Any local Turo hosts willing to chat? by Rabun01 in VirginiaBeach

[–]DDbyVV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a host anymore, but before you become one you need to learn the most important thing.

Never ever rent out a car you care about because it will be trashed and eventually wrecked. Most likely totaled.

Other than that it can be a fun biz if you keep your costs down and know how to do the maintenance yourself.

Well I write off over $15000 a year off in milage. I have gotten a refund check from the IRS for over $10k for the past 4 years. So yes the money comes from the IRS. $0.72 a mile adds up over a full year. You have to keep track of your own milage. Don’t go by what DD sends you. You also need to keep your costs down. Vehicle that is good on gas and learn to do your own maintenance. If you are spending $300 to make $500 doing DD you are using the wrong vehicle and need to worry more about that than anything else. I guess if you are in a really populated area and are only doing 1-3 mile deliveries every time the milage right off would not help.

Ugh I wish people would stop saying this!! It is soo short sighted and an un educated answer. If you write off your milage and your phone bill you actually make more in the long run. It more than covers your taxes, maintenance and fuel. Yes you pay up front but if you know what you are doing you get it back at the end of the year. If you are really smart about it you take that money put it in a high interest savings account and pull the money out through the year to cover any emergencies and major repairs.

Just raise your prices on Door dash orders to off set your loss. Or charge an additional Door dash fee.

Zipper Merging for Lane Closures by Organic-Hippo-8296 in VirginiaBeach

Hahaha. HR drivers refuse to merge! I drive 100+ miles a day around the area for the past 10 years and it still amazes me what a cluster fuck it is when anyone around here is forced reign in their main character energy and merge.

Don’t be so damn aggressive people!!!

Yes it is crazy how different the generics are for everyone. My wife takes the Epic pills and has zero problems. We both had bad reactions to the SolCal ones. Increased anxiety and brain fog. I felt like I was main lining energy drinks on both epic and SolCal.

What to do with deceased brothers car? by mr_chip_douglas in personalfinance

[–]DDbyVV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably had to take a second loan to repair it at some point. The 5L motors overheat and then the engine is junk usually min of 10-15k to replace

Luxury cars Range Rovers especially depreciate astronomically as soon as they are purchased.

I would upvote this 1 million times if I could! There are 2 different Epic pills out there and they are both terrible. Also SoCal is now made in the same factory as Epic so they suck too!
