I rented this white cargo van for the weekend to transport equipment for my event business, and it was exactly what I needed. The vehicle was very clean, reliable, and worked perfectly for the job. I had no issues at all during the rental. The host was honestly one of the best I’ve had on Turo. Very communicative, polite, and professional from start to finish.
