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 Metairie
Why rent a car in Metairie?
Car rental in Metairie offers exceptional versatility for hauling furniture, moving supplies, or transporting equipment around Louisiana's greater New Orleans area. These vehicles provide superior cargo capacity compared to standard cars, making them ideal for home improvement projects, relocations, or outdoor adventures throughout the region. Metairie's proximity to various neighborhoods and commercial districts makes car rentals particularly valuable for both personal and business transportation needs.
What should I expect when driving a car versus a car?
Driving a car requires adjusting to increased height, wider turning radius, and longer braking distances compared to regular vehicles. The elevated seating position provides better road visibility but demands extra caution when changing lanes or navigating tight spaces in Metairie's urban areas. Car handling feels different due to higher center of gravity, especially when cornering or driving in Louisiana's occasional strong winds.
How do I park a large car safely?
Safe car parking requires choosing spaces with adequate clearance on all sides and avoiding low-hanging obstacles like tree branches or covered parking structures. Use your mirrors extensively and take extra time backing up, as cars have larger blind spots than standard rental vehicles. In Metairie, look for end parking spots or areas specifically designed for larger vehicles to ensure comfortable maneuvering space.
How do I manage weight distribution in my car?
Proper weight distribution involves placing heavier items over the rear axle and securing all cargo to prevent shifting during transport around Louisiana roads. Balance the load evenly from side to side and avoid exceeding the vehicle's payload capacity, which affects handling and braking performance. Always secure loose items with tie-downs or cargo nets, especially when navigating Metairie's varied terrain and traffic conditions.
What safety features do modern cars offer?
Contemporary cars include advanced safety technologies like backup cameras, blind spot monitoring, and electronic stability control to enhance driver confidence. Many models feature reinforced frames, multiple airbags, and anti-lock braking systems that provide superior protection during Louisiana travel. These rental vehicles often include towing packages and enhanced suspension systems designed for both payload capacity and passenger comfort throughout your Metairie adventures.
Where are the best car road trip destinations from Metairie?
Louisiana's scenic bayous, state parks, and coastal areas offer excellent car-accessible destinations for outdoor enthusiasts departing from Metairie. The car's cargo capacity makes it perfect for camping gear, fishing equipment, or recreational supplies when exploring the region's natural attractions. Historic plantation tours, festival locations, and rural Louisiana communities become more accessible with a rental car's versatility and storage space.
What documents and paperwork do I need to rent a car on Turo?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver's license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

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!
What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?

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?
