Kia K5 2021

The host, the car, and the whole Turo experience was 10/10. The price was fantastic and the whole experience was seamless. We had weird hours we wanted to leave and return the car that would not have worked with a car rental agency, but Angel and Turo made the whole process easy and seamless. I’m a bigger guy so I was worried about how comfortable the car would be and it was perfect. The great ride made our whole vacation possible and comfortable. I really appreciated the vehicles safety features too!

Nissan Altima 2025

The Nissan Altima was great. Good mpg, clean, lots of power, great response time. The car needed to be picked up at an off site location called, economy car rental at 2367 India street. A proximity 2 1/2 miles from the airport. You will need to find a ride to their location. The price of taxi will be $30, however we took the free shuttle to the car rental center then walked 20 minutes the rest of the way. The team at this location did a great job, fast, friendly, polite, and after returning they able to offer a ride back to the airport. We would rent this Altima again, and I would recommend this vehicle.

Eric and Valerie have made it impossible for me to ever rent from one of the big international car rental companies again. This was my third rental with them and they are everything the big guys are not. They are friendly, efficient, customer focused are most importantly really easy to deal with. Their cars are great as well.

Easy pick up and drop off. Car was very clean inside. A/C blows super cold even when it's 100 degrees out!! The windows are not tinted so I suggest bringing your own sun shades if you are going to be parked anywhere but the shade in the summer. Luckily I had those and that made my trip much better. The flip down visors do have the extenders to help block sun while driving thankfully. Charging prices are comparable to current gas prices - about $45 to get 250 miles of charge over a few sessions which is the same as I get from a full tank in my Toyota Yaris. This car DOES have the CHAdeMO fast charge input so it's 30-50 seconds per mile to charge depending on the fast charger & whether you're running the car (AC/radio) or it's fully off. Radio speakers were a little blown out so I had to adjust some settings to listen to my audiobooks but it was easy to do. I had no problem driving from the pickup spot to Kyle, then to the airport, and back into town without needing a charge which was about 90 miles, mostly highway. Just like any Turo rental make sure to take your own photos at pickup and drop off since scratches and such aren't usually documented after every drive by the car owners which seems standard in my experience. Overall a great deal, best price in town especially for a last minute rental. I requested the rental at 9pm on a Tuesday after my personal car died and was able to get this the next morning with no issue. Will definitely keep them in mind when I need a rental near by. Thanks again!

First, I contemplated leaving a 4 star review for a few reasons. However, the prompt response to the issue with the original vehicle reserved, partly due to luck that someone happened to be onsite with the car, and the flexibility with returning the vehicle without requiring washing and vacuuming is deserving of some grace. The price for 5 day/4 night rental was fantastic, around $150 total. I certainly didn't expect a car in pristine shape for the cost. This car is a part of a Turo "rental company" fleet. It seems like a company that buys cheap, used cars to rent out. There are 12-15 cars parked behind a strip mall 8-10ish minutes from the airport in an area I was glad we were picking up and dropping off midday rather than the evening. The hybrid we originally reserved had stained seats and a lot of cosmetic wear. One tire looked like it was on a spare wheel and didn't have a lot of life left, honestly. A lot of the roads in San Diego aren't exactly in great shape, I was concerned about getting a flat. When we turned the car on to leave we immediately got check engine lights and a "pull over immediately" message. Fortunately, someone with the "rental company" was on site and qas able to quickly switched cars for us. It wasn't a hybrid, though. We didn't plan on a lot of driving, but originally opted for a hybrid to save money since we had two days of freeway driving. We definitely spent more on gas then originally planned. If there wasn't someone available onsite to help, it could have been a much longer ordeal which is a terrible way to start a vacation. Communication day of pick up felt slow with the owner. I didn't think to look back to the 2 month old message about how to find the car. I received a message from Turo saying we'd be sent details the day before the trip. I never got that confirmation text or measage the day before or day of pick up from the actual rental owner. When I first reached out to the rental company through the turo app to find the car at pick up time, I didn't get a response. I finally found a way to text someone about 20 minutes later. We did get a pretty quick response that way, but it's frustrating to be in a random parking lot messaging through an app and not get a response. The Honda interior is definitely cleaner than the hybrid we reserved, but the exterior, not so much. Its been side swiped and has a lot of sun damage. The TPMS light was on the whole time, but the actual tire pressure was fine. There was also a rattle and grinding noise when accelerating from a stop or on a hill, but it didn't cause an issue. The car drives fine for a 14-15 year old car, it's just a little noisy and you feel all the bumps on the road. I understand with the cheaper cost of renting through Turo amd choosing a 12-15 year old car, I'm not getting a newer car like I would with a standard rental company or paying more for a newer car. That said, with my last few Turo rentals, it feels a lot of these Turo "rental companies" aren't checking their cars or doing much more than standard maintenance as frequently as they should when they have over 150,000 miles on them. The confirmation message also suggested the cars are kept in great shape. These cars were not in great shape by any stretch of the imagination. No one wants to be on vacation and have their car break down or even be worried that the car they're driving is gonna get a flat or break down.

I had an excellent experience renting from this host and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and smooth car rental experience. The vehicle was extremely clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Communication was outstanding from start to finish. The host was friendly, professional, responsive, and made both pickup and drop-off incredibly easy and convenient. The car drove perfectly and made my trip stress-free and enjoyable. It’s clear the host takes great care of both their vehicles and their customers. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and overall professionalism throughout the rental process. I would absolutely rent from this host again in the future and highly recommend them to others looking for a top-quality rental experience.

Subaru Outback 2013

Andre was great, the car was somewhat still dirty, dust, dirt, what appeared to be cigarette ashes, animal hair, sticky spills around the cup holders in the center console and the door panels. Crumbs and dust/dirt left in the door handles and cubby's. In the center console cup holders and cubbys. On the top of the dashboard, around the steering column and gauges. Sticky dusty windows and stereo buttons. Rear view mirror had sticky smudges on it. All the windows inside were dusty and dirty with smudges and idk what really.. the car had a bad smell of animals like dogs, and faint cigarette smell.. however as I got further into my trip I got used to it and wasn't bothered by it anymore. A lot of these issues honestly didn't bother me very much. I was more worried of being blamed for them when I returned the car. Unfortunately I was put behind schedule due to a passenger side headlight and passenger side tail light being burned out. However upon informing andre, he was very quick with a solution to take the car to valvoline where they were able to repair the lights before I left for my trip. If I wasn't already running late It wouldn't of bothered me. Andre was also very quick to reimburse me the whole price of the repairs immediately upon me sending him the receipt of the work.. I very much appreciated that! I also appreciate that instead of canceling my trip Andre worked out a way to have the lights fixed with no trouble of my own. He was always quick to respond to all of my very long messages full of questions. This is my first time using turo and I did not know the ins and outs of the rental process. He was able to guide me threw every step all while being polite and keeping his patience with me! Hah. I ended up running behind schedule on my way back as well and was surprised how simple and easy it was to change the return time from noon to after 9 p.m. all without adding any fees to my bill! That was very helpful of andre to allow me to do. I also ended up being a little passed my return time due to vacuuming the car and dusting everything to my best ability. So that andre wouldn't have to deal with someone else's mess and the next person who rents the vehicle will not have to worry about it either. I had no issues with doing that for him after he was so helpful with me! The vehicle was a little different then what im used to. But in no time I settled in with the car and had a very enjoyable trip! I would forsure rent another vehicle from andre in the future due to how well he accommodated me on this trip. Even tho the car had the mess, that was not andre, But left over from previous renters. He even made sure to have a snow brush and ice scraper in the car for me. But unfortunately the previous renters also took that with them. Im sure there will be a new one for the next person who rents the car because thats how much andre cares about his customers !! 5 stars for andre !!! Whoever returned his vehicle like that should be ashamed and think about how it would feel if someone treated your things the same way! Once again THANK YOU andre! I will reach out to you next time I need to rent a car.. I appreciate all your help thru the process! I appreciate your professionalism and quick responses to all my questions and thank you for making sure the vehicle was 100% good to go for me before I left and wouldn't of been able to fix it. 5 of 5 stars for andre !!

My credit card wasn’t working for some odd reason and rental companies wouldn’t let me rent a car so I booked this Turo last minute and it was a reasonable price for five days. I will do it again when I come back to Vancouver in August.

Excellent 1st experience using Turo. The host was very responsive and timely. The vehicle was in great condition and rode very well. The price was a good deal and would definitely use this again as opposed to a major car rental facility. It was a simple process overall and very straightforward.

The host, Tadeh was exceptional. The very best in customer service. I had the best experience with renting from Tadeh. Everything was so easy; Tadeh was super accommodating, very kind, he went way above and beyond what I reasonably expected. Tadeh is a thousand times better than AVIS, HERTZ, Enterprise, Thrifty, Budget, Dollar, and all the major car rental. Tadeh gave me the best deal; the major car rentals do not come close; I saved a lot of money. The car was great, very good on the gas mileage; and very clean. Tadeh made sure pick-up location was very convenient for me, Tadeh drove the car to where I was; it’s the best. Tadeh also picked up the car when I was done and again made sure it was convenient for me. I am very grateful for this. Once I return from my deployment, absolutely renting from Tadeh again; will be telling all my friends and colleagues. This is just amazing customer service. I am very appreciative for everything. THANK YOU

Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2026

“10/10 experience. I rented the car for a week and the total came out to around $400, which was an amazing price for a brand new 2026 vehicle. The entire process was incredibly easy from start to finish. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient, and I loved that I didn’t have to physically meet or talk to anyone. The key was waiting in a lockbox by the window, which honestly made the experience even better for me. The car itself was spotless, smelled clean, and drove perfectly. It was also amazing on gas — I drove all the way through Saturday and the tank was only halfway. The host responded quickly to messages and was super helpful the entire time. Overall, this was one of the easiest and best rental experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely rent from them again and honestly would choose this over Enterprise or Hertz any day

Cosas que hacer y lugares para ver en Chicago, IL

Chicago moves fast, but its best moments unfold slowly. With a Chicago car rental, it’s easy to drift through the downtown area, pass Millennium Park and its lakefront paths, or head out from the city center toward cultural icons like the Art Institute and skyline views from Willis Tower. Whether arriving via O’Hare or Midway International Airport, or Union Station (train), a rental car located near Wabash Ave or Clark St makes it simple to explore the Windy City.

Navy Pier

Jutting into Lake Michigan, Navy Pier blends waterfront walks with skyline views and classic attractions. The Centennial Wheel is best near sunset, when the city softens and the lake reflects the lights. Driving gives you the flexibility to linger, then continue along the shoreline.

Lincoln Park Zoo and Lakefront Trail

Just beyond downtown, Lincoln Park pairs leafy paths with open lake views. The zoo sits steps from the Lakefront Trail, making it easy to combine green space with city scenery. With a car, you can move between beaches, cafés, and quieter neighborhoods in one smooth loop.

Chicago Riverwalk

The Riverwalk traces the city’s architectural heart, lined with cafés, public art, and boat traffic. Early mornings are calm and reflective, while afternoons buzz with energy. Having a car nearby makes it easy to head to your next stop once you’re done by the river.

Chicago car rentals for any occasion

Long-term car rental

Long stays change the way you move through a city. With a longer booking, days settle into a natural flow, from morning coffee runs to late evenings across different neighborhoods. Having a Chicago rental car at your disposal means you can live like a local, take on longer commutes with ease, and adjust plans as work, family, or curiosity shifts over time.

Vacation car rental

Chicago trips rarely stay confined to one postal code. One morning might start by the water’s edge, the next by wandering galleries, neighborhoods, and food spots that you'll want to return to. A vacation booking gives you the freedom to visit landmarks at your own pace, chase good weather, and let the journey stretch well beyond the places most visitors stop.

Luxury car rental

Sliding into a premium vehicle transforms everyday routes into moments worth savoring, from polished arrivals at dinner to quiet nighttime cruises. Choosing a luxury car rental adds confidence and comfort, turning movement itself into part of the experience rather than just the means to get there.

Chicago O’Hare International Airport

Arriving through one of the major airports serving the Windy City makes it easy to start your Chicago car rental plans without detouring into the city first. While traditional terminals point travelers toward an airport car rental counter, Turo pickups near Chicago Airports are arranged in advance. You’ll see available car rental options, clear pick up instructions, and approved drop off locations in the Turo app before your visit.

Downtown Chicago

Staying in the downtown area places you in close proximity to the city center, with easy access to Millennium Park, the lakefront, and the curve of Lake Michigan. Many pickup points are conveniently located near landmarks along Wabash Ave, making it simple to step from the hotel lobby to the driver’s seat without breaking stride.

North Side and Wrigleyville

Collecting a car near Wrigley Field offers a relaxed starting point for exploring neighborhood streets or setting off on a two-hour drive north. This part of the city balances local energy with breathing room, ideal for travelers who want flexibility without the bustle of downtown. All details are confirmed in advance on the Turo app.

Top tips for renting a car in Chicago


Renting a car in Chicago allows you to see the city on your terms, especially once you move beyond the Loop. From navigating traffic patterns to timing your drives around peak hours, a little local know-how makes all the difference.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Chicago?


Driving through the Windy City means sharing the road with commuters, cyclists, and elevated trains. Major arteries like I-90, I-94, and Lake Shore Drive funnel traffic toward the Loop, with rush hour peaking between 7:00–9:00 AM and 4:00–6:30 PM. Streets near Wabash Ave can feel especially dense during weekday afternoons.


Weather plays a big role, too. Winters off Lake Michigan bring icy winds and lake-effect snow, while summer heat can slow traffic near construction zones. Posted speed limits typically range from 25–30 mph on city streets and 55 mph on expressways, though enforcement tightens near schools and transit corridors.


Around Chicago Airport, roadways like Zemke Blvd and nearby connectors stay busy throughout the day. If you’re weighing driving against the blue line or other public transport, note that a car offers flexibility well beyond the downtown core, especially for late nights or early departures from Union Station.


What is parking like in Chicago?


Parking varies block by block, but it’s manageable. Downtown garages near Millennium Park, Grant Park, and the Loop offer consistent availability, while neighborhoods like River North and West Loop lean heavily on structured parking. Residential streets often require permits, so signage matters.


For longer stays, garages near transit hubs and cultural districts tend to be the most reliable.


Are there toll roads in Chicago?


Yes. Illinois has several toll roads, including I-90, I-294, and I-88, which ring and radiate out from the city. These routes are commonly used for regional travel and airport access.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Chicago?


Fuel stations are easy to find along major corridors like Western Avenue, North Avenue, and Roosevelt Road, with national brands spread across the city. EV drivers will also find charging stations in public garages near the Loop, Lincoln Park, and lakefront attractions.


Chicago continues expanding its charging network, making electric vehicles a practical option for both city driving and suburban trips.


Do I need to rent a car in Chicago?


Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, and many of its best experiences sit well beyond the downtown grid. A car gives you the freedom to move easily between lakeside stretches along Lake Shore Drive, residential pockets like Lincoln Park and Hyde Park, and day trips that aren’t practical by train alone. On Turo, renting a car makes it simple to explore the city on your own schedule, carry luggage or gear comfortably, and reach places public transport doesn’t cover efficiently.

Frequently asked questions about Chicago car rentals

What documents and paperwork do you 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.

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo in the US, you must be 18 years old or older.

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.

Can I get car rental discounts on Turo?

You can get discounts and low cost car rental on Turo.

On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promo codes, discounts, and deals.

Is there long term car rental on Turo?

Yes there is - whether you want to rent a car for three days, three months, or even longer, you can on Turo. You’ll find discounted prices on bookings lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.

See more about promotions & discounts

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 kilometres 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.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Chicago? 

The cost of car rental in Chicago can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Chicago look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

What rental car types are there in Chicago?

Chicago streets require flexibility, comfort, and confidence behind the wheel. On Turo, you’ll find options designed for city cruising, longer drives, and everything in between, including, but not limited to:

- SUV rental: A Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V handles tight lanes and changing traffic with ease, giving you breathing room during rush hour and added comfort on longer days out.


- Luxury car rental: Arrive with polish in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series, a refined fit for evenings near the Art Institute or reservations across the Loop.


- Performance sports car rental: A Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro brings energy to open stretches, perfect for turning an ordinary drive into a memorable road trip.


- Compact car rental: Nimble models like the Toyota Corolla make parking and short hops effortless, keeping your Chicago rental car practical without feeling limited.


- Passenger van rental: A Chrysler Pacifica or similar vehicle suits group plans, hauling luggage, or heading out to lakefront events and summer carnival rides.


- Pickup truck rental: Ford F-150 options shine for heavier loads, creative projects, or quick runs near industrial corridors like Zemke Blvd.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
