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!
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 Torrington
Why rent a car in Torrington for moving day?
Car rental in Torrington provides the cargo space needed for furniture, appliances, and boxes that won't fit in regular vehicles. Moving cars offer loading space and tie-down points to secure your belongings during transport across Connecticut's varied terrain. Rental cars eliminate multiple trips between locations, making your moving day more efficient and less stressful.
What should I expect when driving a car versus a smaller vehicle?
Cars sit higher than smaller vehicles, giving you better visibility of traffic ahead but requiring wider turns at intersections and parking lots. The increased weight means longer stopping distances, so maintain greater following distance on Connecticut roads. Car rentals typically have automatic transmissions and require more attention to clearance heights under bridges and in parking structures.
How do I park a large car in Connecticut?
Look for end parking spots or areas with extra space to accommodate your rental car's length and turning radius. Connecticut shopping centers often have designated parking areas away from main entrances. Always check overhead clearances and avoid residential streets where large vehicles may be restricted during certain hours.
How do I properly distribute weight in my rental car?
Place heavy items like appliances and furniture in the cargo area to maintain proper weight distribution. Load boxes from floor to ceiling, filling gaps to prevent shifting during transport around Torrington's hills. Keep the car's center of gravity low by positioning lighter items on top of heavier ones throughout the cargo space.
What safety features do modern cars offer?
Contemporary car rentals include anti-lock braking systems and electronic stability control to help maintain control on Connecticut's winding roads. Many cars feature backup cameras and parking sensors to assist with maneuvering in tight spaces around Torrington. Power steering and automatic transmissions in newer rental cars make handling easier for drivers accustomed to passenger vehicles.
Where are the best car-friendly routes from Torrington?
Route 8 provides a direct car-friendly corridor connecting Torrington to other Connecticut cities with minimal low bridges or weight restrictions. Interstate 84 offers excellent access for rental cars traveling east or west from the Torrington area. Local roads like Route 4 accommodate car traffic while avoiding residential areas where large vehicle restrictions may apply.
