It looks like it will cost a lot less for us to grab an Uber from the airport to a Turo car for the week in lieu of using a rental company.

Just wondered if anyone here used it and had a good/bad experience?

Yep. Cable actuated parking brake broke. Things happen even with rental cars...

100% Agree on Turo and Costco rentals for regular cars.

We had an overall good experience. Our only problem was the mileage limit. We got one with way too low of a limit.

I use it regularly but only for sports cars. I absolutely love it.

I used a Turo car for about a week, and it was great.

Tried to do it. Seemingly in certain, limited areas/cities.
