Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class 2021

Excellent Turo experience from start to finish. The pickup process was smooth and hassle-free, and the host provided clear, detailed instructions that made everything easy to find and understand. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. I had no issues throughout the trip, and the car was enjoyable to drive. Communication was great, and the entire rental process felt seamless and professional. I would definitely rent from this host again and would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a reliable and stress-free rental experience.

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.

This Palisade was very clean and spacious! In addition the Palisade being a hybrid made traveling around Seattle a breeze with low stress with high gas prices. Endless rentals made pick and drop of the SUV convenient and communication was superb. I will definitely rent again when in Seattle!

I loved this Jeep for my trip to Seattle. It was just as advertised. Communication with the host was immediate. Directions for pickup and drop off were very clear and simple. I will continue to use Turo for all of my rental needs. You can’t beat being able to walk right out of your gate, into the garage, and onto the road in minutes. Friends I was traveling with rented from a traditional car rental. I was already at the hotel for an hour before they even left the airport. I will never go back to the traditional car rental companies.

Pick up drop off super convenient at airport. Better than riding shuttle to rental car center. Kia Niro has wonderful gas mileage. Something around 50 miles per gallon which is nice given the prices around Seattle area. Thank you for a perfect trip!

Patty was great! She communicated well and promptly. She also gave very clear and well thought out instructions to make a smooth and easy process. Her vehicle was clean and you could tell it us well kept. This was the first Buick I have ever driven and the controls were intuitive and easy to familiarize yourself with. The 32 mpg average was really nice as well. If your looking for a compact suv at a good price, this is the best your going to find in this price point.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2023

I expected a parking fee of $16 - $24; I was charged $37. My wife thought the air freshener was too strong. It would have been helpful to specify which sky bridge to cross and explain the color coding of the elevators (perhaps add a detailed map of the parking garage). Overall, a good rental experience (aside from the price of gasoline being 33% higher than at home); Ronald was very responsive to any questions I had. That said, I would seek him out if I needed a rental in the Seattle area in the future.

The rental process was very easy which I truly appreciated during a super hectic time. One of my Autistic sons had a procedure the same day my mom was flying to help. The hosts made it very easy. Car is in great condition and great on gas.

Volvo XC90 2017

Volvo looks great and drove great. Pick up and drop off in the airport garage for the price of parking was easy. Complimentary pick up and drop off at the light rail station was a nice option (probably comparable to taking the airport shuttle to and from a traditional rental car counter.)

Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class 2021

Enjoyed the car. For being a 2021, it had most of the desired tech specs. I expected the steering to be a bit more solid and precise, especially at higher speeds, but maybe it needs better tires? I would have had my assistant extend my trip, but she was u able to, probably because it was booked. Ended up returning the car 1hr 56 min past the return time due to unavoidable circumstances with work and was charged $144. This fee seems excessive to me because according to Turo’s Additional Use Policy: Cars returned < 1hr 59 min late will be charged, “½ the average daily trip price” so I’ll have to reach out to Turo to confirm the accuracy of the fee.

I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great Turo experience.

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.
