I think a great video would be describing your top 3 or 5 cars in your fleet, the daily rate, airport drop off or not, unlimited milage or not, etc. and how much each bring every month. Keep up the great work
Although I agree, remember that in a world of social media it's all about the initial "hook". As you understand, all about algorithms and getting people interested. In a market of saturation if you you're not being "deceptive" then you might not even get out there. What's most important is the content within the video and the explanation/disclosures given. It's easy to say something without being in the other persons shoes, lets be fair.
Respectfully, I feel your thumbnail is very misleading. I’m a fan and I even purchased your course on how to start a Turo business. You definitely inspired me to start my fleet and I’m glad I did. That said, I don’t think it’s cool or necessary to mislead people when it comes to the facts. No doubt you can bring in $1000 a month with a 2011 Ford focus, but that’s definitely not profit. Once you factor in the insurance, maintenance, cleaning, depreciation, etc, you’re probably in the range of $750 profit (give or take). I get it, $1000 profit sounds sexier and makes a better thumbnail, but you lose credibility when being deceptive.
Was purchasing her class worth it? It’s really expensive. Do you feel like you got your moneys worth out of it? Or is it just information you can find for free on UA-cam ?
@@raymckigney2118 your right she talks about her fleet but I have yet to see a video where she shows all her vehicles🧐 all the other turo UA-camrs actually show theirs at one point or another
I really appreciate your transparency, as this is helpful for us new and just getting started as host. How many cars did you start with, how are your bookings, and what profit range is more realistic to expect?
I have watched a ton of videos on TURO and I can honestly that this is one the best I’ve seen. It was honest, informative, and really supplies a roadmap to success. I love the fact that affordability was a constant theme. She proved that you can do extremely well with good choices and that you don’t have to go broke in the process. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Recently leased a 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan for 18 month at $760 a month. 7500 miles per year but over mileage fee is only $0.20 per mile. Cars have been booked 6 days for $350~370 a day so far in April. My next target is Audi E-Tron GT. There is lots of great lease deals recently.. such as Infiniti qx80 for $400 a month or Porsche Macan for 520 a month.. I would make about same profit with one car versus 3~4 economy cars..
Literally the smartest woman on the planet that Chrysler vs honda minivan comment restored my faith in people that actually do research. Also you had me at r8, I was just talking about buying one for my first super car fleet vehicle. Great great video🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Interestingly, the Maserati Ghibli V6 is a turbo charged Chrysler (FCA) Pentastar engine (made by Ferrari). As with all used vehicles, especially exotics, keep in mind that while you may have bought a used Maserati Ghibli for only $30,000, the parts cost is for a $100, 000 car. In this case you can save some money on parts as many of the parts from the US engine are the same as the Ferrari built engine, however keep in mind the Pentastar is not normally turbo charged and this has resulted in premature timing chain failure (the timing chains are the same with both engines), which in this case can be as early as 60,000 miles depending on the maintenance level (you would think anyone that would buy a $100,000 car would change the oil regularity, but unfortunately on 1/3 of new car owners probably maintain their cars regardless of the price).
You always say to buy around $10,000 below. I have been researching car prices for a few months now. First started when I was looking to buy my own car for other business use, which I then decided to buy brand new. Anyways, a car under $10,000 is a high mileage (+100,000 miles ). Does this mean you are suggesting buying a used high mile car? In my opinion and experience. Any car over 100,000 miles will begin to experience mechanical issues. This is why I decided to buy new because I did not want to risk buying a used bad car nor dealing with the stress of repairs. Can you please clarify prices and mileage in another video. Pleases share your experiences with high mileage cars?
*I've had a 2009 Focus 5-speed since 2010 and it's a rock-solid car with MTX75 transmission being practically everlasting - 2011 is the same car with some revisions - the one downside is windshield gets foggy in a couple of areas as the blower orientation is not optimal* *Past timeprint **9:20** though you show 2012+ model/s which you recommend against (I don't like them either)*
I am in Central U.S, & so far the only insuramce company that I've found that allows Turo shared drivers on the policy is Liberty Mutual. I started Turo 3 days ago, got a policy with Liberty Mutual, & have my first booking for 3 days on day 2!! Keep in mind that If you do not tell the insurance Co that you're using your vehicle for shared driving, they can deny a claim in case of an accident. This is NEVER a good thing, esp. for major accidents (heaven forbid!). So, I believe it's wise to be upfront with an insurance Co & ask if they allow Turo drivers. At least you'll know to look elsewhere if they don't. And you'll be covered with the policy the right way. I wish everyone all of the best with Turo!!
@Tee-wd6jq what do you do if your insurance company drops you after an accident? How high will your premiums be with that on your record? Minor things I can see, but if it's totaled, or there are injuries, or other property damage, your insurance company is going to find out. Do business legitimately people. Stop trying to cut all these corners . Lol
Just like you made an updated list of Turo cars can you make an updated list of turo friendly insurance companies? Not to be confused with the Turo protection plan but the actual insurance on the vehicle? What you've used and what you think has worked best for you.
There is no such thing as a friendly tour insurance company because your cars are not covert under your insurance. They're only covered with turo when the guest is driving the vehicle. No insurance company unless it is commercial will cover tour of cars. Because you don't have to file a claim with your insurance company. You only follow claim with toro that's important that you understand that. Now by law you have to have insurance on your car so if you were to get pulled over by the police that's different but you don't do. Any kind of follow the claim or anything like that again sure insurance companies only against turo.

Confused, you said to buy a 2011 Ford Focus now while still within the 12 year old criteria for Turo, but won't you not be able to use it next year? or is it that they have to be within 12 years just when you start using them, then they are in your fleet for however long they last?
ugh on the Hyundai ...I mean I love them but the recalls! I wanted to put my 2014 Hyundai Azera Limited on the platform but couldn't due to a recall (engine can catch fire so they say don't park in your garage) and to which there is no solution. Thank you for the great info!! I love your channel!!
I had exact year, pretty car, though not as pretty as your flowing hair, ha..ha! I ran into odd repairs on my hyundai azera same year, later sold her to President trump!
I have been hearing really bad feedback on Turo. Several people on UA-cam have left Turo because of horrible customer service and very bad protection. Do you have any videos on those subjects?
Hi! thank you so much for all the quality content you're providing. Im getting ready to buy a car and I live in Phoenix, the Carculator feature on the Turo site says that Fiat 500's are the best care to list in Phoenix. How reliable is this insight in your opinion?
Thanks for the informative vid. Important question: where do you store your fleet (generally speaking, not address)? I live in an area where land is expensive so getting some random lot won't be cheap.
You said that the Ford focus 2011 won’t qualify for TURO after 2023. But you also said that you have a Ford focus 2007. How come this one e still qualify for TURO. I am confused.
Hey. Great video. Can you list what specific cars you do own? I’ve been thinking to purchase 2019 Ford Focus Hybrid, but you are 3rd person who are talking about transmission issues, so now - I have doubts
Thanks for the video Aubrey. Regarding the 2011 Ford Focus, I know you say they're much better than the 2012s and newer but how do they compare to your Toyotas and Hondas? It's all relative but I would think even the 2011 Fords don't compare. The joke has been that Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. I wonder if that's true here. Thanks!
Given the fact that current used car market price is outrageously ridiculous. A relatively reliable American made is probably a better alternative. A 10 year old Toyota Corolla or Yaris in my area - Toronto, will be around 10K CAD. I mean a decent one without historical accident and can pass safety. Focus probably half that price.
Thank you for sharing! I absolutely appreciate your thoughts and feedback on car selection for TURO. I am looking to become a host on TURO with a 2019 Honda Accord. Your thoughts?
great video, I am new to your channel. I have been doing turo for a 6 months now with 2 Toyota Siennas that i purchased for a good price. I am also currently leasing a brand new 2023 toyota highlander. i want to try your business model with buying more affordable vehicles but i put on debt and put down most of my capital for the other cars. Do you have any advise how to finance more vehicles with a currently mid to low 600's credit score?
Love It. I am returning to Oklahoma from Philippines, will look at financing 1 for personal use after my Turo lease of 30 days then financing 2 or 3 more end of December to find massive discounts because these companies want to hit end of year quotes...question do you notice the leasing slow down Jan,Feb and March?
That'd be so dope if you experimented with The Audi or Beamer.... LoL Thanks for this list, I needed that... You definitely giving me some direction as to what to look into to start a fleet. You ran down your whole fleet... Sheeeessshhh... You're a car dealership I see LOL
where do you keep all these cars? Im interested but live in an apartment and only have 2 parking spots. Can I hide them in local hotel lots and just move them around so they dont get suspicious? lol
ford focuses are genuinely so underrated, they are incredible cars. I would say they are as reliable as toyota camrys. I as a car dealer have bought so many of them, none ever had bad engines or transmissions (im talking models 2011 and down, facelift is just terrible. 08-11 is the sweet spot, with 06 and down having to choose between a terrible engine and a really reliable one, so youd have to know what youre looking at). only major issues are struts going bad, valve cover gaskets, Motor mounts(they are really bad for those), thermostat, and wheel bearings. I would buy 50 more in a heartbeat. ive sold 2 of them to some friends and they are still running strong. Also Mazda 2s are based on the ford fiesta platform which might be why they are less reliable, fiestas are not nearly as reliable as focuses. Hell, they use the same ford focus platform (engine and transmission) in the ford transit connect and those are fantastic too
High perceived value.. the I8 is still expensive used at 60,000 and a convertible is at 80,000 o buy the way the Audi R8 is 90,000 used HERE IS A RULE OF THUMB THE LESS YOU SEE OFF A CAR THE MORE IT COST MOST LIKELY
I have good and reliable toyotas (too many) and I would like to rent them out. None of them qualify for Turo. What would you recommend if I wanted to rent out my 5 Gen 3 Prius and 2 toyota sienna vans (2004 & 2008). All paid for.
Hey so if I buy a 2011 ford focus right now and list it this week, come December 31, 2023 will I not be able to rent it on turo anymore if it’s already on there? Or will because it’s already on there will it be able to keep renting?

U can put a lease car on Turo??
Where did you find those lease prices brother, how much down, allowed miles etc. Thanks man
Seems very risky to lease any car to put on Turo. By the time you have to turn in the leased vehicle, I can guarantee you are way over on the mileage.

I’l stick to Toyota/ Lexus, Honda/ Acura and Nissan/ Infiniti if I become a turo host one day
Ford Focus 2009-2011 they have most money in my fleet , mechanic friendly cars during sometime they stayed out .

how do you get everything insured and covered, do yoou have a dealer license / wholesale license or everything individually owned

Hyrecar
I'd be willing to buy one from you.
Note to self. "Do not buy a Kia Rio". Aubrey has spoken.
The 2018 Rio s are the ones I’m looking at.
I wish you would have told us how much profit these cars are making you so we know the actual numbers...
Do you have an idea on daily averages per your fleet cars?
Hey Aubrey! Why did you sell the Maserati after only 6 months?
What is the headache with the Audi and BMW you mentioned in the luxury car category?
Expensive to fix when it breaks
How are you renting an 07 in 2023?
Turo came out in 2017.
Darn, I have a 2014 hatchback ford focus, that i want to start with
Aren't kia Hyundai same
Have you had any Sensor issues with the Hyundais?
Where the hell are you going to find a Mazda 2 for $5000? They are not even close to that price in my area.
So why did the Maserati leave your fleet?
what are the top 5 cars in los angeles?
The cars are too old for Turo
I have a question, so if I have 2011 ford, in 2024 I’ll be able to keep using it on toro? It’s grandfathered in?
Grandfathered in
No one knows actuals until car is finalized sold etc.
Where are you purchasing these cars for those prices
Whats wrong with the kia rio?
What about vans?
Thaaaaaaaaanks
why would you buy a car that is no longer going to be accepted??
I wouldn't rent out nice expensive cars. People will destroy the interiors. Toyota, Honda and Hyundai are the best.
Hey so if I buy a 2011 ford focus right now and list it this week, come December 31, 2023 will I not be able to rent it on turo anymore if it’s already on there? Or will because it’s already on there will it be able to keep renting?
If it's rented before that date, it can stay, but it no renters, or if you wait to list after, it won't qualify
