      Previous turo host….. NOT WORTH IT….. Turo takes quite a bit of the proceeds and let’s not talk about the renters and the headaches involved… it all depends on the vehicles you’re renting and the market/ location you’re located in. Everyone doesn’t have the option of opening your own rental company and the funds it takes to open and maintain that.

    I think in order for Toro to work your car has to be paid off and then you can collect it as side income. Extra income is cool then because I had a paid off car that I put on the platform and I was cool with getting $30 a day. $40 a day because the car paid for itself pay for its own maintenance which was very little so it just depends on the situation but the car needs to be paid off in full. That's the first step

    Did this as well… until 2 cars were totaled and the 3rd got wrapped up in a criminal operation of robberies and has the VIN tagged by multiple police departments… so can’t drive that car at all. Yeah I’m good now. Made money, but the stress and ridiculous drivers turned this upside down for smaller operations.

    You're close on the insurance in my experience. Just to be able to do Uber/grub hub meant commercial coverage. Cost went from $2200 a year to $6000 a year. They didn't care if owned or financed. But the loan company cares and says that if they find you're doing anything commercial, they'll repo the car. You only find this out if you ask them or when your car disappears.

    Since its inception in 2013 as RelayRides, Turo has indeed engaged in a race to the bottom. The concept revolves around not investing in expensive cars for rental purposes and avoiding excessive fees to Turo.
    Similarly, in Uber, maximizing profits in the business involves driving the most economical car for the highest fuel efficiency, aiding in profit generation and expense write-offs.
    After spending 11 hours on Turo, I'm willing to invest more if the car prices align with my budget. Thanks to Andy's advice, I've been negotiating with dealers since 2022 without rushing to buy unless the price meets my requirements.

If a business pays sales tax when the motor vehicle is title a rental car license is NOT Required

    The biggest issue with EV rentals is how they are rented. Hertz has done a terrible job in my opinion. Recommend: Rent EV's with a full charge. This would allow most renters to drive without needing to recharge. 2. Review the EV with the consumer, making sure they understand it's functions on a base level including charging options if needed.
    Currently, consumers are being told where to find the car, no different than when renting a gas powered vehicle. You can't assume people know how to operate and charge a vehicle they have never driven before.

    I will gladly pay Turo 10% to handle everything including customers that damage vehicles or when they get stolen etc. Insurance would be a lot more if I did it myself.
    Sounds like you weren't very lucky with Turo and blame the platform.

    I would have no problem opening a rental car business in the 80s, 90s and maybe 2000s. After that peoples' driving skills got worse and worse as they rely more and more on these aids like Blind Spot Monitoring. Like are you driving a Kenworth 18 speed hauling a 53' trailer? What do you need BSM for on a 15 foot long car? You just turn your head, there's no blind spot. These people nowadays can't drive a car to save their lives. Rental car business nowadays has to be full of so many losses. People are complete and total idiots. You see them, they be stopping on a yield and yielding on a stop. They eat red lights like it's just a suggestion. You got too many broads in a hurry to pickup their pumpkin spiced latte in the Nissan Altima wit the fuzzy steering wheel cover while putting on makeup.

    Stop it with the "Challenger" nonsense. I work at a dealership, Challenger drivers are not the problem.

      Rent out a challenger then say that. 7 trips in we had a scat pack into a guard rail at 120+ miles an hour.

    Sort of bad advice for getting started. Not everyone has a second car to get started and renting out your only car isn’t a good idea at all.
