Turo

Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book any car you want, wherever you want it, from a vibrant community of local hosts. It essentially allows you to start your own car rental business using your personal vehicle, earning money while your car would otherwise be parked.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What happens if my car gets damaged?

Turo provides liability insurance and physical damage protection plans. Guests are responsible for damage, and Turo facilitates the claims process to repair your vehicle.

2. Can I list any car?

No. Cars generally must be 12 years old or newer, have fewer than 130,000 miles, and have a clean title (no salvage/branded titles). Classic cars have different requirements.

3. How much can I earn?

Earnings vary by car model and location. Turo claims the average host earns over $10,000 per year with one car, but this depends heavily on utilization. Luxury and unique cars often command higher daily rates.

4. How does the key handoff work?

You can meet the guest in person to check their license and hand over keys, or you can install a remote unlocking device (like Turo Go) for contactless check-in.

5. When do I get paid?

Turo initiates payment 3 days after the trip ends. Funds are deposited directly into your bank account via Stripe.
