It was a little hard navigating finding this car, but I don't think that's the providers fault. The place they park has a confusing address and no solid name you type into maps. I do with they parked elsewhere. But the car was great!

Everything was amazing. Only advice for locals not coming from the airport, when picking up Turo Rental is to Get dropped off at the west entrance of the park and jet, talk to the workers at the gate, they’ll let you in, direct you to the shuttle, they’ll drop you off to the turo parking lot where you’ll find your turo rental.
