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.
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!
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 truck was perfect and basically brand new. We always appreciate the bed cover on rental trucks. This is my second time renting from Ryan and will continue to do so in future trips.
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
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.
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!!!
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!
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 Staten Island
Why choose a car rental in Staten Island?
Staten Island car rentals provide excellent cargo capacity for moving furniture, hauling construction materials, or transporting large items across New York's boroughs. These vehicles offer superior towing capabilities and elevated driving positions that enhance visibility on busy Staten Island roads. Car rental proves essential for home improvement projects, business deliveries, or relocating within the New York metropolitan area.
What driving differences should I expect with a rental car?
Larger vehicles require wider turning radii and longer stopping distances compared to standard vehicles, particularly important when navigating Staten Island's residential neighborhoods. The elevated seating position provides better road visibility but creates larger blind spots that demand frequent mirror checks. Acceleration feels different due to increased vehicle weight, and parking requires more space in Staten Island shopping centers and residential areas.
How do I park a large vehicle in Staten Island?
Staten Island offers numerous parking lots with vehicle-friendly spaces, particularly near shopping centers and industrial areas along the island's main corridors. Always check height clearances in parking garages and avoid narrow residential streets where maneuvering becomes challenging. Many Staten Island businesses provide designated parking areas, and street parking works best on wider avenues rather than side streets.
How should I distribute weight in my rental car?
Place heavier items directly over the vehicle's rear axle and secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps to prevent shifting during Staten Island's stop-and-go traffic. Distribute weight evenly from side to side while keeping the heaviest items closest to the cab for optimal balance. Avoid overloading beyond the vehicle's payload capacity, which affects braking performance on Staten Island's hills and bridges connecting to other New York boroughs.
What safety features do modern vehicles offer?
Contemporary vehicles include electronic stability control, anti-lock braking systems, and backup cameras that prove invaluable when maneuvering in Staten Island's tight parking spaces. Many models feature blind spot monitoring and collision warning systems that enhance safety during highway driving between Staten Island and other New York destinations. Advanced airbag systems and reinforced frames provide enhanced protection for both driver and passengers during Staten Island travels.
Where can I take a road trip from Staten Island?
Staten Island serves as an excellent starting point for adventures to the Catskill Mountains, Long Island's eastern beaches, or scenic drives through Connecticut's countryside. The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connects Staten Island to Brooklyn, opening routes to upstate New York's lakes and mountain regions. New Jersey's Pine Barrens and Delaware Water Gap offer accessible camping and outdoor recreation opportunities within reasonable driving distance from Staten Island.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

When booking a car in the US, you'll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that's right for you.
