Very nice person to communicate with. I recommend everyone to rent from this nice gentleman

The host was incredible. She is very accommodating and responsive. As far as the vehicle, it was clean on arrival and I had no issues the whole time having it. If you need a vehicle to rent I would definitely recommend this especially if you’re in a jam like I was. Great service and if I have to rent again in the future I will come back this way for sure.

The car was perfect for our trip, the pick up and drop off was easy and fast. The communication was fast as well. Great experience all around.

Good car runs smooth has Bluetooth you can listen to music inside nice great for outings breaks you do have to pump them a little bit but overall 10/30 just need a plate that’s all felt safe

Pick up was easy. The owner responded quickly. The vehicle was clean and drove as expected. The only issue was the rear left seat belt was stuck, so we had to sit in the 3rd row.

Excellent car and the host was great…Definitely would use again.

As always, the quality of the car was amazing, pick up location for the car is so convenient because I work right down the street and Anthony the host is always amazing. Very good hospitality, very kind and quick with responses.

Southgate provides excellent access to Detroit's world-class museums, the historic Fort Wayne, and the beautiful Detroit Riverwalk that stretches along the waterfront. You can easily drive to the Henry Ford Museum in nearby Dearborn, explore the vibrant Corktown district, or visit the Detroit Institute of Arts with its renowned collection. Having a rental SUV allows you to venture to Ann Arbor's university campus, discover Wyandotte's charming downtown area, or enjoy the recreational opportunities at Lake Erie Metropark without being tied to public transportation schedules.
The Detroit Institute of Arts houses one of the most significant art collections in the United States, featuring works from ancient civilizations to contemporary masters. You'll find convenient parking options in the surrounding Midtown area, making it easy to combine your museum visit with exploration of nearby galleries and restaurants. The cultural district offers walkable streets once you arrive, but having your rental SUV allows you to easily continue to other Detroit attractions like the Detroit Historical Museum or the bustling Eastern Market.
This world-famous museum complex celebrates American innovation and automotive history, perfect for families seeking educational entertainment. The facility provides ample parking for visitors, and your rental SUV makes it simple to explore both the indoor museum and the outdoor historical village at your own pace. You can combine this visit with a trip to the nearby Ford Rouge Factory Tour or explore Dearborn's diverse dining scene featuring authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.
This expansive park offers hiking trails, fishing opportunities, and beautiful views of Lake Erie's shoreline, ideal for nature enthusiasts seeking outdoor adventures. The park features multiple parking areas throughout the grounds, allowing you to access different trail systems and recreational facilities with ease. Your rental SUV provides the perfect vehicle for transporting outdoor gear, picnic supplies, or sports equipment while offering comfortable seating for the whole family during your park exploration.
By plane: Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport serves the region with domestic and international flights. By car: Major highways including Interstate 75 and Interstate 94 provide direct access to Southgate from surrounding Michigan cities. By train: Amtrak serves nearby Detroit with connections to Chicago and other major cities.
Book your SUV rental early on Turo to secure the best SUV options for exploring Michigan's diverse attractions and seasonal activities. Look for vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive for confident handling during winter months, plus features like heated seats, backup cameras, and keyless entry that enhance comfort during your travels. Consider SUVs with ample cargo space for shopping trips to nearby outlets, sports equipment for park visits, or luggage for extended stays, ensuring your vehicle matches your planned adventures throughout the Detroit metropolitan area.
SUVs provide elevated seating positions that offer excellent visibility while navigating Southgate's suburban streets and nearby Detroit's urban landscape. The spacious cargo area accommodates luggage, shopping bags from Michigan destinations, and outdoor gear for exploring the Great Lakes region. Higher ground clearance proves beneficial during Michigan's snowy winters, while the robust build quality handles various weather conditions throughout the year.
Modern SUVs feature power steering systems that make maneuvering through Southgate parking lots and Detroit's downtown areas surprisingly manageable. Backup cameras and parking sensors assist with parallel parking along busy Michigan streets near popular destinations. Practice using mirrors effectively since SUVs have larger blind spots than standard vehicles, especially when navigating crowded areas around Detroit airport or Ann Arbor.
All-wheel drive systems available in many SUVs provide superior traction on Michigan's snow-covered roads during harsh winter months. The higher ground clearance helps navigate through accumulated snow in Southgate neighborhoods and surrounding areas like Woodhaven. Enhanced stability control systems work with the vehicle's weight distribution to maintain control on icy surfaces common throughout the Detroit metropolitan region.
SUVs excel for trips to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where rugged terrain and unpredictable weather demand reliable transportation. The cargo space accommodates camping gear for visits to state parks, while comfortable seating makes longer journeys to destinations like Ann Arbor or beyond more enjoyable. Fuel capacity in larger SUVs reduces stops during extended drives across Michigan's vast landscapes.
Full-size SUVs offer three rows of seating, making them ideal for larger families exploring Southgate attractions or visiting Detroit's museums and entertainment venues. Compact SUVs provide better fuel economy for daily driving around Michigan while still offering more space than standard cars. Consider your group size and luggage requirements when choosing between options for your Southgate SUV rental needs.
Electronic stability control prevents rollovers by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels when sensors detect loss of control during Michigan's challenging weather conditions. Advanced airbag systems protect occupants in multiple seating positions, crucial for family trips around the Detroit area. Anti-lock braking systems maintain steering control during emergency stops on wet or icy Southgate roads.
Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you'll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometers you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included." You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.
Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver's licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn't accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner's permit/instruction permits are not accepted.
No, you don't need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host's vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you'll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that's right for you. On each trip, you're covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.* In New York state, you'll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you're covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.
Yes there is — whether you want to rent a car for three days, three months, or even longer, you can on Turo. You'll find discounted prices on bookings lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.
