Everything with the truck great! Truck was in perfect condition, ran smoothly and was clean. Snap back bed cover was an added bonus keeping camping gear dry even while driving in the rain. Communication and instructions were easy to follow. Pick-up/Drop off location was easy to find with plenty of street parking. Will rent from Chris again.
Truck rental was super easy, it was very clean inside and was very comfortable to drive. Definitely will be renting from you guys again thank you.
The truck was fantastic; clean, drives well, like new. Sercan was responsive and courteous. I will rent from Sercan again!
Excellent experience! The truck was awesome, clean, and charged. David is a great Turo host. Very communicative, the car was parked at the airport ready for my trip, and he guided me to returning it perfectly. Would absolutely use again.
Worked well! Particularly good communication. The locked truck bed topper was nice for travel.

Great truck! Chris has really detailed it out nicely with little extras like plugs, seat covers, bungees in the back. Everything was in perfect condition and communication from Chris was clear and easy to follow.
Truck is beautiful! Perfect for what we needed. Very well maintained. Great communication!
Easy pick up, clean car, great communication, everything needed for a great rental experience, highly recommend.
James was a fantastic host and was incredible helpful, flexible, and friendly. The Cyber Truck was the perfect vehicle for a family of 5 (with lots of luggage) to visit the National Parks with. FSD was particularly helpful navigating unfamiliar cities and allowed us to better enjoy the scenery. Would absolutely book again! Thank you!
As EV Charging station repair technician, this is a quick and reliable way to rent a vehicle for testing purposes this host was very quick to respond and take great care of his vehicle
Turo can be a gamble but this experience was such a pleasant surprise! The truck was perfect for my in-town move, easy to drive (even for this gal who is used to a Honda Fit😂), and very clean. We unfortunately got a flat at one point but outside of waiting for roadside assistance, it was really no inconvenience overall. The spare tire is a regular tire so we were able to proceed as planned. Chris was such a friendly host! Very communicative, kind, and understanding. He came out to help us when we picked up the truck to show us how to fold up the bed cover. Highly recommend renting this truck!
I didn't have to message the owner once. That is because the truck had no issues in the drive and he communicated clearly the information needed upfront for a stress free trip.
Easy, clear instructions for pickup and drop off. We took it to Bend and explored for a long weekend, and it was perfect for it! If we need a rental car ever again, we would return here!
The car was Amazon the host was better, His communication was amazing and the car was exactly how I wanted it and expected it
