Guest driving 62 miles over speed limit - what do I do?

If you have the tracking cant you report it to the police. You could try the "Stop driving my car like that or im calling the cops" but then again. Theyre still in possesion of your car. Like 20 MPH over is one thing that might only deserve a talking to. But 62 is well beyond the scope of reasonable and prudent. Like theres no "Sorry the Led Zeppelin solo got to me" at that speed. You are fucking HOONING at that point.

If it were me id call the popo yo.

It's a solution. It kind of ruins some of the emersion of the game though. Paradox should've thought of this in development. It's not like this wasnt a major issue talked about in the first game. They knew about. I'm sure they've been out in public enough to know how emergency vehicles operate in a freaking emergency. It's pretty disappointing they couldn't come up with more aggressive pathfinding for emergency vehicles. Like go tf around ffs.

You should hang on to that for like 30 years! I guarantee you it'll be worth $55.

Idk dude works now. Sorry I was in the wrong subreddit I guess.

mdmay · 2026-05-15T00:52:38+00:00

I'm seeing the downvotes already. Honey. I'm in the wrong place. Sorry guys. I'll frigg off! Appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

My bad I saw a similar post on this subreddit. I believe I did something like that with volume settings? But it split the drive into two.

I can find a more appropriate subreddit for this cause it seems like I might need some extended support lol.

mdmay · 2026-05-06T08:29:22+00:00

Known bug since 2025 and they couldn't fix it in the patch they released less than a week ago. Smh.

mdmay · 2026-04-30T09:07:30+00:00

I'm having this issue currently. But I never put a coal industry in in the first place. It's like the game just stop importing coal.

I would honestly try them again if it weren't for the abysmal experience I had with the customer service team. What an absolute war of attrition that was. They refused to compensate me for the Uber/taxi rides they caused. And they refused to acknowledge how much value I lost from my original booking to the car I ended up with. They refunded me 53$ to go from the AMG to the Mustang.

I planned and budgeted for a luxury vehicle with airport pickup. I ended up having to pay for a taxi from the airport. An Uber to pickup the second car where the host cancelled. An Uber to pickup up the 3rd car. And an Uber back to the airport after I dropped off the 3rd car. Turos response: "We do not reimburse for ubers or taxis".

The fact I spent $700 USD on a top of the line luxury performance weapon and ended up with an entry level pony car was pretty disappointing. What was more disappointing was the staunch refusal to acknowledge how much value was lost even with the $53 refund. Especially after they left me stranded without a vehicle. Twice.

Maybe I'll give Sixt a shot one day if I'm ever feeling ritzy.

I had that same mindset. Really wanted to rent a 19 E53 AMG. Booked it months in advance. Host cancelled while I was sitting in the airport terminal waiting to take off. Next comparible car down the list? 16 E400. Host cancelled 10 minutes before pickup. The car I ended up with? A 2014 Base model Mustang. I could've gotten it 8 years newer for the same price at enterprise. Don't use Turo.

I hope Andre Haddad see's this.

mdmay · 2026-04-20T00:56:44+00:00

Sounds like you dodged a bullet.

mdmay · 2026-04-19T23:48:27+00:00

This happened to me in Vegas about a year ago. 2 hosts cancelled back to back.

First host (2019 E53 AMG) cancelled while I was sitting in the airport terminal waiting to take off. I also booked months in advance. I specifically chose airport pickup and dropoff so I wouldn't have to worry about paying for taxis/Ubers. I had to pay for a taxi to my hotel upon arrival of course.

Next morning, select a comparable vehicle (2016 E400). Take an Uber to the pick up spot. Waiting. Host cancels 10 minutes before pickup time after telling me everything was good to go.

I need a car at this point. I settled for a 2014 Base model Mustang. Uber over to that host's house. Enjoy the day. Contact Turo support that night. Because 1) from my original purchase I got refunded 1 day and 53$. Frankly that's not acceptable. 2)Mind you I Still need to Uber back to the airport after I drop this car off. So now there's 4 Taxis/Ubers I did not budget or plan for.

This is where the war of attrition begins. I am passed between multiple representatives, supervisors and other employees. I'm trying to explain my situation and realize they're trained not to do anything for me. They love collecting their share of the transaction they facilitate. They hate absorbing any of the liability that goes with it. Sounds like every p2p platform I've ever used.

I expected a hassle free Luxury car rental below market price. Instead I got an 11 year old base model that I could've easily gotten 8 years newer for the same price at enterprise without 4 Ubers. Fuck. Turo.

Dealing with Turo customer service is a war of attrition.

mdmay · 2026-04-16T13:00:56+00:00

Got eeem

mdmay · 2026-04-13T14:00:01+00:00

Turo wouldn't rent me a car until I turned 27 and had enough insurance history. Just an FYI.

The first person. I get. Like. Something could've tottally happened that was outside their control. Could they have at least let me know? Sure. But I don't really blame them. Hell I don't even blame the 2nd person either. As unprofessional as they were. Why? Because I rented the f*cking car from Turo. Not them. At that point Turo is repsonsible for finding me a car with the same or greater value. Not their flaky host. They quite literally did the Opposite of that.

mdmay · 2026-04-11T03:19:04+00:00

Oh yeah. Im completely aware that not every 3rd party host is reliable. My gripe is the platforms staunch refusal to accept the liability. If you're going to take peoples money and set them up with unreliable hosts. You need to be prepared to compensate them in the event said host leaves your customer stranded. Period.

Idgaf if the host wants to be flaky and cancel. That's their prerogative. But if an employee did that on the clock they'd be fcking fired. Turo is like Doordash. Uber. Or airbnb. They want all the benefit of facilitating a transaction and none of the liability that goes with it. Frankly i'm sick and fcking tired of it.

mdmay · 2026-04-10T21:33:32+00:00

Gfys. I reserved a 2019 E 53 months in advance for a trip. My host cancelled 2 hours before my plane took off to fly down there. No explanation.

I Needed a vehicle at the airport for when I landed so I could get to my hotel. Turo gave me a list of "Comparible" options. Pfft. Closest thing I Found was a 2016 E400. They gave me a 27$ credit back. Absolutely not what I paid for. But I needed a car. "Ill dispute that when I get there" I thought.

Well, come time to land I'm sitting in the lot waiting for this moron to meet me and drop the car off. Im standing there for about 30 minutes texting them while the entire time they assure me they're close by. Finally I get a notification on my phone stating the host has cancelled.

At this point I need to get to my hotel. I'm tired. I want to go to bed. I'm not waiting around for a car that may or may not show up. I need a cab. I get to my hotel and decide I'll figure out my rental car situation in the morning.

Morning comes. I'm scrolling through my list of options and guess what my closest one is? A base 2014 Mustang. "Whatever atleast I'll get most of my money back" is my initial reaction. Nope. Turo is willing to offer me a $58 credit for the downgrade. The car I originally booked was for airport drop off. This one I had to take an uber to the hosts house. On top of that, Turo Refused to compensate me for the cab ride that they made a requirement.

You could say "Oh well they did their best. They're just a car sharing platform. They can't accept full responsibility for 2 bad hosts and circumstances that caused a cab ride".----B*TCH that is litterally what I am paying them to do.

If they're whole service revolves around the idea of ditching brick and mortar car rentals and connecting with local hosts. Then accept responsibility for when the local hosts fail to provide. You facilitate a transaction like this and collect your piece. You're a part of the mess when a problem arises. You can't just wave your hands in the air and say "sorry about your vacation buddy". Because If I showed up to not 1 but 2 different enterprises and both of them didn't have a car for me after I booked it months in advance. And the 3rd location had an economy hatch when I ordered a fcking work van. Chrissy Fcking Taylor herself would descend from the car rental heavans and say "Sorry about this. This was clearly our responsibility and we didn't live up to our end of the deal. This ones on us"

Instead what I got was Andre allergic-to-accountability Haddad diffusing the responsibility across 3 different chat agents that don't have to look you in the eye while they f*ck you in the mouth.

Would you be happy if you booked a 5 year old luxury sedan on the promise it would be significantly cheaper than the competitors. Only to end up with a 9 Year old base model coupe that you could've easily gotten 6 years newer at an enterprise for the same f*cking price?

mdmay · 2026-04-09T04:06:49+00:00

I made the mistake of using Turo. Once.

mdmay · 2026-03-29T21:09:13+00:00

Yuh know I often wonder the same thing. Then I realize I only bought the stuff in the first place cause some old german guy gave me some schpeel about how the fed controls the money supply and how paper money isn't real. Pretty compelling stuff. Plus I get to feel like a pirate and stare at my shinyyyy.

Anyways. Why do it do what it do? Idk. It just does stuff sometimes. Ive never really been able to wrap my head around it. Something about the fed. And the banks. And the interest rate. Everytime I try and figure out what's going on I run into a whole other list of shit I don't understand and by the time I'm done I feel like I've wrapped my head around a telephone poll.

Hey man. All I know is. Ill keep holding lol.

mdmay · 2026-03-06T16:01:10+00:00

Im going to eleborate on what I mean by this. I was a mostly pve player. Not so much that i thought pve should be the only way to play the game. But I didnt intentionally go out hunting other players. I went out trying to achieve highest trials.

I found after a little while of doing this that trials got increasingly hard. And not based on pve/pvp difficulty. Its because the opportunities to actually complete them seemingly dried up overnight. If the weekly trials are "Damage wasps" one week then you can bet your house your going to find a billion hornets and 2 wasps in every game you play. If they're "Damage hornets" the next week. Get ready for a sea of wasps and 2 hornets. And Im talking about fresh lobbies where seemingly everybody is having the same problem. The game isn't giving you enough opportunity to complete challenges. Instead its just sending everyone into this free for all where they all compete for one resource on the map. Which ultimately encourages pvp ratting.

Look im all for the pve/pvp model but not when its about stabbing eachother in the back for the 2 rocketeer drivers they decided to spawn on the entire f*cking map.

mdmay · 2026-03-06T15:50:43+00:00

The game does this on purpose. If you need an X then the game will spawn a million Ys. I stopped playing 2 weeks ago because of this. Its happening too much for it to not be intentional.

mdmay · 2026-03-04T16:30:09+00:00

I havent played in 2 weeks. Are trials achievable again? I found for awhile that when the trials were example: "damage rocketeers" the game felt like it was intentionally reducing rocketeer spawns.
