Recent reviews
Everything was great! When we had a minor issue, Jason came and addressed it very quickly.
Jason’s transit van was perfect for our huge family trip, comfortably seated multiple adults, three kids in car seats, and all of our luggage from the airport. When I forgot to apply an infant car seat to my order Jason took the time to drive to the airport and equip the vehicle with a car seat. I would recommend and will personally be using him again.
Everything was nice! Cooler and chairs a big hit. Short side step for gma made her happy. Complementary phone charger cords also plus.
This ban is awesome! Very comfortable and tons of room. Pretty good on gas also. Jason was very responsive! Thanks. Would definitely recommend.
Van worked perfect for our family trip. Very roomy and in excellent condition. Check in and out was easy
Would highly recommend using this service. It was a fantastic experience. Great communication and it was extremely helpful for our trip!
Van was great worked very well for our family. Locating car was so easy, and our host Javier was great to work with.
Great van, perfect for our large family. Will definitely look for this one again. Thanks.
This vehicle was amazing!!! We had the best time with no issues. The car owner was easy to chat with and replied promptly. Went beyond our expectations
The van was great for 7 of us.. and it gave plenty of room for our luggage. Also they were helpful with trying to use the Turo app, which was a little clumsy. Thanks for everything!
This was the smoothest process I’ve ever gone through! It was so easy so simple and amazing customer services thank you!
1st time Turo renter here from Indiana. I was so nervous but Javier was excellent to work with. Answered my questions quickly and even texted me so that communication was quicker. Everything was so smooth. Definitely will be renting from Javier/Turo next year if we come back to Punta Gorda.
