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!!!
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
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 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!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions in Ignacio
Why rent a car in Ignacio for mountain adventures?
Ignacio's proximity to the San Juan Mountains makes car rental ideal for accessing remote trailheads and camping spots throughout Colorado's rugged terrain. Cars provide the ground clearance and capability needed to navigate mountain roads leading to Mesa Verde National Park and the surrounding wilderness areas. The enhanced cargo space allows you to transport camping gear, outdoor equipment, and supplies for extended adventures in Durango and beyond.
What should I expect when driving a rental car instead of a regular car?
Driving a rental car requires adjusting to a higher seating position and longer braking distances compared to standard vehicles. The wider turning radius means taking corners more gradually, especially when navigating Ignacio's downtown streets or parking areas. You'll experience improved visibility of the road ahead, which proves beneficial when exploring Colorado's mountain highways and scenic routes.
How do I park a large rental car in Ignacio?
Look for end parking spaces or areas with extra room to accommodate your rental car's length when visiting Ignacio's local businesses. Practice backing into spaces when possible, as this makes exiting easier and safer in busy areas. Many locations around Durango and throughout Colorado offer designated parking areas at trailheads and recreational facilities.
How do I properly distribute weight in my rental car?
Place heavier items directly over the rear axle and secure all cargo to prevent shifting during mountain driving around Colorado. Keep the car's weight balanced from side to side to maintain proper handling on winding roads between Ignacio and Durango. Always stay within the vehicle's payload capacity, which is typically listed on a sticker inside the driver's door frame.
What safety features do modern rental cars offer?
Contemporary cars include electronic stability control and traction management systems that enhance control on Colorado's varied road surfaces. Many models feature backup cameras and parking sensors to assist with maneuvering in tight spaces around Ignacio and Durango. Advanced braking systems and multiple airbags provide enhanced protection during mountain travel throughout the region.
Where are the best car road trip destinations from Ignacio?
Mesa Verde National Park offers spectacular archaeological sites accessible via scenic mountain roads perfect for car rental exploration. The Million Dollar Highway connecting Durango to Silverton provides breathtaking Colorado mountain vistas and historic mining town experiences. Four Corners Monument and the surrounding high desert landscape offer unique photo opportunities and cultural attractions within easy reach of Ignacio.
