    Horrible experience, last rental the host tried to hit me with a $55 bogus charge which I disputed. Turo did not do anything to investigate and send it to collections! It's not worth a little bit of money that you will save.

    I used Turo for the first and last time recently. Upon returning the car as per the instructions, I was charged a $42 dollar fee for no parking ticket. I left the parking ticket above the visor.... which to me makes sense. There we no specific instructions on where to leave it. I disputed the charge with the hosts and Turo customer service. I was denied and told I should have taken a picture of the ticket. Nowhere in the drop off instructions, didn’t specify where it say to take a picture of the parking ticket?!?! Seems like they are trying to sweeten their pot after your rental is complete.

    First of all Steph’s rental did not give me good directions to find the vehicle. They just gave the address. But I needed to know the hotel so I could use the shuttle. It took a long time. I finally found an information desk. They found the hotel and directed me to the hotel. Then my daughter and I were dropped off in the middle of a big parking lot and had to search for the car. The car was old and did not have gps or Bluetooth. The cord they provided was old and stopped working half way through the trip. So we had to purchase a new one. Luckily my friend that met us knew where a gas station was because both mine and my daughter’s phone died because we were using our phone gps because the vehicle had no gps.

    Then my friend that helped us had hoped in the car with us to find a gas station. She had a small dog. The dog left a bit of foot print and a bit of fur. They charged me $180 to have the vehicle cleaned. No rental cars company charges a cleaning fee. It’s very common for rental cars to be returned dirty. But this car was very clean. Very slight dirt. Steph’s rental and Turo don’t seem to value their customers. I won't use them again.

    We have successfully used the Turo app and enjoyed the easy inexpensive process until this last trip. Like many other reviews, our trip was cancelled just hours before we were to pick up the car. We had to scramble to get another car from a rental place at the airport causing a lot of stress and triple the amount. The host was listed as a '5 Star Host' (Tigran G). There is no way to review a host unless you actually get the car so be aware of the 5 Star Rating as it doesn't mean a thing. I was on the phone with Turo for a very frustrating long time with no resolution.

    I’ve used Turo more than 10 times over the years without a single issue, but my most recent experience was unbelievable and extremely disappointing. I had a confirmed reservation (Reservation #**) scheduled for November 1–4, 2025 at the Pensacola Airport. When I arrived, Turo’s system suddenly refused to verify my identity—even though my account has been active and verified for years. I spent nearly three hours on the phone with Turo support while they tried (and failed) to figure out why their system malfunctioned. No one could explain the problem, and no solution was provided. Because of this, I was completely locked out of the vehicle I had already booked and paid for.

    With no help from Turo and no way to access the car, I was forced to rent a vehicle last-minute from an airport agency at a much higher cost. To make matters worse, after their own system prevented me from using the vehicle, Turo still attempted to charge me for the rental. I have never been treated like this by Turo before, and the situation was handled poorly from start to finish. Their verification failure, lack of answers, and attempt to bill me for a car I never even touched was unacceptable. I hope they address these system issues so no one else ends up stranded the way I did.

    We rented recently from Turo in AZ. It was a disaster from the start. First the car was poorly maintained- needed new shocks, chip in windshield and dings all over the car. We were only provided a valet key and when we addressed this with the host she yelled and was very rude. Yelled at us and made us concerned for our safety. She said no one had ever complained about using only a valet key? In addition we were tracked the entire rental with an Apple AirTag- this is against policy with Turo. When we addressed this with Turo customer service they said there was nothing they could do. This is a company that does not care about their customer base and because of this experience we will never rent from Turo again. Your safety in a poorly maintained car, a rude host and poor customer care is not worth the risk.

    DO NOT USE. SCAMMED $700. Use a legitimate car rental service. Was given a car pickup location, no car was there. No host was able to be contacted and they used the phone number of a local business that had nothing to do with car rentals. Wasted an extra $150 on Uber getting 2 and from the fake car location. Customer service is difficult to contact and slow, 7-10 business days for a refund. Confused how they even allowed this scammer onto the platform and wonder if anyone can just put up a fake listing. Name of host was “Hargen” and the car was a KIA.

    This is a terrible service. We had a car lined up for two months for a trip to Florida. While we were boarding our plane to our destination, TURO cancelled our car the day of (2 hours before the scheduled pic up). We had two hours to scramble and find another car through another service. When we called TURO, they said this "happens a lot." Do not use if you want a smooth process.

    Turo is by far the most shady business I have ever done business with, will not repeat. Never have I experienced the absolute runaround this company has given me. We booked a Turo, well in advance, and had a death in the family which caused a funeral to attend the same day we were supposed to pick up our Turo. This trip was with friends, so there were 4 other people that were all licensed drivers available to pick up the Turo I booked.

    Two weeks before our trip, I reached out to the host/owner and let them know of our issue, they said no problem, just have one of the other people in your party upload their information to be approved to drive and pick up the vehicle. Seems simple, but Turo does not allow anyone but the person who booked the vehicle to take delivery of it, apparently unknown to the host/owner of the Turo we booked.

    The day of our trip, which we were not at the funeral in another part of the country as our friends were flying to the destination to enjoy the trip we had all planned, they received information they could not pick the vehicle up, only I could. I dealt with constant interruption during the funeral trying to get this resolved for our friends. They were also trying to get it resolved on their end. All to no avail. We ended up having to cancel, that took a fight, but I did get refunded for the amount of the vehicle, but we still had to get another vehicle rented that would fit 6 adults and luggage for when we joined the group a day later as to rebook the same Turo was going to cost os twice what the original booking cost. My friends did find another vehicle at a better cost than what Turo was going to charge me to rebook the exact same vehicle, even still, it was about $300 more than my original booking, but less than half as much as rebooking the original Turo even though Turo told us it would be a nominal difference. Apparently, twice as much is nominal...

    I have had constant contact with Turo, who has agreed to refund me the difference in cost on 4 occasions now, yet has not posted the credit to my credit card as they repeatedly said they would. We are not almost 2 months in trying to get what I feel is a nominal refund that Turo’s reps have told is approved, yet Turo has not followed through. This is a runaround from what I now believe is a shady company at best. I will never do business with this company and would strongly urge anyone that reads this to do the same. There are quite a few public reviews of people having issues with refunds from Turo.

    On October 10th 2025, my family and I experienced an unacceptable and distressing situation caused by Turo. Three weeks after our vehicle reservation was confirmed and fully paid for, Turo abruptly canceled the booking while we were in flight. Initially, Turo representatives claimed there was an issue with our credit card payment and that they had never received the funds. After confirming with my credit card company, I learned this statement was false—Turo had in fact received payment, as evidenced by the partial refund they later issued.

    When confronted with this discrepancy, Turo changed their explanation, claiming the cancellation was due to a software glitch following a system update and that the host’s vehicle was no longer available. However, the host stated the cancellation came directly from Turo and the vehicle was indeed still listed and available. Despite repeated communication, Turo’s customer service offered no assistance, provided inconsistent and misleading explanations, and ultimately told us there was nothing they could do after leaving us with no vehicle for our vacation.

    Their representatives were dismissive and unhelpful, leaving us stranded during a holiday weekend when no other rental options were available. Turo retained a partial payment for a service they did not deliver, and as a result, I had to file a dispute with my credit card company and report this incident as fraudulent activity. This conduct demonstrates a lack of honesty, accountability, and customer care. After doing some research on the internet, I've discovered that this is a very common situation with Turo. I am requesting the BBB to review this matter and take appropriate action to hold Turo responsible for these unethical business practices.

    I had a horrible experience with Turo customer service. My car insurance company gave me incorrect information, telling me I would need to buy additional insurance through Turo. I did this and doubled the cost of my Turo rental. The day my 1.5 month-long trip started, my insurance called me back to apologize for giving me bad information and said that they DID cover a Turo rental. I called Turo that same day to cancel my protection plan. The Support agent told me they'd take care of it.

    The next day I called to make sure it had gone through (because I didn't see anything on my account) and they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. They finally reviewed the previous day's conversation and said they'd follow up to get me the refund. Two days later, still no refund. I called again and was told I was out of luck because it's against their policy to refund you for any protection plan after your trip starts. I spoke to a manager who confirmed the first person gave me bad information and that there was nothing they could do. I'm out $552.

    My experience with Turo was horrible. I have rented once and tried hosting. The person that rented my SUV kept it 2 days without paying, brought it back damaged and I have all the photos needed to provide them with the information they need for me to file a claim. They rejected it and don't even have the date of the trip correct. The customer service has been horrible. They give you the runaround and deny all claims unless your car is in a wreck I suppose.

    Rented a Toyota Sienna 2016 model in December 2025. Car was in worse shape than advertised with existing body dents and scratches. Returned the car to the owner after a 3 day trip to Lake Tahoe. Car owner filed damage claims totaling more than $9K without any incident/police/insurance reports claiming dents to front, rear and side along with other body damage.

    Turo contacted my private insurance Mercury. Mercury mentions that there was no proof I am responsible for the damages given no police/insurance reports. Mercury added that owner's comprehensive plan should cover any scratches from road hazard and weather (there was hail during my trip). Turo, without prior notice and consent, took $500 directly from my bank account. Turo offered no way to challenge the damage claims.

    Turo is only as good as the individuals who put their cars up for rent through Turo. And, there are ways car owners can cheat the system and this hurts those renting cars. For example, we recently rented a car that was 1.3 miles away from where it was supposed to be, something they did to make it seem it was closer to the airport. We've also had cars where the owner, I am sure, has multiple claims through Turo on it, but instead of fixing it leaves the scrapes and keeps making money off autobody invoices.

    Bad apples ruin it for everyone. I am sure the same could be said of some renters. But after taking into account the $1200 I had to pay to fix a 3 inch scratch that I don't know when or how it happened (it was on the side of the back door like someone opened a door into it in the parking lot), it doesn't save money using Turo and just is more hassle. And that isn't for fixing the car, it is the owner's scam to make money. Sadly, our world has more folks who are emboldened to cheat the system these days and until Turo develops systems to stop this, I will rent from car rental companies.

    This company is a scam! They make you pay upfront and then if you shorten your trip they will not refund your money. People say all the time never pay a contractor upfront. This applies to rental companies as well. I had to shorten my trip by 2 weeks and they will not refund my days I did not use the car. So now, they keep my money and they rent out and additional trip for the days I had pay for, thus they are getting twice the money. Stay away from this company.

    This was my first experience renting with Turo. I returned the vehicle only a few minutes past the 30-minute grace period and informed the host in advance that I was delayed due to traffic. The host acknowledged the message and did not warn me that a fee equivalent to half a daily rate would be charged for such a short delay.

    The host was not waiting at the airport to receive the car and sent a fueling receipt with a timestamp long after the grace period, which clearly shows that no loss, cost, or inconvenience was caused by the extra few minutes. The fee functions as a punitive penalty rather than a reasonable reimbursement, and it was not properly disclosed at the time I notified of the delay. I am requesting a full reversal of this late return fee.

    Be extremely careful when adding additional drivers. If the added driver has an existing account, the invite MUST be sent to the same email address as they used to set up their account. We thought we had done everything correct, but when the added driver accepted the invite, Turo logged him in with his existing account. The accepted invite did not get linked back to the reservation. Ultimately, we got stuck with a bill for $18,302.98 for damages. So yes, go ahead and book with Turo, but please be careful.

    I have been a Turo customer since 2023 and was a regular renter until April of 2025. My last rental was April 20-23, 2025. My dealings and interactions with hosts have been nothing but positive. My complaint is about Turo corporate and their ability or inability to handle a claim. On this trip, someone backed into me. The details were input into the claim report I made on Turo, as well as backed up by the police report, which I submitted to both Turo and the owner of the vehicle as soon as I obtained it from the police department. The accident was not my fault and my insurance was never involved. The claim went through the insurance company of the individual who hit me.

    Turo put a block on my account that prevented me from making another rental unless I paid a fee of $3000. For an accident that was not my fault and that the police report stated was not my fault. I spoke with someone back in early May and they explained that would stay on my account until the vehicle was repaired and returned to the owner and Turo had verification that it had been resolved. This does not make any sense at all... A customer should not be punished for something that was not their responsibility and for something that outside insurance was paying for. However, I didn't have a choice, so I accepted it. I was told this process would take no more than 3 months. Which again, is insane, but whatever.

    After 3 months, the situation was still not resolved. I called Turo and spoke with someone, who told me that they didn't have verification that the claim had been paid and didn't have the subrogation information from the insurance company. I spoke with the owner of the vehicle, who verified that the vehicle has been repaired and returned to him. In fact, the vehicle is also now listed as available on Turo again. I spoke with the agent at the insurance company that paid the claim, who informed me that two payments had been made, one to the owner of the vehicle and one to the body shop. He gave me the dates those payments had been made. I also asked him to ensure that the subrogation information was sent over. He informed me that had already been done, but that he would request another copy of it be sent over. I then called Turo back and gave them all of this information.

    It has now been more than 5 months. Turo still has a hold on my account. I am still not able to rent until I pay a $3000 fee. At this point, I'm questioning the ethics of this company. The body shop has been paid. The owner of the vehicle has been paid and has the vehicle back and is again making money on the vehicle. So this $3000 Turo is demanding of me is for who? I'm guessing Turo pockets that?

    I've called and spoken to Customer Service. They tell me that they see that an email has been sent to the department that handles the subrogation information, but there's no response from them and no one has done anything about updating the information to clear my account. It was recommended to me today that I once again call the insurance company and obtain proof from them of the payments made for the repair of the vehicle. This is information that I obtained and provided to Turo TWO months ago. I am not sure why I'm being asked to do this again. For that matter, I'm not sure why I am being asked to do the job of YOUR company.

    I'm so far beyond frustrated at this point. I want my account cleared. I prefer to keep my money local and would rather spend my rental money with members of my community than large corporations. However, in the next two months, I will be making approximately 6-8 work trips coming up that I need to rent vehicles for and at this point, will need to look at taking my money elsewhere. Additionally, if I'm not able to resolve this, I'll be lodging formal complaints with whatever authorities I can. I would appreciate an actual resolution to this situation, as well as speaking with someone who can actually get the situation resolved, instead of continuing to speak with people who tell me that they can't do anything about it and can't give me any answers and can't speak with anyone who can give me any answers.

    In our opinion, the Turo business model favors protection of people who put their cars in the rental pool, not the people who rent the cars. For our first time using the app, we rented a 2011 Chrysler 200 out of Portland, OR from Jacob B. The pretrip photos he submitted didn't match the car's condition when we picked it up and took our own photos and video. This rightly raised our suspicions right off the bat. Sure enough, after turning in the car and taking post trip photos, we got a notification from the owner that we had caused damage. We knew then this was a scammer. Long story short, don't agree to settle anything directly with owner because you have no way to refute or challenge them. Jacob tried really hard to get us to work with him directly saying when you go through Turo they tack on extraordinary fees. Maybe so but it's the only way to challenge scams like Jacob's.

    We got Turo involved and in the end, the damage charges were dropped only because we documented the car so well and called Jacob's scam out. He not only makes money renting out his many many cars he has in the rental pool but pads those dollars with more dollars from damage claims. Turo encouraged us to work directly with Jacob too, but our lawyer said, "Protect yourself." So we will not be using Turo again and encourage others to beware if you choose to.

    I reserved a car at the Tampa Airport through Turo. I found the specified vehicle in the Economy Parking Garage right where I was told it would be. Unfortunately, the battery was dead. I called the owner/operator of the vehicle, who was extremely apologetic, and sent someone to take a look. After determining that the car needed a new battery, I was back in contact with the operator. They found me a different car, but needed Turo to cancel my current reservation and initiate a new one. Cut to TWO HOURS LATER, and four different Turo customer service reps, I still had no new reservation. After waiting for two hours in a parking garage at night (after a long flight), I decided to give up and figure something else out. Essentially, I left with nothing. Turo has terrible customer service who cannot seem to figure out such a simple task as to swapping out a car that doesn't work for one that does.

This ruined our scheduled plans and showed a massive **lack of consideration**. To compensate, Alan B. offered an extension of **two extra hours** (plus the 30-minute grace period), which was clearly documented via text thru Turo's messaging app.

    Despite returning the car within this agreed-upon 2.5-hour extension, "Shockingly," after I submitted a positive review, Alan B. immediately charged me for an **entire extra day plus a late fee**. He is a **schemer** and not a man of his word- he renegotiated the terms, only to steal my hard-earned money anyway. **Turo failed to support me** despite the clear text evidence, their employee and supervisor even agreeing with me, only to uphold the charge based on a technicality. Upholding the host's dishonesty demonstrates a severe lack of integrity and allows its hosts to steal customers' hard-earned money. **Bad business- I strongly advise everyone to seek other rental services.** I will not spend another cent with a company that tolerates this level of deceit from its hosts and stands by it.

    -The customer service/support at Turo has been an on going nightmare for me. After an unsafe vehicle was rented to me and broke down mid trip, Turo directed me to put the car on a tow truck and I'll have a replacement within 2 hours maximum. I was left in remote area in AZ with no replacement car and no cares from the support team. I was directed by their team to find a 3rd party rental, get myself home then submit for reimbursement. I paid over double with the 3rd party to get home what I originally paid with Turo.

    Here I am a month later still getting zero cares and zero reimbursement from their support team. Their internal teams don't seem to communicate with each other, I'm told my case will be "escalated" and I'll be contacted back but nobody ever calls. My cases are continuously closed out and it's impossible to speak to a manager.

    -The cost of my original rental was refunded. Though I paid double that to get home via 3rd party and was promised reimbursement. -Despite me doing exactly as I was directed with going through 3rd party, submitting my expenses and having a screenshot guarantee from support promising reimbursement, I'm left with nothing.

    -Over 5 hours spent on the phone with support, repeating my story over and over, even being hung-up on and support team openly saying "my other colleague lied to". -I work in customer support myself, I've dealt with escalations on a daily basis and I'm blown away the lack of empathy and ethics Turo has shown. -Hoping this review will give others some insight into what support is like here and catch the attention of somebody at Turo who can make this situation right for me.

    I was permanently banned from Turo years ago after a false “smoking in vehicle” allegation. I am not a smoker and never smoked in the car, yet I paid the fine in full. Recently, an executive support agent first told me my account was reactivated and all I needed to do was update my driver’s license. After I did that, my account was blocked again, and the same agent contradicted himself with a vague denial citing “risk flags.” Turo has given me inconsistent and unfair treatment, and I am requesting a transparent review and reinstatement of my account.

    We’ve been hosting on Turo for several years and currently manage a fleet of four Teslas in Austin. What started as a promising partnership has become an incredibly frustrating experience, and over the last year host support has fallen off a cliff. Here are just a few of the ongoing issues:
    • Insurance claims go nowhere. Even when we submit everything on time and provide Tesla’s official documentation, Turo delays, ignores us, or hides behind technicalities until they can deny the claim. We’ve spent weeks chasing “escalations” that never happen.

    • Revenue is taken away. Guests have been able to damage our cars, still use them for their full reservation, and then somehow walk away with almost a full refund—directly out of our earnings. Turo always sides with the guest, no matter what evidence the host provides.

    • False reviews stand. Guests can post inaccurate or retaliatory reviews that hurt our reputation, and even when we prove the claims are false, Turo refuses to remove them. Their policies are applied inconsistently, always to the host’s disadvantage.

    • System failures punish hosts. The app has failed to notify us of reservation changes, leaving us scrambling. Instead of accountability from Turo for their broken system, we face the threat of penalties and refund losses.

    This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s devastating for hosts like us who run a real business. We’ve invested in multiple vehicles, kept them meticulously maintained, and gone out of our way to accommodate guests. In return, Turo has shown a pattern of neglect, indifference, and outright hostility toward hosts. The emotional toll is real too. We no longer feel like partners with Turo—we feel exploited. Every interaction leaves us wondering what new way Turo will find to strip revenue from our work, ignore our claims, or undermine our reputation. Bottom line: Turo has become a one-sided platform where guests are empowered to exploit the system and hosts are left unprotected. If you’re considering becoming a host, be prepared for stress, financial loss, and zero meaningful support.

    Last month traveling from San Diego to Honolulu. I decided to attempt to rent a Turo car. Unfortunately, for me, my cell phone, malfunction, and I could not charge it. So I rented the car off of my iPad. I found out on Wi-Fi on the flight that they canceled me because I did not verify my phone number. I told them when I did the rental that my phone was malfunctioning. So I ended up in Hanna a little bit with no car. To make it worse. I find out that they charged me $100 on my credit card bill. After an hour going through red tape and talking to people, in I believe Pakistan, they said they would refund me, but they never did.

    Turo takes $ from the host for “insurance” and then they also take $ from the renter for insurance and then when something goes wrong, they don’t want to pay fairly… they are double-dipping and then not paying fair when things go wrong. This is unethical. One of my cars got in an accident and found out many body shops will not work with Turo because they are not fair.

    The guest paid for the highest insurance plan with Turo - but I’m ending up going through his “personal” insurance because Turo insurance is a joke at a very high price. I’ve called twice trying to get my car towed to a body shop and it’s still hasn’t been done…. I also had a jeep where the guests took it off road and admitted it in Turo message. It's “prohibited”. I also sent the guest a friendly reminder when the trip started- they still took it off-road. Turo wouldn’t do anything about it ~ no violation fee ~ so basically they can take it off-road.

On the highway the steering started wobbling at speeds over 100 kms - seems like a wheel alignment should have been done. Also the van came with winter tire in the peak of summer - the tires were almost bald - when questioned the owner said he was just using it till the end of its lifespan. What if the tire blew out on the highway. All in all it was not worth it - the costs add on with the trip price, then a trip fee and and a very high fee for standard protection - you have to pay a deductible of $500 if there is a claim.

    This was my very first Turo rental, and the host made me feel very unsafe. I arrived at the location he instructed at Pearson International Airport, at the correct time. I was about to start taking pictures but the host stopped me. He stated I could not take pictures there because parking wasn’t permitted and he would get ticketed. He said we need to move the car “slightly”. He sat down in the driver's seat and requested I help by sitting in the passenger side. However, he never stopped driving and drive himself to the adjacent city against my will and without any notice. There was nothing about this communicated to me in the pick up instructions. I told him I was uncomfortable and getting late for the wedding I was supposed to attend, near my lodging near the airport. He argued that he was not making enough money and that Turo was paying him in sufficiently to afford an Uber back home. So he required me to take him home.

    I later learned there is a train from right within the airport that could have taken him home, and that public transit was very convenient. He persisted driving in spite of my refusals and kept saying it was “just a couple more minutes away.” It was not. I lost nearly one hour of fuel and time by the time I made it back to the airport area. Further affecting safety was a very large crack in the windshield which was not disclosed prior to rental. The entire experience was scary and anxiety-provoking.

    As soon as he left the car I called Turo and held on the phone with them for 45 minutes while they intermittently kept checking with their supervisor. They stated the host's actions were wrong but offered me no recourse or compensation. When it was time to return the car, the host asked me, repeatedly x3 to pick him up at a residential address in a different city rather than return the car to the originally agreed upon location. He persisted doing so in spite of me communicating my strong discomfort.

    I called in and wrote a formal email complaint with Turo and requested some remediation or compensation be offered. They did not respond. The host used the car for nearly one hour of my paid time. He was dishonest about the purpose of needing to move the car and left me feeling very scared. He persisted scaring me even when I told him I did not want to drive to the adjacent city, and he persisted asking me to pick him up at his home address to end the rental in spite of my discomfort. I will never use Turo after this experience, as it’s clear the company doesn’t care about the safety of its customers.

    Title: Willful Misrepresentation & Bad Faith - A Warning to All Consumers. Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 Star). Subtitle: Turo does not sell insurance. They sell a false sense of security to avoid paying claims. I am writing this review to warn every potential customer about Turo's deliberately deceptive business practices. My experience was not just poor customer service; it was a masterclass in bad faith and misleading advertising.

    The Deception: From the moment you book, Turo uses the language of insurance. They offer "protection plans," ask you to choose your "coverage level," and explain "deductibles." As a consumer, you are led to believe you are purchasing a regulated insurance product for peace of mind. THIS IS A LIE. Turo's "protection plan" is an unregulated, worthless contract designed to deny claims. I purchased what was marketed as a top-tier plan, believing I was fully covered.

    The Bad Faith: When I needed to file a claim for legitimate vehicle damage, Turo's machine of denial sprang into action. They did not conduct a fair investigation. They ignored evidence, sided with their host without justification, and then presented me with an inflated bill for thousands of dollars. Their process is designed to frustrate and intimidate you into paying. They operate in a regulatory gray area they created for themselves, ensuring you have no recourse through traditional insurance channels.

    The Resolution: After being stonewalled by Turo, I reported them to the California Department of Insurance. The CDI's response was clear: "...there is no applicable insurance policy at issue here..." The state regulator confirmed that Turo is not selling insurance, despite marketing itself as if it does. I am now taking Turo to small claims court to recover my losses. I have also filed complaints with the California Attorney General and the FTC for deceptive business practices.

    Final Warning: Do not be fooled by Turo's slick app and marketing. You are not buying a protected rental. You are entering a high-risk agreement with a company that has built its business model on avoiding accountability. The few dollars you might save over a traditional rental company are not worth the thousands of dollars of risk you are accepting. My advice: Use a licensed, regulated, and legitimate car rental company. Your financial security is not worth gambling on Turo.

    I have a bad experience with Turo: While I was renting out my 2018 Hyundai Elantra through Turo, one of the guests severely damaged the engine after using the vehicle for about a week. The car stopped running due to a complete oil leak. I immediately contacted Turo. They acknowledged the issue and told me it was the guest's fault and that they would handle it. I had the car towed to a mechanic shop at their request, where it remained untouched for over a week. Turo claimed an inspector would come to assess the damage.

    After a long delay, the inspector finally examined the car and cited an old oil change sticker, claiming the engine failure was due to me not changing the oil for over 2,000 miles. Based on this, Turo denied my claim. I believe this decision is unfair and inaccurate, for several reasons: I have maintained regular oil changes for the vehicle and can provide records as evidence. Even if the oil change was slightly overdue, modern engines don’t fail immediately from a 2,000-mile delay. The car would have given the guest warning lights or other alerts if there was an oil issue, which they ignored. The guest drove the vehicle for a full week without reporting any problems, indicating the car was functioning normally when they received it.

    Turo dismissed my claim entirely based on a questionable report, without considering the evidence or circumstances. I have now lost the use of my car and am being held responsible for damage caused during a Turo rental. I respectfully request your help in investigating this matter further. I can provide all documentation, including oil change history, mechanic assessments, and emails exchanged with Turo. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Unfortunately, our Host was very slow to respond. Turo customer service tried to help by arranging an Uber or Lyft to pick us up, but no drivers were available. The situation became even more complicated due to Turo's rules—if we tried to switch vehicles (which wasn’t even an option because Turo had no availability), we would have needed to return the car to its original location. With no replacement vehicle and our return flight just two days away, we found ourselves completely stuck. We were ultimately forced to drive the malfunctioning van—slowly and carefully—for over an hour, knowing it wasn’t operating at full power. Otherwise, we would have been stranded.

    I do not recommend this company for your car rental needs. While Turo’s terms and conditions state that renters should return vehicles in reasonably clean condition, this particular owner requires full professional detailing after use—an expectation that goes beyond standard practice and places an undue burden on the renter. However, each owner expects renters to complete full detailing of the vehicle after use, which is unreasonable and not in line with standard rental practices. These terms should be reviewed and addressed by Turo. For a more consistent and professional rental experience, I suggest using a national car rental company instead.

    I can’t even begin to describe how disappointed and devastated I am with my booking through Turo. I rented a car for five days, but the host never showed up to deliver the vehicle. After I had to Uber to the pickup location (which was already a hassle), it became clear that the host was apparently away on some Uber work trip. I was left completely stranded with no car, no solution, and zero help from Turo. Their customer service didn’t do anything but confirm what I already knew – I was without a car. I’m beyond frustrated with the complete lack of communication and care.

    To make matters worse, my family situation was dire. My dad is in the hospital, fighting for his life at 89, possibly with advanced cancer, and I was left in a position where I couldn’t even get to him because of this mess. This situation has been heartbreaking, and Turo's complete indifference and failure to act made an already painful time even worse.

    I trusted Turo to provide a service, but instead, I got nothing but stress and disappointment. Do NOT trust them with your travel plans, especially during difficult times. They offer zero support when you need it most. The worst part of Turo’s policy is, I can’t even leave a review for the guy who didn’t show up because they consider that situation where the trip never starts as you don’t get to review him. I don’t get to warn anybody about this. He gets to continue to negligently or intentionally screw people over and that’s all with the help of Turo and their policies. I don’t know where this company is based, but they are not irresponsible company.

    Turo is not host-friendly. As a car owner who’s given the platform multiple chances, I’ve had renters slash my leather seats, leave my Tesla trashed with sticky substances and stains, and submit false reviews… and in every case, Turo has done nothing to support me. Even with clear photos, videos, and reports, they’ve denied my claims, including reasonable cleaning fee requests. When one guest vandalized my interior, Turo’s “solution” was for me to negotiate with the guest myself, who then went on to threaten me. We pay Turo fees expecting protection, but instead, we receive zero accountability and no support.

    To make it worse, when guests leave inaccurate negative reviews (like falsely claiming there’s a maintenance issue), Turo won’t correct or remove them, even with proof. It’s extremely frustrating to be penalized while following all the rules and going above and beyond to maintain my car and make guests happy. This platform may work well for guests, but if you’re a host thinking of listing your car, be prepared to absorb damage, cleaning costs, and reputation hits, with no help from Turo.

    Do NOT rent your vehicles on this horrible platform. All of their policies are created to force the host to eat the cost of damages. If a guest does not want to pay, Turo will not make them pay. Guest insurance through Turo is actually a bad thing, if a guest has a low Turo deductible, all that means is you as the host have to pay the excess. Guests are allowed to smoke in your car with no fines. Denied claims are obnoxious as they never tell you why they are denying them. The sad thing is this could be such a good idea, Turo just decided to operate with incredibly bad faith for hosts and subsequently, you either have cheap cars that guests destroy at your expense, or you have expensive cars that lose more to depreciation and maintenance than they earn.

    I first used Turo a few months ago and had a Rather average experience. Decided to try again. Three days ago I had a reservation to use them again, this time with an airport pick up in Denver. Was rather disappointed to find the vehicle in terrible condition. With tires in dire need of replacing, including the spare, which looked like it was experiencing dry rot. Large pieces of vehicle's body were missing and the vehicle itself was absolutely filthy. A Phone call to the vehicle's Owner went directly to a user busy message. Message sent through the app to the vehicle owner was never returned.

    I called Turo directly, hoping that this was just a one off, and that they would be quick to remedy the situation, as I was presently standing stranded in a parking lot of a long-term airport parking facility. No such luck. The best the representative could do for me was to give me a refund, but that obviously did not solve the actual problem of needing a vehicle. I actually found an alternative of similar price on the Turo app, but he explained he was not authorized to do anything to make that happen.

    It seemed pretty clear that he was not authorized to provide the resolution that was needed, so I asked to speak with a manager. His first reaction was to tell me that manager was going to tell me the exact same thing that he had told me. When I persisted, he explained that a manager would reach out within 48 hours. That was three days ago and I have yet to hear from anyone from Turo.

    Luckily, the airport parking shuttle was willing to take me to the Enterprise counter, where I ultimately rented a brand new Jeep Wrangler for approximately seven dollars more than I had spent with Turo. I have told dozens of people about my experience already, and cannot imagine ever using Turo again. Sad, really, as I do admire the concept.

We were told by the agent on the phone that Turo would reimburse us for this exorbitant cost since there were no other cars available. So we moved forward, in good faith based on what they told us, and rented the car.

    Long story short, they never reimbursed us. And even went as far as to claim that they tried to put us in another Turo car but we were “not satisfied” with any options and WE opted to go with the more expensive car. LIES AFTER LIES AFTER LIES.

    I've been a Turo user for years. Even was a host at one point. However my last trip to south Florida landed me a parking ticket for beach parking (apparently as there still is no evidence of the ticket placed on the vehicle... photo proof down below). Exactly 45 days after the rental ended I get a notice from the host on turo of a $65 ticket that was given while the vehicle was in my possession. He sent proof of the ticket that was mailed to him however I had to ask where the vehicle was ticketed as I never seen a ticket on the vehicle ever.

    I called the city of Hollywood beach Florida parking division and was told that it's not uncommon for tickets to blow away (Knowing this, why wouldn't they take photographic evidence of the ticket on the vehicle). However the city of Hollywood stated that they would waive the fees and accept the $40 original ticket amount. Problem was turo already paid the ticket. On top of just accepting the cities $25 late fee, turo decided to add ANOTHER airport fee on top of their fees.

    I started my dispute and would have happily paid the $40 ticket. Even though I feel it is purely abusive to be ticketed and not get a ticket, if I'm wrong I pay my dues. However the abusive billing practices of just rushing to pay $25 late fees on top of being DOUBLE BILLED airport fees is abuse that I won't accept. Turo enjoys knowing that the higher the billing the more fees they get to charge. Please reconsider using turo and knowing they don't care about their guests. There was no attempt to contact me about the ticket to pay direct, resolve the situation. They just take charge and run wild with my pocketbook. Had Turo or the host reached out to me first, I would have called the city and paid this immediately and had the $25 fee waived. Since they didn't, I'm not going to just bow down to their process.

    Do better turo. Also be mindful before you consider Jorge B vehicle as he doesn't care to reach out first and ask if it's something you can take care of before being handed over. Once this dispute is over, I'll be ending my turo account and not give my business to this company. Sure they are convenient but I'm doing my part and not giving this company my money and support.

However, when I booked a new car, this credit was not applied (and because of this credit, I have booked a much more expensive car!).

    Beware of Turo - horrible, horrible management! I have had the last three trips IN A ROW that I attempted to book with Turo, cancelled the DAY BEFORE I was supposed to travel. There is no accountability and no way to even leave a review to warn people of the bad hosts. Everyone has a 5 star rating and it's curious where they're getting those reviews when you can't leave them as a consumer. It leaves you out of luck and scrambling in a mad dash to pay premium prices for a last minute rental from a big box car company. Not worth the $50 savings. At least with the big companies, I know I can count on them to deliver a car on the day of my trip!

    I realize that these were 3 different people, and maybe I got unlucky 3 times with 3 bad hosts, but clearly, if it's so easy to cancel on a booked trip the day before the trip, Turo is not providing any sort of management on these hosts. One of the hosts told me that the previous rental guest wanted to extend the rental dates, so he decided to just bump me to a different car. Then he found out that other car was already booked as well, so I was basically out of luck. Another host just cancelled 2 days before the trip with no explanation and no response. What a mess.

After spending almost 8 hours on the phone with their so-called "assistance," the best they could do was offer a Lyft to get us from Vegas to LA the next morning (not what we wanted but whatever, we were desperate). Morning comes, and surprise, surprise—NO DRIVER was willing to take the ride because it was too far.

    We were stranded, my friend had a flight to catch in LA that evening, and Turo’s “support” left us completely on our own. We had to spend MORE money on Ubers, book a last-minute car from a REAL rental company, and hope for the best. All this while panicking, stressed out, and furious. And guess what? It’s been a week since we emailed them with every single receipt and detail of what we went through. Not a single refund. Not an ounce of help. NOTHING. Just silence.

    Turo RUINED our vacation. They left us stranded, ignored our complaints, and refuse to take responsibility for their incompetence. They are unreliable, unprofessional, and honestly dangerous—because what if this had happened somewhere remote or less accessible? Save yourself the headache, stress, and money. Do NOT trust Turo with your travel plans. Ever. I’ll be posting this review EVERYWHERE until they stop ignoring us and refund every penny we wasted because of their failure.

    Jeff made sure we had the car we needed and it was delivered clean, on time, and was a smooth transaction. We were impressed by how clean it was (it looked like he’d had it detailed), and had a full tank of gas. We used it to attend the famous Blue Angels Homecoming air show and were very pleased to have a convertible because we spent the first part of the show in a traffic jam and were able to view the aircraft with the top down. The car drove beautifully. The engine light came on and we had it checked by a mechanic and texted Jeff the print out. He immediately texted back and said he had checked with the mechanic and told us to continue the term of the rental and he would take care of the car when we returned it. Apparently there was not a mechanical problem but a sensor problem. He immediately responded to my questions from before we arrived to the time I returned it.

So as I’m driving to my destination I get there I turn the car off. I go by my business. Later I come back to the car. I try to start it and it won't start. I inbox the renter and he said he’ll refund me a full amount due to my inconvenience and I called roadside assistance to help me get a replacement and I had to wait 2 hours for that trip to start.

    So I canceled the trip and I left the car and went back to do what I was doing but I forgot something in the car so I went back and I was like, "Hmm lemme try again." So I did and it started but I already canceled the trip so I called the guy whose rental it was and I told him it started and he canceled the tow truck but since they were called they took my whole refund which was 350$ just for them to not even do anything and I had to bring the car back to Greensboro. The replacement by the way was in Charlotte where I was so it was very inconvenient for me to bring the replacement back and have to book a train ticket so I could make it to work the next day.

The car has cigarette burns on the inside also and damage to the front end. He tried to write a horrible review on my account when he’s the horrible person. I will never do this again!

    Great rental with Turo. Picked up/drop off at the airport in the parking garage, which worked really well for us. Also appreciated the affordable option of renting a toddler car seat to avoid having to carry the heavy seat with our other bags. Would use Turo again in the future.

    First and last time Turo user here. I had a 3 week rental. Everything was good. I returned vehicle. Then I get a charge of $150 for smoking. I am a non smoker. I’ve never smoked anything. Even if I was I certainly would not do in a vehicle I didn’t own. I’ve disputed, but it was days ago and I don’t even know how you would prove I didn’t. Lung x-ray? This is ridiculous and should be illegal. They are just stealing money. I’m filing fraudulent charge with my credit card company.

    Great rental experience-Turo is of less value-issues with app preventing pick up or check out each time. Multiple added expense after rental agreement started. There is not a value compared to traditional rental options. Seems all disruptive options-ABnB, Uber, Lyft, prime..all start out with price and value quickly using algorithms to increase cost beyond traditional options

    Turo is a great way to find a car rental for your needs without using a rental agency. For my needs, an older beat up vehicle is better than a pristine newer one and those are hard to find. Had an issue with my first rental but it was more related to the car owner than Turo so no faults to them. All in all quite satisfied with how it works and what you get.

    Overall decent experience. Only downside was the car was a bit older than I expected for the cost. I was also overcharged to refill a smidge of gas. It was at the line just under full by the time I put to the drop off spot. I was charged for over a half tank of gas for that. Really sucked and dampered my first and possibly only experience with Turo.

    I recently booked a vehicle through Turo. Unfortunately, the reverse camera was inverted, which I didn’t realize initially. Trusting the camera's functionality while parking, the reversed display led to a dent, costing me for the repair. While I’m not placing full blame on the camera, I expected a Turo vehicle to be fully functional with modern features that I could trust. When renting, we rely on these systems to be in proper working order for a safe and hassle-free experience.

    Overall good - One incident when the Turo sided with the owner versus the client. The incident was reported to the owner. I replaced the tire with a used tire since it was a used tire on it previously. The owner wanted a new tire. The owner did tell the client to purchase a new tire when the owner was contacted. The client paid for a used tire and continued the use of the vehicle. The client had to purchase a new tire when the vehicle was returned.
