Toyota 4Runner 2022

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 was my first time using Turo and not renting through a rental agency. Why did I not find Turo earlier. Our entire experience was so easy. Pickup right at the airport, clear communication the entire time, and a fraction of the cost. Hanna made our family trip in Washington a blast. I definitely be using Turo again, and will use Hanna if ever back in Washington. 5 stars!

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!

Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class 2022

I had an outstanding experience renting this Mercedes during my trip to Seattle. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely rent from this host again. The vehicle itself was spotless inside and out. It looked and felt almost brand new, with a beautifully maintained interior that made every drive enjoyable. The car was incredibly comfortable, quiet, and smooth on the road. Whether I was driving through downtown Seattle, heading to nearby attractions, or taking longer highway trips, the Mercedes performed flawlessly. It had plenty of power when needed while still being comfortable and easy to drive. The technology was also impressive—Apple CarPlay connected seamlessly, the navigation system was easy to use, and all of the features worked exactly as expected. The pickup process at the Seattle airport was surprisingly simple and convenient. The instructions were clear, communication was prompt, and everything was exactly as described in the listing. I never had to wonder where to go or what to do. The return process was just as easy, making the entire rental experience completely stress-free. What really stood out was the professionalism of the host. Communication was excellent throughout the entire trip. Whenever I had a question, I received a quick and friendly response. It’s obvious that the host takes great pride in maintaining the vehicle and providing a first-class experience for guests. Those small details make a huge difference and really set this rental apart from many others. The Mercedes was also exceptionally clean. It truly felt like driving a luxury vehicle that had been cared for meticulously. It’s refreshing to rent a car that is exactly as advertised—or even better. The value was another pleasant surprise. Luxury rentals can sometimes be hit or miss, but this one was absolutely worth it. The combination of a premium vehicle, smooth pickup and return process, outstanding communication, and excellent condition made it one of the best rental experiences I’ve had. It made my trip significantly more enjoyable and added a level of comfort that I really appreciated after long days of sightseeing and driving around the area. If you’re looking for a reliable, clean, and luxurious vehicle in the Seattle area, I highly recommend this Mercedes. You can book with confidence knowing you’ll receive a high-quality vehicle from a professional host who genuinely cares about providing a great customer experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this car again on my next visit to Seattle, and I’ll definitely be recommending it to friends and family who travel here. Thank you for making the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. Five stars all the way!

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.

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.

Lexus GX 2025

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!

Hyundai IONIQ 5 2025

Car and host were terrific. Very responsive and kind in their communication. Car was easy to locate and clean. This was my first time using an electric car and the charging was something I had to figure out, especially what type of charger this car had compared to the plug that faster charging stations had, which seemed were not compatible. The car drove very well and also felt very roomy and had no issues fitting my luggage. I’d definitely rent this car again.

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.
