First experience with Turo, Car was very clean Everything I needed Seamless transition to getting the vehicle unlike others in the area, especially the fact that car rental companies were overcharging. Saved a ton of money and even more important saved time, John was great and made everything easy, great staff to the trip. I’ll be coming co for SURE!
First time using the app and honestly it was amazing, well priced and really got me out of a pickle when there were no rental cars available! Easy to use, easy pick up and drop off, and Farrah had great communication!
I couldnt have asked for a better host & luxury vehicle for my stay in Houston, Yassir was very responsive to my needs & questions. Great car (gas saver ) & amazing Host! Thanks Yassir #WillBookAgain
Excelente service!! Ziya was very friendly, I will rent a car with him next time I come to Houston!! Great!
The easiest car rental I’ve ever experienced, Diego was flexible and super easy to work with!
My experience with Waleed was superb, simple, and straightforward. I truly enjoyed driving the AMG GT which is a very fast, fun, and powerful sports car for the enthusiasts driver. I was also very impress by other fine italian and german rides he currently has available in his fleet via Turo for every occasion. Your vehicle is kept safe and secured in a gated lot under surveillance when you complete your trip. Pick up location is ideal close to major freeways and Houston Galleria area. When I'm ready again to ride the best in performance Waleed is without a doubt the right source with the best machines to consider.
I’ve rented from Tauhha a few times, the process is always smooth. The cars are always top tier. If you want luxury experience with easy pick up and drop off. Please rent with Tauhha! He’s my go-to when I’m visiting Houston.
Absolute best host to rent a car from.. will definitely do business again when in Texas
Great host, available at all times and very organized! The car, clean from inside to outside. When I’m in Houston he will be my number one Go to to rent a car! I’m highly satisfied.
I have never used Turo before and had an amazing first experience. This car was immaculate, the owner ALWAYS answered my messages within a couple of minutes. She was very helpful and responsive and willing to work with our schedule. The ease of pick up and drop off at the airport was so much better than using a car rental company. If you need a car in Houston, I would highly recommend her and this car.
If you are traveling to Houston and need to rent a car, book with Alex! He responds quickly to messages and the car was nice, clean, and a gas saver! I look forward to booking with Alex again in the future!
Half the cost of car rental companies but, without cruise control in this particular car. Worth the trade off. Great experience with the owner!
This rental was perfection! Green is my favorite color so that definitely was a plus! Aside from that, everything was stellar. From the drop off of the vehicle to the quality of the car itself. It was extremely clean and well maintained. I needed the rental at the last minute and Lavish came through for me. I’m super grateful for the experience and would hands down rent this again if I’m ever in Houston.
Excellent renter, close to IAH! Adding in all the national agency fees, and Ziya’s cars come out cheaper than all those. Besides, good luck even finding an available car at National, Budget, or Avis nowadays!!!
Hey, thanks Stanley. I flew into Houston for me to buy another car for my Turo rentals in Atlanta, GA. He was accommodating with just an hour & 1/2 notice. The BMW drove great. AND, MAN!!! He has some nice cars! If you rent from him, you WILL be pleased!
Ziya is literally the best! He goes above and beyond for his customers and does everything he can to ensure he provides an excellent vehicle and service. Highly recommend renting from ziya. He takes pride in his business and truly cares about providing the best car service he can. We paid the VERY reasonable delivery fee for ziya to meet us at the airport to pick us up and then when we were done with rental of his car, he met us to drop us off back at the airport. This was so much easier and quicker than dealing with traditional car rental companies and waiting in line and dealing with that hassle. Ziya was hassle free with his car rental experience and so accommodating with great communication. He was even kind enough to accommodate us needing to meet him to give him back the car an hour earlier than planned. Car was nice and sufficient for our week visit in Houston and ziya maintains his cars and knows them inside out. Definitely rent from Ziya! A++++ 10/10 5 stars!
Ayman was so helpful, he has an excellent and kind way of fulfill any need that arose in our trip. I strongly recommend to rent any of his vehicles. I will back soon and without doubt I will rent a car with Ayman.
Anytime I need to rent a car Walid always have something nice and affordable available. He is my go to. Thank you for your great customer service. You will get my business until I can get a car of my own or need to take a trip. Thank you again
George is very helpful. He can accommodate to your any need, his vehicles range from luxury to eco friendly. Everytime I visit Houston I always rent from him.
I wish I could give this trip 10 stars! The host was super sweet and the car was loaded with goodies from hand sanitizer to different mask options. The car drove very smoothly and the panoramic sunroof was my favorite part. I will definitely me reaching out to them during my next trip to Houston.
Olu was awesome and very responsive. The car was spotless and the trip went smoothly. It was the first time for me using the Turo app and he set the bar high. If I’m ever back in Houston, I’ll be renting a car from Olu!
The Kia was an excellent choice, great on gas, very comfortable and stylish as well. Alex was great and available if needed. At the end of my trip I locked my wallet in the car mistakenly and Alex came right away to open the car so I could retrieve it. I would definitely rent from Alex again when I’m in Houston.
Kierra and Andre made this of the best rentals experiences we have ever had. On top of this Nissan being one of the least expensive car rentals in the area, it was one of the newest cars available. Additionally Kierra and Andre delivered the car for free to the airport. That was a huge factor for us. Most Turo rentals charged $65 for delivery. They left the car with a full tank of gas and we drove the car for three full days around the city. It only cost about $7.50 in gas to return it. Awesome mileage. Do keep in mind though, they do ask you to clean the car before returning so it’s important to reserve a little extra free time on the tail end of your busy trip for gas and cleaning. It is free to do so with the barcode provided on the windshield for select car wash locations. It was super easy just a little different than we are used to! They made the exchange very simple and were incredibly kind in doing so. We will most certainly be renting from them in the future should we find ourselves back in Houston. Thank you so much Kierra and Andre!
My trip with Paris was my best rental experience thus far. His ability to communicate with me made everything effortless. He took the initiative to drop off the vehicle right at my airport gate, the car was smelled fresh, clean, and it drove so smooth! Throughout my trip if I had any questions Paris did not hesitate to assist. The vehicle was super great on gas, where I only took 1 trip to the gas station from Thursday to Monday! At the end of my trip, Paris was able to meet me at my departure gate at the airport and made the return process as easy as possible. I will definitely be ordering this vehicle again. Thank you for amazing customer service Paris!
My trip was AMAZING due to the vehicle Tauhha provided. The check in and out process for the vehicle was EASY and convenient. At the LAST minute I needed to extend my trip Tauhha was very flexible and allowed it to happen. The vehicle was sooooo nice and clean. When in Houston, do yourself a favor and book your rental vehicle with Tauhha.. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
I forgot to post cause I went to sleep but this was one of the easiest rentals I ever booked besides me having a bad day from previous experiences dealing with avis rental car but I’m thankful because I came on this app And the owner was very nice and understanding so I would be looking forward to rent again💯
Papa is such an amazing guy! I definitely will be making more trips to Houston!! This guy and cars are EVERYTHING
Amazing host! Answered all of our questions. Best experience i’ve had renting a car, would definitely recommend to anyone in houston.
Sweet car! Clean, luxurious, and the perfect rental if you’re a single dude visiting Houston on business/leasure. Tyrone was helpful and answered all of my calls and messages. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
This was the first time we’ve used Turo. It couldn’t have been easier to meet up with Daniel and get our car. The car was immaculate and fun to drive. Unfortunately, we had a family emergency and had to cut our trip short. Daniel was understanding and accommodating. This experience exceeded our expectations and we would definitely rent a car from Daniel again.
Great customer service. Walid was responsive and helpful with all my questions. This was my first time using Turo. I am satisfied and will use this service anytime I need to rent a car. Hopefully Walid will have a car available for me.
Aaron was fantastic!! He made everything so simple from pick up to drop off and communication was great! Car was just as pictured, nice and clean, and amazing on gas. It has just the right amount of space and was great for getting around Houston and Galveston. Aaron was super friendly and reliable, made the whole experience so easy, would most definitely rent from him again if I’m back in the area!
I had a no issues with renting with this beautiful couple. I was able to see pickup and drop off the car with no issues, ride was smooth even though Houston streets weren’t. I would definitely recommend anyone to rent from this great couple
It was the first time I rented from Ziya and it's been incredible experience. Ziya was humble and polite and we drove his car to Dallas and Austin from Houston. We had fun riding his car!
Best experience I’ve ever had with a rental car. Car was immaculately clean, full tank, easy drop off and pick up!
Beautiful car. Host was great, and responsive. I suggest this booking for your trip in Houston!
This was a great experience and the car was clean and great. Pj was great and flexible. He helped make sure I enjoyed my time in Houston. Will definitely rent from him again. Thanks again PJ
Carlos was an excellent host and provided a quality vehicle on quick-notice for my weekend trip. He provided continuous updates on the availability status and overall rental process. Thanks for the great experience Carlos!
Owner's customer service was great! Car is amazing! No hassle nor issues and owner picked up the tab on the toll road fee. Of all available Vettes in Houston, this is the best bang for your buck... My choice has been made! Placing order soon.
Erica was classy from beginning to end. Truly a pleasure and enjoyed the car a lot. Will definitely look to rent again when I’m in Houston.
Absolutely the most fun I’ve ever had driving around Houston! The Mini was a blast. Surprisingly high end interior and handles great. Mathew was the definition of professional host, and made sure our rental experience was flawless. Will be back for another booking soon! Thanks again.
First time Turo renter so I was a bit neurotic with all my questions. Georges was super helpful, friendly and responsive. Great customer service and excellent rental. Car was clean and my road trip was seamless. Would absolutely rent from Georges again.
Fahd was very responsive to our every need the car was wonderful I really enjoyed the luxury vehicle it was nice and clean! He was very nice guy we got to Texas and didn’t have a rental Fahd made sure we were on the road ASAP thanks again!!!
Great experience! Mena was very professional, cordial and quick responsive. The car was very clean and Mena made the the pick up/drop off experience very easy. A great, stress free addition to my trip to Houston. Thank you Mena! 😊
I couldn’t thank the host enough for my first Turo experience. It was a great one! The host was awesome. Great communication. The host was there during pickup and drop off helped me through the things I need to do for my first Turo go smoothly. The car was clean with low mileage. The host also has many nice cars you can choose from for your next trip. I highly recommend and will definitely use the same host for my next rental in Houston. Thanks guys!
Seriously fun car to drive! Quincy is super laid back and awesome to deal with. If I’m ever back in Houston, I’ll be looking him up for that sweet Mustang of his!
The perfect experience renting a car. The car was in great shape and the owner was simply great !! Friendly, supportive and very patient. Next time a go back to Houston, I’ll try to reach her again. Thank you very much to Myriam and Turo.
Abdul was awesome with clear instructions. Tesla is the way to go if you’re visiting Texas and plan on touring around. Supercharging stations are very convenient since Texas is so big. The car drove smoothly. Definitely made my first trip to Houston amazing.
Host is the most greatest host I ever had.. the car is so neat and clean. I look forward to rent again when in Houston
This was a great car to get around Houston on our trip. Joseph did a great job with the drop-off and pick-up of his car.
Yasir was an excellent renter. Great guy awesome car and super fair and was flexible with my tight schedule and changes (business) I will try and use him whenever I’m in Houston!
The process was completely hassle free this was my second rental from Tauhha. The car was amazing. I was running late at the end of my trip and he was very understanding about my situation. Will definitely use his services if needed again.
This was best rental car I've ever rented. Its quick, stylish, and a definite head turner. One of the best non expected perks was everytime i use valet service, the car was always parked in the front of the establishment to be shown off.
Mark was a great host and made my trip run smoothly. The car was in great condition and just what I needed it for. I highly recommend Mark for your rental needs and will rent again from him in the near future.
Loved this car and Quincy is a great host! He made sure there were no questions left unanswered or any miscommunication. Quick responses, great customer service, and made our trip convenient! We will definitely look to book again for our next visit in Houston!
Great car for the price. Super clean - similar to normal rental. Host was super flexible and understanding when my schedule changed mid-trip. Great experience overall and would rent with them again!
Yassir was very helpful and patient. Car is beautiful and clean. This made my first time trip to Houston amazing. Thank you Yassir!
Olu was awesome and very responsive. The car was really cute and extremely comfortable. The trip went smoothly. It was the 2nd time for me using the Turo app and he set the bar high besides making it so easy for both pick up and drop off. you are my go to guy for my future trips to Houston. God bless.
Will definitely rent again . Our family enjoyed our stay in Houston and car was really reliable to get around.
I rented this car for my birthday and Armando was very communicative and made sure the car was clean with a full tank of gas. Very fun and peppy car! Will rent again when I am back in Houston!
Eric was wonderful!! had a hiccup with the pick up but he remained patient as we figured it all out. he was understanding and flexible when i responded about any and all issues and ultimately..... just wanted me to have a good freaking time. i came to houston over a heartbreaking family event and he was such a positive and wholesome energy. the car was beautiful and i definitely ended my trip feeling more uplifted than i had anticipated. thank you eric! i’m looking forward to working with you for any and all future trips to texas 🥲
Amazing service and the car was exactly as pictured. I will definitely rent again when back in Houston.
Pickup was easy, the car was a joy to drive, and Ayman was A+. He also had great communication which helped a lot. I will look for his cars the next time I’m in Houston.

The car was great! It drove smoothly and was super clean and convenient for a weekend trip in Houston. Maceo was easy to work with and was quick with communication.
Absolutely stunning car that will make you want to purchase one for yourself. Giuseppe was a perfect host and always responded to my messages very quickly. Will definitely look to rent his car for a few days next time I am in Houston.

Car did what it was supposed to do and the pick up place was convenient. Car rental price point was great too!
Truly One of the best car rental experiences. Daniel is very flexible and helpful & highly recommended.
Tauhha, hands down is the best to rent from! He provides a fleet of luxury vehicles that are affordable. Communication and customer service is top tier. He responded less than a 1 minute for each text message.
The car was clean and in great condition. The owner was very accomodating and responsive. An excellent rental overall!
Chris was extremely helpful and courteous throughout our trip. His Tesla model s is a wonderful vehicle to get around Houston with and he was fantastic at explaining the ins and outs of the vehicle, where/how to charge it, and responded to messages almost immediately. Fantastic host and fantastic vehicle! Will definitely use his services again and recommend him to colleagues/friends visiting Houston.
It was a great experience! Definitely will rent again George was the best always responds! Great car suits my needs really well! THANKS George appreciate you!!
The car was very nice. Stephan was great when it came to communication and friendliness. He was very flexible when it came to my schedule while visiting Houston!
Rajiv was very friendly and also very helpful due to a last minute occasion to where we needed the car an extra day and he helpfully accepted! Very professional, highly recommend him and will let everyone I know traveling to Houston to work with Rajiv!
This car was perfect for my needs. There was nothing even close to this price for a rental car during my dates I was flying into the area. It was reliable and got me everywhere I needed to go for 4 whole days. Will book again!
Very responsive, easy pickup and drop off, great car and an overall 5 star rental. Thanks so much
This was my very first time renting through this medium. After booking a late flight, we arrived late in the evening and learned the rental car lots would be closed. My husband learned of Turo and suggested this alternative. Renting was very easy and convenient. The host of the vehicle was kind and accessible. It was a really good first time experience. I will rent again through Turo.
Amazing and accommodating host that was flexible with our schedule. Car was spotless and smelled great! Better experience than a rental car agency. Highly recommended.
Amazing service and great communication the entire trip. Loved the car. Would definitely recommend and rent again anytime I’m in town
Joseph was amazing host! Very great personality and was willing to accommodate any of my requests the best he could. His car rides so smooth no matter the road! The different drive modes available on the car made for a VERY luxurious or sporty ride depending on your mood! Very friendly person and a well kept vehicle! CANT BEAT THAT!! Definitely will be renting from him again! 10 stars if possible! Thank you!!
Great communication and nice car! Cynthia worked with me altering my trip. Will rent again!!
Head north to Montgomery to catch FM 149, which shoots your Houston car rental alternative through the Sam Houston Forest for decent twisties until you’re dropped into the swooping curves of FM 3090.
For views of the truly Texan wide-open range, head west in your Houston car rental alternative and take in the scenic rolling prairies that lead into the historic downtown Victoria.
Head south in your Houston car rental alternative to take this scenic road all the way to the coast, or stop off at Brazos Bend State Park for a does of wildlife and glassy lakes.
