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

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 ✌️

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.
