Jay was a great host and the rental process was very seamless. The SUV was very nice and perfect for traveling with my extended family. I would definitely use Jay when back in the SLC area again.

The car was great. Very clean, drove well and had plenty of space for us. Instructions were great on pickup location. Only disappointment was the car seats. They were not the best quality which made installing and adjusting the straps difficult. They are cheap to rent at $15 a seat per trip, but next time I would pay more to use a higher quality seat. Nothing against the car itself and not everyone needs a car seat so that’s why I’m still giving 5 stars. If you don’t need the car seats it’s a great rental!

We had a great experience with this rental. The vehicle was very clean inside and out when we picked it up. It had plenty of room for our family and was surprisingly good on gas, which made our trip even better. The pickup and drop-off process was easy and convenient. The host was responsive and always got back to us whenever we needed help or had questions. I would definitely recommend this rental to others and will gladly rent from them again in the future. Thank you for a great experience!

Cadillac Escalade ESV 2023

Amazing experience from start to finish. They were incredibly friendly, responsive, and made the entire rental process super easy. The pricing was very affordable, especially considering the quality of the vehicle. The Escalade was spotless, luxurious, and perfect for our trip. My kids were entertained the entire time with the TVs in the back, which made a huge difference. Honestly zero complaints, 20 stars if I could give them that many. Highly recommend. I used to rent through Enterprise and after this experience I will never go back. The level of service, communication, cleanliness, and overall quality here was on a completely different level.

It was my first time using Turo and it was so easy and convenient. The whole rental process was so much easier than the other rental companies. I rented a Honda Pilot from Jennie and she communicated everything so well. The car was perfect for our ski trip. The All Wheel Drive and ski racks were perfect for our vacation. Anthony
