The Plaid came clean and charged. The host was able to give me a phone key, which hooked up to my tesla app. That makes the car awesome to use when you already have a tesla and are used to not having to use the key card. Picked it up at the airport so no rental counter. Was out here for 8 days and able to use it like my tesla at home (minus the home charger). Will definitely rent from Lenworth the next time I visit California! Perfect smooth rental process
My first time on Turo and I had the best experience I don’t think enterprise would see they #1 member again Brooke was great she communicated well this SUV was clean inside out very beautiful smooth ride good on gas great deal price wise also picking up and dropping off the car same spot was different but very convenient I got to get use to the communicating through the app but anyways thanks Brooke for making this experience great
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great experience from start to finish! The car was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Pick-up and drop-off were super easy, and communication was quick and helpful throughout the entire rental. Everything went smoothly, which made our trip that much more enjoyable. I would definitely rent again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free Turo experience!
Everything associated with this reservation was wonderful and I would repeat the experience.
Thank you for your patience and allowing me to extend my reservation.
Nice ride for the price. I loved that luxury feel at night when the Audi logo from the door reflects onto the floor. Amazing host definitely booking again.
Great car!!! Great instruction given. I’m beyond happy with my rental. Would definitely rent again.
The car was absolutely terrific! It got us from point A to point B COMFORTABLY! Traveled with my little family, our party of 7 had enough space even with luggage! Communication and pickup/drop off was even more terrific! Literally right across the airport and very easy to find. Host was great with communication! Hoping to make more trips to Long Beach and going through this host again! Hands down the most easiest and less stressful trip ever for my little family.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
Great rental! The car ran really well. It was an easy pickup and dropoff from the airport. I'd definitely rent again!
Another amazing trip from Sebastian, literally the best host on Turo, and the car was awesome! Thanks again!
