What a wonderful experience! The entire rental process was just so smooth and perfect. Communication was superb from the moment we made the reservation as well as right up to the drop off. Our family of 4 along with all of my wife's luggage had plenty of room for us. The 4-Runner drove great and surprised both my wife and I, so much so we are looking into getting one when we get home. We'll be returning to Seattle area again in the future to visit friends and will definitely be looking up WooJoo to rent this vehicle again when we return.

Best Turo experience ever! The whole experience from start to finish is actually a concierge type of experience. Host is extremely on top of everything from instant responses, communications of important good to knows, ability to go above and beyond to cater to my pickup needs, and even providing me with important infos as a local. Car itself is almost brand new with very low mileage and it runs smooth, not to mention the cost effective gas saving as an SUV! I even dropped a tip to appreciate how wonderful of an experience I had!

This was my first time using this app so I was a bit nervous. It turns out this is way better than standing in line after a long flight at the car rental counter. Very easy to communicate with, very easy to find the vehicle, and the jeep ran great. I hope every time I use this app it goes this smooth.

Great vehicle for an amazing price. It came super clean with a full tank of gas. I had it for 4 days and didn't even use the full tank. Honestly, the best gas mileage I could ask for. Thanks again for letting me use your stunning vehicle.

The vehicle was clean, well maintained and cared for and Trinity and the crew were professional and considerate. The only negative i can offer about the trip and vehicle is the cost of dropoff at seattle airport should be included in the rental cost and the price for renting chains was overly expensive. Other than those small details, my trip was amazing and i would definitely rent from Trinity again!

Ali and company are the reason why Turo will always be a better choice to rent a vehicle than any big rental companies. Always being available for questions and checking in on me and my family to make sure we got everything we needed. Through out my whole trip I felt completely safe knowing that no matter what came up resources were already in place for me to reach out to if something came up. During the end my trip while doing my final checks I found out so many amenities and emergency items were stowed away out of sight just in case something would come up and would require them. 100% would recommend renting from Ali and will definitely do so myself in the future. Thank you for the amazing service!

Pickup up at the airport was convenient and easy. The model Y drove great. I really enjoyed having the car navigate for me throughout my trip. I had to extend my trip by a few hours and the host was able to accommodate me. My only complaint was having to pay the full day price for parking vvdue to the host having dropped off car in garage the night before so that it could charge.

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.
