Recent reviews
William was an excellent host! Pickup was incredibly convenient, with the car located in the parking lot connected to our terminal, and drop-off was right at the terminal, making travel seamless. William was very communicative throughout the entire rental process. The car was clean, dependable, and exactly as pictured. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would absolutely rent from William again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a hassle-free Turo experience.
Great communication, good vehicle, and good price! Will use again on next trip
The car is in great shape, runs well, was convenient to pick up, and the host could not have been better. He was responsive, dropped off the vehicle with water, and even got the vehicle from us at the departure section of the airport. So convenient, way better than getting a rental car from Avis, Enterprise, Alamo, any other big names, or a different Turo. At MSP the rental car centers are all either offsite or at Terminal 1 (most airlines operate out of Terminal 2). Renting this Lexus from Green is your best bet. He will make it easy.
Pickup was easy. Clear directions and great communication during the entire length of my rental. Return was even easier than pickup. Absolute excellent experience.
I had a great experience renting this car. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It drove smoothly and made our trip comfortable and stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout the rental process, and the host was responsive and helpful whenever needed. Thank you for allowing us to use your car during our trip. We truly appreciate your hospitality and the great experience. I would definitely rent from you again and highly recommend this host to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable rental experience!
They were amazing. It’s my second time renting with them. They set it up so I could pick up the car early even offered to set up an airport pick up because another host canceled my reservation last minute Great communication the cars are nice and clean and again they went above and beyond for me
I would like to start by saying that, overall, I had an excellent experience with this trip. The host was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. The vehicle was immaculate, exactly as described, and performed flawlessly. I truly appreciated the professionalism and care that went into the rental. The only issue was the pickup experience. I arrived at MSP Airport expecting to pick up the vehicle there, as indicated in my reservation. Instead, I learned that the car was located elsewhere. I asked if it could be brought to the airport, waited approximately 90 minutes for its arrival, and was charged additional fees for the delivery. I completely understand that logistical challenges can happen, but from a guest’s perspective, this was unexpected. Since my reservation specified pickup at MSP Airport, I believe those additional delivery costs should have been absorbed rather than passed on to me. I hope you will consider reimbursing those extra charges. Aside from this issue, everything else about the experience was outstanding, and I would gladly rent from this host again.
This car is awesome! Really fun to drive and very clean for a 2016. Car has some minor issues but nothing drive line related. MPG is great since it is a hybrid. Grab this reservation before the price goes up.
Car was not as clean as expected but it did not take away from our experience! Somewhere on our trip, a nail got in the tire and went flat. We took it to a shop and it was repaired per Turo rental agreement. Owner was easy to deal with and satisfied with the repair.
Car interior was a 4/5, seats could’ve been cleaned. Other than that, pickup and drop off directions were easy to follow. Car drove great the entire trip. Owner called for drop off time estimate but assured me not to rush although I was near trip end time. Would definitely rent from this owner again.
The pick up was smooth and the car was exactly what was detailed in the description. Easy and would definitely rent from again if in the area. Car was clean and filled with gas. Made the trip a good one.
Pickup/drop-off instructions were super easy. Perfect little SUV for our trip and was very clean! Victor was great!
Super communicative and helpful with the rental process. Would definitely rent from them again.
Absolutely amazing trip. Troy was the best host I’ve ever had on Turo. Was super responsive and helped with any little thing needed. If I’m ever back in MN, I’m renting from him again!
Beautiful vehicle. It was amazing for our road trip! We would absolutely rent again!
Best Turo we’ve ever had! Would not hesitate to book with John again. The car was great, and he was a thoughtful and communicative host. When I asked if he had a booster seat available and he did not, he bought one for us to use on our trip! Cannot recommend enough.
Great experience renting from you! The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The whole process was smooth and easy, and communication with the host was great. I really appreciate you making everything so convenient. Thank you again for a great rental experience! I’d definitely rent from you again.
Very pleasant ride and experience. Host is very helpful, and courteous throughout our trip. Would love to rent from again and would highly recommend to others. Thank you!
The car was perfect for our trip. Great gas mileage. The host supplied phone, chargers, Kleenex, and gum, etc. great rental and communication!
