I have to say, there is some truth and what you're saying but I have the cheapest Turo in my city I'm getting very little complaints. But I also work super hard to make sure my people are happy.
Previous turo host….. NOT WORTH IT….. Turo takes quite a bit of the proceeds and let’s not talk about the renters and the headaches involved… it all depends on the vehicles you’re renting and the market/ location you’re located in. Everyone doesn’t have the option of opening your own rental company and the funds it takes to open and maintain that.
Just wanted to let you know, your advice, collectively across all your videos, has actually taken my game to the next level, appreciate what you do Lucky
I think in order for Toro to work your car has to be paid off and then you can collect it as side income. Extra income is cool then because I had a paid off car that I put on the platform and I was cool with getting $30 a day. $40 a day because the car paid for itself pay for its own maintenance which was very little so it just depends on the situation but the car needs to be paid off in full. That's the first step
Did this as well… until 2 cars were totaled and the 3rd got wrapped up in a criminal operation of robberies and has the VIN tagged by multiple police departments… so can’t drive that car at all. Yeah I’m good now. Made money, but the stress and ridiculous drivers turned this upside down for smaller operations.
You're close on the insurance in my experience. Just to be able to do Uber/grub hub meant commercial coverage. Cost went from $2200 a year to $6000 a year. They didn't care if owned or financed. But the loan company cares and says that if they find you're doing anything commercial, they'll repo the car. You only find this out if you ask them or when your car disappears.
I’ve never gave in these ridiculous low prices that my competitors offer and I still manage to do well in Turo with my now fleet of 3 cars this a business not a charity … I just work the algorithm of Turo and has not let me down since day 1 , thanks for the straight up info ! IF YOU PAID OVER STICKER OR over 95 %LOAN TO VALUE YOURE ALREADY BEHIND
🎉🎉🎉 Hey 👋🏼 Lucky I’m so glad that I have already done my over 36 years in business for myself. These days it just seems impossible to start any business during these ugly times.

I own six running vehicles, and have thought about ways to make money on them. But, I don't think too many people want to drive my 1990 Crown Victoria, and I don't think I'd like the idea of someone wrecking it, either. Guess my fleet will just keep costing me money....
I’m in MO and Yes the State does offer a Rental/Lease License. It is Required NO. The license from the State Means when a motor vehicle is titled via a rental vehicle license the Business charges the customer sales tax each time it is rented. If a business pays sales tax when the motor vehicle is title a rental car license is NOT Required
Thinking about starting my own business. Not using turo. In the process of googling trends and searching for cash cars. I’m excited to have my LLC and getting a commercial policy going. Looking for economical cars first then going luxury later in life
Since its inception in 2013 as RelayRides, Turo has indeed engaged in a race to the bottom. The concept revolves around not investing in expensive cars for rental purposes and avoiding excessive fees to Turo. Similarly, in Uber, maximizing profits in the business involves driving the most economical car for the highest fuel efficiency, aiding in profit generation and expense write-offs. After spending 11 hours on Turo, I'm willing to invest more if the car prices align with my budget. Thanks to Andy's advice, I've been negotiating with dealers since 2022 without rushing to buy unless the price meets my requirements.
Sold my cars in Miami after 6 cars totaled in 1 month!!! Insane!!! People are wild these days!!! Cant rent nothing!!! Always damages claims out of pocket repairs closed insurances lost investments!!! Lost tens of thousands 😢 no more rentals!! We need high class people! For low life animals nothing!!!
Let the drivers be attached to your car's to avoid such and pay them from the monthly earnings of the car... Less damage less drama less tracking but drivers need to be known to their homes with viable guarantors.
Insurance is a scam and always has been. Other than taxes its the second biggest scam in the world. Pay all this money for something that if you try to use it they wont let you.
I made too much to get the lovely "stimulus" for the first 2 rounds. Got Round 3 on something of a technicality (legally - had income but it wasn't taxable). I put it in the market. Took a few years but now my accounts are fat and happy. Don't understand the people that uuuuhhhhh..... hissed it away, but with a fat P.
Just from renting cars a few times a year, I can see it'd be a pain in the tush for the average Joe. Maintenance and cleaning, insurance coverage and claims, renters who abuse the vehicle accidents and theft. Remember the old Excedrin headache number commercials? Well, this could be a another one.
Thanks Lucky. I am researching the possibility of renting cars outright. Rental car Insurance companies seem to be a challenge so far. I am interested in long term rentals or leases by the month.
Ah the good ol government. Make everything so difficult that theres no point on starting. Insurance is a scam. Its a monthly subscription to drive your own vehicle. Registration, annual subscription. Tax, a 2nd annual subscription. Gas taxes, a weekly subscription.
The biggest issue with EV rentals is how they are rented. Hertz has done a terrible job in my opinion. Recommend: Rent EV's with a full charge. This would allow most renters to drive without needing to recharge. 2. Review the EV with the consumer, making sure they understand it's functions on a base level including charging options if needed. Currently, consumers are being told where to find the car, no different than when renting a gas powered vehicle. You can't assume people know how to operate and charge a vehicle they have never driven before.
Thanks for all the great content. I'm subscribed. I'm on the west side of Florida. What is your opinion on getting an LLC for Turo. I have 2 vehicles on the platform and plan on getting another 3. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
@@MustyGrapes yeah so I’ll go ahead and pay $5,000 a month on exotic cars.. & as soon as once is rekt and decide to file a claim now I’m dropped 😂😂🤦🏿♂️ at this point I think it’s better to self insure if u gonna end up getting dropped & probably can’t get insurance from other company’s as well once they find out h were dropped
Hey, So I don't understand, if I get Private Renter Insurance to cover me, and I make a Claim it will skyrocket or I'll be dropped. Then why not do Turo whereas I don't worry about the Insurance. (I'm thinking of starting and doing research 1st). Thanks
I would have no problem opening a rental car business in the 80s, 90s and maybe 2000s. After that peoples' driving skills got worse and worse as they rely more and more on these aids like Blind Spot Monitoring. Like are you driving a Kenworth 18 speed hauling a 53' trailer? What do you need BSM for on a 15 foot long car? You just turn your head, there's no blind spot. These people nowadays can't drive a car to save their lives. Rental car business nowadays has to be full of so many losses. People are complete and total idiots. You see them, they be stopping on a yield and yielding on a stop. They eat red lights like it's just a suggestion. You got too many broads in a hurry to pickup their pumpkin spiced latte in the Nissan Altima wit the fuzzy steering wheel cover while putting on makeup.
The backup camera is gold when you do parallel parking. Then I rather easily can fit my car inside a parking space 3ft longer than the car. Earlier I usually relied on the mirror image in the windows along the street.
@@justcommenting224 I don't mind the backup camera and automatic high beams, those things should have been installed on all cars 30 years ago. It's the other ridiculous stuff that makes you question, if I need these things to operate a motor vehicle, should I be trying to operate one in the first place. Like the feature where the seat and/or steering wheel vibrates to let you know you're veering off the road or out of the lane. Like really? Does everyone drive sleepy now?
I have 34 cars on Turo and they do an excellent job. I have repeat business from long time customers that makes up 40% of my business and half of my customers Rent for 1 week or longer with 6 renting by the month and 3 that have had the vehicles over a year. I will gladly pay Turo 10% to handle everything including customers that damage vehicles or when they get stolen etc. Insurance would be a lot more if I did it myself. Sounds like you weren't very lucky with Turo and blame the platform.
They want to charge me $25,000 Per vehicle Since 'm 18 and just starting out.... That's for the lowest insurance. I'm currently scouting prices but if I cannot find anything better I don't know what I'm gonna do. Any suggestions? I'm in Toronto Ontario
Is no one going to talk about how you do not want to file a claim on your insurance or else they will drop you? Then what’s the point? Isn’t that the equivalent to not having insurance?

If big corporate rental places like Hertz keep going bankrupt that tells you a lot about the rental car business.
