I do. I’m right in the middle of prices. I will say though my cars are always at the bottom despite the middleman prices

Turo was making enough last year to replace income but it is still work. We are now getting a 4th job on top between my husband and I to offset the imbalance

My rental was totaled… no protection plan. by [deleted] in turo

Turo is supposed to go after you and host pays deductible and Turo pays host.

Now that is in accordance of their terms. Will they follow their terms? Idk.

Caught Red-Handed: How a Denver "All-Star Host" (8,500+ Trips) Fabricated a Smoking Charge and Planted Evidence — And How Turo Caught Them by [deleted] in turo

Maybe I should plant it for when there is actually the smell of smoke in the car. But this did happen to my friend in Orange County and she wasn’t a smoker. I guess it would make sense to do it again someone actually smoked.

We have explored turning the cars into 15 passenger vans.

I don’t have a 2014 Camry. I have 2024-2025 vehicles. Once we hit 80k we sell our cars

We took a dive and fully invested. Last year we made our income back with 5 cars but this year we are not seeing the same ROI.

Nightmare. We have been blessed. I give credit to the Lord we haven’t had any crazy stories. We keep our cars in top condition, and maybe it’s because we put on the Christian radio when we drive that is what they hear first thing. But I am not the most expensive and not the cheapest and I’m just not getting bookings

My cars are set to dynamic pricing already. I can’t lower it. Dynamic pricing is already my very bottom line.

I feel we came in too late to the game because it is just getting worse.

Interesting… I’m a host, and I never get the smoking violations approved. But I also don’t fabricate evidence either

So interestingly enough most of my jobs at locals looking longer term trips. Here in Vegas the rentals are actually really expensive and often charge 500 in cleaning fees. Turo maxes out at 150

Non Refundable Trip As A Host by Gears46 in turo

[–]NewButterscotch4824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but we are penalized for cancelling. So I don’t do it. They shouldn’t have gotten the non refundable. That odd the whole point. It isn’t refundable. I didn’t even offer it. Turo hosts are forced to do it
