I really enjoyed this car and had a great experience overall. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and drove great throughout my trip. Communication with the host was excellent, and the entire rental process was smooth and easy from start to finish. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend the TURO experience
Fantastic experience with the BMW X7! The vehicle was spotless, luxurious, and drove beautifully. It was incredibly comfortable and spacious, making the trip feel first-class from start to finish. Everything worked perfectly, and the X7 was clearly well-maintained. The pickup and return process was smooth and easy, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I would definitely rent this BMW X7 again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, premium SUV on Turo!
The BEST experience. The host was professional, responsive and accomodating. Such a pleasure to deal with. Thank you! This Car was immaculate, drives like a dream, I look forward to booking again on my next trip.
This was an exceptional ride! Tishawn dropped it off at our residence and had a full charge. It was cleaned well, the only issue was the front windshield had a thick film that took a few rounds of cleaning to remove. We drove from Queen Creek to San Diego and back. I didn't expect for it to have FSD, acceleration boost, or Premium Connectivity but it did along with a mobile charger. He really went above and beyond what others offer locally by having it all included. I would ABSOLUTELY rent again! If you are not familiar with Teslas just know that to your real range is probably going to be half of the displayed range if traveling via interstate. We had to charge often which added an extra 3 hours to our trip which did not save us money nor help with time, but that has nothing to do with the quality of this vehicle. Please do consider this vehicle to rent!
Thank you so much SVITLANA! We never had such a good experience! Such a good smooth beautiful car, and best of all it was such a pleasure dealing with you! Thanks again!! 👍

Why choose an SUV for exploring Arizona's desert terrain?

The higher seating position offers superior visibility to spot wildlife and scenic vistas across the vast Arizona terrain. Enhanced stability and traction control systems help navigate sandy washes and rocky areas common throughout the Phoenix and Mesa regions.
How do you handle an SUV on mountain roads?

What makes SUVs ideal for Arizona's extreme heat?
