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 ✌️

Excellent experience from start to finish! The Ram truck was clean, comfortable, powerful, and drove perfectly. It was exactly what I needed and handled the entire trip without any issues. Pickup and return were easy and straightforward, and the host was friendly, responsive, and made everything hassle-free.

The car is very well kept as always, just like all of their other vehicles that I have rented in the past. This truck drove great, got great gas mileage, was well maintained and very clean inside and out, and did everything I needed it to do. I would recommend this host vivid anytime. I always look forward to renting from them and communicating with their hosts thank you guys again for a wonderful trip. See you in a week.

I rented a Toyota Tacoma through Turo and picked it up at Tampa International Airport. The pickup process was quick and smooth. The truck was extremely clean, comfortable, and drove beautifully. It was a great experience overall, and I would definitely reserve it again on my next trip!
Highly recommend, if you haven't already used them, they're very convenient and a much simpler overall process compared to the major car rental corporations
