideal base for exploring the wider region's attractions.


Gates of the Mountains Wilderness and Missouri River canyon

The Gates of the Mountains area showcases some of Montana's most dramatic limestone cliffs and pristine wilderness, located along the Missouri River north of Helena. This spectacular canyon earned its name from Lewis and Clark, who marveled at the towering rock formations that seem to open and close like massive gates. You can access boat tours and hiking trails from the recreation area, with ample parking available for visitors. The scenic drive through this region rewards you with stunning mountain vistas and wildlife viewing opportunities that make the journey as memorable as the destination.


Helena National Forest and Continental Divide adventures

The forest features numerous well-maintained roads that lead to hiking trails, fishing spots, and panoramic viewpoints along the Continental Divide. Popular destinations include Mount Helena City Park for hiking and MacDonald Pass for spectacular mountain views. Your SUV handles the varied terrain with ease, from paved forest roads to gravel paths leading to remote trailheads, ensuring you can access both popular destinations and hidden gems throughout this vast wilderness area.

You'll find well-maintained roads leading to various access points around the lake, plus camping facilities for extended stays. The drive along the lake offers numerous pullouts where you can stop to enjoy the scenery and take photographs of this beautiful mountain reservoir.


Marysville ghost town and mining heritage sites

The historic mining town of Marysville sits nestled in the mountains northwest of Helena, offering you a fascinating glimpse into Montana's gold mining past. This well-preserved ghost town features several original buildings from the late 1800s, including the famous Drumlummon Mine structures and historic homes that once housed prosperous mining families. The scenic mountain road to Marysville winds through beautiful forested terrain, with several historical markers along the way explaining the area's rich mining heritage. Your SUV provides the ground clearance and stability needed for the mountain roads leading to this remarkable piece of Montana history, where you can explore at your own pace.
