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
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 host and truck were amazing! The room in the back seat was spacious and comfortable. Also, all 10 large luggage b pieces fit perfectly on the bed of the truck. Recommend this truck rental over a rental company SUV.
Carlos was super accommodating for me. I really appreciated how he treated me and helped me through the rental process. Truck was great as well!
We had an excellent experience renting this Dodge Ram. The host was fantastic ... very responsive, easy to communicate with, and always available if we needed anything. The truck itself exceeded our expectations. It was exceptionally clean inside and out when we picked it up, drove beautifully, and was completely trouble-free throughout our trip. What impressed us most was the fuel economy. We were honestly expecting the 5.7L HEMI V8 to be hard on fuel, but it was surprisingly efficient on the highway. At one point we averaged just 10.8 L/100 km, which is better than some other trucks we've rented. The stereo system was also excellent and made the long drives much more enjoyable. Overall, this was one of the best vehicle rental experiences we've had. Great host, great truck, and great value. We would not hesitate to rent from them again and highly recommend both the vehicle and the owner to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable truck.
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!
Amazing experience from start to finish! The truck was clean, well-maintained, and ready right on time. The staff was professional, friendly, and made the rental process quick and stress-free. the truck drove perfectly the entire trip. I would definitely recommend this truck rental company to anyone needing reliable service and equipment. Will absolutely be using them again in the future!
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 Southfield
Why rent a truck in Southfield?
Southfield offers excellent access to Michigan's diverse landscapes, making truck rental ideal for hauling outdoor gear, furniture, or equipment across the region. The city's proximity to Detroit provides convenient pickup locations for truck rental needs, whether you're moving between neighborhoods or exploring Michigan's recreational areas. Trucks excel in Southfield's varied terrain and weather conditions, offering superior ground clearance and cargo capacity for both urban errands and weekend adventures.
What should I expect when driving a truck versus a car?
Trucks sit higher than regular cars, providing better visibility of traffic and road conditions around Southfield and Detroit. The steering requires more deliberate input, and braking distances increase due to the vehicle's weight and size. You'll notice improved stability in Michigan weather conditions, but parking requires more attention to clearance heights and space requirements.
How do I park a large truck safely?
Choose parking spots with ample space on all sides, avoiding tight spaces common in busy Southfield shopping areas. Use your mirrors extensively and consider backing into spaces for easier exit visibility. Check overhead clearances at parking structures throughout Michigan, as many trucks exceed standard height limits for covered parking areas.
How do I manage weight distribution in my truck?
Place heavier items directly over the rear axle and distribute weight evenly across the truck bed to maintain proper balance. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps, especially when traveling between Southfield and other Michigan destinations. Keep the heaviest items closest to the cab and avoid overloading one side, which can affect handling on curves and during lane changes.
What safety features do modern trucks offer?
Contemporary trucks include electronic stability control, which helps maintain traction on Michigan's varied road surfaces throughout different seasons. Many models feature backup cameras and parking sensors, essential for navigating Southfield's mixed urban and suburban environments. Advanced braking systems and traction control provide additional confidence when hauling loads or driving in challenging weather conditions common to the Detroit area.
Where are the best truck road trip destinations from Southfield?
Michigan's Upper Peninsula offers spectacular scenery accessible via truck, with numerous state parks perfect for camping and outdoor activities. The Great Lakes shoreline provides excellent destinations for hauling boats, camping gear, or recreational equipment from your Southfield starting point. Detroit's surrounding areas feature numerous lakes, forests, and recreational areas where a truck's cargo capacity and ground clearance prove invaluable for adventure seekers.
