About Turo
Turo, with the slogan “Skip the rental car counter”, positions itself as a car rental service built for convenience. By eliminating the hassle of traditional rental procedures, Turo allows users to book directly online—simply choose the location, dates, and rental time.
Drive to any destination, for any occasion, in any type of car, including convertibles.
You can find Turo on Facebook, Instagram, and even TikTok.
Turo defines itself not as a traditional car rental service, but as the world’s largest car sharing platform.
Every car listed on Turo is owned by entrepreneurs who build their own car-sharing businesses, rather than by the company itself. Through Turo, these hosts can take control of their futures, using the platform to grow and scale their businesses to meet personal and financial goals.
At its core, Turo’s mission is to put 1.5 billion cars on the road to better use.
How to Pick Up and Drop Off on Turo?
When you book a car on Turo, your host will give you pickup and drop-off instructions. You will check in and out through the Turo app, where you can also chat with your host if you need help.
To confirm your identity, upload your driver’s license in the app or show it directly to your host.
Turo provides several ways to pick up and return your car:
-
In person: Meet your host at the agreed location and receive the keys.
-
With a lockbox: Your host sends you a lockbox code, and you use it to unlock the box and collect the key.
-
With an app: Your host unlocks the car remotely using the manufacturer’s app, allowing you to access the vehicle without meeting face-to-face.
Returning the car follows the same process. Simply use the pickup method arranged with your host for drop-off.
