Turo Experience

[Lambocar]

Some time ago I have made first experience with Turo. For me it was the absolutely worst car rental experience ever had. When I compare the usage of a regular car rental company I have learned now that the rental from Turo requires lots of experience in order to avoid lots of hidden traps.

An example is that the car I`ve got should have been more or less "new". What I`ve got was something close to be a nightmare.: dirty strange noise, made me feeling not to be driveable.

My failure was that I`ve taken over this car!
For sure I will never return to Turo again.
Be careful with Turo, guys!

Welcome in the forum @Lambocar and thanks for this short report abou your experience with Turo. In general the idea is good to offer a car sharing marketplace. But obviously Turo should much better control who offers which car to others. Clear there are always a few show stoppers existing in such a business. But I think it can be avoided by regular unannounced control and probably penalties. My opinion only.

I`ve used Turo once and was quite happy. No reason to complain. The car was ok as promised by the renter. No surprises in pricing or other things. I would book again from Turo when I`ll have a need.

What about the host? Do you @Lambocar have more information? How many ratings did they have?

This host had 4.4 stars based on 9 reviews. The number of car he has I`m not aware.

I don`t think that the rating is too important as easily can be seen at the experience of @Lambocar. Ratings can be faked. I prefer in general to rent my car from the normal car rental companies. Then I know what I get.

You`re doing right @Highway. What do you want to claim from whom when a rented car is privately owned? Think it might become very difficult.

Think that you can claim in the first instance from Turo directly.

Turo is an excellent platform to get and try exactly that model I would like to have. Usually the ratings from customers are excellent support to select the provider of a car. Great and proven opportunity for all who are looking for alternatives to usual car rental companies.

It's very interesting to learn here something about Turo. As non US citizen I wasn't yet aware about Turo. If the review system applied reflects reality there is a low risk to get surprised about bad serviced cars or other negative issues. Would appreciate to read more here about Turo.
