Thank you to Dammy for providing such an excellent vehicle and making the whole rental process easy and stress-free. We had no issues at pickup, and communication throughout the trip was great.

The rental process went well and the host was easy to deal with. Vehicle had a missing trim and minor blemishes. It was well cared for and maintained. It fit our party well and had plenty of room. The host was super flexible with the pickup and return process. The vehicle drove well no handling issues and no issues during the trip. Will rent from them again.
The 2017 Ford Transit that we rented was nice, clean, and in very good condition. This vehicle is excellent on gas. Even with the high gas prices now, the Ford Transit ran a long ways before we had to refill on fuel. Mr. Isaiah is a very nice person with great customer service. The previous person I was renting from, vehicle was not ready at rental time. Mr Isaiah was there to save our trip!. Anyone needing a Transit vehicle, I highly recommend renting from Mr. Isaiah. I most definitely will rent from him again.
Absolutely made our trip!! We had friends visiting from out of town and the van was the perfect addition to ensure we could all go places together. We had every seat filled and every single person was still extremely comfortable and safe!! Beautiful vehicle and the rental process could not have been any smoother.
Chris was great to work with. Easy communication and reliable. Would rent again. Van rental was great, no issues whatsoever.
We rented the 15-passenger Mercedes Sprinter Van for a weekend trip from Seattle to Wenatchee for the Rufus Du Sol concerts at Gorge Amphitheatre (Jun.5-7), and it was absolutely perfect. With a group of 15 friends traveling together, comfort and reliability were a huge priority, and this van exceeded all expectations. The Sprinter was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable for the drive. There was plenty of room for everyone and our belongings, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The vehicle drove smoothly, had excellent fuel efficiency for its size, and made the entire experience feel more like a luxury road trip than a rental. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the communication throughout the rental process was outstanding. Having everyone travel together added so much to the weekend, and the Sprinter became part of the experience itself. Between the winery stop, the concerts, and all the memories made along the way, this rental helped make an unforgettable weekend even better. Highly recommend to anyone planning a group trip, concert weekend, wedding shuttle, wine tour, or special event. We’ll definitely be renting again! 10/10 experience. Thank you for helping make our Rufus Du Sol weekend one to remember! 🎶🚐✨

Van rental was easy with multiple videos showing how to utilize the wheelchair strap down. Sophia was great to deal with. (5 stars) Turo website and app are TERRIBLE (0 stars) Even though I have used Turo in the past, every logon required me to call customer support to get out of Verification hell. Codes were never sent to my phone or email. Get your act together Turo!
This van helped make our family reunion especially for our elderly relatives so much more memorable! At one time I had my mother, my two brothers, our wives and our children all in one vehicle.

Clemson offers diverse attractions from the prestigious Clemson University campus to scenic Lake Hartwell and the historic downtown district. You can explore the South Carolina Botanical Garden with its stunning walking trails, visit Memorial Stadium for Tigers football games, or browse the charming shops and restaurants along College Avenue. Having a rental van provides the freedom to discover these locations at your own pace, plus venture to nearby Anderson for additional shopping and dining options, or take scenic drives through the surrounding countryside.
Clemson University campus and Memorial Stadium
Clemson University forms the heart of this college town, featuring beautiful brick buildings, the iconic Tillman Hall clock tower, and the legendary Memorial Stadium known as "Death Valley." You'll find ample parking areas around campus, though game days require advance planning for parking arrangements. The campus sits centrally in town, making it easily accessible from any direction via main roads like Highway 93 and College Avenue.
South Carolina Botanical Garden
The South Carolina Botanical Garden spans over 295 acres of natural beauty with walking trails, themed gardens, and educational exhibits showcasing regional plant life. You can park conveniently at the visitor center and explore various garden sections including the camellia trail, wildflower meadow, and sculpture walk. The garden provides a peaceful escape from campus energy while remaining easily accessible from downtown Clemson via Perimeter Road.
Lake Hartwell recreation area
Lake Hartwell offers excellent opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing, and picnicking along its expansive shoreline that borders South Carolina and Georgia. You'll discover multiple access points and boat ramps around the lake, with parking available at various recreational facilities and beaches. The lake area provides scenic driving routes and connects to several state parks where you can enjoy water activities and outdoor adventures.
How to get to Clemson
You can reach Clemson by several transportation methods:
• By plane: Fly into Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, located about an hour from Clemson, then rent a vehicle for the drive south
• By car: Take Interstate 85 to Highway 93 south, or use Highway 123 from the Seneca area for direct access to downtown Clemson
• By train: Amtrak service is not available directly to Clemson, though you can take trains to nearby cities like Atlanta and continue by rental van
Top tips for renting a van in Clemson
Book your van rental early on Turo, especially during football season and university events when demand peaks in this college town. Look for vans with features like backup cameras for easier parking around campus, spacious cargo areas for moving or group trips, and comfortable seating for larger parties visiting Anderson or exploring the greater Clemson area.

Frequently asked questions in Clemson
Why choose a van for exploring South Carolina's outdoor destinations?
Vans provide ample space for camping gear, hiking equipment, and multiple passengers when exploring South Carolina's diverse landscapes from the Blue Ridge Mountains near Clemson to coastal areas. The elevated seating position offers better visibility of scenic routes, while generous cargo capacity accommodates everything from kayaks to picnic supplies for family adventures. Van rentals in Clemson give you the flexibility to transport groups comfortably while accessing both Clemson University events and Anderson's outdoor recreation areas.
What should first-time van drivers expect in Clemson?
Van handling differs from regular cars with a higher center of gravity and wider turning radius, requiring extra caution when navigating Clemson's campus areas and downtown streets. Parking requires more planning since vans need larger spaces, though most shopping centers in Anderson and Seneca accommodate these vehicles well. First-time van drivers should practice backing up and become familiar with the vehicle's dimensions before exploring busy areas around Clemson University or heading toward Greenville.
How do you park a van in downtown areas?
Look for end spaces in parking lots and avoid tight parallel parking situations when exploring downtown Clemson or Anderson's business districts. Many shopping centers and attractions near Clemson University offer van-friendly parking with wider spaces and better maneuvering room. Always check height clearances for covered parking structures, and consider parking slightly farther from busy areas where larger spaces are more readily available.
Which van works best for family adventures versus group trips?
Passenger vans with multiple rows of seating work best for group trips to destinations like Charleston or Asheville, offering individual comfort for longer journeys. Family adventures around Clemson and Anderson benefit from cargo vans converted for passengers, providing flexible space for both people and gear. Consider your specific needs: group transportation favors passenger comfort, while family adventures often require more storage for equipment and supplies.
How can you stay comfortable during extended van journeys?
Adjust seats and mirrors properly before departing Clemson for longer trips to places like Charleston or the mountains near Asheville. Plan regular stops every few hours to stretch and rest, taking advantage of South Carolina's scenic rest areas and small towns like Seneca. Pack snacks, water, and entertainment for passengers, and ensure adequate ventilation since vans can warm up quickly in South Carolina's climate.
What safety features should you prioritize in your van rental?
Look for vans equipped with backup cameras and blind spot monitoring, essential for navigating busy areas around Clemson University and Anderson's commercial districts. Anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control help manage the van's higher center of gravity on winding roads toward Greenville or mountain areas. Ensure all passengers have proper seatbelts, and familiarize yourself with the van's safety features before exploring South Carolina's diverse terrain and traffic conditions.
Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?
Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you'll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometers you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included." You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.
What documents and paperwork do I need to rent a car on Turo?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver's license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada. In the UK, you must be 21 years old or older and have held a UK or EU license for at least one year, or another driver's license for at least two years. In France you must be 18 years old or older and have held a driver's license for at least 2 years, longer for certain makes and models of vehicles. When you're booking your first trip, you'll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver's license and some other information. In most cases, you'll get approved immediately, and you'll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!
What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?
Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver's licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn't accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner's permit/instruction permits are not accepted.
How does car rental insurance work on Turo?
No, you don't need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host's vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. 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. On each trip, you're covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.* In New York state, you'll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you're covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.
