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!!
This truck was an absolute blast to drive! We had an awesome time and really enjoyed the experience. The customer service was outstanding very friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire rental process. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great rental experience.
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
Truck was a pleasure to drive. We had to rent while our truck was in shop. Wanted to use a local rather than car rental companies. The truck was super Clean and comfortable. Great communication with host. Would definitely rent again.
Truck rental again was great, very clean and comfortable, will do business again in future, thank you.
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
This host and truck were amazing! The room in the back seat was spacious and comfortable. Also, all 10 large luggage b pieces fit perfectly on the bed of the truck. Recommend this truck rental over a rental company SUV.
We had an excellent experience renting this Dodge Ram. The host was fantastic ... very responsive, easy to communicate with, and always available if we needed anything. The truck itself exceeded our expectations. It was exceptionally clean inside and out when we picked it up, drove beautifully, and was completely trouble-free throughout our trip. What impressed us most was the fuel economy. We were honestly expecting the 5.7L HEMI V8 to be hard on fuel, but it was surprisingly efficient on the highway. At one point we averaged just 10.8 L/100 km, which is better than some other trucks we've rented. The stereo system was also excellent and made the long drives much more enjoyable. Overall, this was one of the best vehicle rental experiences we've had. Great host, great truck, and great value. We would not hesitate to rent from them again and highly recommend both the vehicle and the owner to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable truck.
Carlos was super accommodating for me. I really appreciated how he treated me and helped me through the rental process. Truck was great as well!
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!
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!
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
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!
Loved this freaking truck, great guys managing great price. Got lots of attention, definitely will rent again.
This was so easy very fast and definitely coming back when I need to rent a truck.

Frequently asked questions in Helotes
Why rent a truck in Helotes?
Trucks provide excellent capability for hauling equipment, furniture, or recreational gear around the San Antonio area and beyond to destinations like New Braunfels or Boerne. Helotes residents and visitors often need truck rental for moving household items, transporting outdoor adventure equipment, or handling construction materials for home projects. The elevated driving position in a truck also offers better visibility when navigating Texas hill country roads around Bulverde and Schertz.
What should I expect when driving a truck versus a car?
Trucks sit higher than regular cars, giving you a commanding view of traffic around San Antonio and Helotes, though you'll need to adjust mirrors more carefully for the larger blind spots. The vehicle will feel heavier during acceleration and require more space for braking, especially when loaded with cargo for trips between Austin and the surrounding Texas communities. Parking requires more attention to clearance heights and turning radius, particularly in crowded areas near San Antonio International Airport or downtown districts.
How do I park a large truck safely?
Always choose parking spots with ample space on both sides, avoiding tight spaces common in busy San Antonio shopping centers or near Helotes community areas. Use your mirrors and take your time backing up, as trucks have larger blind spots than standard rental cars. When possible, pull through parking spaces to avoid backing out, especially in high-traffic areas around Selma or Schertz where visibility might be limited.
How do I manage weight distribution in my truck?
Place heavier items toward the front of the truck bed and against the cab to maintain proper balance during drives through Texas hill country around Helotes and Boerne. Distribute weight evenly from side to side to prevent the vehicle from pulling in one direction, particularly important when traveling on highways between San Antonio and Austin. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps to prevent shifting that could affect handling, especially during longer trips to New Braunfels or other regional destinations.
What safety features do modern trucks offer?
Contemporary trucks include advanced braking systems that help manage the additional weight and stopping distance compared to standard rental cars. Many feature backup cameras and parking sensors that assist with maneuvering in tight spaces around Helotes neighborhoods or busy San Antonio parking areas. Electronic stability control helps maintain traction on varied road surfaces throughout Texas, while multiple airbags provide enhanced protection for occupants during travel between communities like Bulverde and Schertz.
Where are the best truck road trip destinations from Helotes?
The Texas Hill Country offers excellent truck-friendly routes to scenic destinations like Boerne and New Braunfels, where the extra cargo space proves valuable for camping gear or recreational equipment. Austin provides urban exploration opportunities while your rental truck handles any shopping or equipment transport needs throughout the trip. San Antonio's diverse attractions become more accessible when you have the hauling capability for outdoor gear, sports equipment, or supplies for extended stays in the greater Texas region.

When you're booking your first trip, you'll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver's license and some other information. In most cases, you'll get approved immediately, and you'll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!

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.
How does car rental insurance work on Turo?
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.
