Thank you for getting straight to the point. So many people make these videos and although they can be helpful they're too long! So thank you, the tips were so helpful and clear. This will definitely help me when planning my next vacay!!
With 300 miles normally your looking at 50 cents a mile for car depreciation so I would hope the owner is getting 150 dollars if that is the miles driven. For a three day rental I would place the value at 50 dollars a day
I'm not sure what the minimum age is for Turo, but I'm 19 and I was able to rent a car. I rented a 2011 Nissan Xterra, so it didn't have AUX or bluetooth. My host included a vent mount and an AUX/bluetooth to FM adapter, so that was very nice.
When you come back to dfw in your map app in your phone you can turn on avoid tolls on your settings... Dfw is pretty much a circle of circles, every thing connects to another freeway. I'm from dfw and I never take the tolls
When to ny to visit my mom I rented a bentley continental from turo from a guy in New Jersey he charge me $250 per day and a $700 deposit and I had no issue in total I spend $2700 for 10 days after I return the car I got my $700 back
@Ray Field yes every car you rent you gotta put a deposit if the owner ask for it some do some don’t but if it’s expensive cars then yes 10/10 they ask for deposit and for the days you gonna use it so deposit plus the days you gonna use it right now I’m in ny and I rented a Porsche Panamera 2018 the guy wanted $650 of deposit and I rented it for 10 days I’m on my 5 day and I pay $140 a day but yes every luxury fast cars or super car will require a deposit but if you get a a Toyota or Honda no deposit needed
Turo is way cheaper than regular car rental , so the amount weighs out the cons because for the same you would be paying 300+ more at a regular car rental place.
Turo is no cheaper than the average rental car company. They have comparable rates per day depending on the type of car you want. The only advantage Turo gives you is a wider selection of vehicles and the possibility of getting a daily rate as low as $27. Typical rental car companies don’t go any lower than $36 per day.
Pick up car at car rental center in DFW. Avoid the airport toll. Dallas car rates are very high. Rental center sucks usually has long lines. Turo is way to go.
I'm from dallas and you 100% don't have to take tolls to get ANYWHERE in the dfw metroplex lol next time use your maps and change the settings to No Tolls and that'll save you money next time lol
idk if you mention it, but if you reschedule your rental they will do a separate full charge rather than the difference. say for example you schedule march 25 to April 25th and its 300 dollars, then you find out your car has to be in the shop for much less time, so you reschedule for the duration being through April 10th. you would not get the difference back, they would do a full separate charge for say 150 and they would take (3 to five days) refund your original 300. Lousy system, especially paired with an android app interface that makes the scheduling portion unecessarily difficult in favor of a "modern" interface. My first time using them a 189 dollar rental ended up pending on my account as 700 dollars because I had to reschedule because their interface twice. terrible service dont recommend
I think it would be nice if the people who post their cars for rent would include all those things missing from the car OR list what’s included in the car and not included
I did my hard research just recently and for most areas it is not really profitable. What is happening is that there is so much competition - the smaller fleets and owners of one or two cars are lowering their price/day just to GET BY and pay their loan and other expenses. They do not care about profit at this time. So there is a price war to the downside. This in turn is causing the larger fleets to do the same... in fact, a lot of mid-large fleet owners are SELLING their fleet to bring in income and to get out of the business!! According to the numbers of my local area - owners of 6 - 9 vehicles are only doing about $80 per month/vehicle @ average of 4 days rented ... to $118 / month / vehicle @ average of 6 days rented on the lower end. On the higher end; $509/month per vehicle @ avg of 4 days rented ... to $763/month per vehicle @ avg of 6 days rented. Remember, those are GROSS figures not NET - you still need to include cost of maintenance, gas, cleaning, repairs, insurance, parking, etc., which is about 67.5% of GROSS. Now, do the math...
One thing that happened to me was I was charged in full BEFORE a trip that I booked 5 months in advance. It was for the full amount for a 3 week rental. So I cancelled. Booking through Auto Slash /Priceline the total bill was only $50.00 more and I did not have to pay thousands in advance. Beware
I looked up for this video to get a better understandig about Turo, if he wouldn't have said Turo I would have thought he was talking about Zipcar lol With Zipcar you have 8 dollars membership fee, tools can be added to you trip even two months after you had rented the car, 180 miles limit (really?). What I've seen good about Turo is that you can rent budget cars, not like Zipcar where you have between a Honda Civic and a Mercedes-Benz GLE! I'm going to try it now that I'm moving out of NYC, if works that would be ideal! Thanks!
PUT ON WAZE AND BLOCK GOING THROUGH TOLLS IN THE SETTINGS. GREAT ADVICE SOMEONE GAVE ME IN NEW JERSEY AFTER SPENDING $150 IN TOLLS BETWEEN NEW YORK & JERSEY WHILE ON VACATION. YES, THE DRIVE WILL BE SLIGHTLY LONGER BUT A SAVE IN $$$
Thanks very detailed video. Can you rent with a debit card? Under 25 here. I never step foot inside a car without my phone mount magnet... it's so sturdy and small I actually forgot it once in a rental, you just take your phone and leave while the poor thing remains on the vent... I ordered a new one while waiting to get my old one shipped back to me, and when I did Amazon let me keep the new one I bought and refunded my money so now I have a spare..
No one has mentioned that AAA and I’m sure many other insurance agencies will not cover their insured , when renting with Turo. Just found out for a trip I’m taking next week. And Turo’s insurance prices are stupid extortion expensive. Like $1500 a month is what it can come up to if averaged out.
We don't need Turo to rent cars out, just use renters' personal insurance, they will cover your car much better and you get 100% of the money. Good luck getting your car fixed by Turo if a major accident happens. My Daughters Tesla has been in the shop since September 2020 and Turo is trying to find ways not to pay for it while I still have to pay $700 a month
This is not a bad business. There are a lot of other equipment rental businesses to get into as well. However, I think the goal should be to start your own business and not work with Turo long-term as they take a big cut and their prices are low.
Would you suggest, say getting multiple pieces of equipment in different areas and renting them out for passive income? If so, how would you keep up with damages and stuff when it does eventually come about ? I’m 20
almost 3k miles on my saturn vue n still runs strong shifts great yes i still have it n still running. because i keep up with maitence and take care it unlike whoever had the one in the vudeo clearly didnt take care of it is why its running like crap
ive got a regal tourx which feels as fast as a WRX and is as big as A mid size SUV. its summer time so its 3rd gen firebird driving time imma try a summer time turo thing.
Hi. Do you have to pay insurance or is it included? Maybe depends on the vehicle owner? I might consider using turo if it's less of a hair for where I'm going. Thx
I’m bout to get a car in Turo but im so confused on how the car owners are making any money by having a cars this cheap on the app 20-40$ a day is a insane im happy
Everything he’s talking bout is on him the app lets you filter out everything for a car he chose. I got a 2016 car with no protection and Bluetooth for $600 a whole month with 1500 miles to drive in Houston
Don't use Advantage Rent A Car in Orlando. They charged me $850 for a chip in the windshield that was already there. I wish there was an agency that would investigate them. I notified the BBB and they have over 30 complaints in the past year that all went unanswered. They also have an F rating. BEWARE
Im about to be 25 in October and Ive been getting into cars this year. I really wanna learn to drive a manual so I was thinking of renting a car from turo for my birthday weekend just to practice driving a manual sports car AKA something I probably wont be able to afford for another year or 2 to actually own. So with that being said, would it be a good idea to rent a manual Miata from turo?
I’m about to rent with them so wondering about this. It’s the fees where they get you, so figure an extra 20% surprise bullshit. fee🧐🤪. At least they tell u upfront
@@sliccjay5923 i said the same thing but this is it An auto insurance score (AIS) assigns a level of insurance risk to each individual. In other words, it tells us how likely it is that you’ll file a claim. Turo considers AIS when evaluating new guests in the US and Canada. Doing so helps us keep our platform safe and affordable for everyone. We receive AIS from the credit reporting agency TransUnion. TransUnion uses some elements of your credit report to come up with your AIS, which is not the same as a credit score. You can learn more about AIS.
If you’re complaining about aux/dongle or Bluetooth for audio, you should probably grab your own. Because unlike huge rental enterprises do you really think they will supply you with all that for $50 a day? 😂 plus the hidden fees is nothing when you are a young driver, you are still paying less than any known rental services. Plus young drivers are more prone to accidents compared to an older experience driver and some don’t really drive with care. Can’t speak for the grannies and grandpies though 👀.
Hi there! I hope this comment finds you well and that you see it lol. When you picked your vehicle up did they check your DL? I booked my turbo car and with my luck I lost my wallet which has my DL but I have a temporary sheet stating I have one coming
the under 25 years old insurance fee is because you are filming while driving
Lmao
LMFAO
what a good one!
The camera is in front of him and his eyes are on the road

I second this. 3rd video is a charm. Too many you tubers making videos for entertainment, not information purposes
VERY VERY TRUE
Good points especially for people looking to use this app for the first time
First time using Turo app and you gave me everything I needed to be ok with this

Very well explained. You are amazing explaining while driving at probably 70-80 miles in the freeway. Awesome driver and teacher.

I don’t know why but I’m getting a parker vehicle virgins vibe from this guy
Turo won’t respect my prepaid debit card.
They use Chime

Turo has some issues like ..the car you rented never shows up, or the car has mechanical issues that are not covered.
Great tips!! I'm going on a trip soon and will be using Turo....thanks!
Thank you man planning my trip will take this into consideration while budgeting
I hope you didn’t rent from Turo! I just got scammed last week. It was my first time and last. I’m disputing it. They got me bad.

When picking up the car do you meet the owner or does the owner drop car off at location and you pick up from establishment or business?
Don't forget the cleaning fee. Turo owner's like to make a little extra when you leave any evidence of having touched the car!
Did you used your own car insurance or turo’s insurance?
I realize it's 3 years later, but here in Canada, your own insurance should be enough to cover it.

this is why they charge more for young drivers because care more about audio and navigation than driving to their destination.
