I had a great experience with my rental car. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and reliable throughout my trip. The rental process was smooth and easy, and the service was great. Pick up and drop off was easy. I would definitely rent from them again and recommend them to others!
Impressed with CarRoro. Picked up and dropped off at ORD Terminal 2 by shuttle van to their lot of cars; took 10-15 minutes. Very convenient. Super friendly driver. Car was as described. Higher mileage than the car rental companies, but car worked without problems. Rented for 4 days for work. Price much lower than rental car companies. Great experience. Would rent from again without hesitation.
I had a great experience renting from DMM Group LLC for my trip to Chicago. I had the car for seven days, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The customer service was excellent, and communication was always quick, clear, and professional. The pickup and drop-off process was seamless and easy, with very clear instructions that made everything simple and stress-free. The car was clean, comfortable, and drove great. The price was also very reasonable compared to other options I looked at. I would definitely recommend DMM Group LLC to anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, and hassle-free rental experience. I’ll definitely consider renting from them again on my future trips!
This was a great SUV, spacious, great gas mileage, smooth ride, however my only comment is that it only supports Android Auto when plugged into the type-C connection. I most definitely recommend this SUV.
Awesome Reservation!!! Car was clean and operated fantastic! Shuttle and staff were perfect! Will rent again 4 sure! 💕 BIG MAMA
Truly great car at great price. What was even better was the host. Answered me right away, was extremely helpful always. The car was fast to find and very convenient.
The host was very communicative and let me know exactly where the car was. The car was clean, delivered on time, and was large enough to do everything I needed at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend again.
This was my best trip yet through Turo! Eric was great. Plenty of communication. Car was fantastic. Clean and ran perfectly. It was a great option he has for adding car seat(s) to the trip! Will definitely rent again from Eric. Thank you!
Great, easy process. Trip went great. Had to extend my rental with no extra problems happening. Would definitely rent again
Great rental experience! The Tesla was fun to drive, and the self driving feature was especially convenient. The car’s color/wrap really stood out from other Teslas and got several compliments. The host was very communicative and even asked which airport terminal I was arriving at so they could leave the car in the closest lot, a small detail I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend and rent again!
Host was very responsive and truck was great no issues and kept clean love the easy check in process will highly recommend also reasonable price 10/10 !!!!!
I cannot recommend these people enough. The process was smooth, easy to understand, the pickup and drop off were VIP level. The car was amazing. The price is great. Truly 10 star experience.
The car was amazing, the reservation process was incredible, the customer service was very prompt and very convenient
Great car! Great Host! Great Price! Loved driving this 2025 4Runner, and Eric made the whole process so easy! He went above and beyond my expectations by giving me super detailed instructions on how to find the lot where the car was parked - and how to get there! Checked in to make sure everything was going well, and gave me an easy return location. I'd give 10 stars if I could, and will definitely be renting from him again when I'm in Chicago!
Great car. Drives like a dream. Very fuel efficient in this high gas price time. No issue at all. Great communication from eric. Appreciate the help.
Highly recommend, last minute reservation, pick up and drop off extremely simple and convenient. Awesome host hospitality and responsive on questions. The Mercedes-Benz EQE impresses with its sleek, aerodynamic exterior, smooth sculpted lines, signature Mercedes-EQ grille, and elegant lighting that gives it a futuristic yet sophisticated presence. Inside, it feels like a true luxury lounge, combining premium materials, beautifully crafted seating, ambient lighting, and an advanced digital cockpit offering a high-tech driving experience.
Great rental experience from start to finish! The handoff was quick and easy, and the car was extremely clean and well maintained. It had all the bells and whistles you could ask for, which made the entire trip even more enjoyable. The car rides incredibly smooth and was comfortable the entire time.
