    We were really hesitant to use Turo in the beginning but read Kyrylo's reviews and trusted the process. So glad we did because as it turned out, they were MORE than accommodating when we not only changed the pickup time to sooner, but the location as well. We just messaged the owner and he responded almost immediately. Having the convertible to drive around the Keys was so awesome. We can't wait to go back and we will definitely use Kyrylo's car again!

    The renter messaged me insistently throughout the rental (over Christmas, and even though I didn't have a dog, assumed I did, paid for cleaning service and then sent me a bill). And on top of that, asked me to return the car 3 hours before I scheduled. Overall, it's not service's fault, but an anal retentive and greedy rental.

    I rented a car for my trip to Massachusetts and Maine visiting family. Everything went great; I picked up the keys from the mailbox, and had no issues. I would say it could very from person-to-person, but the person I rented was very organized, and quick to communicate. I can’t comment on customer support since I didn’t have any problems, but would recommend this as a more affordable alternative to the bigger car rental companies.

    I have been with Turo for 2 years now as a host. Over the course I have had great and really really bad experiences with the guest. The problem I have with Turo is that they allow guest to leave exaggerated reviews that are not true. I have had guest damage windshield wipers, leave trash in the car, food spilled all in car between seats, not returning on time, no gas refill etc... Each time I do not leave a review of the guest because I feel that since it occurred this one time I won't leave a review at all for the guest instead of leaving a bad review. Guest will send hosts a personal message stating how great the car was and the best experience. Next thing you know, I read a review from the same guest making all types of outrageous and bogus reviews.

    I contacted Turo many times when this has occurred but Turo states there is nothing they can do about it. "How about verify the legitimacy of the review". I have quit Turo in November of 2018 because there is no money to be made and I have grown sick and tired of the reviews full of blatant lies. First, guest wants the car for practically free then they want a brand new car for practically free. They forget Turo is a used rental car website, not a new car rental website. (They need to go to Enterprise for that) Guest renting other people personal cars (used).

    I have not made 1 profit from Turo in 2 years. After my personal car insurance, my car payment, cleaning the car, delivering the car, there is no profit. I am only allowing people to put miles on my car for free. Turo charges the host fees for everything and also charges the guest cancellation fees but guest seem to think the host is charging those fees. Apparently Turo is not making it clear to guest. I have left Turo and most likely will not return. It was a headache with the guests and a waste of my 2 years time and money.

    I rented two cars from Turo and had an okay experience. Car three was a NIGHTMARE and I will never use them again, and highly recommend that no one else does either. First problem: Turo rented a car to me from an owner who had taken his car off of the Turo site months ago and they just kept listing his car. I was on the way to that guy's house with a confirmed rental, when the owner called me and told me he had removed his car from the site a while back.

    I immediately called Turo and they said they'd find me another car. (At this point I'm out $20 in Lyft from trying to get to that car.) I ended up being matched with a guy Turo chose based on my car make and model requests. That guy was a CRIMINAL. We walked around the car together both before and after my rental, and there was no damage, and we both agreed. Like an idiot, I didn't take pictures, because we had both inspected the car together. The next day the criminal claimed I had damaged his car in THREE separate place in the two days I had it. He submitted pictures from the next day (none of which showed the full car or the license plate) after the car had been in his possession for over 12 hours, yet Turo's policy is that I was responsible for the car for 24 HOURS AFTER I HAD RETURNED IT.

    Read that last part again, in case you missed it. You, the renter, are legally responsible for the car for 24 hours after it is out of your possession. Um...? So, yeah, Turo charged me for his claim, a tire with a nail in it, and the criminal said that tire cost him $483.80, with a procession fee of $25. So that's $508.80 for a single tire on a Chevy Volt. Was the tire made of gold??? Turo is a terrible service. Any criminal who wants to rent on Turo can, so expect to be screwed and expect to get zero help or protection from Turo. I will never use them again, but please, for your own sanity and peace of mind, don't use them and be scammed like I was.

    The experience with the host was great. But some of the online experiences were less than intuitive. For example, during sign-up, because I didn't load a photo of myself at first, I couldn't move forward. There are no indications of what is mandatory and what isn't during the registration. The same is true of documenting the condition of the vehicle at pick-up. When I'm asked to take photos, I did with my phone app, not through the Turo app. Only on the second attempt did I realize that was the correct procedure.

    The renting process was so easy and smooth. We had a lot of fun renting the smart car. It was so helpful to move around LA. The only thing that we didn't like, was that when we parked in Santa Monica and when we got back to the car, it had a ticket in the windshield and I didn't know why because we added enough time on the Parkmeter. After reading the ticket it said that the tags were expired since August. I told the owner and he said he was going to take care of that, but I felt a little paranoid that the police could pull me over at any time because of this. Anyways nothing happened and we had a good time but it might be good that Turo checks that the car owners has all their papers current.

    I have overall been more than happy with my experience with Turo. However, there have been a few things that could use some improvement. 1. Being able to see on the RSVP calendar when trying to rent a vehicle the EXACT times and dates a vehicle is available. Many times days won't be crossed out but then I get told that the vehicle isn't available when I attempt to book the car. At which point I am forced to go through the entire day 30 minutes at a time until I find the exact minute the vehicle is available.

    2. The recent addition of the $100 deposit is more than frustrating and, quite frankly, has caused me to not book on multiple occasions. I understand why it exists, but it's frustrating when I am someone who hasn't had a single issue with payment or my rentals while using Turo. It's especially frustrating when I'm renting from someone that I have rented from time and time again with no issues and am suddenly being charged an extra $100. I don't have an extra $100 sitting around to be tied up in a rental. If I did I would go to Enterprise.

    The Vendor (“Turo Inc.”) is either grossly negligent, or routinely provides fraudulent representation of the services provided when an issue arises. I had used Turo several times in the past and had no issues – and enjoyed using the service as it was convenient and cost effective. Unfortunately, this last summer, I booked a trip with an individual named Hazel to use her Mercedes from 8/15 – 8/19 and the host was nowhere to be found when I arrived in Burlington, VT. Specifically, the number listed was a non-working number. Myself and a guest had taken an Uber to a strip mall to get the vehicle, and were left stranded with no transportation. I called the Turo support number, and was issued a $50 travel credit and supposedly a reversal of the charges.

    My guest and I had to Uber back to the Burlington airport in order to get a rental car from Budget for a much higher price. Things then took a turn for the worse – Turo never credited back the charges, suspended my account, and made fraudulent claims to my bank that the charge was proper. These folks are either degenerates or incompetent. Customer service would not even look into the issue – all customers be warned. I decided to just delete my account rather than file a claim against the company because honestly a few hundred bucks isn’t worth it – but be careful as this will eventually happen to you if you use the service often enough. Consumers Beware: IF THE HOST NO-SHOWS, YOU WILL BE CHARGED REGARDLESS AND TREATED WITH AS A CRIMINAL.

    My experience with Turo was stellar per usual. The vehicle was accurate with the picture and was clean. The owner was thorough and kind. I am able to locate a car near me with plenty of options, and I love that I can book instantly without waiting for approval from the owner. The insurance is affordable and offers great coverage as well. I’ll continue to use Turo, it makes my life easier, especially for last minute trips!

    The selection of available cars made the selection difficult, but the ability to something interesting, versus a mundane rental car for the same price was great. The car was where it was supposed to be and exceptionally clean. It drove beautifully... And being a recent Camaro, was fun to drive, even in LA traffic. I had a couple issues with the phone unlock... It turns out that sometimes, when you return to the locked car, the application screen shows the unlock button, but it is not Green and won't unlock the car. I found I had to back up a screen, and return to trip in progress to get the unlock button to go green and allow the car to unlock.

    Similarly, when trying to check out, to see the fuel gauge for the required picture, the ignition was locked and I had to back out of the checkout process to be able to turn on the ignition and activate the fuel gauge. These aren't issues with the car, but you may want to give future renters a heads up (I even called for assistance, but the agent did not know how to solve the problem... After almost 10 minutes I came up with the solution I described above, him up from on-hold and was on my way... Your agents need to have this solution in their trouble shooting database also). All in all, it was a wonderful rental experience.

    I had a great experience renting a car using Turo. The process was easy and simple. The car owner himself was great to work with, he responded quickly to my questions, delivered the car in great conditions and clean and he was very helpful teaching me how to use the app (my first time). It was also very useful the ability to extend my rental as I needed to keep it for longer than expected. And again, the car owner was very flexible and responsive about it.

    I will use this app again and recommend it! I wish you (Turo) would have some way to flag good car owners from bad ones. I choose who to rent from based on ratings and feedbacks. Perhaps to add the stars rating (for the owner) to the car images on the search page would help to make it a faster process while choosing a car. Also to be added to the search results the price for delivery right upfront if that filter is on. Another good thing about your service is to be able to get insurance and to choose which cover you want to easily and quickly. These are my only suggestions! I love the service and I will use it again for sure!

    I rented a vehicle in San Bruno, Ca in October. After returning the rental I was informed that there was damage to the vehicle. I did not damage the vehicle. Turo proceeded to charge me $1000 to repaint an area less than 1/2 the size of a dime. Two months later Turo added a supplemental damage in the amount of $500. Turo is inflating the price of the supposed damage and is committing insurance fraud. Beware. Do not rent from Turo. They will defraud you.

    I decided to use Turo over a rental car company because it should have been a much cheaper alternative. While the base price of my trip was $78 before the "trip fee" and much more favorable than a rental car, I was later SLAMMED with an additional $83.15 change for 27 extra miles. TWENTY SEVEN. 27 extra miles cost more than the entire trip. That is ridiculous. With the base charge, the Turo fees, and the extra fee, using Turo was a substantially worse experience than using a rental car.

    I went on vacation to California and began researching what to rent as soon as I got off the plane. I found the car I wanted to rent and began the process of checkout. I filled out everything necessary. Last step of taking a picture of my licence failed multiple times for whatever reason. Called the support line, they can't help so I was told to email support first and should get a response right away. Such was the case, and they told me to email a picture with drivers licence next to my face along with a picture of my credit card. No response even for the rest of the day nor earlier the next.

    At that point I was just ticked off about the whole thing and emailed back late morning asking why no response. Of course I don't get a straight answer, but instead an email that says they needed the same info they had requested in the first email. Obviously just a stupid computer generated response. Ended up going to Enterprise as I felt this was a lost cause. I was all excited to drive the car I had found only to be disappointed in the end.

    I wanted to save a little money and so rented from Turo for a family vacation. It has been a disaster. The owner of the car agreed to let me return it to a different location than the airport. However, he then did not respond to multiple texts, calls, or emails over the days leading up to the return date. Finally, I was able to reach him the night before the car was set to be returned but this created undue stress for the last half of our vacation. I had a minor fender bender where a small amount of paint came off the bumper. I let the owner know immediately, and he agreed to let me pay him cash for the damage. Without explanation he changed his mind and decided to have Turo handle the claim. The problem with this is that Turo charges a flat $150 administrative fee despite the minimal damage.

    The owner was trying to bill me for tolls he accumulated driving the car the day before I picked it up. I got emails months after the rental telling me that I needed to pay these tolls or provide proof that I did not accumulate them. This wasted more of my time and was frustrating because the burden of proof was on me as the customer and not the owner. Turo was a pain to deal with.

    The worst part of all this is that Turo will not let me review the owner on their site. They give you 7 days after return of the rental car to post the review. Despite many of my problems happening after returning the car, they have steadfastly refused to let me post any review about the owner. They seem to have little interest in supporting the customer. It is impossible to get anyone on the phone that has any ability to do anything except read you a policy. I will NEVER rent from them again and encourage all of my friends to avoid Turo like the plague. If everything goes smoothly you might save a little money, but if there are any issues (which is a reasonable chance with travel), you are much better off with a standard rental company than Turo.

    I complained and said I will never use them again, and all they did was offer me another credit. Why would I need a credit so that I can be killed in an unsafe car and way higher than it was supposed to cost purchase?? Plus when I asked the owner of the car about the charges, all he ever said was that he never dealt with money and he didn't know why I was being charged more.

I did extend my trip by one hour, but my host approved it, there was no notice of a fee, and I was still within my 5-day rental window.

    I rented my car out on Turo last weekend and could not be more disappointed with the claim resolution process. I have a brand new $40,000 SUV in great condition, so I was sure to reiterate Turo’s policy in my ad: NO SMOKING and NO PETS. Still, my renters borrowed my car for the weekend and completely trashed it! There was ash and dog hair all over the car, dog claw prints that tore at the seams of the leather, food crumbs ground into the seats, and a foul lingering odor of smoke and pet dander.

    I was horrified and immediately snapped photos of the damage and contacted Turo. Three days go by and not a single phone call from Turo. I submitted quotes I received to repair the damage that totaled to $1,300+. Turo finally contacted me today and my heart sank when they offered me a $250 settlement, citing Turo policy for pet damage doesn’t cover cost over $250... I lent my car out to help make ends meet and instead I’m out of pocket over a thousand dollars. I’m currently writing this while taking the train/Uber to work while the damage is fixed. Oh yeah, and all of this is while paying for Turo’s highest level “premium insurance”. A lot of insurance that bought me. Unbelievable.

    Turo is a great alternative to renting a car from a big corporation. Much more flexibility in car type, pick up and drop off times and the price is very affordable. I highly recommend! I've used in California, Oregon and Arizona and every experience has been great!

    This was such a great way to experience a car type we would not normally have access to. The pick-up was easy and quick and the technician working was so friendly and knowledgeable! The car was beautiful and in excellent condition. We only wish more mile had been included! Worth the extra money for a day living outside of the ordinary! The convertible Porsche was perfect for San Diego cruising. The Turo App made all transactions super easy and I loved that it required the pictures so you felt confident that the condition of the car was verifiable.

    Overall decent experience. I don’t like the mileage cap and the overrate you pay if you go over the mileage. As well as if you return the vehicle late. Issues happen that prevent you from returning the car sometimes like traffic. Some things are beyond your control.

    I have had two terrible experience with Turo so I want to warn others not to use their services. The first they failed to inform me they kicked the owner of the car I was renting off their app. I called the owner the day before my trip because I had not heard anything and THEY informed me. Turo offered me $25 and a car impossible to get to as a solution. I finally decided to give them another chance a few months later. I was 24 minutes late for dropping off my car. This 24 minutes was approved by the owner. Turo charged me an entire day as a late fee. For "inconveniencing the owner." The owner tried emailing them asking them to drop the charge. This was not an inconvenience to the owner. It was a way for Turo to make extra money. They do not care about their renters or drivers. I recommend using Sixt - a new company coming over from Europe who will hopefully put Turo out of business or Zipcar.

    I opened an account with Turo on 11/27/2018 and booked a car that same night, to pick up on 11/28/2018 at 5:30 in the evening. They debited my account, then deactivated my account. No notice. The Host called me 2 hours before pick-up and told me that the account had been deactivated. When I called the representative and told him the issue, I was told that the verification dept. deactivated it, and if he could put me on a brief (5 min hold) to finish his notes, he would transfer me to that department so that I wouldn’t have to repeat myself. When I was transferred, the woman asked "So what issue are you having?" So, I absolutely had to repeat myself. She asked, “Didn’t you get an email?” I said that I had not. She advised me to check my spam. This is all happening during my workday. There is not an email in sight, spam or elsewhere, and I'm stranded. So honestly? DON’T EVEN GO THERE!!!

    Never use this rental company. They have a flawed rental system that does not require renters to confirm availability of vehicles. Renter canceled at the last minute after the agreed upon pickup time. Renter said he hasn't had the vehicle for 6 months, but forgot to remove the car from the site. It should have never been listed on the website or rented to me. Turo takes your money without confirming with the renter that the car is 'actually' available. I was left in a very vulnerable situation and had to spend hundreds of dollars on an Uber to get to and from the pickup site and car rental place.

    My trip was ruined, hours were lost, and hundreds of dollars wasted. To make matters worse, this was the second car I tried to rent that canceled on me within 24 hours of the start of the trip. Called Turo for customer service. While they reimbursed me for the car rental, there was no compensation for the lost time, wasted weekend, and the hundreds of dollars I had to waste to get out of a very vulnerable situation. Very disappointed and will never use again.

    This review mostly apply for car owners. Especially the ones who owns premium and brand new cars. Please pay attention: there is no value for you to list your brand new car. If you are thinking to extra source of income which definitely is not reliable, go and list a 2-3 years old car. A rude and aggressive guy rent my car. It was my first experience. I had washed my car (2018 - brand new SUV), inside and outside. As a part of process I took some photos for documentation. When The guy returned the car it was just like piece of **. Moreover he passed daily 200km permitted. When I told the guy I will ask for reimbursement, he said, "It's exactly like when I picked it up." "OMG!" I said. He also charged me I am abusing and called me con artist. I was 100% sure I am right cause even if you close your eyes you can at least smell the sense of cleanness.

    All of sudden I received a message from customer support which said, "The dispute is closed in favor of guest." I surprised and email them, explain and asked how did you find out this matter? He told me a funny answer. "We just received the photo when the car has returned. You needed to provide more photo from when you handled the keys." I said, "You haven’t seen the prior check-in photos or haven’t wanted to see?" This is the screenshot from my Turo app which showing prior check-in and after car returned. This time he said, "No you provide only 2-3 photos and it's a little dirt because of rain. Next time provide more photos from the inside as well."

    So Right after I saw this level of judgment, I snoozed my listing in Turo. I think there is no value for me to list brand new cars. Much better if you have a mid size or economy class with 2-3 years age at least. Their customer support is also biased on guests' favour. Do not waste your time and never list a brand new car there. You’d be disappointed.

    If I could give this "BUSINESS" 0 stars, I would in a heartbeat! I signed up for my account on Nov 12, 2018. I dropped my car off in the shop and needed a rental ASAP. I selected my car and completed the checkout only to receive a message that I couldn't book. I call customer service and the only assistance they could provide was to tell me I had to contact the verification specialists via chat or e-mail. I started trying to chat with verification around 9 am (since the rental was time sensitive) and after 4 failed attempts and finally switching to my cell phone, the chat finally worked and didn't give me any more connection errors. Now I find out in the chat that my account has been flagged as "risky" and they want a credit report from TransUnion and about 8 other documents containing EXTREMELY sensitive information.

    When I questioned the associate as to why this information was not relayed to me when I originally established my account on Nov 12 this was her response. "Since our account setup is through an automated system, it may not have registered this". So wait...you want me to send you a copy of my driver's license and a copy of my paycheck through an AUTOMATED SYSTEM... NO THANKS! That doesn't sound secure to me at all. NOT TO MENTION... on their website they state that "in most cases, driver eligibility check takes seconds, so you will be ready to hit the road in a few short minutes..." - IF THAT ISN'T FALSE ADVERTISING, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. All I do know is I will NOT BE USING TURO, I WILL make sure that every guest I serve at the restaurant I work will hear about this and I will be deleting my account as soon as this is posted.
