Amazing experience from start to finish! The truck was clean, well-maintained, and ready right on time. The staff was professional, friendly, and made the rental process quick and stress-free. the truck drove perfectly the entire trip. I would definitely recommend this truck rental company to anyone needing reliable service and equipment. Will absolutely be using them again in the future!
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. The owner was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient. We would definitely rent this truck again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle for a trip.
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 truck was perfect and basically brand new. We always appreciate the bed cover on rental trucks. This is my second time renting from Ryan and will continue to do so in future trips.
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!
Elio’s truck was perfect and he was responsive throughout the rental process. He helped provide accurate pick up and drop off directions and the process was smooth throughout. Thank you!
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!
Loved this freaking truck, great guys managing great price. Got lots of attention, definitely will rent again.
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
Awesome host. Clear directions. Excellent price. Great vehicle. Got tons of compliments on the truck! We would totally rent it again!

Top tips for renting a truck in Ottawa
Driving a truck in Ottawa is generally straightforward, even if you’re not used to a larger vehicle. Before heading into busier areas, it can help to take a few minutes to get comfortable with the truck’s size, turning radius, and parking. If you’re planning to rent during a weekend, holiday, or peak moving season, booking ahead can also help ensure better vehicle availability.
What is parking a truck like in Ottawa?
Parking a truck in Ottawa can be easy, especially in suburban areas where streets and parking lots are more spacious. Although closer to downtown, things can feel a bit tighter depending on your truck’s size, so it’s worth planning ahead and giving yourself extra room to manoeuvre.
If you’re using a covered garage, make sure to check the height clearance, and keep an eye on parking signs, as time limits and seasonal rules — including winter restrictions — can apply.
How to choose the right type of truck for your Ottawa trip
Truck size, capacity, and seating are the main things to consider when choosing a rental in Ottawa. Larger cargo vans and box trucks are ideal for moving furniture or heavier loads, while a pickup truck rental can offer the flexibility and space you need for everyday tasks or getting around the city.
It really comes down to how much you’re bringing with you and how you plan to use it.
Loading a truck
If you’re planning to load your rental truck with furniture, equipment, or larger items, it’s worth taking a few extra steps to keep everything secure. Start by placing heavier items at the front and distributing weight evenly to help with stability while driving.
If you’re carrying bulkier items, securing them with straps or ties will help prevent movement during the drive. For added protection, consider using padding or blankets to avoid damage to both your items and the truck.
Gas stations and EV chargers in Ottawa
Gas stations are easy to find across Ottawa, particularly along major roads, in suburban areas, and near highways, with many open late or 24/7. If you’re renting a larger truck, it’s worth checking the fuel type in advance, as diesel is widely available but not offered at every station.
EV charging is also available, mostly in parking lots, shopping centres, and park-and-ride locations, with faster options along highways and in busier retail areas. However, it’s worth checking in advance that the charger is compatible with your truck and that the location has enough space for it.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.
In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.
