The rental process was excellent being able to pick up and drop off and the ease of access to using this service was excellent. I highly recommend using this for anyone looking to rent aside from the big companies. Also speaking with Steven was really easy to get things done.

Noble Luxury gets five stars from us :) They were easy to communicate with, responsive when we reached out, and very gracious throughout our rental. I highly value good communication, and they were kind and helpful about everything we brought to their attention. There were a couple of surprises courtesy of previous renters. A previous renter had smoked in the vehicle, and although the car had been deodorized, the smell remained. Noble Luxury was apologetic when we mentioned it and let us know they would be deodorizing the car again after our trip concluded. :) Obviously, cigarette smoke is extremely difficult to remove, and I feel bad that Noble Luxury is having to deal with the aftermath of a previous renter being inconsiderate. The car itself is quite beautiful and comfortable to drive, and I hope they’re able to get the aroma inside back to being as perfect as the rest of the car. On a more goofy note, previous renters also left behind a few amusing treasures tucked around the car, including jean booty shorts and a fringed & bejeweled belt. Unfortunately, the shorts were much too small for me... or my husband. ;) We would happily rent from Noble Luxury again :)

GMC Yukon XL 2021

We had a great experience renting the 2021 GMC Yukon! Pick-up and drop-off were a breeze, and the vehicle was clean and in great working condition. The Yukon made our drive from Phoenix to Sedona very comfortable, and my family really appreciated how spacious it was. There was plenty of room for everyone, plus all of our luggage. We were able to easily fit six large suitcases, making this a great option for family trips or even for someone moving to college from out of state. Overall, the Yukon was comfortable, spacious, clean, and reliable. We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a roomy SUV for a road trip!

Vincent was kind and attentive. Answered every question I had, from arrival at PHX to heading towards the rental. There is a small fee to pay for getting the rental out the lot, just like any other airport parking garages, it’s based off of time. Make sure you plan efficiently from your plane landing to pick up time. We easily found everything and had no issues picking up the vehicle. Only paid $9 to get out the lot and was immediately reimbursed. Vehicle was great and reliable. We did a lot of hiking and off roading which was awesome and handy. I will say towards the end of the trip we did notice the lock on the passenger side was not working which was a safety concern for myself and guests. I immediately messaged Vincent and he apologized for the inconvenience and said he’d get that checked out. The speakers sound a bit muffled and not clear but it wasn’t a big deal for us , we still were vibing and having fun! The CarPlay would choose when to work, but I enjoyed it when it came to maps. Obviously a Jeep is a heavy set vehicle so it takes some effort to make it go over 60mph, and gas was about $60 for a full tank. Nonetheless we enjoyed our rental! Thanks.

I am so truly thankful and very appreciative for Barry as a phenomenal Turo host! Not only did I have a last minute emergency on my girls trip celebrating my birthday but I ended up having a late return and all communication was expeditious and assistive. I hope to rent in the future. Arizona was great and my Turo rental gave me the same luxary feel as if I were home. Definitely book this rental, it’s great on gas and affordable price!!

Jonathan was an amazing host! He answered all of my questions promptly and made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free. The car drove perfectly with no issues at all throughout my trip. What impressed me most was how accommodating he was he had the car ready within 8 hours of my booking, which was incredibly helpful. His communication, professionalism, and hospitality were top tier I would definitely book with Jonathan again and highly recommend him to friends, family, and anyone looking for a great Turo experience. Thank you for helping make my trip so enjoyable!

Check in was superb Mr Ryan is the perfect host and I do need perfect. He checked on me to make sure that I was okay that everything was going okay. He let me know about the free car wash if I wanted to take the car for a car wash it's an SUV. Now let me explain something to you This SUV is a 2026 Buick encore with the panoramic screen and let me say this the vehicle was so clean inside smell good no type of odor at all it drove so smooth I had just bought me a 2026 Hyundai iconic 5 and My son's wrecked it so it's total and that was a bad accident and Mr Ryan was so sympathetic he gave me the best condolences he was just so sweet and I thank him for that. I want you to know that checking in to get the vehicle and bringing it back is so smooth but remember to take pictures that is the main thing you want to protect yourself This is a great vehicle the host is great and I will absolutely rent from him again. I am a psychologist in Phoenix Arizona for the state so I have a lot of friends sometimes that come in town and they need rentals I will be referring this house I give him 10 stars oh wait he can only get five right okay well I'll give him five twice Thank you Mr Ryan you are superb I will use you again
