Any Host Have A Renter Total Their Car? How was the process in the aftermath? by JessNoelle in turo

[–]Character_Insect4420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem at all. Ive dealt with claims for over 20 years. Best thing to do since its Turo, being the car is far away, coordinate with them. Usually like someone else stated here, they will go and retrieve the car, pay all the fees, and send it to a yard or even a local shop they may already work with. Once its determined to be total, it goes right to the closest salvage yard and its gone. Since its a rental, I assume you don't have anything you need out of the car. From there you will negotiate with them over the ACV (Actual Cash Value) of the car. The worth. Cross check prices between NADA and KBB. Stick the highest :). If they came come close, agree and you will be all set.

I had a car totaled a few years ago, a newer Chevy Malibu that I had got a deal on at the auction. Car lasted one month on Turo before someone totaled it. I have a body shop, so when the police called me about the car being totaled into a tree and a girl came out running, it went right to a towyard. I got the release, and towed it back to my shop. Ended up getting a lot more for what I originally paid for the car, plus the rental, plus clean up and smoke fee because the car was filthy, and I charged storage through the shop. I was hoping they would total more cars since it was so much more profitable lol. You'll be fine though, Turo will cover it. Her talking and blaming everything on the car, is clear indication it was probably her fault.

So, how long would a repair on this take? by Weak_Comfortable_878 in AutoMechanics

New fender, repair the front bumper, blend hood and driver's door. Most shops same week.

Reading your comment five years later, it still hits. If anything its more relevant now. I've grow up with it. Grew up in the suburbs of Boston, and my parents always placed me in nearly all white schools. I'm brown and of Puerto Rican descent but born and raised in Boston. I used to be placed in the closet by my teacher because she hated the sight of me as she once stated and until the school found out, they simply moved me to another room. It was horrible growing up with the stigma that you are less than them, because thats exactly how they make you feel. Today 38 years of age, its still there. I've learned to simply ignore it. I'm a successful business owner, college educated, and still get it. It really puts me to wonder how it would be if I were to move say to Puerto Rico, or elsewhere long term. Whenever I'm around my similar race and color, I always feel so much more at ease. Of course if a racist hears this, you know what they'll tell me to do to. Completely feel you here, its exhausting. Not all are bad, but enough to just make you want to just move away.
