After a lot of research for our family trip, we decided to use Turo, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Since it was our first trip to the U.S., we were a little nervous about driving long distances and visiting unfamiliar cities, but everything—from booking and communication to pickup, driving, and returning the car—was incredibly easy and convenient. Traveling with my parents made me want everything to go smoothly, and this experience exceeded our expectations. The vehicle was in excellent condition, very clean, and obviously well maintained. The pickup instructions were clear and detailed, so we had no trouble at all. Our host was responsive, friendly, and always quick to answer any questions we had. Their communication and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. If I ever travel to the U.S. again, I would definitely use Turo and would happily rent from this host again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free rental experience. The car drove beautifully, the interior was spotless, and it had every feature we needed. We couldn't have been happier!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Host – Highly Recommended Andre was an exceptional host from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the entire trip, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and stress-free. The Escalade IQ was exactly as described, spotless, and an absolute pleasure to drive. What really stood out, though, was Andre himself. He took the time to meet us personally for both pickup and drop-off, was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, and genuinely cares about providing a first-class experience. We discovered we share a lot of the same interests, especially when it comes to vehicles, and it was great getting to know him. To top it all off, after drop-off, he even gave my family and me a ride to our next destination, which was greatly appreciated and completely above and beyond what was expected. If you're considering renting from Andre, don't hesitate. He's the type of host that represents everything great about the Turo community. I would absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a premium vehicle and a truly outstanding host experience. Thank you again, Andre. Looking forward to renting from you again in the future!

Beautiful luxury SUV that was clean, comfortable, and rode very smoothly. The only issue I experienced was that the driver's side window stopped working during my trip, so it couldn't be rolled down. Other than that, the vehicle performed great. The host was responsive, and overall I had a great rental experience. I would definitely recommend renting from them.

The parking was a bit tough to deal with because of the shuttles, but one that was figured out everything was fantastic. The car was clean and well kept, drove well, and had plenty of space for my family of four with carry-on luggage (2 per person). The hybrid system was FANTASTIC for the high California gas prices, and we averaged a little over 50mpg for the entirety of our trip. We will absolutely use this host again when we plan on coming back to the SoCal coast next summer.

Exploring Southern California's iconic destinations from Los Angeles International Airport
