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!!!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions in Waltham
Why rent a car in Waltham?
Waltham's proximity to Cambridge and Watertown makes car rental ideal for moving between apartments or transporting large items across Massachusetts. The city's mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas creates frequent needs for pickup truck capacity that regular cars can't handle. Car rental in Waltham provides the cargo space and towing capability essential for home improvement projects, furniture delivery, and relocating within the greater Boston area.
What's different about driving a truck versus a car?
Trucks sit higher than cars, providing better visibility of traffic conditions around Watertown and Cambridge but requiring more attention to overhead clearances. The longer wheelbase and increased weight of pickup trucks demand wider turning radius and greater stopping distances compared to standard rental vehicles. Ford trucks and similar models feature different acceleration patterns and handling characteristics that drivers should practice in Waltham's parking areas before navigating busy streets.
How do you park a large truck safely?
Large truck parking requires choosing spaces that accommodate the extended length of pickup vehicles, especially important in crowded areas near Cambridge and Worcester. Always use mirrors and backup cameras when available to gauge distances, as truck dimensions differ significantly from standard car rental. Position the truck straight within parking lines and leave extra space for other vehicles to maneuver around your rental car in Waltham's commercial districts.
How should you distribute weight in a truck bed?
Place heavier items toward the front of the truck bed, closest to the cab, to maintain proper weight distribution during drives between Waltham and Lexington. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps to prevent shifting that could affect vehicle handling on Massachusetts roads. Avoid overloading one side of the pickup bed, as uneven weight distribution can impact steering and braking performance during your car rental period.
What safety features do modern trucks offer?
Modern rental cars include advanced braking systems designed to handle the increased weight and stopping requirements of pickup vehicles. Electronic stability control helps maintain traction during turns and adverse weather conditions common in Massachusetts winters. Many Ford trucks and similar models feature backup cameras, blind spot monitoring, and trailer sway control for enhanced safety while navigating Waltham's varied terrain.
Where are the best truck road trip destinations from Waltham?
Lexington offers historical sites and scenic routes perfect for exploring with a pickup truck's elevated driving position and cargo capacity for picnic supplies. The rental car provides excellent access to Worcester's attractions while offering space for souvenirs and outdoor equipment. Cambridge's diverse neighborhoods and Watertown's shopping areas become more accessible when you have a truck's versatility for transporting purchases and recreational gear throughout your Massachusetts adventure.
What documents and paperwork do I need to rent a car on Turo?

In most cases, you'll get approved immediately, and you'll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!
Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?
