This was the first time I used Turo and I loved the simplicity of paying for the rental, the best low cost, clean, well-maintained and easily found the vehicle by using the Turo app along with being able to text the owner if needed. I was able to pick the type of vehicle near me to rent. The vehicle was simple, hassle free to pick up and return. I met the host and they were professional, friendly and I will only use Turo when renting again. Love this concept and the price!

Just wrapped up an amazing experience renting this Range Rover and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. The vehicle was absolutely spotless, drove like a dream, and turned heads everywhere we went. Smooth ride, luxury feel, and incredibly comfortable whether cruising around town or taking longer trips. The entire rental process was easy, professional, and stress-free from start to finish. You can tell the owner really takes pride in keeping the vehicle in top condition. Without question, I’ll definitely be renting this Range Rover again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxury SUV experience done the right way at a affordable price.

Abe was an absolutely great host. As a first time traveler who made some reservation stumbles, he worked with me to accommodate any changes with me, with a friendly attitude. I would gladly rent from them again. Love that things felt personal versus at typical rental companies.

Tesla Model Y 2023

This was easily one of the best rental experiences I have ever had. The red Tesla Model Y with the beautiful white interior was absolutely stunning, spotless, fresh, comfortable, and a joy to drive. The car felt premium in every way, and having Full Self-Driving included at no extra cost made the experience even more special. For the price, this is an incredible value and honestly much better than my usual Avis, Enterprise, or other traditional rental bookings. Jay and Kam were outstanding hosts. They delivered the car before the scheduled time, made the pickup and return completely smooth, and took the time to explain everything about the car in detail. They are true Tesla enthusiasts and former Tesla employees, and their knowledge really shows. As first-time users of Tesla’s self-driving features, their guidance made us feel comfortable, confident, and able to enjoy the car to the fullest. One thing that really stood out was the thoughtful refreshments they provided for us. That small gesture made a big difference and immediately showed how much they care about their guests. I have never experienced that level of hospitality with any other rental before. It felt less like a regular car rental and more like a carefully prepared premium experience. Communication was excellent throughout the trip. They were friendly, responsive, and available anytime we had a question. The entire experience was stress-free from start to finish, and the car was perfect for enjoying Seattle and the surrounding areas. Amazing car, great price, and truly super helpful hosts. I would definitely rent from them again in the future and highly recommend this Tesla to anyone looking for the best Turo experience in Seattle. 5/5!

We come to Oahu quite a bit, and this rental worked out perfectly for our family. We were moving our daughter out of her dorm for the summer, so having a comfortable SUV with plenty of storage space in the back made a huge difference. It handled luggage, boxes, and beach gear easily without everyone feeling cramped. The vehicle itself was clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and very easy to drive around the island. Whether we were running errands in town or spending the day exploring different parts of Oahu, it was reliable and enjoyable the entire trip. Compared to the major rental companies where even tiny cars can cost a fortune in Hawaii, this was a much better value. We’ve also used Hui before, but if you’re out exploring for more than a couple hours, the cost adds up fast. Having this vehicle available the whole trip gave us way more flexibility and convenience without the stress. Would absolutely rent again next time we’re on the island. Highly recommend!

Porsche Macan 2018

Nick was an amazing host from start to finish. The Porsche Macan was absolutely EPIC — powerful, sleek, clean, smooth, and every bit of the luxury experience I was hoping for. I originally rented it for work, but I enjoyed it so much that I extended the trip for pleasure, and my family loved every second of it too. Nick’s customer service was top-tier. He was accommodating with my last-minute changes, easy to communicate with, and made the entire rental process feel effortless. The vehicle definitely turns heads, but the overall experience with Nick is what really made it stand out. I’d absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a luxury ride with a professional, reliable host.

First time using Turo and the experience was perfect! Great car, very clean. Couldn't beat the price especially with it being a newer model car and also my previous reservation canceled on me in less than 24hrs. Blessed to have experienced this opportunity. Will rent again in the future if need be. Juan was very professional, welcoming and informative. 10/10.

Ford Bronco Sport 2025

Prices were decent, especially for the size and year of the vehicle. Pick up and drop off were pretty simple and straightforward. Personally not the type of car I would go for, but due to my last sketchy host canceling on me hours before my trip because I covered my address in the license confirmation picture (which Turo allows you to do) that car was the greatest savior I have ever had! The host was awesome! He vacuumed and hosed the car down on the spot for me even though he was really busy. He even listened to me ranting about my trip lol and I appreciate that type of service. I'll definitely utilize them again if I ever get the chance.

Igor was fantastic, the car was a complete joy to drive and Igor has gone out of his was to add some nice touches, a cooler with drinks and ice when you pick up the vehicle, an umbrella, and a charging power cord. The car was well beyond clean and tidy, by far the best Turo I've ever rented. The price was reasonable and was able to extend my reservation a few times was supposed to have for 2-3 days ended up with 7-8. I would highly recommend this vehicle and this host 5 out 5 stars top notch.

Tesla Model Y 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

Overall, a wonderful experience, and I would absolutely rent from this host again. Highly recommend!

Exploring the Pacific Northwest from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

The Seattle area offers incredible diversity for travelers seeking both urban excitement and natural beauty. From the iconic Space Needle and bustling Pike Place Market to the serene waters of Puget Sound, you'll find endless opportunities for exploration. An SUV provides the perfect combination of comfort and capability for navigating Seattle's hilly terrain while offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Whether you're heading to the waterfront, exploring nearby national parks, or venturing into charming neighborhoods, your elevated driving position ensures you won't miss any of the spectacular scenery.


Pike Place Market and downtown Seattle attractions

Downtown Seattle pulses with energy around the famous Pike Place Market, where vendors toss fresh fish and local artisans showcase their crafts. The area features steep hills and limited parking, making an SUV's maneuverability and higher vantage point particularly valuable for navigating the bustling streets. You'll appreciate the extra cargo space for market finds and souvenirs. The nearby waterfront offers stunning views of Elliott Bay, while the historic Pioneer Square district provides a glimpse into the city's rich past. Street parking can be challenging, but several parking garages accommodate larger vehicles throughout the downtown core.


Mount Rainier National Park wilderness adventures

Mount Rainier National Park showcases the Pacific Northwest's natural grandeur with its towering peak, alpine meadows, and ancient forests. The park's winding mountain roads and varying elevations make it an ideal destination for your rental car adventure. Paradise and Sunrise areas offer breathtaking wildflower displays during summer months, while the park's numerous trails provide opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing. Your vehicle's enhanced ground clearance proves beneficial on the park's mountain roads, and the spacious interior accommodates hiking gear and picnic supplies for a full day of exploration.


Puget Sound ferry rides and island hopping

The Puget Sound ferry system connects the mainland to enchanting islands like Bainbridge and Vashon, each offering unique charm and scenic beauty. Ferry terminals provide ample parking for vehicles of all sizes, and the short drives to departure points from the airport make island exploration convenient. Once aboard, you can remain with your rental car or explore the passenger decks for stunning water views. The islands feature quaint towns, local wineries, and peaceful beaches perfect for a relaxing day trip. Your SUV ensures comfortable transportation both to the ferry terminals and around the islands once you arrive.


Snoqualmie Falls natural wonder

Snoqualmie Falls thunders down 268 feet into a misty pool below, creating one of Washington's most photographed natural attractions. The scenic drive from the airport takes you through lush forests and rolling hills characteristic of the Cascade foothills. A well-maintained observation deck provides spectacular views of the falls, while nearby trails offer different vantage points for photography enthusiasts. The falls area includes a charming lodge and gift shop, plus several hiking trails that benefit from your vehicle's cargo capacity for outdoor equipment and refreshments.


Olympic Peninsula coastal drives and rainforests

The Olympic Peninsula offers an extraordinary diversity of landscapes, from temperate rainforests to rugged coastlines and snow-capped peaks. Your journey begins with a scenic ferry ride across Puget Sound, followed by winding roads through ancient forests where massive trees create natural cathedrals. The peninsula's remote beaches, such as those near La Push, provide dramatic Pacific Ocean views and opportunities for beachcombing. Hot springs, hiking trails, and charming coastal towns dot the region, making it perfect for multi-day exploration. The SUV's reliability and comfort prove essential for covering the peninsula's varied terrain and longer distances between destinations.
