Upgrade to car sharing
Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book cars directly from trusted local car owners. Turo does not own any cars — when you book a car on Turo, you get a personalized service and experience from hosts who share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Filters are just broken. Did someone even test them? Try listing a car, then do a very specific search for it – most likely it will fail. I have 2 cars, and some filters are failing for either one. About one of them it thinks it’s a sedan when in fact it’s an SUV! How in the world are people supposed to discover my car when it’s right for them if filters are not working??? Giving you 5 stars just cause from the guest perspective it worked fine for me so far. From host perspective it’s 2 at most.
Do not use this company! It is too hard to get ahold of a real person in an emergency and there is no real support when something goes wrong (like the vehicle you arranged is completely and utterly dead in the middle of the night before ever leaving the parking lot and you are stranded without a car and without a solution and unable to get Turo to respond.). Use Avis. They saved the day!
I had an excellent first experience. Turo’s customer service was there every step of the way. I had some minor concern and all were handled professionally. As for the rentor, excellent service! I followed his instructions and everything went smoothly. Too smoothly that it’s scary. Thank you making me comfortable and giving me a great experience. Will use you again. Know that the bar is set high.
My first time using this service/platform. Very easy to use and the person I rented from (Aaron B) was awesome. I’ve rented cars over the years ( I’m 51 ). I have never heard of “Turo” or this kind of business.. I am VERY PLEASED with the whole experience!!! PS… I have read some negative reviews but it’s only natural. Just like on eBay or Amazon – Some seller you order from are horrible. The same goes for TURO. The individual who is renting the car makes the difference. Just choose wisely
It’s a good app, the only improvement I would suggest is the availability map. Currently, you can only see a car’s location after you have selected it. I recommend the other way around: select the location dot on the map to see what car is available. Otherwise, it’s a very user friendly app
First experience was catastrophic. It was a late booking, and the 5 start host had 1 location listed, and I can only guess they had taken the car elsewhere, because they hadn’t rented it that day, but when I requested rhe rental and they accepted, again I can only guess they thought it was for the next day. I showed up and the address abruptly changed to a city 30 mins away, and I had already been dropped off by an uber. I could not rate the host since the reservation was cancelled. Good concept
Great concept. I use turo when traveling and I need a vehicle (especially a fun one). I have read bad stories/reviews, but I have always had a positive experience. One time they cancelled on me but it was 24hr notice, I had already saved several others that I was interested in anyway, so it didn’t matter. My reason for 4 star is, when I’m searching for a vehicle and go to review it or check texts, when I come back it refreshes and loses my spot and filters. Minor inconvenience, but it’s annoying
I wish Turo allowed me to search for vehicles that offered free parking with the rental. I’d also appreciate being able to message owners prior to committing to renting. Also the vehicles availability is not accurate. I see the vehicle available on my end, but when I attempted to book it wasn’t available. The app was difficult for me to get the hang of and find what I needed, it didn’t save my settings. I would however still recommend it for certain situations.
I wanted mobility to do my own thing during a visit back to see family, friends, doctors, etc. and this was my first Turo.The app is not always intuitive, e.g, I wrote a review and then was asked to write this “public” review. However, the experience with the owner and the car itself went very well. Michael communicated clearly, promptly, and professionally. The car was in nice shape and ran well, yet practical and comfortable as if I’d borrowed from a friend. Overall a positive experience.
Have yet to use the service but the app is very intuitive and easy to work with owners. Our trip is in July in Hawaii and we’re looking forward to the service and it living up to it’s reputation. On another note. Can you eliminate jeeps from the list of “convertibles” please. They are not traditional convertibles and it can be easily fixed by simply having the option to “exclude” certain manufacturers.
Awesome Deals if you are looking for a unique vehicle to return back into the same town. But if you need to drop off in a different town, it can be kinda tricky. User friendly app. Had customer support if needed. but pretty well organized from check-in to checking out. would book again with Toro. just call and make sure you insurance covers it. or just buy the insurance they provide. which is what I did. felt safe throughout the ride. great host and nice ride.
My rating refers to the hosting experience. I’ve only had two guests. The first guest was great. I showed him all of the flaws with the vehicle, took pictures, etc. He rented and returned the vehicle on time. All good. My second guest requested delivery and pickup via chat, but not through the app. I couldn’t figure out how to request payment from the customer. You can’t. The request must come from the customer through the app. I spent a third of my earnings on delivery and pick up.
I just returned my first rental after six days. The experience was vastly different than that of traditional rental companies. Booking and picking up the car was quick and easy. My mind was put at ease when I was prompted to document the car’s condition in the app at pickup/drop-off. The owner had done the same, in the event that any damage was present. Roadside assistance and optional additional insurance is available when using Turo. Prices are extremely reasonable. Goodbye rental companies!
0 stars!!…This is the most ridiculous service I have ever seen! Not only do they charge 100% of the trip cost as trip fees, basically double charging people! Plus, their customer service is ridiculous and have no information at all besides unhelpful generic tips that’s already on the app. Any issues, they must reach out to local support of some kind which basically copies and paste the same information to your email and calls it help. The most inconvenient and expensive service out there!!
REVISED REVIEW: I’ve had a couple hosts cancel on me & when Turo finds the replacement car I have had to pay additional fees which I feel shouldn’t be required. If I cancelled original car choice I would be fine paying more but if not my choice to change Turo should not add extra fees. Also daily price shouldn’t change during trip. It should stay same from beginning until end even if extend out the trip. ORIGINAL REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this app. Its convenient & easy to use.
Used it for the first time for 10 days. A really good alternative to traditional rentals and will save you money. Much simpler and less headache involved with the pickup and drop off process. A wide variety of cars can be found to suit your taste as well. We were able to rent an EV! If you going to LA, consider checking out the owner called, LA AutoSpot on Turo.
Nice clean car spunky enough to get in and out of traffic. Had it for a week, it was fuel efficient. I could pair my phone for calls but couldn’t figure out how to play my music through Bluetooth. It was a long ride with the radio playing. Gotta love all the commercials! Not. Other than that it was a great car.
I landed in Pittsburgh late at night, my rental car agency was closed and out of cars without even a notification (email, text) that they’re out of cars and will be closed when I arrive. after contacting several other rental companies and no luck finding a vehicle, I remembered hearing about Turo. Turo saved the day. It was fast and effortless to rent using the app. The host was amazing, the car was new and awesome. Turo is now my number one car rental agency in my book. Thank you for everything
This was my first time using Turo and everything went really smooth. The system was unique but if you follow the directions carefully you will be fine. My husband and I originally only needed the car for 2 days but had ended up needing to extend our trip to 10 days! I sent a message asking for a phone call and got a response within 30 min. AK then rearranged other rentals so we could keep it longer. He was extremely helpful! Overall it was a really great trip!
I really enjoyed driving the Lexus NX. I have thinking of purchasing one, so it alao served an extended test drive. The car was very clean and had a full tank, when I picked it up. Mario was very responsive when I had questions and very clear with instructions. He made the experience easy for a first time Turo user.
This little car is ideal for a couple and their luggage. Larger families might find it a bit small. It’s surprisingly nippy around town and easy to park. On the highway and on hills, it performs better than you might expect. The front seats are comfortable and the car was easy to drive and had some unexpected features for a small car. James delivered the car as requested, although we were late arriving due to a delayed flight. He also changed the pick-up for our convenience.
It was my first time using the app and service and my experience was great all around. I initially was worried I had messed up by not doing the account verification before arriving at destination-worried they wouldn’t approve in time but got my approval quickly and was able to pick up vehicle within an hour of my original desired timetable which was fine. Loved it, going to use again in future
It is pretty easy to use, even the check in and out process is easy once you have done it a couple times. I wish I could just end the trip early if I get back early to start the checkout instead of having to “modify the trip” and request the change from the host. It can lead to standing around if you are waiting to take the pictures etc to prove there was no damage done.
I used the turbo app and has a fantastic experience. the app was very easy to use and very easy to understand. the process of getting it paid to getting the car picked up was easy and quick. I was able to communicate with the person lending me the car the entire time which made things a lot easier when I needed to extend my trip. cost was a little bit high and the selection was a little low but I really enjoyed the hybrid that I did get to take is a very clean car was well taken care of .
It’s a scam. You go through the entire process, get your car set up with it showing you a price. Then when you’re ready to pay and you enter your card information, it QUADRUPLES the “trip fee” with no warning. If you’re not paying attention, you can easily get caught paying twice as much as you were expecting. My bill went from $150 throughout the whole process to suddenly $250 right when I was about to tap to pay.
I would prefer to be able to book 2 cars at the same time. I needed to pick up one before returning another, but couldn’t do that. For scheduling purposes, this would have made my day a little easier. However, I love the ease of the app and that everything is shown up front. There is a trip cost fee that I think needs to be explained a bit more in detail, but overall I highly recommend using Turo.
1st Turo rental with Phillip and I am hooked. the end to end experience beats any commercial rental car experiences I have ever had. But to be fair, you have to link up with a Super Host. The car you book is the car you get, you have a lot of control on what service features you want to include or exclude and the convenience add for end to end pick up and drop offs is worth it for me. Definitely worth checking it out. –NT
The app is currently broken for me on two devices. I use a Samsung Note10+ and a Note20 Ultra. On both devices, when I go to extend my rental, the app tells me that I am not connected to a network. This is regardless of being connected to WiFi or mobile data. I have already downloaded the latest update, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, cleared the cache and cleared all user data. The only workaround I have found is to extend from the website.
I’ve used this app once. The host had a great car, and great responsiveness. The process with Turo is ridiculous. Car rental is easier. Now post trip I am going back and forth on some incidental charges that are valid but Turo hasn’t charged because of “evidence” not being uploaded. Pickup and drop-off of the car was also stressful because the app requires connectivity for picture uploads etc and I literally had no signal at Orlando airport. Great idea, this, but fix your processes
Prices are all bait and switch. First they sell you on a daily rate. Then they add on fees to give you Estimated Total Rate, (this is annoying but normal). Then after you enter all your personal info (credit card, drivers license) they add on another significant fee at check out. It’s a fee they add on to every car but they don’t list it till the end so they can get more money out of you.
Drivers and vehicles are great, like airbnb for cars. The app is extremely buggy and unstable. Can’t view listing OR access help OR view trip rules while my trip is live, despite being online and having zero issues accessing other apps. Turo app keeps spinning on all three pages and then says I’m offline. Extremely useless. Uploading photos can also be buggy, which is a huge hassle if you’re trying to start your trip.
App crashes so much I can’t register. It keeps crashing telling me, ‘it looks like you’re offline”. No, Turo, I’m in the middle of town with 4 bars and connected to wifi. Tried for half an hour to register and couldn’t get more than 2-3 steps in before it would crash. Fix your app. Stability is more important than anything
So convenient! Cheaper and so much more reliable than those rental companies. I had to go to three different Enterprises, after making a reservation, only to be told that they didn’t have the car I had reserved!! My uber driver told me about this app on the drive home and it was a LIFE SAVER! The car I rented was so nice and much cheaper than it would have been if I had gotten it from any other rental service. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!
Great experience! So helpful, efficient and fun! i needed a rental car for something that came up without much planning. It was also important to me to have a safe place to park my car, and return for the dropoff as it was late at night. None of our local, “chain” car rental outlets could offer this. i was thankful to have found Valerie’s! Also the SUV was terrific!
Turo started out as a great option but have learned that if a seemingly simple issue with trip(i.e. car swap, extension req or requesting billing history)arise it may turn into a nightmare. Support will reassure the issue will be resolved, however it may devolve into hours long phone calls with bizzare lengthy hold times. I did really like several hosts as they were very accommodating & a pleasure to work with on a trip. It’s really a shame turo support isnt up to par with the hosts.
Great service when it works, but completely unreliable. I had a rental cancel on me in the middle of the night a few hours before I arrived for a week-long vacation. Turo customer service was unable to help me find a replacement vehicle on such short notice, so I had to pay significantly more for a last minute rental at one of the normal car rental companies. While I think it could be useful for other scenarios, I would never use Turo again for renting a car that I need at a specific date/time.
It’s Airbnb for cars! Used it once so far and it was so convenient! Definitely recommend over the rental car companies. You get nearly unlimited selection of vehicles and is definitely cheaper than a traditional rental car. You can also add up to 8 drivers for no extra fee and there was no fee for drivers under 25yo. Pickup and dropoff is also as flexible as your host wants to be. Great business idea. Will use again.
The app is difficult to navigate and takes a day to update earnings and an hour to update the calendar. It rarely charges customers my delivery fee. It does not walk a new owner thru the setup process, I just had to keep clicking on things until I was approved, and even then I missed stuff. I’ve had great success with renting out my Jeep, but the app itself is problematic.
Excellent service! Two app suggestions: 1) It would be nice to be able to select a range of years instead of just one at a time. 2) Sometimes the search filter acts wonky when you leave it for awhile, resetting itself or resetting partially.
Car was what was expected but there was a noise coming from the car. It didn’t seem to affect the performance. Was stopped by police because the registration was expired and the insurance was expired. Called owner. Assistant responded. Luckily I wasn’t given a ticket. Video to open lockbox to retrieve key was excellent but it didn’t show how to reattach the lock and lock it when leaving the car at the end of the trip. Had to leave the car at secondary parking lot.
