Recent reviews
The car owner was extremely friendly and guided me through how to use all of Tesla’s features for the first time. They also patiently explained the entire rental process and provided the car in excellent condition.
Faraz provided a great rental experience from start to finish. He was very attentive, responsive, and made the process easy. The Hyundai Kona was delivered to the airport exactly at the scheduled time, which made pickup incredibly convenient. The vehicle was excellent on gas and performed very well throughout my trip. There were a few minor dings on the exterior, but they were barely noticeable and did not impact the overall experience in any way. I would definitely rent from Faraz again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free Turo rental.
Car worked great for our trip and was very clean. Host was very communicative. Only issue was pick up, not being familiar with the different parking lots it took a while to find the car.
It was awesome. Had a great time. The vehicle was clean. Communication was amazing. No problems drop off and pick up or great. I would highly recommend it.
Car was clean and as is in the pictures. Pick up location was perfect and easy to find. Host was communicative and prompt!
Great car, it was in immaculate condition and drove well. Pick up and drop off were smooth and the hair communicated well. Would recommend this car and host!
Beautiful car. Very well kept. Looks much newer than a 10 year old vehicle with over 140,000 miles on it. The vehicle rode very nice and gets pretty good gas mileage as well. It also handles well in the snow and offers a nice and quiet ride. Unfortunately we had to pick up the vehicle the day after a major snowstorm, so it was covered in snow and ice. It would have been helpful to have the car cleaned off, especially de-iced, but thankfully the host left a snow brush in the vehicle for us to use. If we didn’t have that brush, it would have taken us a lot longer than the 40 minutes it took us to clean off the car. Communication with the host was prompt. However, communication with Turo was not. Host responded quickly to all messages and apologized for the car being covered in snow and ice. Using Turo was a bit more work than renting from a typical car rental agency. It was our first time using Turo and I’m not sure the amount of work which is required is worth the value received. Plus communication with Turo was lacking. Overall, I would recommend this host and his vehicle if you’re looking for a well kept luxury car.
Friendly communication, clean, and fresh smelling vehicle. I felt comfortable and safe. A concern I had was dealt with to my satisfaction, prior to pickup. I highly recommend this host - who in a drop-off conversation let me know they are experienced hosts with other accounts and automotive businesses - which made me a lot more comfortable! All my questions were promptly answered. Definitely a great value as well compared to other vehicles I shopped to rent for an extended weekend trip.
The hosts were very easy to work with and helped me to change the reservation to accommodate an earlier date that I needed last minute. The car is beautiful and is a pleasure to drive. Plenty of room for extended family.
