We had an excellent experience renting this truck for our vacation. The vehicle was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. It drove great the entire trip and made traveling much more comfortable.

Clint was an outstanding host from start to finish! The entire rental process was incredibly easy, smooth, and stress-free. He was friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure everything was clear and convenient throughout the trip. The truck itself was excellent—clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was spotless when I picked it up and performed flawlessly the entire time. I took it on a longer trip and had absolutely zero issues. The ride was comfortable, reliable, and handled everything I needed with ease. If you’re looking for a five-star experience all around, book with this host!!! I will absolutely rent from him again in the future! Thank you!!
The option of Renting this Nissan Frontier pick up truck appeared at first glance like an “anxiety-reducing opportunity”, and here’s the reason why: -Pretty much all of the other trucks of the same type (with the oversized compartment in the back) are advertising for over $200 at the minimum, and quite often for just 24 hours. -In addition to the relief I felt as I noticed that this one was reasonably priced, the pick up location came as an unexpected bonus. Basically, there are a great number of car dealerships, most if not all, located one next to the other, occupying about a mile-long segment of the main road connecting Colma and Daly City called Serramonte Blvd. Thus, after dropping my car at the Volkswagen dealership on Serramonte blvd, being able to access this rental, located only about a mile away was a pleasant surprise. Especially when you combine that with the affordable price. - Lastly, the communication with the truck owner was easy and the details provided were quite thorough; which altogether made for an “anxiety-reducing” experience overall😀👍🙏. Thank you again for making the rental process of your Frontier, as simple and stress-free as it can be. Kel F, PharmD
Rental process was very easy. I had the car dropped off and picked up from my house with no issues. Vehicle was super clean! Will absolutely rent from again!!!
Truck rental again was great, very clean and comfortable, will do business again in future, thank you.
Great vehicle. Super clean and comfortable. Super responsive host. Was available on time. Would recommend to anybody looking to rent a truck. Will use again in the future
Tian was great. He helped guide us throughout the whole rental process. The car has amazing FSD. I would highly recommend for roadtrips. Would rent again from him
We’ve now rented for three straight months from Broden, choosing multiple vehicles. He has always been extremely responsive and made our experience smooth. He has some of the best vehicles available and at a very reasonable price. We tried to rent from another listing this past week after returning our last vehicle to Broden, and immediately had to contact Turo to have them cancel the reservation due to major mechanical issues. Broden keeps up on his mechanical services, that added Rocket Car Wash unlimited pass is a really nice bonus, and pickup and drop off are so convenient. We just booked our 4th month and 3rd vehicle today with Broden.
This truck is awesome. It has a super strong and smooth running engine. All the working areas of the truck such as the tie downs in the bed are in great condition, which was super important for me. 👍👍 used for hauling machinery. The bed is in good shape not torn up like most rental trucks. Made it easy to sweep out. You will love driving this truck if visibility is important to you, it’s a lot better than a comparable sized van lol. While trucking around 😎 I loved the sound system, worked great with charging my phone and playing music. The check in and experience with Nesha was excellent. The price was significantly better and I enjoyed this truck much more than any truck I’ve gotten from THD, Lowes or Enterprise and this year was a BIG YEAR for trucks and vans ✌️
Amazing truck, flawless and very reasonable price. Just keep in mind it's rear wheel drive so not best for snowy conditions! But otherwise awesome car!
Great truck rental experience! The vehicle was clean, reliable, and easy to drive. The host is easy to talk to and made pickup/drop-off smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend!
The rental was affordable and truck was great like the host Janine who was very friendly and very professional. The truck was delivered to my address which was very convenient for me and the situation of getting a ride to pickup ride to have a ride. Geeeesh

Frequently asked questions in Oshawa
Why choose a ute for moving in Oshawa?
A rental ute in Oshawa provides excellent cargo capacity for furniture, appliances, and moving boxes while maintaining comfortable passenger seating. These versatile trucks offer superior loading height compared to traditional vans, making heavy lifting easier during your relocation. Oshawa's suburban layout and wide streets accommodate rental utes perfectly, giving you the flexibility to navigate residential areas and access loading zones efficiently.
What driving differences should I expect with a ute?
Driving a rental truck requires adjusting to increased vehicle length and wider turning radius compared to standard cars. The elevated seating position in your rental ute provides better road visibility, though you'll need extra space when parking in Oshawa's downtown core. Empty truck beds can affect handling in windy conditions, so maintain steady steering and allow additional following distance on Ontario highways.
How do I park a large ute in Ontario cities?
Look for end parking spaces or corner spots that provide extra manoeuvring room for your rental truck in Oshawa's shopping districts. Many Ontario municipalities offer designated truck parking areas near industrial zones and major retail centres. Always check overhead clearances in parkades, as your rental ute may exceed standard height limits in older parking structures.
How should I distribute weight in my rental ute?
Place heavier items directly over the rear axle in your rental truck to maintain proper weight distribution and traction. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps to prevent shifting during transport around Oshawa's residential streets. Balance your load from side to side, keeping the truck's centre of gravity low by positioning dense items on the bed floor rather than stacking high.
What safety features do modern utes offer?
Contemporary rental trucks include electronic stability control and anti-lock braking systems designed specifically for utility vehicle dynamics. Many utes feature backup cameras and parking sensors to assist with manoeuvring in tight spaces around Oshawa's commercial areas. Advanced models offer trailer sway control and hill start assist, providing additional confidence when hauling loads through Ontario's varied terrain.
Where can I take a ute road trip from Oshawa?
Your rental truck opens access to Ontario's cottage country, where narrow lake roads and steep driveways benefit from ute capability. Explore the Kawartha Lakes region or head to Muskoka, where your rental truck provides space for outdoor gear and recreational equipment. The Northumberland Hills offer scenic drives perfect for testing your ute's performance while enjoying Ontario's countryside landscapes.
