    Turo is a blessing for car rentals. It is the must check out for lots of savings. When you Research car rental in Turo you choose a rental and communicate through Turo for length, where to pick up and terms as well as cost. It was perfect renting from Martin. Easy pickup near where I was staying. When a car issue came up, he instantly resolved it and I continued on my way. I would recommend Turo as an alternative to LV airport renting. Do note mileage limits and any other items that may be noted; this is an individual renting the car and not a big company. Martin worked for my month rental perfectly.

    I would give our experience ZERO stars if I could! We have had THREE hosts cancel on us in the last 24 hours. After the second time, my husband called and (after a LONG phone call with Turo’s customer service) finally got another car lined up (which they initially wanted us to pay MORE for even though we said we would not be giving them any more money). While we were on the airplane, that host also cancelled. Now we are sitting at our destination airport with no car while my husband once again is on hold with their customer service line. The lady he is speaking to basically said she can’t do anything and will refund our money. ALL OF OUR HOSTS WERE HIGHLY RATED. Don’t believe the lie that you just have to pick a top host and you’ll be fine. Absolutely terrible experience and we will not be using Turo again.

    I save quite a bit of money by using Turo over the traditional car rental agency. Probably about 35% or so. I had a minor problem with the vehicle but the owner was able to switch out for another car for me, so it was probably better scenario than if I'd rented from an agency, had an issue, and then they would expect me to bring the car back to them to trade it out. This owner actually came to me on-site with a new car.

    Where do I begin? The owner of the car offered free airport pickup in Maui but it cost me $13 to get it out of parking and the owner just blew me off about a refund for this. The car hesitated the entire week and had clunking noises the entire week especially backing up. The radio was out but the owner provided a Bluetooth device to play from our phone. An engine warning light came on as we approached the airport as we were returning the car. I think I'll rent from a real company next time in Hawaii. This is our second bad experience, at least we did not have to get towed like our Turo car in Kauai. The bright side is that we were able to get where we wanted and we saved $10 for the week when compared to Priceline...not worth the risk by any way shape or form. Turo needs better quality control.

    TURO is WRETCHED. They STOLE car that we rented and I would rate them LESS than 1 STAR but this site will not let me. Full Story: We rented a car through TURO in December, 2019. When we landed at the airport, we contacted the car owner on the phone and let her know that we were at the airport. We followed her directions. Got in the car and drove away. Fast forward several days. My husband and I came out a shopping mall in Scottsdale and the Mustang is GONE. It had cell phone, wallet, work computer and other item in the trunk.

    A man approached us in the parking lot and the security guards we were talking to and asked if we were looking for a Mustang. We said yes. He said he had the Mustang, and we were to follow him to the other side of the parking lot. The trunk was open and my phone, wallet and other personal items were in plain sight. They had looked through my wallet. The woman identified herself as the car owner and said that she thought we had "stolen" her Mustang, so she and the two men had "stolen it back." We showed her our reservation on our phone, and she said that they had made a mistake and they were giving us the car back.

    We asked how this could have possibly happened. She said that she owned two Mustangs and they were both parked at the airport and we had "taken the wrong one." We said, if that was true, why didn't she just call us (she had our cell phone number and had never tried to contact us) instead of taking the car with my wallet and my phone in it? What was her plan - just leaving us standing in the parking lot in a city where we didn't live, me with no phone and no wallet and no ID? She gave us no explanation that made any sense, and got in her car and drove away with the two men, leaving us standing there with the Mustang. We returned the Mustang to the airport the next day, per our original agreement.

    When we got home the beginning of January, we contacted TURO's customer service number to complain. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with two different representatives. The second man said he would have his supervisor contact me, maybe the same day, but if not definitely the next day. The following week, when I received no phone call, I called the same number and got the same customer representative. I clearly told him that I wanted my money back. That was about two weeks ago. I never even received a return phone call, and never got any explanation about what really happened. I finally called my credit card company and disputed the charge, because no one at TURO will return my phone call. I have never been treated so awfully in any rental situation I have ever had. You can't make this stuff up.

    My account was flagged for review for some reason which was a joke. I sent them a picture of myself, a picture of myself holding my id, a copy of my credit card, and a copy of current insurance. Even after all of this information they did not immediately unlock my account and allow me to rent vehicles. I have a near perfect credit score, no accidents, work for a large aerospace company, and jumped through all of their hoops. It was a complete waste of my time and I cannot urge you enough to not use their service. Their customer service agent was rude, did not offer any type of real assistance, refused to escalate my case to a manager, and in general it was a bad enough experience to make me write this review. Stay away from this company. Just to clarify this even more, I travel 80% of the time for work so I rent cars 2-3 times per week from major rental agencies. I have never had an experience like this.

    I understand the need to verify individuals, but if they provide the correct documentation immediately (I did so via attachments in live chat), they should be able to unlock your account immediately. They also requested that I get a copy of my DMV record for the last 7 years - at my expense (what a joke). Just to be very clear I have zero accidents, zero tickets, zero insurance claims. I own my own home, multiple cars, and I make a fair salary. Totally not necessary in my opinion to flag my account for a review, unless they do this for everyone - which they don't. There is nothing about my situation that should have flagged my account first off, and second I jumped through all the hoops and they still did not allow me to rent a car on their platform.

    As a consumer I feel like they wasted my time, got me to send them all sorts of personal information that was not necessary or normal to rent a car, and even after doing all this still did not immediately unlock my account. Poor business practice and consumers should choose another way to rent a vehicle if possible. I was stuck somewhere and this was the only car available in the area - the only reason I was using them in the first place. I am sure the individual who had their car listed would have been fine with me taking their car.

    Turo has proven to be an absolutely disruptive addition to the rental car market. Having long been unimpressed with the non-existent customer service provided by the ‘major’ car rental agencies, my experience with Turo couldn’t be any more different. From the streamlined, easily-accessible app, to the friendliness & courtesy of the Turo participants, I could not be more impressed. Rental was smooth, convenient, affordable & the vehicle displayed was precisely the vehicle received - imagine if that were the case with the ‘majors’ out there. In short, if you’re on the fence in regards to Turo, make the leap! Amazing trip, phenomenal service.

    The first time I rented this vehicle, the rearview mirror was literally broken. I spent the whole trip, adjusting the rearview. This time around, the rearview was fixed, but now the transmission seems to be slipping. I wasn’t expecting to feel nervous and to feel as if the car may break down on me. I informed the owner of this and there was no response. The owner of this vehicle only allows 100 miles per day. After searching more, I found other vehicles that allowed at least 200 miles. As the subject title reads... it was a “cheap” experience. Unsatisfied and I am looking to Turo, to fix this situation.

The individual I rented it from responded quickly, we agreed on a place to meet and everything was quick and simple. I would highly recommend using Turo.

    WORST POSSIBLE SERVICE EVER! I rented a car on Turo for a ski trip. I had some minor scratches on the car (hey, when you drive on the highway, it could definitely happen). I talk to the car owner, and he told me Turo will handle everything and I don’t need to pay for it. And here is what happened. Turo partners with third-party insurance companies to inflate claims. After all, if you partner with Turo, WHAT INCENTIVE THEY HAVE TO GIVE A FAIR ESTIMATE? And surely, Turo will refuse to allow you to use a third party to verify if the bill is reasonable.

    Turo intentionally does not offer full-coverage insurance. SO THEY CAN ALWAYS FIND REASON TO CHARGE YOU AT LEAST $500. Turo WILL TRY TO FORCE THE CLAIM INTO COLLECTION. This may sound crazy, but over the months after my trip, I still kept receiving Turo’s promotional email. But only when I checked my spam mailbox month later did I see all the claim email. And when they send you the claim email, they don’t give you any time to take reasonable actions. If you don’t pay the check, they will send you to collection agencies. They call it “STANDARD PROCEDURE”… See, this is how they treat their customers. Use your own judgment when you rent from them in the future.

    As a new host to Turo, however an experienced investor, the Turo platform is very supportive of guests who are destructive of the vehicles. I am slightly appalled by the this and the process and haggle Turo takes its host (owners) through. After recently experiencing damage to our vehicle, Turo asks for US to provide credit card information, I presuming in case it is a false claim. As a property owner, and after using other hosting platforms, I never felt scrutinized about something that I OWN. In addition, after the mechanic assessed the damage, Turo suggested that we continue to allow the renter to use/destruct the vehicle! Why is this an acceptable practice?...Sure several check engine lights are now on, the vehicle now needs repair, and has several paint scratches that weren't there before but yes allow them to continue use of the vehicle and hopefully it will come back in one piece.

    In addition after 6 days of usage, Turo refunded the party the ENTIRE payment! Not only are we now out of pocket for the damages, but the guests had our vehicle for an entire week free of charge...never heard of at any other car rental company! Astonishingly, I have read several other posts that testify similar hardships when dealing with Turo.

    Turo is seemingly a great service. Once you peel back the layers of the onion though, you find a company that has not put its investments into customer service, renter protection, or a quality product. Story: We arrived at our destination airport after a long flight, bright eyed and ready to begin our adventure from the airport. We had four adults, two young kids. My partner opens the Turo app to contact the Turo rental car owner and there is no reservation showing. None...

    We restarts the app thinking it MUST be a mistake... but unfortunately the app still shows no reservation. Please know we had made the reservation weeks prior, and everything was confirmed. Turo had not sent us any notification that the rental was cancelled or there was any issue. So we called Turo, they basically said they can't find any cars for us, but would be able to offer us a big luxury car for another $600 in addition to the amount we paid (which was about $700). Really Turo? Really? We're not Bill Gates here... we are just an average family trying to travel.

    Long story short, we rented a car from Expedia as we were told by Turo they would offer us a $60 reimbursement to cover our losses. Here we are, stranded hours in the airport, and they offer $60 bucks... sad company. So we rent the car, then send them the receipt for reimbursement. This was early October. They said it would take 6 weeks to mail out a reimbursement check, yes 6 whole weeks. It's amazing how they took our money and credit card payment in 6 seconds, but sending us money somehow takes 6 weeks right? Here we are, February 1st, 2020, nearly 5 months later, no check, no communication, just terrible customer service promises that never get fulfilled.

    For the first few trips, things were going smoothly and we were making money. However, the 4th person that rented our truck STOLE it from us. When the police found it a couple weeks later, they were arrested for drugs and auto theft. They had done a ton of damage to the truck but Turo denied almost all of the damages accept one small item and they only paid for a portion of that because there was already ‘prior damage’ to the taillight. They sent me a closeup of my taillight before it was stolen to show a small scratch on it and used that to say it was already damaged and to only cover a few bucks of it. I have been fighting this for weeks. They aren’t going to approve the damages. This is infuriating!!! Why bother purchasing insurance!?!? If you care about your vehicle - DO NOT rent it out on Turo. I’ve heard a similar nightmare story about the insurance not coming through on a totaled Ferrari. This is not a reputable company!! BEWARE!!!!

    Updated on 02/05/2020: After requesting the claims department review what was being called damage (a simple paint transfer) I have received an update that there is more found by the repair shop that needs to be fixed. I attempted to reach out to the repair facility, of course this information can not be released to me, it's not my car (it is my money). I'm unable to protect myself or validate what they are claiming. I'm just being billed for whatever they decide. We never hit anything! We can't even say those scrapes under the car happened when we had it, the rural area we were visiting didn't have parking stops, most parking was parallel. That is why I was understanding of the hub cap. Although I didn't feel a new hub cap was warranted and then a clear coat applied? I just warn any renter to take many, many, many pictures if you decide to use this company. My suggestion is Do Not Rent from them!

    Original: Car rental with Turo, 6 days almost $1500.00! Owner could have got the car detailed to get paint transfers from the undercarriage! NO I Paid to have the bumper removed, sanded, painted and replaced. As the renter I never thought to look under the car to see if a stop bumper may have left paint under the car, well I should have, will not really, because the claim department doesn't take into consideration what the damage really was/is. The vehicle was not physically damaged, no dents or scratches to the paint or body. The owner took it to a shop who wanted $1018.63 to remove, paint and replace. Plus appraisal fees $75.00, Processing fees $75.00, Cleaning fees $51.50, rental $310.00. Oh included it this repair is a new hub cap. Got a paint transfer from a curb. Returned vehicle on 12/17 5:00 am. 12/19/19 received notice of a $500.00 retainer fee being processed against my credit card until case is decided.

    01/06/20 was informed I owe another 668.63 which they took directly out of my credit card. I tried to explain it was a paint transfer since I own and operate an auto repair shop on Maui, they didn't care to entertain the idea. I would have been more than happy to pay for the repair if they had just tried to clean the vehicle first. I was taken for a ride. I fear to encourage anyone to rent from TURO since you won't know what kind of owner you are dealing with until it's too late. Claims doesn't support the renter so get all the insurance offered and then some if you choose to rent from them. BTW the car had a chipped windshield and a rear hub cap with a paint transfer on it. I'm sure that was being processed, but it shouldn't have been rented with the chip in the windshield.

    Do not rent your car through Turo. Or you will be responsible for every damage that renters do to it. Just facts:

    1. A guest returned the car with an engine light on. Claimed it happened after the car wash. I took the car to the shop few days later (the first available time) - apparently the guest list a gas cup (all guests always bring the car back with the full tank so we never even thought to check that). The guest admits in the messages that the engine light when on during his trip. I have a check for the repair. Turo investigates it for 10 freaking days and then send me a quote from their claim policy - you have to claim the damage within 24 hours. I mean I get the idea, but do you have robots there or humans who can analyze the situation?

    2. This one even funnier. Apparently Turo does some kind of insurance frauds. Another guest scratched the bumper (Mercedes 2016), in to places, one scratch is about 10 in long and kinda deep. Turo appraises the damages and sends me $93! 93 dollars to fix the damage on Mercedes bumper! Are we in 1980 or something??? But here is the best part: Turo charges that guest $3,000!!!! The guests freaks out and send me screen shots, requesting why I'm charging him $3k. And I don't know why, because all I receive is $93. Now you tell me if this is a scam or not scam?

    Please stay away from this company.

The tires were worn. Slight smell of old smoke. I just don't think any of that is acceptable for a rental car. Leads me to believe there isn't a systematic way for Turo to check the condition and maintenance of the cars and thus I really can't recommend using it and I'll go back to normal rental services. The insurance portion of this service is a little concerning. I realize now that my credit card's coverage from a normal rental service would actually be a better deal for a better car. Just isn't a value here unless I go for limited coverage. Also, what happens if I get a flat or get in an accident? It isn't clear to me how to use the insurance.

    We had heard good things about Turo. Unfortunately our experience was terrible. After returning the car, the owner claimed we had mildly scratched the car in four places. We disagreed. Turo only sided with the owner and we were charged with thousands of dollars for repair - basically to get the car detailed for the owner. Apparently the fine print reads that the owner has 24 hours within the drop off time to report any scratches. Because the drop-off point was a public street, the owner (or any other bystander) could have scratched the car after the drop off... and with no question we would be stuck with the charges. As far as we know, this is what happened. Turo was not helpful at all, and would not discuss the issue with us. Instead, they tried to charge our credit card right away before the case was settled. We will NEVER be using Turo again. This was the most expensive car rental experience of our lives.

    They have high untraditional hidden fees for a car rental business. I gave them my estimated time of pick up and drop off as I always do with car rental companies. They texted me last minute while in NYC with the rental and told me I to get the car back or "there may be late fees" then told me the next day owe $44.52 extra for an old minivan with a 150K miles on it. Had the Van from 9:30 a.m. to 7:40 p.m. Local car rental agency would have given me 24 hours for far less. I only had the Van from 9:30 a.m. to 7:40 p.m. period my local and fries would give me 24 hours for a brand new Durango for less money. After complaining to the BBB they admitted to the mistake and lowered it to $20. I asked if they could waive that as a first-time customer and they sent me to collections after the BBB complaint was closed. They now want $74.55 or they will hurt my credit.

    Turo left us stranded and will not reimburse for incurred expenses. Beware of this company. Hundreds of dollars expended without reimbursement and left in a parking lot miles from the airport to figure it out on our own. Nobody by the name even lived at the address provided! Lost all camping expenses for five days, transportation to the location (they said they would give us $50). Wasted a full day of vacation and two days since our return trying to get reimbursed.

    I used TURO as platform for rent my vehicles out. In begin of October one of my vehicles was totaled loss due a bad driver. TURO called the bank and asked what was the debt amount for this vehicle (bank record the phone called). After that, Turo sent me a power attorney to the wrong address ( I have the emails between me and the agent) and it took another extra week to sent the power attorney to my home.

    Later on, Turo sent the amount of debt via paper check, and bank never received it. TURO sent it to the wrong address again. After one month of wait in case bank received the check, Turo sent a second check. In this case, bank received it and process. During those two months, bank continued charge me 3 dollars per day as interest for the car loan. Because Turo negligence, the original amount was different than the final amount however Turo just sent the original amount and a debt of 160 dollars was originated. Turo refused to pay the difference even with proof of his negligence. I ended this story paying those 160 dollars. By the way, I paid for a replacement vehicle plan during "repairs" however, Turo just paid 30 per day for 10 days, I have to cover the extra 1 month and half with my money.

    As hosts, Turo takes complete advantage of the car owners. They will never side with the car owner. Requesting reimbursement is a miserable process. If the customer disputes reimbursement, you are screwed. They allow them to get away with unpaid tolls by making the process unbearable to complete. If you request reimbursement for cleaning, Turo will pretend to not see any dirt in the pictures and rule it as "light dirt" that can easily be cleaned. The car can be covered in mud and bugs and they pretend that it's not dirty. Sadly this is not an exaggeration.

    Hoping to bring awareness to all social networks so that people interested in hosting their vehicles don't get exploited. Customer service for hosts is non-existent. Not kidding, go ahead and call the only number they have and request host services and they refer you to online chat that replies with generic short sentences every 5-8 minutes (about 45 minutes for a simple question). It should be illegal for companies to operate like this. No way to escalate matters or speak to a manager. The names of the representatives are fake and no way to verify.

    As a first time user and AFTER I went thru the entire booking search & information input online, I was declined. It was very time consuming to find a customer service phone number and once I spoke with someone they stated I had to go thru a "Verification Process", that it was often part of a first time user occurrence. They stated that I was not able to speak to someone by phone (Flag), that it could only be handled via online chat (Flag). Accessing the chat link was not straight forward and the format was severely time consuming and not user friendly as I was disconnected twice after already providing my information and narratives for at least 15 min per chat Rep. They requested photos of my driver's license and credit card which I had already provided online.

    They claimed that I was denied booking due to "Flags" on my information; however, they would not define what those supposed "Flags" were (that was a serious Flag for me). When I requested their rationale and justification for their need to have photos of my personal documents, I suddenly "lost the connection". During the 2nd Chat attempt I provided all of my acct info again, and also asked the Rep to confirm if the company was registered with the U.S. BBB, to which I again "lost connection". The 3RD Chat attempt, I immediately opened with requesting verification that TURO was registered with the BBB and was completely ignored and probed for my information instead. ANY company that operates under a veil, entirely online, especially in matters of customer support and service, with ZERO transparency to their customers, should be met with extreme caution and skepticism. I definitely will not be using or recommending Turo.

    This was my first time using Turo. I needed something large enough to fit at least 6 passengers. As I searched the available vehicles in my area, I found what I thought was a decent vehicle based on the pictures and description that was provided in the app. When I went to pick up the SUV, it was extremely damaged, all the vehicle warning lights were on (i.e. service light, transmission light, DLB light, etc.) which was quite alarming.

    I wasn't sure how safe it was to drive, I contacted the host to let him know about the lights and never received any type of response. Thankfully the vehicle never broke down during the week I had it but I will probably never use Turo again based on this experience. I would spend the money using a reputable rental car agency before taking a a chance with another vehicle like the one I received using Turo. To help improve this service, I recommend that there be some type of quality review of the vehicles that being rented out before allowing them to be advertised on the app.

    I rented a 2007 Toyota Yaris from Fahad in Tempe, Az. It was ok in Tempe. But once I got to Flagstaff I realized the defroster was not working. The whole vent switch was not working, and driving in the car was like driving in a cloud (It was Dec 2019 - they had gotten a lot of snow. I had a 9 year old in the car. The roads were icy… The car was simply unsafe to drive as it was). I texted Fahad about this, to which he said that he had had problems like this with another vehicle, and that it was easily repaired, and he sent a link to a YouTube video explaining how to remove the inside paneling of the car to fix said problem. I removed the paneling - I could see where the panel clips were removed, and where a wire was used to try and "fix" the electronics. I called him and said "Yeah, it looks like someone’s already been in here", and he said "oh yeah, that was me" - so by another car having this issue he meant THIS car having this issue!

    He walked me through the process of trying to rig the car as he had rigged it with the wire before, but it did not work. At this point, 5 hours after being marooned I was done. I called Turo and they essentially said that if the car was rolling they were not responsible for helping it get back to the owner or helping in anyway transfer it out (I had to drive it back or I’d be charged with the towing fee). I ended up having to rent another car (tip-top shape from a major car rental) and leave Fahad’s car in their parking lot to continue my trip, and then drive Fahad’s car back down to Tempe. Never again! One of the worst transactions ever. I felt like I was dealing with scammers – I feel like both Turo and the owner of the vehicle were con artists.

    DO NOT RENT FROM THESE UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE. If I could give a rating of zero, I would. THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEVES. I rented a car for a week IN FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA from YEVGEN **! I returned it the following day due to a squeaking noise, and rented from someone else. This unscrupulous human being reported that I damaged the underside of the car. I know he used the underneath damage because there was no way I could see that from just the normal walking around the vehicle and doing a visual inspection: we both saw no damage on the body. He pretended to be helpful by using my phone to take pictures, however he skipped over the picture taking portion and went directly to the reviews and gave himself a 5 star review for the transaction. What a piece of trash! I know he took advantage of the fact that I am young and inexperienced.

    My Bank couldn't even help me because he produced pictures to prove his case. What a callous human being. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PREDATOR YEVGEN **. I'm sure he will do it again if he hasn't done it already to someone else. TURO support was also useless, because they kept transferring me to different departments and after verifying my email several times, the final TURO representative said that she could not verify it. This could not be possible, since it had been verified several times in the past in reference to this exact situation, and it was also the first and only time I have and will ever rent from them.

    I rented a car from Turo now over two months ago. I rented the car for several days and after being at the location I realized I didn’t need to car as long as I had planned. I contacted the host and he agreed to pick up the car early for additional charges. I agreed and everything went as planned. Tonight I received a notification that my American Express had been charged $48 from Turo. I contacted American Express because it was over two months ago that I had rented a car from that company and they are now disputing the charge. However they recommended that I reach out to Turo.

    I looked for a way to contact Turo and they have a text response in which I used to discuss my concerns. Turo acknowledged the charges and said that the host had submitted payment for a parking ticket that were received supposedly when I rented the car. Turo however does not have any proof that this is a valid bill and so without any proof Turo has chosen to withdraw $48 from my account.

    First off while renting the car I didn’t receive any parking tickets. Secondly it’s been over two months in which Turo said they give the host up to 90 days to submit bills. Again had they received proof of this I can understand. However no proof was given to Turo from their host and they withdrew $48 out of my account unannounced. If I had not received the alert from my credit card company I might have not known they withdrew the money. This seems like a scam. They now are requesting that the host provide proof within 24 hours or they were removed the charge. However if I had not contacted them they would have just taken the money out of my account without notification. I would recommend renting from other trusted companies after experiencing this type of fraudulent activity months after renting from their service.

    We've used Turo 3 times now, and each experience has been worse than the last. We have been planning a Christmas trip to Banff, Canada for months now and knew we would have to organize a car early on as it is a busy time of year during the holidays and there would be limited options closer to Christmas. So we booked a car with Turo a few months out to ensure we had something. It is now December 23rd, and we just received word from Turo that our booking (for tomorrow, the 24th) has been cancelled, leaving us stranded when we arrive at the airport with no way to get to our accommodation in Banff (2 hours drive from the airport).

    We understood that sometimes things like these happen, so we tried our luck finding another car on Turo as quickly as possible using the refunded money and $25 credit they gave us. Luckily enough we found a car that was slightly more expensive, so we'd just pay the difference. We got to the checkout, with everything looking like it was going to work, when all of a sudden the price changed and we were told we had to pay the full amount; our refund (and $25 credit) had magically disappeared. We called their customer service team who after about an hour of trying to explain to them what happened, told us we would have to pay the full amount, as our refund wouldn't arrive for another 3 days. The customer service was not only unhelpful, but extremely rude about the entire situation as well. We would not recommend Turo based on our experience with them.

As a matter of fact, I got a message from the driver right after my plane landed. So they were promptly ready to issue me the car.

    Return was easy as well. I returned the car to an easy-to-get-to Holiday Inn where the Turo driver then drove me to the airport to catch my flight. I like the fact that there are no hidden or additional fees like car rental agencies like to add on. I like the fact that you get to choose your car ahead of time. The Turo website/app is easy to use with plenty of filters to narrow down the selection. Overall, I will always use Turo to rent cars.

    Turo takes 30% of your pay if you select standard insurance, which only covers damages 3 inches or larger as I found out. Turo takes 40% of your pay for premium insurance, which covers a lot. Turo also charges you a fee if you file a claim that does not meet their coverage requirements, which they consider fraudulent claims. My car got damage in a $81 600 mile trip and Turo didn't pay to fix it. Estimated cost was $500. It cost me $80 for synthetic oil change and more for other maintenance. I had 3 trips that made me $398, 3 trips and about 2100 miles. Just one damage that Turo refuses to cover wiped it all out. So, I basically paid someone to drive my car.

    Even if there's no damage, $398 for 2100 miles is like $.19 cents per mile and risking damage to your car that Turo will not pay for if under 3 inches. I don't know if you know but 3 inches is HUGE, it could render your vehicle useless. If I had chosen the premium insurance, my income would had been $341 for 2100 miles. And that $81 trip for 4 days would had been $69.
