    Everything went smoothly. The host is great and his vehicle is such a great ride, I’m thinking about purchasing one for myself. If you need a good ride for your trip, this is the best option for it. It’s great on gas.

    I’ll never rent from Hertz, Avis, etc again. Those companies cannot guarantee a specific car. With Turo you KNOW exactly what vehicle you will get. The app makes it easy to select a car, a location, and allows for pictures to be taken to verify that you have not damaged the car. With a conventional car rental company, they can claim you damaged their car even if you didn’t.

    When we picked up the car, we waited at the door for some time before the host answered. She said she was putting her dog away. We scheduled for 10:00 and I felt she should have been prepared. As we accepted the keys, we noticed significant damage and took a number of pictures. Now the host is alleging there is a “dent” on the passenger door and Turo is taking $500 from my account. The host now wants to fix an alleged tiny dent that is barely visible when the car has underwent severe damage. I’m saying illegitimate payout and scam. DO NOT RENT FROM TURO. Just go the traditional method. I won’t be doing this again.

    I did request 3 quotes from 3 commercial and reputable body shops before any money or retrieved. Turo is also attempting to gather my insurance information and billing my card on file??!! Double dipping. I can’t even see the damage from the angle of the photo the host sent. At drop off, I again waited at the door for several minutes incurring Lyft fees. I think the host was again sleeping and unprepared for the 10:00am drop off. She then blew up my phone trying to “make an arrangement” without involving Turo. It was so harassing that I told her to follow Turo protocol. This has been a nightmare experience and I will let everyone I come into contact with to not use this method and go traditional. I’ve never had a problem With commercial rentals. This, a pure and total scam for everyone on the other side to make a quick easy dollar.

    I rented from Turo and had some minor damage to the taillight which should not have cost more than $500. The owner claimed that the car also needed body work (unfortunately no documentation of this as it was not something any reasonable person would think to document prior to renting). Turo estimated the work at $1998, miraculously just $2 less than my deductible. Turo customer service was incredibly unhelpful. Also credit card insurance does NOT cover rentals under Turo. So I was out $2000 in addition to what I paid for the car with absolutely no recourse. You are MUCH better off renting from a traditional car rental company until Turo gets their act together.

    This was my first rental, so I was a little naïve to the process, and it took me a few people on short notice to line up the vehicle that was for me. Once I got approved to rent, it was a very smooth experience. I thought the pricing and the delivery fee was very reasonable. I did get the full insurance, and thought that was a little expensive,.

    I've rented vehicles from a Nissan Murano, to a Porsche 911 and the majority of the experiences have been perfect. The only problem is hosts cancelling the evening prior to pick-up (11pm) without warning. I see a lot of that in the reviews as well, you don't get that with regular rental companies. I did not get offered any assistance or discount to get a new vehicle booked. Thankfully I was able to find someone on the app that could accommodate me on super short notice and stay in my price range. It was not however the class of car that I was initially renting, so I did not get my "bang for my buck" as I had planned and rented way ahead of time. Besides curveballs like that, the app is a great way to drive some of your dream cars without the sticker shock of purchase.

    The first time I needed a car, the brakes ended up just going out on me. The host took a day and a half (I could not work due to this), to get me another car. I was questioned to death about why I had a sense of urgency and needed another one ASAP. Ummm, that's one of the biggest safety needs with a vehicle and I can't make money otherwise?

    The second time I needed a vehicle; the host waited until he confirmed the reservation, then messaged me 1 minute after the charge was completed changing the pickup location to the airport. It would've cost me so much more to do that with an Uber and airport fees. I was able to cancel after a very annoying call to customer service explaining why that was a problem especially on New Year's when it would be the busiest. I rented from a different host who's now ignoring my early cancellation request.

    I told her my car got out of the shop much earlier than I was told, but she's just not communicating anymore. I will be out another $336 if she doesn't agree for something that isn't my fault. Turo won't help because she has to agree in the app. Basically, it's not worth the aggravation just to save a few bucks and trying to find the phone number to contact Turo in the app is ridiculous.

    We recently used Turo in New York. We inspected the car prior to starting our trip and there were no cigarette butt in the car however when we returned the car the host reported to Turo with the picture of cigarette butt near the driver seat handle. This was not noted anytime during our trip, and we do not smoke so it is not possible for us to keep it there. When this was brought up to Turo’s customer service they did not listen to customer side rather they charged $ 300 and blocked us from the account as well. They only listened to the host and there are no proof that this was not planned by him. We are highly dissatisfied and unsatisfied with poor customer service by the big company. For them $300 matters more than customer and their satisfaction. They are not even willing to call or listen to our side. Strongly do not recommend the service.

He just wanted us to be safe (iDrive Enterprise-Denver). I do recommend the owner. I received a text from Turo stating they would not accept the owner's request to waive a late fee. They charged me $119 for it being returned 3 hours late. The daily rate was $70 so charging me a rate $50 more than my daily rate is poor business practices.

    Updated on 12/30/2022: The fire dept arrived and police came. I was cold and the host talked to the police and fire department to arrange for a hotel for me to get warm and spend the night. The next day there were arrangements to replace the vehicle cutting my day to return home to Jan 2 instead of Jan 4, but Turo told me to return the car to the same place in North Carolina where I picked the car. That will leave me stranded in NC because I can’t rent a car.

    I am calling customer services to see if they can help me get a car that I can pick in NC and return in VA or to get help with a rental car or to pay for an Uber or Lyft. The customer representative said he will call me back. I called Turo today at 9:43 am, now is 11:22 am. I think that we can resolve this issue if they help me get home when I return the car or if they allow me to return the car in VA and they take care of the return to NC. I hope they are not trying to make things difficult because I will not give up and I think that at this point we can still resolve this so I can return home safely.

I have several medical conditions, asthma, diabetes that require an injection, I got those medicines out of the vehicle because the fire dept helped to get them out of the car because the electrical system of the car blocked the doors and they couldn’t open. Half of my belongings including a walker were left in the rented car because the police car didn’t have enough space to put all my belongings. I rented a mini van with Turo.

    The host is trying to get the car fixed today but how long it will take and the vacation time is damaged. How is Turo going to help? I am asking to see if they can provide another car today, reliable so I can pick the rest of my belongings and visit my family. Is that much to ask from Turo after the customer representative told me to walk in the middle of the night, in cold weather to find a place to charge my phone in an unknown area to me and don’t know if I can find a place in miles? That was insane. She told me to call 911 after I told her of my medical situation.

    Even with no medical issues I think it was insane from the representative to even suggest for me to walk to find a place if I ever find one, alone, in the cold dark, to charge my phone so road assistance can get in contact with me and she didn’t even know when the service can be provided. Totally insane! I could get killed! She could put in danger the life of people. Didn’t sleep well, worrying about this.

    Original Review: Rented a car via Turo. I also paid for road service. Car just broke in highway, cold weather. I have several medical conditions. I contacted the host who is helping and tried to contact support and they never answered. More than 30 minutes waiting and temperature dropping. Host finally get in contact with customer service after a long waiting and did a three call. The representative told me that they will send Triple AAA but it could take more than 3 hours to arrive or maybe longer, and if the car was in a safe place I can walk to find a place to charge my cell phone.

    In the middle of the road, night, with cold weather and medical conditions and that was the answer of customer service. Is that crazy? Then she said to call 911 which I did. Fire Dept came, police helped and took me to a safe hotel nearby and the host is paying for hotel. I am stranded already in a hotel in another town and Turo? Not answering. I took the screenshots of the time waiting with the Turo number for “Road Assistance” and the answer I had was to walk, with medical, conditions, in an unknown area, during the night, I could get killed, they put my life in danger. what kind of training they receive, or they don’t care. Just happened now. Is there a zero star?

    I rented from Turo 3 times. Every single time they added extra charges but this last one, takes the cake. I rented it for 5 days. On the last day I was to return the vehicle, my father passed away unexpectedly. I wasn't prepared for that, so I needed 1 extra day. In addition to that, there was a snow storm that afternoon and highways weren't closed but easily could have been. I contacted the host, he was great and I said I would be back the following day by the time it was due. I returned it 23.5 hrs later. I didn't have any data left on my phone and I wasn't able to upload the pictures of when I dropped it off until nearly an hour later.

    The screenshot clearly shows the time and vehicle back where I picked it up 34 mins before it was back. But it didn't matter. TURO does not care about anything except charging whoever they can, for whatever they can. So, for the days after my father passed, TURO hounded me day and night. I received 7 email notices from 6 different people all telling me to pay an extra $190 for late fee and some bogus charge they call 'Improper Return Fee'. To top it off, about an hour ago, they tried charging my credit card which wasn't even on the app anymore.

    I used it once the 1st trip, and removed it after. So, even if you replace your payment method, they keep your info anyway and feel they can use it at their discretion. TURO is by far the most unethical, scam apps ever made. If you have any choice, either than renting or dealing with these people, don't. But ya, too many loopholes in this service. Allows Hosts to create problems after you return it, or even before you pick it up. Once you pay for it, anything can happen and more times than not, it does. Support doesn't know the meaning of the word. Poorest ran service/app/company I've ever dealt with.

    I reserved a Turo car late in the evening, after work, after my own car developed a problem. The host -- the renter -- was a nice enough guy, called me personally to confirm. Next day the shop called, said my own car was finished. I didn't have the Turo car, was not getting it until the next day. So I called the host (renter) and he was cool, said, "OK, it's canceled." He said I should get on the Web site and make the cancellation official. Which normally is good advice. But I can't get onto the Turo Web site. Their two-factor authentication does not work. The code never arrives, and I cannot get into my account. So I got onto customer service to chat, to either resolve the sign-on problem or cancel the reservation, whichever came first.

    They kept asking a question, then would duck out for 3-5 minutes, then would come back and ask another question, then duck out again. Eventually, they wanted a fresh picture of my driver's license up close, plus another picture of me holding my license next to my face. SMH... So I took a picture of both, using my laptop. Sent the photos. Turo said they were not clear enough, could I retake them better? The photos were taken with a laptop camera, they aren't Ansel Adams. But they were plenty clear. I could easily read the info on the license, and see myself.

    I have my license scanned, so I sent that. Scanned is nice and crisp and clear. Turo said no, they cannot take scans. How would they know the difference if I didn't tell them? All of this already had gone FAR BEYOND anything Turo ever had asked of me previously before helping with any issue. At this point I was at a roadblock with Turo. I don't have a better camera, my phone pics look the same. I couldn't make an appointment with a professional photographer in two minutes they gave me before asking whether I still was there. So I ended the chat. I still needed to cancel the booking, so I called a customer service number listed for Turo. Spent another half hour on the phone while they asked a question, put me on hold for a few minutes, etc. Same routine as before.

    Finally they said they could cancel my booking "on my behalf." For $80, a cancellation fee. By this point, I was so exasperated I didn't care. They said they could not reach the host (renter) to see if he wanted to mutually cancel, which would be free. By this point I had been online and on the phone with them for almost 90 minutes. It was worth $80 to be rid of Turo, so I canceled that way. I also scrubbed my phone contacts and email addresses of Turo. I will never do business with them again. I hope never to speak to them or see any mention of them, ever. I'm just exhausted by the process, and it cost me $80 to be worn down this way and then charged. Phew...

    If you are not a driver, nobody will speak to you. I was a passenger and the owner the credit card used to pay for our Turo trip. We received a bogus damage claim, for a scratch we had nothing to do with estimated at $1030 for repair cost. My credit card was charged without authorization, explanation or any sort of dialog. Turo does not make it clear or MANDATORY to submit pictures before the vehicle is accepted by the owner. Then allows the owner 24h to submit any type/degree of damages at the expense of the guest. If you did not take a picture (either at all or of that particular spot of the vehicle) you are out luck proving you did not cause it.

    This company needs an immediate change in policy to stop facilitating fraud. I also could not speak to anyone at all in any of their departments about my credit card charge or about the situation in general. They do not speak to you unless you are a driver or host but they will allow you to partake and pay for their services...

    The day the host was supposed to pick up the car. He arrived early and when I came downstairs he was already in the car. I was going to double check however he began talking, got out of the car and started walking towards the building. I guess to distract me. I only had a bag which I didn't notice my belt fell out of the back seat because I pulled it from the driver's seat and didn't get to double check because host started walking towards my building. I text host the belt was left in the back behind the driver seat he said there was nothing there..He said he had not rented so he knew there was nothing there.

    After a couple of days it's still bothering me so I called Turo because it's the principle the host shouldn't go in the vehicle before time without the customer. And they tell me they can't do anything. Do I have a picture of the Gucci belt I left in the car. I told if I did I wouldn't have left it in there but I do have pictures wearing it. I expected them to allow me to speak with management and also address it differently.

    This company is money hungry. They don't stand behind their customers. I will never rent from them again. Beware the host are allowed to go into their vehicles while you're renting the car. So don't leave any valuables. You never know they could take their vehicles while you're sleeping and do God knows what and blame the customer. Scammers can't be trusted! They use their spare key to enter while you still have time on the rental. This is not professional!!!!

    I'm very familiar with renting out assets. I have an Airbnb. I rent boats, and other equipment. I use multiple apps as well, therefore, was excited to try out Turo for a car rental. Boy was that a mistake! My son has to get to his grandfather's funeral to sing in it and his Bronco was a gas guzzler, therefore, we rented a Nissan listed at $125/day. Holy cow, when he returned it the 30 hours later, we were charged over $700.00! They added fee after fee!

    First there was a "booking less than 24 hour fee @ 10% increase", a young driver fee @ $52.50/day, a mandatory insurance fee @ $23.62/day, a "Trip Fee" @ $95.01/day! a gas reimbursement fee and a reimbursement processing fee, then charge sales tax on all of those fees too. Usually you can save money with private owners, but in this case, it was DOUBLE the cost of going with Budget Rent a Car. Owner set their own rates and charges so there is no uniformity in your charges. Get your quote with all the fees included - in writing - before you rent! BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE!

    I've been renting cars for a while now and never had an issue. I thought I'd give Turo a try since their cars seem to be a little more affordable than others. Nonetheless, I put all my info and credit card information on their site and was pleased to know I was approved to rent. Should have saw the red flag at the term "approved." Anyway, after choosing the car and going to check out I was told that I could not rent a car and that they would send me an email as to why. Then I get the email and was told they would not reveal the reason. Mind you, I have no traffic violations and my driver's license is valid. Very deceptive with a discriminatory undertone if you ask me. Could not even call. Email only. Worst place I've ever attempted to rent from. I don't advise anyone rent from Turo.

    We set up a rental with a guy named Max ** in San Diego California. We called him a half hour before our scheduled arrival letting him know we were there. At this point we learned only that we were to meet at terminal 2 of the airport. That's VERY vague, but it was OK since we expected contact once he arrived. So we went and waited at a place indicating car pickups. And waited. And waited, and texted him wondering when he wasn't there. Again, and again. 30 minutes later he finally reached back via text to say an "assistant" was supposed to have reached out to us. We also learned at that point they were supposed to meet us IN the parking garage - still a very large location, but we went, looked, found no one, texted several times and called but no one reached back except to give us a location that didn't exist. Finally, after 45 minutes of looking for THEM, they cancelled our trip calling us a no-show!

    This is the problem. If they call us a no-show, we can not do a review of them. That's one problem with their product. His review is "excellent" but obviously all he has to do is cancel on US and we can't give a negative review. By the way, at this point we're in a busy airport the weekend before Thanksgiving and there are NO other rentals available anywhere. We lost a net 6 hours overall because of this and was literally 5 minutes from cancelling our entire trip - we could at least fly back home, even though it was still a large cost. Better than sleeping in the airport stranded for 3 days though.

    We will say this though. The Turo rep we called did try hard to help us. We had to find a different phone number than the default number for "escalations" or something like that, but once we had someone, they worked hard to find us another rental. And they did. And the new renter was fantastic. But by this point we were 3 hours late, had to wade through 3 hours of rush-hour traffic in California, and lost, essentially, the entire day.

    Hence why we think the product needs to mature. There needs to be impact for those who fail to meet their obligations. We have a highly rated renter who, because he's making bank, has "assistants" helping him, but if they fail - no big - all he has to do is cancel with "no show" and there's no impact on his review. Sweet deal, right? If he blames us as a no-show, we lose 1/2 of the cost! And what is our recourse? Nothing other than to call, escalate, and beg for mercy from the company. They need a better way of tracking the renter's responsibilities and not giving them 100% control over, essentially, their own ratings.

One thing I’d add is the ability to look at all vehicles in the area, regardless of availability. Maybe you are flexible on dates but want to try a specific vehicle.

    I hated every bit of this experience with Turo. My guest returned the car after 4 days with failed battery claiming that it's normal wear and tear. She picked up the car with a full tank and returned it empty tank. The Turo customer service refused to even reimburse me for the gas refuel citing irrelevant T'/C's. They exert little responsibility as a platform between customers (host and guest). I remove my car from Turo and will NEVER use their platform again. Terrible customer service. AVOID them.

    Although the car was not as clean as we expected, communication with Albert the owner of car is great. We told him about the situation where his car has many cockroaches. As we were driving, a variety of sizes of cockroaches were appearing from the dash board, on the car seats, and floor carpet. They even flew onto our arms and legs. I have notified Albert about the situation but he did not try to do anything about it and just stated that sometimes people leave food in the car which causes the cockroaches to appear. This to me means that he does not clean the car after each rental usage if people were to leave food in there and cockroaches appear. Albert did not offer to switch cars for us or give any reimbursement. Would definitely not recommend anyone else to use Turo to rent from this person.

I informed the host that the flight was delayed about an hr before taking off but he wouldn't wait or come back later to pick me up and left all my family at the airport without any help. Turo company also refused to provide any help and compensate the extra double cost I had to rent the car onsite. Basically you are on your own if you are using Turo service.

    When trying to book a rental, the initial cost listed does NOT reflect the final price. I was able to book a vehicle 4 months in advance but when I tried to find a better deal; from another person, the prices kept on going higher and higher. I found a Prius that was cheaper but when I tried to book it, the daily rate had gone from $29,00 to $61.00 for the same car and dates. Apparently, the company has automatic programming that raises the price of the majority of cars listed once you book a vehicle.

    Fortunately, one of the agents gave me the phone number of the renter and I was finally able to contact him. I was hoping that he would help me rent one of his vehicles. Instead, he was one of the most rude people that I have ever conversed with in my 72 years. Not only did he accuse me of lying about my age, but inferred that I was some sort of troll. He ended the conversation by hanging up on me. Fortunately, I was able to rent a reasonably priced vehicle, but it was extremely stressful and took almost two hours and multiple calls. I would suggest that if you are traveling with a friend that you set up separate accounts

    so that you can search for the best price for your trip.

    My first rental experience with Turo was a good one overall in terms of value. However, the booking experience caused a great deal of stress and I would recommend having a backup traditional rental reservation. My first booking was 3 months ahead of my trip and the owner pulled the vehicle from the host's fleet a month before the trip. My second booking with another host was also pulled a week prior to my trip automatically by Turo as there was a vehicle recall. My third booking was back with the original host, but vehicle options and rates are very different from when I first booked, or even after the 1st cancellation.

    Fortunately, Turo's support was able to assist with the difference in cost for the vehicle I ended up renting. The 2019 Range Rover Sport that I rented was immaculate, but have visible exterior wear and tear, including loose trim pieces, dents, and missing letters from "Rover." The infotainment system was also last updated in 2019, which had significant issues throughout the trip. The key battery also went dead in the middle of my rental. Overall, it was still great value for the category of vehicle that I rented vs. traditional rental companies, even with the added insurance cost.
