    Den was the best host ever. So nice, so helpful. I was worried about using Turo. Not anymore. If there were a sixth star I would give one. He was on Time. Better yet we landed early and he picked me up early. No problems dropping me off at the airport. Truly amazing.

    I was charged a smoking fee in the vehicle I rented. That was totally untrue. I am asthmatic and I don't even smoke. The pictures shown were not even in the first set of pictures the owner took and I don't even know what part of the vehicle that is because it's a close up. I sent an email to dispute the charges and you guys never answered me but tried to charge my card before even reaching out. I would be willing to use the service again. Maybe it's a bad provider but I'm not happy with you guys' response on my dispute.

    Hi All, I am a host with Turo. On the face of it Turo's platform seems rosy and simple but wait till you have issues! They are very sly when it comes to customer support. At first you won't be able to find the contact information to their so called "24 Hours" support. Once you do find a number to call upon they direct to you text messaging with a rep. They then direct to you some other department your issues. It is quite the journey to get to someone that you might think will help resolve your issue, but they really don't. Turo system is rigged to only favor them, whilst you are risking your very expensive vehicle.

    For Guest: When you see the breakdown of charges on your final receipt you will see actual charge of the rental followed by charges for Fluff, fluff, fluff, and more fluff. It's shocking to see they charge so much for running the platform smoothly and claim to provide customer support. I had an issue with cancellation of a trip, I have strictly mentioned I need 2 days prior to booking my vehicle. A guest requested to pre-pone the trip to which of course I did not want to accept. Anyways, here is where their trickery kicks-in, the notification on your phone doesn't show the details of the change request - just that the guest has requested a change. Do you accept or reject. The dates of the rental are stricken off, and the two buttons to accept or reject are adjacent making very easy to go either ways.

    I accidentally accepted the changes and that's when I found out the the actual change that was requested by the guest, obviously I couldn't accept the change so I was left no choice but to cancel. For Turo this become much more interesting as they charge $50 fee for adjustments as I "cancelled" the trip at the last moment and posts a automated review on profile. Mind you, I had no intention to accept the changes to begin with had I properly known what is it that the guest was requesting. I called the customer support and explained what happened after spending a long time in getting connected with the "right" person.

    The customer service rep. wasn't helpful and kept shoving scripted responses to my issues with no definitive answer or resolution. She goes to say they will investigate the issue and will determine what happens next, I asked, "Will you inform me?" She had to no straight answer. It is like they decide and finalize what happens to your profile and you have no say in it.

    Turo expects Guests and Hosts to follow their protocols to the letter to which I have no problem. But they never spend time educating the platform users to what extent do they support user of the platform and how to contact them. They've made it very difficult to find the customer support and when you do they are certainly unable and unequipped to resolve the customer issues. I would recommend the traditional way to renting cars or try some other platform.

    Regards,

    K.D.

    I actually loved the Jeep but on returning the vehicle I called the host to get instructions on where to park the car. He instructed me to leave the keys in the glove compartment as I did and said he’ll be there in 30 minutes. After 4 hours he called saying the keys were not in the glove compartment and stated he didn’t lock the doors. Long story short I had to pay $250 for a key I’m positive I left. I think Rob is a fraud who preys on hardworking individuals. I’ve rented before and this has never happened. As a result I’m never renting from Turo again. I don’t trust the host anymore.

I highly recommend Turo fast and easy airport pickup and drop off without lines or checkin. Most host are experienced and make it very easy.

    I will try to be brief in my report. Unfortunately my last experience with this company has been a disaster. I was told, based on very weak evidences that I damaged the host's car. Such weak and small evidence that it was necessary to highlight and zoom the damage in the pic, among all the other similar damages the car already had, to see it. Why weak? Also because the host's picture before I take the car just don't show anything, and was not into Turo's pattern. After that, Constance, the person in charge of this case sent us an estimate that was unacceptable. She says it is a partner of their, which makes it suspicious for me, who would actually PAY for the repair. Also, the amount they were charging was really abusive, and the service described seemed to be more than just fixing "my damage" (as they did not care about giving us any explanation about that estimate, that is how it looks like).

    Of course we talked to other experts we TRUST, not our PARTNERS! The estimate we got was half of the price. We requested to present our expert's estimate, and that this lady send us the PICS she used to get hers. She only said she would give us 5 days to present a new estimate but may not accept a lower one (WHAT!?!?). Did not said anything about HOW they got theirs. So I have to pay for a service and do not have a real right of word!?!? And it is not all: She did not wait as she said she would, she charged us right away. I think Turo do not see renters as clients, only hosts. What are hosts without renters, though!?!? That is why I will be more than happy to share this experience and all my evidences with whoever I can, and whoever is considering to rent a car through Turo. What a shame for the company.

    I put my Mercedes, Kia Telluride and Tesla on Turo to tried it out. And absolutely disappointed. Last week some guy rent my tesla for 2 days for basically nothing as turo fee is almost 40% then that guy abandon my car. Exactly. He left my car without telling me where the car was. I called him many times and call turo which absolutely no help. Luckily this is tesla. I can located my car. Imagine if it any other car???? I would be absolutely LOST. And turo policy for abandon car is to give host $50 fee. Yes $50. Would that satisfied to anyone? It doesn’t cover the cost of your time.

    Then 2 days after that I have another rental who book in advance so I didn’t cancel. He smoke in my car even though I stated policy for none smoking. My 50k car cover in cigarette and marijuana smell. Reached out to turo, waiting hours of my time and they told me they will get back to me which they never do. Had to call again today, but no help either. If this how you want to risk your car, it your choice. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

    My experience was the worst ever. I usually rent cars but this time with Turo was terrible. The owner of the vehicle rented out a Corvette and the passenger side door would not open all the way which is a safety hazard not to mention the AC was not working. After we pulled off from the pick up location the AC went out and when I advise the owner of the vehicle about it he advised me that he would check it once my trip is over and I live in South Florida Miami and the temperature that day was 97°. I could have quite a heat stroke.

    Seems like Turo vehicles are not safe and checked properly by these personal owners not to mention the owner of the vehicle tried to say I caused other problems in the vehicle but from the beginning the car is a lemon. Absolutely worst experience ever and paid an extra 179 then the owner tried to say he will take the vehicle to the dealership and send the bill to me SMH! Not to mention he is very dishonest. He took my phone. The owner of the vehicle took my phone and act like he was discharging the trip and text himself that the AC was working which was a lie. He’s a fraud and dishonest.

    I heard great things about Turo from my brother. I was traveling to Maine from Boston airport so figured I’d give it a try. I booked my first car and was excited - however not too long after the driver denied me because he stated the car was listed at too low or a price and that Turo messed up at pricing it. Then I book a different car and a day before my trip I am told it will be a different car and to book that one. I get to the location, pick up the car, and start the 200 mile road trip.

    100 miles in the “oil level low” light comes on so I immediately tell the owner. He asks me to buy oil, put oil in. I do so and continue driving. I finally reached Maine, and tried not to drive the car much because he said the levels were full when he dropped the car off. The day comes I have to make my flight back to Boston so I leave adequate time to get there. The car leaked so much oil I had to stop every 30 miles to put a quart of oil in otherwise I feared I would never make it. 4.5 quarts & 4 stressful hours later I made it back. Still waiting to hear back from the owner as to a discount being applied. Overall a bad experience which is a bummer because I was excited about the app.

    I rented a vehicle using the TURO application recently, this was my first rental experience with TURO. I will say that everything was clear and well thought out on the application. The particular owner that I worked with was extremely professional. I will rent with Frank’s Nissan again in the future. My one challenge for TURO is to offer your excellent business concept in NYC. I live in Manhattan and I had to get myself to the owner in New Jersey, which added cost, inconvenience and lost time to my rental experience.

When I canceled the trip, I was still charge half the full payment amount and I only drove the car from airport to Airbnb. Host was upset I canceled and all of a sudden, a claim was filed claiming I damaged a rim on the car. Host then goes and rents vehicle to someone else and they experience the same problem.

I called a tow truck and took the car to auto repair. Turo received all the proofs that the damage it's the guest fault. They sent an insurance adjuster that agreed the car was in perfect condition before the guest rent it and they also made me run data frame test that proves that the damage it's the guest fault.

    Overall, I was very happy with the car itself (Fiat 500). It was comfortable, easy to drive and handled well. In addition, it was fairly spacious given it's a small, 2-seater. My primary issue, however, was with having to use the Turo app to lock/unlock the car. This feature works great, provided you're in an area with strong cell phone signal. I was vacationing in Dunsmuir and Mt Shasta, CA, both fairly rural places. The signal was at times very weak to non-existent and this became hugely problematic. The car's engine is set up to lock/unlock with the app. However, when I couldn't unlock the car with the app, it would not start even though I had the physical key. This was further disappointing and frustrating as I had to skip visiting certain destinations, as there was no signal and I did not want to get stranded.

    Turo customer service was unable to help me at all with this issue and referred me to the car's owner. Thankfully, I was able to reach the owner and trouble-shoot with him. I would not recommend this feature for renters who are planning to travel to areas with limited, unreliable cell phone signal. Otherwise, the car and app worked smoothly.

    I came across Turo because a friend had suggested I check it out. Taking the advice I had booked a car last week to use the week after during the weekend. I found everything to be self-explanatory and easy and as I got down to the booking process it was very simple. After about two days the host then canceled my trip. After talking to this host and discussing why the trip was canceled I was able to rebook with my refund. With this refund I decided to book another car with a different host.

    The booking process was swift leave until two days later this host had canceled again but this time nine hours before the trip was supposed to start. I contacted the host asked why it was being canceled and she said because she had plans. I strongly dislike how Turo enables host to cancel trips less than 24 hours ahead of time. It is very inconvenient and has officially put me into a stressful situation. After the second host has canceled, I immediately went to rebook another car. After re-booking with a 3rd host it was approved. I then messaged the host saying sorry for booking so last minute because my last host had canceled.

    Shortly after the messages sent, my trip was then canceled yet again. It is so frustrating to know that Turo allows people to go ahead and book a Trip then allow the host to cancel short noticed when the person renting may need the car. When the hosts are allowing their cars to be posted on Turo to be rented I feel that they should at least be able to plan ahead of time and plan out when their car is actually available to rent out. Now I am unable to rebook with my refund because Turo has initiated a full refund when I did not want that. I would've liked to rent out a car with the refund from the last cancellation but now Turo has decided otherwise. I am very upset with all of this that is happening when I am very in need of a car therefore I will no longer be booking with Turo. I hope that you all do not go through the same problems that I went through and I hope you guys have a reliable host.

    I highly do not recommend using Turo, it almost costed me my life and my nephews lives. Car started shaking on the highway then stopped on me. Turo representative response was simply giving me 50$ in credit on the app. The agreement was for the person renting me the car to meet me at LAX, but when I landed he told me to get a 35$ Uber to his location, his location was next to where you was staying so at that point it didn’t even make sense to get the car. He also agreed for me to leave the car by LAX and last minute he changed that as well to leaving the car at his house and taking another 35$ Uber to LAX. This app is a scheme.

    I told Turo representatives that I have a receipt that I filled up the gas tank the night before my flight, and driver tried to scam me for another 60$ saying gas tank wasn’t full... DO NOT USE THIS APP, stick to professional rental cars which I can speak to a actual person infront of you.

    I've rented a few cars on Turo over the past few years. My experience with the Hosts has been very good, and I've been lucky enough not to have problems or damages. However, the true test of a company's relationship with a customer is how they handle a situation when everything DOESN'T go according to plan, and in this regard Turo made me feel like I was totally on my own.

    1. Confusing and contradictory claims/damages information on their site.
    2. Totally outsourced claims handling and I suspect even customer service.

    3. Zero accountability or escalation process in case one (or both) of the two agents above didn't really help you (or ignored you, which is what the claims agent has done to me, despite my valid questions regarding their own stated terms).

    To elaborate further, the vehicle was damaged while in my car, though I was not driving. The situation required some critical thinking, and though I was fully communicating, Turo was operating in an automated and brainless fashion, and gave me NO AVENUE through which to get a decision maker to assess the situation. I was being railroaded down an illogical path with ZERO communication about the extra details I'm about to present.

    Here's where it gets confusing: It was a small dent/scratch, but deep enough to require paint. I immediately informed the host and sent photos so he was aware. I had the Turo standard protection, at $500 deductible (which cost me $13 a day!!). I also have personal auto insurance with a very low comprehensive deductible. Through communication with the host, I also discovered he was paying for Premium level host protection from Turo, which clearly states that scratches/dents/dings under 3 inches are covered fully by Turo.

    Chapter II: The host files a claim, and Turo processes it fairly rapidly. I learn that I am being billed $150 for their time/trouble to review and file the claim, which at least counts against my deductible, and also another $180 for the damage. Not too bad, but my personal insurance deductible is still much lower. I concurrently contact my insurance company and file a comprehensive claim, since the damage occurred due to wind and while the car was parked. I send emails to the Turo (Liberty Mutual) agent and to my own insurance agent giving the claim numbers and information. My insurance company is responsive, but not sure how to deal with this type of arrangement and investigating further. Turo's insurance agent, however, is completely ignoring my voicemail and multiple emails inquiring the following: Is this not already covered by the Host's Premium Protection Policy? Can I use my own insurance instead?

    I simply get no reply and an invoice, no explanation or direct response offered. It seems to me that the business leads and programmers at Turo have developed a wonderful business model where they wash their hands of the burden/accountability / and liabilities involved in facilitating this business. They simply farm it out to someone else, take their profit, and walk away (straight to the gym/golf course/** lounge wherever SF dev bros go). While this is wonderful for them as it probably allows them the freedom and luxury to live well and have very flexible lives, the end result is a company that feels like it's run by automated processes, and intentionally makes it very very difficult to get the attention of anyone with any authority to clear up a mistake in that automation or hold their outsourced agents accountable.

    The result is a situation that makes you feel like you exist to serve Turo's comforts, and feels like a one-sided arrangement when there is a legitimate dispute. Clearly, the teachings of Timothy Ferriss are gospel at Turo HQ. I give this company two thumbs down. I'm going back to traditional rentals and will never expose myself to this liability again unless I hear they've made a significant change.

    Hello all, just writing a review to prevent you from experiencing the same problems. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. Here is my story, on June 12th 2020, I booked a trip for 9:30am June 15th 2020, 3 days in advance so that the host would have plenty of time to prepare. When I tried to pick up the car, and the host let me know I will be meeting his assistant at a parking lot to pick up the car. I said ok. When I got to the parking lot, the car was still not there. The assistant said it will be a few more minutes. After waiting 20 minutes in 80 degree weather in a sketchy parking lot, I asked the assistant again where is the car. He said the car is still being washed. To me I am frustrated at this point as I booked this car for 9:30 am so I could make it to work by 12pm. Now it’s already past 11 am and the car isn’t here. I will definitely be late to work.

    Finally when the car did come, it was extremely extremely dirty. The host told me the reason it was so late was because they were getting the car washed. That makes no sense because the car was extremely dirty, I am talking there was bird poop all over the windows and dirt that looks like it’s been baked on there for a while.... The car was so dirty I couldn't believe it. The inside of the car had pet hair everywhere all over the seats and everything is so dusty and disgusting. Let me add I AM ALLERGIC TO DOGS. If I wasn’t going to be late to work I wouldn’t even have gotten in the car! It was extremely unacceptable.

    I contacted the Turo support right away (by the way, there is no actual phone number to speak to a person...it is an automated number that doesnt actual dial anywhere, so I had to go online and "chat" with a support team...). After going back and forth, submitting photos, the whole 9 yards, the support girl Daniela asked if I wanted a travel credit. I reiterated I would NEVER be using Turo again and that I expect a partial refund. I did not even ask for a full refund because I still had to use the car and did not have time to miss out on work.

    In this coronavirus so many people have experienced layoffs, shift cuts, many people including myself are suffering and NEED the money. The support team said I will be receiving a partial refund and I will get an email in a few days. I never received any email or refund. I reached back out via chat to the support and now they are saying they offered me a reimbursement for a car wash and a travel credit and that I was never promised a refund.??? What kind of service is this? Were they expecting ME to go get the car washed? Why would they offer a travel credit when they can just reimburse my card the same amount?

    I asked the support team about this and they said Turo doesn't handle refunds, it is up to the host. How does that make any sense? It's YOUR company? YOU don't handle the refunds? So you can just let hosts act how they want any take NO responsibility?? If you book with Turo and have a problem, this is how you will be treated. And I am not the only one, check out all the other horror stories on the Yelp page. ** Really disturbing stuff. By the way, the host I booked with is Andrey ** in 90015 zip code.

    I have been extending this car since April 29,20 - A new state sales tax daily percent fee has been added to the guest total due. This applies to 18 states - I'm in Ga - This took effect on June 1, 20. I extend like every 3 days but on my receipt the total is from April 29, 20 and Turo based how much I paid from April 29, 20 and taxed me from that amount. Instead the percent should have been from how much I paid from June 1, 20. Turo disconnected the phone abruptly without notice and did not explain the percent charged my jurisdiction.

    I got scammed by your host. But I understand that I wasn’t focused and I allowed someone to play me. However, I want you guys to know that this guy is truly untrustworthy and I dont want someone else getting hurt.

    1. I received the vehicle very dirty. Including ** all over it. He stated that he was getting the car wash and that is why he was late to arrive but he only ran it through one of those drive thru washes. 2. The tags were expired. We are a young ** family. The police use things like that just to pull us over especially if they run the plates and see that we aren’t Asian.

    3. I expressed this to him. He offered to give me a Maserati instead. I told him that I was using it for my son’s drive by graduation and that vehicle would not work. I’ll just get this one washed. 4. He called me to tell me that I could return the car early and get a refund for the second day. He said have it back by 8:30pm and change it in the app. That is how I went so far over my mileage. I prepaid for 2 days which gave 200 miles but because of his instructions I went over. There is no way in the world that Lakewood to San Bernardino, is 297 miles but I cannot prove it because allowed him to play me and Turo

    5. Upon arrive he inspected the vehicle. He was satisfied because the car was returned in better condition than when it left. The car was detailed and had a full tank of gas. I said let’s check the mileage together he said no it’s ok. And began to show me and my boyfriend pictures of the grey Maserati that he offered us a free day to use because of the dirty car.

    6. He said give me your phone so that I can take pictures of the car for you. Turo wants certain angles. So I gave him my phone. It wasn’t until after I received the notification of over mileage that I realized he was trying not to highlight all of the actual damage to the car like the dent in front fender, the expired tags, and the damage to the front bumper on the bottom. And of course no pictures of the actual mileage. 

    I’m usually very detailed and more focused on situations like this but my mom was being rushed to hospital for a stroke and my son was graduation during a pandemic. So no I didn’t have a clear mind during this transaction. 

    This guy posted a review on me which is all lies but I’m a media figure I get that pretty often. He said that we tried to rob his friend’s house when we were waiting to pick up the vehicle. When I arrived at the address that he provided he was not there. He was running late driving through the car wash. There was no street parking and the gate to the driveway was open. We drove in and parked. We never got out of the vehicle. I was trying to surprise my son with car so I video taping his anxiety and expressions the entire time, even when I drove up driveway and caught the host getting out of his vehicle. Proof that my family and I were not on the property to harm anyone. But again this guys risked the lives of me and my family. Because the police would have seen that as trespassing and arrested us or worse. The host didn’t even live at this address and provided no instructions for my arrival. 

    I say all of this to say. That I accept the charge. I was going to dispute it with my credit card company but I have the money and I’d rather focus my energy on my family during this tough time and not argue over pennies. The host offered to sell us the car for $9000 and we were going to purchase it for my son, but we’ll keep our money because this guy is dishonest and should not have a place on the Turo platform.

    I started to be Host on Turo since December 22nd 2019 till April 2020. I have had two bad experience, even though I provided them with evidence such as photo or recorded voice, they did not protect my rights. In the first case, the customer broke the seat adjuster and said "I am sorry my wife broke it." I said, "No worries, you can order the part, I will take care of it." Anyway, the customer blocked me, but I still keep our phone conversation. Anyway, Turo ignored me.

    Second problem The customer did not show up and complained that they have been in my address but never saw the car, that is a good lie. In fact, I provided them evidence, and even I asked them, if the customer has been in my address, why he never called me, or why he did not send you any photo. Anyway, it can be a small problem, but GUYS - Turo does not have time to investigate the problem and care about you! You will earn $20 per day, but it does not worth for it. You will worry about your hard earned car, $20 per day does not worth it.

    I started to unlist my two cars, btw, I am All star Host and I have 5 star reviews. I never got even 4 star reviews. I was really responsible with this job, but Turo never cared about me. Additionally, the story of my close friend, the customer hit the car and Turo said "your car is already over 130k, therefore we do not care about your car." Another friend. The customer drove his car recklessly, my friend provided Turo with GPS report where it shows that the customer drove the car 90 miles, 110 miles. Anyway, the car got engine problem. Turo said "Hey your car has a recall, therefore we don't care about your car."

    Overall, when you have a problem, Turo will find a good reason to tell you instead of helping you to solve car issues. Turo does not have time to investigate any problem properly. Therefore, do not list your car on Turo. You can do Uber or Lyft and earn $20 in an hour. But never let to anyone to rent your car. If someone from Turo reads my reviews, I am ready to provide you with information whatever I mentioned there. Even I can tell you the information of my friends.

This has not yet happened to me, but it remains a concern each time since we generally rent for a specific purpose (like an out of town trip) that can't be rescheduled. Having a last minute cancellation would effectively ruin whatever experience we got the car for. I also recently tried for the first time to refer a friend and discovered that there is no longer any kind of discount or referral program.

    TURO ONLINE CAR RENTAL ACTUALLY. It is been the most frustrating experience ever. To keep it short, they'll make it easy for you to jump on that car and drive away, and if you are lucky this time around you might not have problems. But if something happens be aware, this is not an Airbnb for cars. Cars are NOT airbnb, they are a huge responsibility cause they are on the street where things happen all the time - unlike the chances of you burning down a rented airbnb house. My trip cost me $3000 for two days - read that right - the car is under the owners name, not a car rental company so any trouble you might run into, you will NEVER be able to take care of it without the car owner there, meaning you'll be stuck helpless in a bad situation paying fees and just seeing those bills pilling up against you.

    I rented a Range Rover from Andrea through Turo a month in advance for our family trip. I had called Andrea (vehicle owner) over 2 hours prior to our arranged time to give him plenty of notice we were at the agreed location and he was still an 1.5 hours late. So we left with the vehicle and within 30 minutes of driving the vehicle, we noticed the air suspension had dropped and was scraping on the tires so badly, we had to stop on the side of a busy highway and started trying to communicate with the host. It took him 30-45 minutes to respond, so we would have to sit and wait. While waiting on the side of the road, we notice the headliner was also hanging down from the roof. Not the quality of the vehicle we thought we were paying for. When we finally spoke with Andrea, all he could say was it was in perfect shape when he delivered it to us. (Probably the reason he was 1.5 hours late.)

    We were told to continue driving it as we had 160 miles to our destination and 5 days of vacation of driving it. This vehicle continued to do the same thing another 16 times leaving us stuck each time on the side of the highway. We continually tried to contact him through his cell number for which he told me to communicate with him through the Turo site which only took longer for his response making me more irritated. THE VEHICLE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM WAS BROKEN AND WAS RIDING ON TOP OF THE TIRES FOR NEARLY 160 MILES!!..

    The next morning I told them I was done with the vehicle being broken and would be taking my vacation time to rent from a local car dealership and for him to arrange to have his vehicle towed from where it was parked. I was told by Turo on the phone that they would reimburse me $150 towards my rental car for my inconvenience and rebate me any money towards my rental of the Range Rover. So after wasting 3 hours driving the next day driving around trying to find a replacement vehicle, I was told the tow truck driver was available to pick up the broken down vehicle and so I ended up paying another $500+ for another rental vehicle on top of the almost $800 I had spent on renting this vehicle.

    After conveying this information to the Turo representative I was told they would reimburse me my full rental cost and was told they would also add $150 towards whatever I had to rent for the rest of our stay there. I assumed this meant that I was going to be reimbursed the full rental of the Range Rover plus $150 towards the new rental since the vehicle did not even last 24 hours. WRONG.

    After coming in contact with Turo's office personnel, I was passed around multiple times and for the next 60 plus days afterwards, to only receive the remaining days rental cost of the vehicle ($150 lesser) and no $150 promised for the rental of another vehicle. Also, Turo representatives would only reply to my emails once per week for the next 2 plus months. So here I was with over $1300 dollars worth of rental costs and not ever sure how much I was going to be reimbursed for.

    I was emailed one day that I was going to be reimbursed the full amount, then the next email would say they reconsidered and only partial reimbursement. I had to settle for only partial reimbursement or nothing at all. Turo has shown me zero compassion towards this situation and has taken my money and left a previously happy customer, TOTALLY DISGRUNTLED. I will never do business with them again nor refer them to anyone. Their office personnel have no training on how to make a customer happy and would rather lose a repeat customer than spend a few dollars trying to right a wrong situation. RENTER BEWARE AND DO NOT RENT FROM TURO...

    I rented a car for my first time ever using this "Turo-App"! It was horrible, I rented vehicle from a host not less than 16 minutes of driving down the street. I didn't notice prior, because car was listed under great conditions. So, as I'm driving I noticed very oddly it was feeling unsteady, and lower to ground. I rented a 2016 Hyundai Sonata. It's made lower, to ground. So, ignoring the apprehension I proceeded to drive up the street. A few miles away a car flag's me down. Indicating a flat-tire. I was shocked, pulling into gas station. I instantly check and it's way low, like very flat! I call customer service roadside assistance. They send someone out. I had to wait an hour and a half for help with tire change.

    Before, the tire was changed I spoke to Rep, who said they can't issue reimbursement. I would have to handle it with a live - chat platform! On the web - via online. This was insane to hear, that they didn't have phone support for this issue. Technician change's tire, and the (Doughnut -tire) was too small to continue trip. The phone roadside assistant asked me to drive car back to owner. And, then I will be able to "Try " and get replacement. And reimbursement, I did.. The owner tried to act like he didn't know. When it was obvious he knew very well. I had very important meeting and errands to run today. Yet, everything been cancelled.

    I went on Web - live chat where Rep's couldn't help. Their customer service was none at all, instead of being charged for first trip.. When I tried to rebook second car the guy indicated he didn't even have the Car! So, I was charged a new fee again. The representative then proceeded to tell me use another third party to rent vehicle. She tried to give me Turo credit for rentals. But, I asked for full reimbursement. This whole drama took me from 8 a.m. at time of rental to 12:30 pm To, get refunds from not just one rental! But, two! With another issue of car being non-existent! This is so crazy! I'm not sure what's the deal with this company?! Definitely scammers be aware! Very unsatisfied, and that's only some of problems I encountered and I have full proof of everything!

    The claims department ended up coming through and I'm 100% satisfied with the insurance in the end.

    Original Review: May 4, 2020

    I recently had a rental. The guest had a flat tire and left it in a garage for me to deal with. Turo is paying less than half of the repair costs and says the labor for the repair is $10 and wants me to use a rim that doesn't match the other rims. Also, with the platinum level of insurance they gave me a $25 credit to compensate for the car not being rentable but I would have made $50... So the compensation on unrentable days isn't quite right either. This rental I was going to make $50 on is now going to cost me $600. Don't rent your car on Turo if you are counting on their insurance to repair the car.

    I had a great experience for the most part but had one issue. Setting up the rental and everything went smoothly. Picking up the car and dropping it off went just fine with no issues. Everything was great until I got hit with a bogus cleaning fee by the owner a day after I dropped the car off. It had been raining the whole time I had it and I guess he expected me to still have the car washed (which I had to do the second I picked the car up because there were bird droppings all over the hood and roof of the car). There was no more than the normal road dirt on the car from a couple days worth of driving in the rain. As far as the interior goes the car was no dirtier than when I picked it up other than a few small rocks on the floor mat from normal use. I was very displeased when I got the notification saying I was being charged an extra $40 for no real reason. I was planning on renting that car again for a week in a few months but definitely will not be doing so anymore.

    I actually was really excited to be renting through them... up until 4/21/20. I rented a car through a host named Eric **, a week in advance. I would be dropping off mask and other supplies to my family who is miles away from me, in order to keep them safe. When I arrive to my 9am pick up time I arrive to the car I would be renting pulling up right after me, with the previous renter driving it. Oscar, one of Eric’s employees?, was cleaning a different car for a different guest. After waiting 15 mins for him to clean the other car he quickly goes over to the last renter, grabs the car & comes over to me. He explains that the lady returning it was late, and due to that I was getting a dirty car.

    At this point I was frustrated. I’m already 15 mins late, which will become a big snowball effect for my day, nothing was ready or prepared and with everything going on with covid 19 I couldn’t believe these people would do this to me. When explaining that I was disappointed with a dirty car Oscar said, "Well I can clean it for you but it’ll take another 10-15 mins." So I rent a car from 9-9 a week in advance where you have plenty of time to prepare, and even enough time to prepare an alternative car, I will now be going into my Paid rental by 30 mins because the Host and his staff were not properly prepared? At this time I had to leave, I was late. I wiped down everything I would touch as a driver & got on my way.

    I attempted to call Turo 4 times, when I was prompted to input my phone number to receive a chat invite via text in relation to the issue, the line would go dead.

    Well, I’m driving, I can’t go online and search how to get a hold of people or an alternative way... I’ll have to do this at a different time. When returning the car, the host nor his employees were there. I waited again 10 mins and then contacted the host. He said he would be there shortly. I am sorry, I have things to do. If I wanted the car from 9:30-9:30 I would have booked accordingly. I had an uber outside was it if which got canceled because I was delayed, which mind you, I still had to pay for.

    When expressing my issues with the host via messages he became instantly defensive. I questioned why they didn’t have an alternative car line up for me when they realized the car I would be renting wasn’t there. He then called me high maintenance & said I was rude and that instead of being closed-minded I should have taken an alternative car that I was told to... Uhm, like I just stated to him & wrote in this review I was never offered an alternative car.

    I reached out to support again, via chat to only get closed out after a 2-minute delay. You should have seen the dirt on my wipes from wiping things down clean. The remote for the car was disgusting enough not to mention the spilled soda and ash everywhere. This company isn’t that good. They don’t offer any customer service. I have a crappy review from the host on my account, boofreakingwho, but yet I can’t leave him a review? The concept is cool, but customer service is an issue. Big time.

    The worst experience as a host. Turo refuses to fix damage caused by guest despite the claim that the trip is fully insured when they take 35% cut from booking fees. Hosts beware, Turo will not pay for damages and will not let you use the insurance. Their claims department will waste your time by leading you on that everything will be ok, then use every excuse in the world not to pay for the damage.

    I took clear photos within 24 hours of the trip as required by Turo policy. In addition, I used the checklist provided by Turo that recorded that there was no damage. When I got the car back, I noticed the damage and reported it right away, took photos and submitted everything. Claims department asked me to take more photos of the damage, which I did. Then they instructed me to take the car to a body shop. Then they came up with a fix amount that is not enough to cover 10% of the damage.

    It turns out that they cannot tell if the damage was on the car, because they cannot see it on pre-trip photos. They claim lighting to be the reason, but they choose to assume that there was damage before. They ignore their own checklist signed by me and guest before the trip, that shows there was no damageClaims processing is dragging the process, where my car is out of service and in the shop for over 2 month. The lost income insurance is a joke. They calculated my reimbursement to be a pathetic $1.08/day. Employees and manager ignore multiple complaints and requests to escalate. They follow deceptive practices to avoid full remediation of damage that was caused during an insured trip. Turo ignores proof that there was no damage to avoid paying for damage.

    We used Turo on a recent visit to Waikiki and will NEVER do it again. The host was dishonest, tricked us into changing the reservation regarding drop off all so he could charge us a US$50 pick up fee. When we challenged him, he phoned us and made physical threats (he's a big guy). The car was dirty on delivery and he tried to trick us into cleaning to pre-rental standard before dropping it back. No issue with leaving the car clean, but what rental company in the world insists that you take it through a car wash before delivering it back.

    The two days we had it it poured rain so there was road grime on it (obviously) for which he has tried to bill us $20 extra. There was not another hair out of place. We have raised a challenge with Turo but they are saying, "Too bad." I have discovered multiple Facebook groups for Turo Owners Called "Tips and Tricks to make extra money", check it out.

    I would give Turo 0 stars if I could. I've rented with Turo since March 2019. I had issues previously with hosts canceling at the last minute or listing the car as available when it's not. Most recently, Turo is being charging me $829 for a scuff mark above the rear right tire of a car I rented recently. I told the owner that I did not know where the mark came from and I did not cause it because I didn't. The mark could have easily been wiped out, and with any other rental company it would have been considered normal wear and tear. The owner reported it, and Turo didn't even attempt to investigate or contact me! Then they blocked me out the system so now I can't even get around like I need to for the week. Spare yourself the headache and rent with a bigger company. The rentals are not that cheap per day anyway. I was spending $50 a day for a long term rental.
