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.

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 Rock Island
Why rent a car in Rock Island?
Rock Island offers excellent opportunities for hauling equipment, furniture, and supplies across the Quad Cities region and throughout Illinois. Cars provide the cargo capacity needed for moving between Rock Island and nearby areas like Moline, whether you're relocating, transporting recreational gear, or handling construction materials. The elevated driving position in a rental car also gives you better visibility when navigating Rock Island's varied terrain and busy intersections.
What should I expect when driving a car versus a car?
Cars sit higher than regular cars, giving you an elevated view of traffic and road conditions throughout Rock Island and the surrounding Illinois region. The steering feels heavier and requires more deliberate inputs, especially when maneuvering through tight spaces in downtown Rock Island. You'll need to allow extra space for braking and turning, particularly when hauling cargo through the Quad Cities area.
How do I park a large car safely?
Always choose parking spots with ample space on all sides, especially in busy areas of Rock Island where space can be limited. Use your mirrors extensively and take your time backing into spaces, as cars have larger blind spots than standard rental vehicles. When parking on Illinois streets or in Rock Island lots, ensure your rental car doesn't extend into traffic lanes or block other vehicles' access.
How do I manage weight distribution in my car?
Place heavier items directly over the rear axle and distribute weight evenly across the car bed to maintain proper balance while driving through Rock Island. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps before traveling between locations in Illinois, as unsecured loads can shift and affect handling. Keep the heaviest items low in the car bed to maintain a lower center of gravity, especially important when navigating the varied elevations around the Rock Island area.
What safety features do modern cars offer?
Contemporary cars include electronic stability control systems that help maintain traction on Illinois roads, particularly useful during weather changes common in the Rock Island region. Many cars feature backup cameras and parking sensors to assist with maneuvering in tight spaces around the Quad Cities area. Advanced braking systems provide enhanced stopping power when carrying heavy loads, essential for safe car operation throughout the Rock Island vicinity.
Where are the best car road trip destinations from Rock Island?
The Mississippi River corridor offers scenic routes perfect for car travel, with multiple access points near Rock Island for recreational activities requiring cargo hauling. Illinois state parks within the region provide excellent destinations for camping trips where a rental car's cargo capacity proves invaluable for transporting gear. The rural areas surrounding Rock Island feature numerous farms and outdoor venues that benefit from a rental car's hauling capabilities for equipment transport.
