I had a great experience renting the GMC Yukon Denali. The SUV was clean, comfortable, spacious, and drove smoothly. It was perfect for my trip, with plenty of room for passengers and luggage. The vehicle was well-maintained, and the rental process was easy and convenient. I would definitely rent this Yukon Denali again and highly recommend it to others!

Seth was fantastic. He not only answered every question I had before pickup, he was just as quick whenever something came up during the trip. This was my first time ever driving a Tesla, and there is a learning curve with the interface. What made a huge difference was the Starlink Seth includes for free. I used the built-in AI for route planning, questions along the way, and finding settings I couldn’t locate quickly. The best part of the rental was Full Self-Driving. In five days I almost never touched the wheel. I only took over to make a small correction or pull into a different parking spot. From start to stop I used FSD, and it was easy, simple, and very responsive. It actually made me want to buy a Tesla. Supercharging was just as straightforward. Seth set up a guest account on the car. You plug in, it charges, and he sends the total afterward for reimbursement. That was a big plus with gas prices as high as they were. Tip: if you charge before 9 a.m., a lot of locations are about half price. I’m sure I saved a lot compared with a gas vehicle. Next time I’m in Salt Lake, I hope this rental is available.

Customer care was top notch and it’s a beautiful car. The car itself was a tiny bit small for my frame at 6ft with long legs but fun none the less.

Great car and price. The pick up location was kind of far from the airport so give yourself extra time to wait for the shuttle and get to the parking lot. It was a little confusing on how to get to the shuttle and the parking lot.

The host was great, car was great, they live very close to the airport though which makes it show as airport pickup, not their fault but maybe an issue to Turo platform needs to address, as I did pay for airport pickup but they had to still bring me the car cause it showed as me picking it up from them.

Everything was absolutely amazing. Easy pick up and drop off from the Salt Lake airport. Car came clean with a full tank of gas. I had to extend my reservation a day and my daughter left her wallet in the vehicle after drop off. Ashlyn was easy to work with and prompt.
