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 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 Homestead
Why rent a truck in Homestead?
Homestead offers excellent truck rental opportunities for moving large items, hauling equipment for outdoor adventures in the Florida Everglades, or transporting supplies for home improvement projects. The area's proximity to Miami and Fort Lauderdale makes truck rental ideal for relocations or business needs along Dixie Hwy. Florida's year-round warm climate means you can tackle outdoor projects and transportation tasks any season.
What should I expect when driving a truck versus a regular car?
Rental trucks sit higher than regular cars, providing better visibility but requiring more attention to overhead clearances and wind resistance. The longer wheelbase affects turning radius, so plan wider turns especially when navigating Homestead's residential areas or parking lots near Dixie Hwy. Acceleration and braking distances increase significantly compared to standard rental cars, particularly when the truck bed is loaded.
How do I park and maneuver a large truck effectively?
Use your mirrors extensively and take advantage of the rental truck's height to see over obstacles when parking in Homestead's shopping centers or residential areas. Practice backing up in empty lots before attempting tight spaces, as rental trucks require more room than typical rental cars. Allow extra space when parallel parking along Florida streets, and avoid low-hanging branches common in older Homestead neighborhoods.
How do I properly distribute load and manage weight in a truck?
Place heavier items toward the front of the truck bed and against the cab to maintain proper weight distribution and handling characteristics. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps, especially important when traveling on Florida highways where sudden weather changes can occur. Keep the total load within the rental truck's payload capacity, and remember that weight affects braking distance and fuel consumption during your rental period.
What safety features do modern trucks offer?
Contemporary rental trucks include advanced braking systems, stability control, and multiple airbags to protect occupants during Florida driving conditions. Many truck rentals feature backup cameras and parking sensors, essential tools for navigating Homestead's varied parking situations and residential driveways. Electronic stability control helps maintain traction on wet roads, particularly important during Florida's frequent afternoon thunderstorms.
Where are the best destinations for a truck road trip from Homestead?
Homestead serves as an excellent starting point for truck adventures to the Florida Keys, where you can transport kayaks, fishing gear, or camping equipment for island exploration. The truck rental options in Homestead make it easy to haul supplies for camping trips to Everglades National Park or beach excursions along Florida's Atlantic coast. Consider trips north along Dixie Hwy toward Miami for urban adventures or west toward the Gulf Coast for different scenery and experiences.
