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
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!!!
Truck rental again was great, very clean and comfortable, will do business again in future, thank you.
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
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
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!
Elio’s truck was perfect and he was responsive throughout the rental process. He helped provide accurate pick up and drop off directions and the process was smooth throughout. Thank you!
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!
Loved this freaking truck, great guys managing great price. Got lots of attention, definitely will rent again.

Frequently asked questions in Toms River
Why rent a car in Toms River?
Toms River offers excellent access to Jersey Shore beaches, making car rental ideal for hauling beach equipment, kayaks, and camping gear to nearby coastal destinations. The area's proximity to Delaware and Connecticut means you can transport large items for weekend getaways or moving purposes with ease. A rental car provides the cargo capacity needed for fishing expeditions along the river locations or transporting furniture and supplies throughout New Jersey.
What should I expect when driving a car versus a car?
Cars sit higher than regular cars, providing better visibility of traffic ahead but requiring more attention to overhead clearances like bridges and parking garages. The wider turning radius means you'll need extra space when navigating Toms River's downtown areas or making turns near Bayville and Lakewood. Acceleration and braking distances are longer compared to standard car rentals, so allow additional following distance on New Jersey highways.
How do I park a large car safely?
Look for end parking spaces or areas with fewer surrounding vehicles when visiting Toms River attractions or Manasquan shopping areas. Use your mirrors frequently and take your time backing up, as cars have larger blind spots than typical rental car vehicles. Always check overhead clearances in parking structures, especially when traveling between Delaware and Connecticut or near Newark airport areas.
How do I manage weight distribution in my car?
Place heavier items toward the front of the car bed and secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps before leaving Toms River for destinations like Bayville or Lakewood. Distribute weight evenly from side to side to maintain proper handling, especially important when carrying beach equipment or moving supplies across New Jersey. Keep the car's payload capacity in mind — your rental should handle typical cargo needs but avoid overloading for safety.
What safety features do modern cars offer?
Today's rental cars typically include backup cameras to help with parking in tight spaces around Toms River and surrounding river locations. Many models feature stability control systems that assist with handling when carrying cargo between New Jersey destinations like Manasquan or when traveling toward Delaware and Connecticut. Advanced braking systems and traction control help maintain safety on various road surfaces throughout the Jersey area.
Where are the best car road trip destinations from Toms River?
The Jersey Shore coastline offers fantastic car-accessible beaches where you can transport surfboards, fishing gear, and camping equipment from Toms River to scenic coastal spots. Delaware's state parks provide excellent camping opportunities that benefit from a car's cargo capacity for hauling outdoor gear and supplies. Connecticut's rural areas and state forests offer beautiful destinations perfect for car camping, with ample space to park your rental car and enjoy nature activities.
