Turo review

Turo is not a rental company but a marketplace where local hosts rent out their own cars, and that changes the trade-offs. You book the exact vehicle in the listing from 1,600+ makes and models, including EVs, convertibles, vans and classics, and many hosts deliver to airports, train stations, hotels or your door. Turo says you can pick up at 100+ airports across the US and Canada, with handoffs in person, by lockbox or by unlocking the car through the maker's app. Every trip includes third-party liability insurance under a policy Turo holds with Travelers, but it is secondary cover up to state minimum limits in most states, so check your own insurance. For damage to the host's car you choose Premier, Standard or Minimum protection, trading price against out-of-pocket risk. Support and roadside assistance run 24/7. Because each host sets the price and the rules, read reviews and the pickup instructions before you book.
