I started a turo business in 2023 and have benefited greatly from Aubrey's many videos on the topic. Some particular advice/lessons that have been most helpful are: 1) Make every effort to never turn down a rental . i am using my newly purchased(March) used Honda so this often involves inconvenience but has been well worth it. I have 6 total trips but a majority of these have been extended and thus have been more lucrative. Also knowing your clientele and making every effort to make things easy for them leads to great reviews and repeat business.
I have three locations with a built in user base. Local area Fort Worth only. Turo gets the fees so I would not advertise the vehicles online.
So you were able to cover a few months loan payments and turn a small profit?
Thank you so much for all of the amazing information!!! I’m fighting breast cancer and my current personal car lease is up in July. I’ve been mostly unable to work since last August and am highly considering starting a small Turo business while I’m going through treatment. Your videos are so informative & helpful!
The Bitcoin man strikes again. this is a journey to bankruptcy,nothing more. Turo is a total scam!
I’ve never hosted anything on Turo but I can tell this is great advice. Appreciate the help
Hey Aubrey! Great video I have subscribed. I haven’t gotten started yet but I am doing my research. Do you have a video on the types of cars that I should look into? New or used? Etc. thanks
Here in Florida I set up an LLC in 1 hour remotely for my kitchen business will use for Turo also, I am not computer savvy.
Thank you so much, I’m just starting out, I’m buying 3 cars cash, and you answered so many questions I had!
Awesome video :) you must be from Texas because I noticed you kept saying “whenever” instead of “when” 😝
You are such a good speaker... you speak fast and clearly... love that you are all business.
I feel like every other trip at this point costs me double what the revenue was for the trip at this point. Every time I get the vehicle back with some kind of damage that I am paying out of pocket to fix.
Growing to 5 cars in the 1st year is quite aggressive; but definitely agree with starting the 2nd car ASAP. Only having 1 car on Turo is never going to be worth the time spent vs return. Once the 2nd car is established, 3rd car won't be too hard... But great advice ON not having more than 2 cars financed at the same time, most people don't understand if they over-leveraged and if they get banned, they are heading to bankruptcy. Overall, very useful advice! Thanks! Happily subscribed
May be funny to say but honestly, I shoved all UA-camrs for you to get started. My aim is to get 5 - 4 by close of 2023. Am at No. 1 and still believe I will get there.
Love the video😊 but What about insurance 😅 please make video about insurance and should do commercial loan or personal loan?
Thanks for this content and for being real about your experience in the beginning it helps alot of who wanna start avoid those financial issues and trust me 😮 I been left behind half way with stuff like you experienced I know the feeling😬 thank you have a blessed day!
Congratulations girl.
29 isn't bad. Yes, the time can't be made up but you will still live well if you keep investing.
Also
Retirement isn't what it's made out to be. I just retired a couple months ago @ age 52. Yes... it's nice to sleep in and be a lazy sloth but after 2 months, it's not for me. This is how I came to watch you. Turo is something I will do. I will also get into RV rental too and Airbnb. I will see which one I like the most and run with it
Good Luck to you and I am happy to see a smart young lady like you are married. Don't forget to invest more time with your family over any business.
If I had a glass of wine in my hand, I'd say, "Here's to your success and your future "
"I'm playing catchup now that I'm 29." Wow. You're still just a baby. You're going to be just fine. It's rare to find someone who thinks about retirement until they're in their 40s!
With her energy and smarts she'll have the option to retire in her 40s. Maybe she's pissed she missed the opportunity to do that in 30s!!
She looks good, but older than 29. I think she's pushing it aliitle with the 29 part. sachysamo fools
@@Reverend-Race-Horsey She strikes me as someone with thick skin, which is good, because she literally stated that she's 29 in the video. Did you not see the quotation marks in the above post?
@@super8mate Someone would have to be damn lucky in life to retire in their 30s after having only worked 10 years in the adult world.
Thanks for this one as well... Appreciate your work in teaching us what to do...
Do you get to a certain mileage then sell the car to maintain a newer fleet? Almost every car is a depreciating asset so buying cheap must be key. If I buy a car for 20k, Turo it for a year, but sell it for 10k, did I even turn a profit? Love the videos! Cheers
There is zero chance your car will depreciate a further 50% from when you buy it in 1 year.
set up plenty of llc... keep them generic. ie. holdings or enterpises. theyre not too expensive and that helps with establishing biz credit, etc! if you hate car sharing, next
Whenever you say the word “whenever” in the video (which was a lot), you should have just said “when”. E.g. “Whenever I started my Turo business in 2017” means you tried to start it many times in 2017, versus “when I started my Turo business in 2017” means you started it just once…
I thought it was just me! I tried to pay attention to her actual advice, but this error is too distracting. "Whenever" means "each time" or "every time".
The best video I watched in youtube so far!! Thank you for sharing :)
A brilliant tutorial, as usual.
Hi. I’ll buy a Tesla model y for turo 2022 or 2023 year. How you think about this idea? 😊
Nice to see common sense applied to business
Awesome video...Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! Well done on your Turo success Queen :)
I tend to think that cheap and economical cars are more liability prone to serious shady or abusive renters.
I think she's right on economy cars. Most of those renters are likely looking for an A to B car to take care of something that came up. I'd be more worried about listing a nicer / faster car on the market. I know if I rented a Corvette, first thing I would do is test the 0 to 100 time. In a Chevy Cruze, not so much 😊
@@republicandan I'd do it in a Cruze too. Hell I do it in my 12 sec Mirage 🕒
I think its so cute that you are worried about investing at 29, its smart. I started young too, most people dont.
Do you have an episode on insurance for fleet car? And taxes?
Great educational video! Thank you!
Love the new studio thanks 😊
Hey Aubrey! Thanks for all that you share. Quick question: if we have the cash & found a good deal on a 2nd car to add to our fleet, would you recommend waiting until the LLC is established or go ahead and buy it while it’s a good deal?
Thanks for the information! After binging on several of your videos Monday, I changed my host settings as you suggested yesterday.
You see, I was offering free delivery to our local airport which would have been fine except my availability is limited as I work a full time job. My wife would help pick me up or drop me off so I can pick up the car but she’s a full time student AND full time teacher!
I have an llc already as I actually am diversifying from an RV rental business and adding the Turo car.
I am still concerned about getting bookings in my small town with no delivery options but my car will save me lots of commute money if it doesn’t rent so I still win. Thanks again!
HIii! I love ur vid!!! I wanted to start a car rental business but I found there are more than 15 hosts in 1miles around...does that mean the market is saturated?... I'm super worried about financing a car but no one is booking it....
Hi, thank you for all your videos. Can please tell the insurance company you use for your fleet. Thank you again
Thank you so much for a wonderful video and sharing all the knowledge you gleaned over the years. I just subscribe to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your videos. I think you explain everything wonderfully thank you again.
Where do you park all your cars? How do you rent out your cars remotely? I’m in Miami and I’ve been thinking and watching videos about this for a very long time but I haven’t done it yet. Your videos are definitely motivating me to give it a shot
I'm wondering about the remote access too. Like Zipcar you can remotely access the car so is there a solution for personal vehicles too. Having to be around to hand over a key and collect keys makes it harder as a side hustle.
When I was in Denver and rented a car through Turo, the host had the key locked in a lock box that was sitting on top of one of the tires. The code was sent to me shortly before my rental started. I kept the lockbox in the car during the rental and then the key was placed in the lockbox when finished. Seems like it could be a practical way to do it.
Hi Aubrey thanks for this great video , could you share which insurance company do you use or recommend please , Thanks !!!
very informative. Could you share how much time you have to spend on this business when started (1st year) and now with 30 cars. Would it consume all of your time 24x7? How do you manage it when you go on vacation? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for that value information
super helpful thank you
Fantastic videos thanks so much. Great insight!
Hey I'm sorry for asking this question that I should have been able to find on Google. But i couldn't.
How much rust can a vehicle have if you want to rent it on Turo? In Canada vehicle has to be less than 12 years old, less than 200,000 km and pass our local legal laws to make it safe on roads. But when I look for most affordable cars that meet those requirements, a lot of them have rust. So I'm wondering how much rust is acceptable?
Super helpful. Thank you!
Informative video. I agree.
Thank you for your videos! you have mentioned that you use carSync analytics for research. Unfortunately they no longer offer Turo platform.
Can you offer any other tool to research? I am trying to find a good City where I can start a Turo business. Thanks
Thank for the great video!! A quick question, if I put my personal car in Turo, do I have to also keep my personal insurance, or would it be enough to only keep the insurance that Turo offer? Also is the insurance that Turo offer good enough? Thanks.
Very good. Awesome video
Hello,can I use my car to host in Turo with the temporary license plate? I just bought my car trough the dealership.
👍🏽 Agree wit rent personal 🚗 & get a beater & "penny wise, pound foolish" lessons. 5 cars n a year, easy 2 rent wit no parameters may not be feasible while working a full time job, 7-3, M-F 🙃
It's like you need to make a deal with your boss to work odd hours for a few months while you rent cheap and bag 5 star reviews then add parameters. Idk
Best insurance for Turo? Full coverage? How much should I buy an economy car for? Under 10k?
I wish there is a channel that explains the BAD about Turo. I'm sure there are ton of expenses associated with it. What's the avg net profit for every dollar earned? I heard profit could be as low as 35 cents p dollar earned....
While first starting up to see if this hustle works for you , what should I do with my current personal insurance carrier
Not sure I'd agree with your point about pricing. This will ultimately lead to a race to the bottom with no winners...
Hi Aubrey,
I have a fully paid off 2016 car. Instead of trading it in to buy a new car which may get me 7-8k, i was thinking to rent it out on Turo.
However, I do not stay near the airport and but in a proper residential location. I cannot deliver so how would i get customers? Do they have to come to my home and if so how will they comnute till my home? Should i choose a closest parking place like a grocery store to be anonymous? I am very confused how to begin.
I have always rented on Turo myself when i am going out of State. So not being close to airport haunts me to start this and not able to imagine what other demographic of customers are looking to rent.
Also, how much does Turo take away and do I have to buy insurance as a host as well?
Is it possible to give my car ro someone that can run this for me for a cut and the car will be mine? Are there middle players in this side hustle that maintain fleet of cars like you and wouldnt mind another car coming into their fleet?
Any tips/advise will be great !
I got burned with my first car from missing notifications in the middle of the night for bookings. It didn't help that my 9-5 also didn't allow for the most flexible schedule. How do you deal with notifications in the middle of the night ?
wow.. this was good.. thank you
its been my experience, that if want to start turo, just don't we lost all money from crash on the first rental.
Did you not have insurance? Or did your insurance reject you due to using turo without changing insurance?
Great advice
Hello
I'm New to turo and i would like to rent a car.
Who pays for the insurance during the rental?
Me or the person who owns the vehicle?
what is a dollar amount in profits to strive for each month? I'm looking to finance a car and Idk if it makes sense to get a car if it only makes me an extra $200 a month. interest is high and so is my car insurance bc I'm 20. what should I do?
I’d say aim for at least 100% ROI on your monthly payments. If your payments are $300 a month aim for at least $300 profit .
Do the math with realistic, if not conservative, financials. Your car payment and repairs are just one side of the coin. Don't forget depreciation and tax asset/liability. And after you run your numbers, determine if it would be worth your time and allocation of resources to move forward.
Damn.. im about to be 40 and just now starting turo and no retirement... am i doomed from the start? 😬
Having a hard time figuring out how to insure a personal car that can be listed on the platform. I have not found an insurance company that allows this aside from switching over to commercial insurance which then doesn’t allow you to use the car for personal use.
You're in the states? Cars in Canada are so much more expensive than US. I can't wrap my head around how people can own a dozen or more vehicles?
How has the recent loss of CarSync changed your business?
In regards to the ford. If you buy a 2011 prior to december does that mean it will still be able to used in 2024?
Good stuff, how do I obtain your master plan video
I have the money and credit to go get a lambo as my first car but what do you think? should I get that as my first car to rent or no? why or why not? please if you see this let me know because I really need the advice and help right now because I want to start my rental company and expand on it quick but don't know where to start.
You talked as if 29 was 39 in referring to your early 20s. Everyone is different, but typically at your age If your making 6 figures you should be aggressively diversifying and taking more risks to build wealth quicker so u can live off the interest when your older vs worrying about a couple more bucks in a IRA. Take that money and get into developing real estate multifamily units, leap year stock options and build some real generational wealth. Your probably making more on YT than Turo now..
Was thinking of putting my 2021 corvette stingray on turo...have any thoughts?
What about car insurance can you list 5 vehicles on a normal policy without an llc or do the cars even need insurance since Turo provides it
I'd like to talk with you about setting up a Turo business but you master class link isn't working
Do you have a video on Roa ?
When you had 5-6 cars, where did you keep your cars?
I want to start Turo this year but I do not own a car but on the flip side I have no current payment.. Plus I don't need a car so hoping to start with used cars by saving money (my current as savings are stuck in stocks)..
Thank you so much for your information dear
How to I regeneration my car in Turo business please send me the link
I have an llc for real estate. I’m thinking the llc needs to be different for a Turo business.
For LLC, are you hiring someone for registered agent? I'm confused like for Turo business should we hire some outside services for registered agent
Does turo require insurance personal insurance or I have to get commercial?
What does setting up a Roth IRA have anything to do with starting a Turo business?
Which Toro platform did you use?
Which accounting firm do you use?
Do you have any videos on Turo go?
Are you in CA? Why did you not use a lawyer to do the LLC?
What is your yearly income if I may ask like ballpark?
Thank you very much
You had me until you said set up a Roth IRA. Set up an IUL instead. Tax free withdrawals. Liquidity. No 59 and a half rule. You never lose money in this type of account. No contribution limits. Has a death benefit for your loved ones
Index Universal Life insurance. Only about 6 companies offer these products. Reason why you haven’t heard of it because there are laws that prevent certain advertising of these products and the companies don’t make as much money from them. I happen to have the ability to work with all 6 to help people obtain them
So what ever happened to sears ???
love you, love your channel
Where do you park the cars?
Where do you park so many cars?
Thank you
Who do you use for your roth
Where do you park your cars ?
What's your recommendation on accountant..around Dallas?
Where do you store your fleet?
When you set up the LLC, were you still only renting your personal car or had you added others? Did you transfer your personal car to the LLC at some point?
Moderately unrelated- I have a business (before Turo) and I never put the car under mt biz name, it mainly matters that the insurance covers it properly, commercial auto. My accountant mentioned I don’t stand to benefit from transferring ownership
@@AltoTheGodI’m pretty sure you put it under business name for liability
What are some of the barriers we should remove
Any accountant recommendations for the LA area?
It's been my experience as an entrepreneur that customers who are overly concerned with getting the cheapest price that they can get are not generally desirable customers.
People who are only concerned with price don't see the quality and value in anything.
