Turo

Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where private owners and small rental businesses list their vehicles for others to book, operating in the US, Canada, the UK, France and Australia. Choice is the main attraction: listings range from economy cars and everyday SUVs to classic cars, convertibles, pickup trucks and high-end sports models, often with delivery to an airport, hotel or address. Guests choose from protection plans with different deductibles, and hosts set their own prices, mileage limits, cancellation terms and rules. Because each vehicle is run by a different host, cleanliness, pick-up arrangements and responsiveness can vary. Renters should check whether their personal insurance or credit card covers peer-to-peer rentals (many do not), compare protection plan deductibles, review mileage and fuel rules, and photograph the car at pick-up and return.
