Steven was an amazing host! I rented his Sprinter van for my birthday weekend, in Vegas and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. The van was clean, spacious, comfortable, and exactly what we needed to make the weekend extra special!! I was super surprised at the gas mileage! It was great on fuel!! So many bells and whistles! Steven was friendly, professional, responsive, and made the whole rental process super easy. Everything went smoothly, and we had such a great time. I would absolutely rent from Steven again and highly recommend him and his Sprinter to anyone looking for a great rental experience. Thanks again, Steven, for helping make my birthday weekend one to remember!

We had a great experience renting this van from Kevin. Pick-up and drop-off were easy, and communication with Kevin was excellent throughout the rental. The van was in good condition for being 12 years old, with only minor interior/exterior wear and tear. It was clean, comfortable, drove nicely, and was good on fuel. The only minor issue was that the backup camera wasn’t seated properly in its housing, so it didn’t function as it should. Overall, it was a reliable, comfortable van, and Kevin was a great host. Would rent from him again!

I had to manage my family for a funeral. This was an absolutely incredible rental. My family loved not dealing with the stress of driving. Car was in perfect condition. This is honestly the happiest I have ever been with a Turo rental! The only comment I have would be if you have elderly or disabled people. It could be difficult to get into the car because the step is 2 feet above the ground. I have messaged the host about adding a step to rent to help this type of passenger get into this vehicle and if he offers this to rent in the future, I would highly recommend it! Overall, absolutely wonderful experience!

We rented Steven's Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for a special birthday weekend with friends and Steven was a fantastic host! From the moment we booked, he was friendly, professional and proactive with communication. Pickup was smooth and easy, thanks to his clear, detailed instructions and excellent coordination. The in-person airport pickup at the curb was a great touch and made it easier for us to catch our departing flights. He also provided helpful information about the van's features and made himself readily available if we needed assistance. I especially appreciated his flexibility with our schedule, responsiveness and attention to detail throughout the rental. Steven genuinely cares about providing a great experience for his guests. Thank you, Steven, for helping make a memorable birthday weekend even better! I would happily rent from you again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful and accommodating host!

Nice vehicle and worked great for our girls trip to Sedona. There were some warnings on the dash that all seemed to tie back to a spare tire swap that had taken place, but they were upfront about it when we picked up the vehicle - no issues or concerns while driving. Fairly smooth ride for that large of a vehicle. Reasonable price, decent communication. Would rent again.
