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!

Porsche Macan 2018

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.

Ford Bronco Sport 2025

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.

Dave was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making the whole rental process smooth and stress free. We rented the RAV4, and it was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, reliable, and perfect for our trip. The car was exactly as described and very well maintained. Dave also provided clear instructions during the handover, which made everything easy and straightforward. A hassle free experience all around. I would happily rent from him again and highly recommend him to others.

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!

Chevrolet Suburban 2026

This suburban was perfect for a large family trip to Disney World. Aside from large passenger vans, you cannot rent an 8 passenger vehicle from traditional car rental companies. The windshield was cracked by renters right before us, but host reached out and communicated it- offered to let us continue to rent it as is, offered a different vehicle in their fleet, or were willing to help us cancel with Turo. We opted to continue to rent with the crack, and it did not hinder the usage at all!!! Definitely recommend!

Discovering Oahu's treasures from Honolulu International Airport

From Honolulu International Airport, you'll find yourself perfectly positioned to explore Oahu's most captivating destinations. Pearl Harbor's historic significance, Waikiki Beach's world-famous shores, and Diamond Head's iconic crater await your discovery. The North Shore's legendary surf spots and Hanauma Bay's snorkeling paradise are easily accessible by car. An SUV enhances your island experience with superior comfort on winding coastal highways, spacious storage for beach equipment and souvenirs, and the confidence to navigate both urban Honolulu streets and scenic mountain roads leading to hidden waterfalls and panoramic viewpoints.


Pearl Harbor's historic significance and memorial sites

Pearl Harbor stands as one of America's most significant historical sites, offering visitors a profound glimpse into World War II history through its museums, memorials, and preserved battleships. The USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri provide moving experiences that honor those who served. Your rental SUV ensures comfortable transportation to this important destination, with convenient parking available on-site. The elevated driving position offers excellent visibility while navigating the area's busy roads, and the spacious interior provides comfort during your journey to this emotionally impactful location. Plan to spend several hours exploring the various exhibits and memorials at this essential Hawaiian landmark.


Waikiki Beach's world-renowned shores and vibrant atmosphere

Waikiki Beach represents the quintessential Hawaiian experience with its golden sands, gentle waves perfect for learning to surf, and stunning Diamond Head backdrop.

Your rental SUV provides easy access to various beach access points and nearby parking structures. The beach's central location makes it an ideal base for exploring other parts of Oahu, while the surrounding neighborhood offers everything from casual plate lunch spots to high-end resort dining experiences.


Diamond Head crater's panoramic summit views

Diamond Head crater offers one of Oahu's most rewarding hiking experiences, with a moderately challenging trail leading to spectacular 360-degree views of Honolulu, Waikiki, and the Pacific Ocean. This iconic volcanic formation serves as Oahu's most recognizable landmark and provides incredible photo opportunities. The trailhead features adequate parking, though arriving early helps secure a spot during peak tourist seasons. Your rental SUV handles the approach roads with ease, and the higher seating position allows you to spot the crater from various vantage points during your drive. The summit views make the effort absolutely worthwhile, showcasing why this geological wonder has become synonymous with Hawaii.


North Shore's legendary surfing beaches and laid-back culture

The North Shore embodies Hawaii's authentic surf culture, featuring world-famous breaks like Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay where professional surfers tackle massive winter swells. During summer months, these same beaches transform into calm swimming and snorkeling spots perfect for families. The area maintains a relaxed, rural atmosphere with food trucks serving fresh shrimp and local favorites. Your rental SUV makes the scenic drive along Kamehameha Highway particularly enjoyable, passing through charming towns like Haleiwa with its historic charm and local art galleries.


Hanauma Bay's protected marine sanctuary and snorkeling paradise

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve offers Oahu's premier snorkeling experience within a protected volcanic crater that has become home to hundreds of tropical fish species and vibrant coral formations. This conservation success story requires advance reservations and provides educational programs about marine ecosystem protection. The bay's crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life create unforgettable underwater encounters for visitors of all skill levels. Your rental SUV provides comfortable transportation to this southeastern Oahu destination, with the journey offering beautiful coastal scenery along the way. The preserve's commitment to environmental protection ensures this natural treasure remains pristine for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
