The way she came out casually, got some stuff, lied, and was like, that's it. Still forgot her keys, and no apologies, just shows the type of person she is for real. No home training at all. Her home must be a mess as well. 😅
Yeah, like it's so inconsiderate to both Alex and the friend. I would be so apologetic and embarrassed and make sure I collected everything from the car, especially when Alex said he didn't mind waiting for her to do multiple trips.
I just started Turo a month ago and it's going super well. I don't think I'd ever list a car that cost over $10k on it though. I bought a 2013 Honda Fit and list it for $40 a day and it hasn't had a day off yet. And I actually look forward to smokers, super easy to clean out and I can charge $150 everytime lol
hey alex, a lot of uber eats drivers will provide something small like wet wipes with a little note “rate me 5 stars!” to ‘farm’ ratings. i’ve heard this technique really does work. i think you might be able to make this work for turo too, maybe you could purchase some cheapy sunglasses in bulk and give a free pair of sunglasses with a small tag that says “please remember to rate me!”. im trying to think of other good driving accessories that could work besides sunglasses. maybe a small keychain? whatever you choose, def buy in bulk online to minimize the cost (idk why im telling you this, you’re the numbers guy hahah)
I hope you have a separate insurance policy! Your personal policy excludes using your vehicle as a livery service, and if they do anything illegal or have a wreck, you can be held liable. Talk to an attorney if you're doing stuff like this to make sure you're ok. 😢❤
Man you’re too nice leaving chargers and stuff in there for the guests. Glad you’re not doing it anymore but I’m sorry you had to find out the hard way
I had one woman who ran a fleet of cars on turo. She messaged me after my drop off politely to leave her a 5 star review due to that reason. She had a family to feed so I understood. Honestly, I was going to give her 5 stars anyways because it doesn’t hurt not to lol she was an amazing host as well so why not? I washed the car and cleaned the interior better than I got it and filled it up- that’s how great she was!
i dont know why i enjoy this content but I find myself watching the videos. I think its the narration you have a good voice for this, I think you should attempt to do voiceover for videos or maybe even try doing a book on tape, it could not be fiction I dont think you could play multiple characters but I think a non fiction read is definitely possible. Considering you seem willing to try anything it could be worth a try.
Jeez dude Im finally caught up. Last thing I remember was you buying a house and your first Tesla. That whole story with the roommates is actually crazy and now this? Gotta respect the hustle
Regarding the no rating equals a bad rating on Turo, perhaps try strategies to encourage them to rate you, such as asking them both verbally when they rent and perhaps a card placed in the car thanking them for choosing to rent with you and a request to leave a rating at conclusion of the rental, and maybe let them know that a no rating is a bad rating. For myself, I probably wouldn't bother leaving a rating, if I didn't know it had a negative consequence for someone. I'm glad you did the right thing, and got the keys back to the renter. These days, it seems that a lot of people would have choose not to be nice.
I am really enjoying these Turo videos, I watched a lot back when Emerald Scales was still running and loved the unboxing videos, but these turo videos and your newer content has really pulled me back into being a regular viewer. The new channel direction slaps.
Aww man I'm sorry to hear that! I think that you should make the renters sign an agreement sheet that says they will return the car clean and if they don't there will be a fee. I don't know if Turo would allow that, but it sure would save you some greif. Keep up the great work Alex, I love your videos and I'm subscribed! 😊
I'm a Turo renter. I always clean the inside of car, sometimes even the outside... (especially if it covered in bugs...) I also gather up anything like cables, tissues, stuff the hosts leaves, and put them in a compartment so I don't forget them.... Sorry about your bad experience.
This is frankly surprising… I guess some people simply aren’t raised right. One should treat other’s property the same or better than you would yours. It’s one thing to stiff a rental company but given that Turo’s primarily peer to peer… Imo, on the very least, one should refuel/recharge and carefully wash the vehicle. Hell I’ve even replaced a tyre because it was new and I scratched the sidewall with a curb avoiding a reckless driver.
I see you are in NC also. I was at Tidal Wave Auto Spa and noticed you can purchase unlimited annual car wash passes there. Might be good if you have frequent renters. I would just use the basic wash package. Plus they have the vacums to use no extra charge.
I don’t wanna sound nit-picky, I love your videos. But please consider cleaning that steering wheel 🤣 (Don’t worry, mine was just as bad). It shouldn’t be so glossy like that. That’s dead skin and other dirt interacting with the leather. It takes a lot of elbow grease to make it like new again, so again, don’t take this the wrong way 🙂
I pretty much use Turo every time I travel since it was first launched and I return the vehicle the exact same way I keep my car, immaculately. I cannot understand how people rent these cars and treat them with such disrespect.
Wish EV Base had things for Vauxhall (or I think its called Opel in the US). I have a 2024 Mokka E GS and would love to get some cosmetic upgrades for it.
@ Oh well, you need to update your Tesla to save on USB’s (you could probably move or have an auto electrician move the port to the glovebox, even just an extension cable and put a false panel in front of the one in the console)
This is what I figure every Turo booking would go like with any vehicle I had 😂 Bravo for making an extra $37 for your car getting fouled to the max I guess
@GoHerping do you buy cars just to Turo them or are these personal cars you listed on Turo after the fact? I could conceivably do the former but the latter for me would be terrifying. I have a low opinion of the general public so no amount of money would make me ok with renting a personal car I had justifiable to me.
Hey brother! I’ve been watching your content for a while now and at this point I can honestly say…CHANGE YOUR UA-cam NAME TO YOUR NAME You remind me of Sneako when he was younger, more open, and introspective. Your content has evolved from herping, reviews, and how tos to your genuine life experiences. The good, the bad, and the ugly. No hype. No performance. Just you. Keep this story telling format, change the channel name, buy a gimbal, and watch your views start climbing again
Not being able to have do not disturb on while sleeping… I feel that, ha. You can’t even truly rest even if no notifications come through - well, I can’t. Forever anticipating them ruins it 😂
it would be cool if it worked like a "regular" dashcam, or if you could maybe customize how it works exactly. but for the far majority of incidents, it does work well to just save what you want in realtime
Never buy the Tesla flash drive. It’s terrible. Just buy a Samsung one. Make it clear too that the glovebox is going to be inaccessible and put a password on it
i use samsung in my personal tesla, but went with the branded one to make it more obvious it's part of the car. it's pretty recent that tesla moved the USB slot to the glovebox, older models like this one only have them in the center console
As a airbinb owner for 8 years. You dont have much options as an owner/renter. You dont have a lot of options. A 1 Star review is devastating. Reviews are everything. This is the cost of doing business with a depreciating asset.
Sue her for what? He's got no evidence that she took the harddrive, just that somebody did, it could have been any of the guests Her only other "crimes" would be oversleeping and leaving her things in the car, and not charging the car. Neither of those are things you can sue over. If Alex really cared about the things being left behind he could have insisted that she removed them all before he took the car back, but he chose to be chill about it. The charging issue happens frequently with EVs on Turo and Turo has an established system for compensating the owners.
People aren't renting your car because it's safe and affordable and quick there's many cars that fit that description and it's not owned by a racist Elon! People are renting your Tesla because it's a status car! And it's look at me I'm in a Tesla!
Communication is key. If a guest does someone like this id blacklist them from ever renting my vehicle again.
luckily rating a guest 3 stars or fewer automatically blacklists them from future trips
The way she came out casually, got some stuff, lied, and was like, that's it. Still forgot her keys, and no apologies, just shows the type of person she is for real. No home training at all. Her home must be a mess as well. 😅

oop
At least the turo guests pay

niceeee. that sounds like a great car for it. and if you ever decide to make vids, you could potentially double dip the revenue lol
Why are people so gross?

I thought you would've held her keys ransom until she returned the flash drive.
i didn't mention in the video, but i didn't notice the missing hard drive til a few days later :/
I hope you have a separate insurance policy! Your personal policy excludes using your vehicle as a livery service, and if they do anything illegal or have a wreck, you can be held liable. Talk to an attorney if you're doing stuff like this to make sure you're ok. 😢❤

what about the dash cam stolen?!?!?!? if all turo renters are like this no one would make money being so kind

I don’t feel quite so bad about leaving a little dirt on the floormats of the last Turo I rented anymore, condolences
Alex get off the floor man you can’t keep getting done dirty like this 😂😂
Congrats on the sponsorship! Your a big inspiration to me
Yay another Herpvideo! 🎉
Hey bro, I absolutely love your videos. You are a good human. Love ya bro
thanks!
I could recommend you plasti-dip spray those wheels so you can easily repair them when they inevitably get curbed.
they also make tapes as a cheaper alternative
Plasti-dip will peel and look ugly

Color me surprised.
I would always charge a cleaning fee if it was not clean and on top of it, you probably get charged that woman for destroying property
Ya no….you need to raise that rental price and be a little more selective at this point. A dollar tip
canceling on guests eill get you banned from turo, we have to fulfill all trip requests
@@GoHerpingThat would be a deal breaker for me. No one is going to tell me who I lend my private property to.
@@georgewashington3012 It ceases to be "private" property when its engaged in commercial activity. This is why commercial insurance is required.
well you aren't legally obligated to hand it over. but they aren't obligated to keep you on the platform, so it is what it is
I don’t know why I enjoy your videos so much. I think it’s because you seem to be on an adventure in them.
thanks :D i certainly get bored easily so maybe that helps me keep things a bit more interesting

Well well well
Wish EV Base had things for Vauxhall (or I think its called Opel in the US). I have a 2024 Mokka E GS and would love to get some cosmetic upgrades for it.
People have asked me why I never rented my C63 on Turo. This... this is why.
Typical.
Oh no the Tesla! Yay more content!
Humans are indeed interesting.
my carbon fiber warped after a summer. I end up getting an entire replacement one. Good luck with yours
Set your glovebox to pin to unlock to keep that USB safe
the dashcam USB is in the center console in the original model 3 :/ though this would definitely work on the refresh
@ Oh well, you need to update your Tesla to save on USB’s (you could probably move or have an auto electrician move the port to the glovebox, even just an extension cable and put a false panel in front of the one in the console)
ony takes a small group of people to ruin it for everyone else.
This is what I figure every Turo booking would go like with any vehicle I had 😂
Bravo for making an extra $37 for your car getting fouled to the max I guess
most are fine, but you certainly have to expect the worst. it's not totalled yet tho!

He has this one car just for Turo. He has his own Tesla and one other car that he doesn't rent out.
@ScubaSteveM45 he didn't buy this car for turo. Watch the roommate series for the full story on where the car came from

I can’t wait for Teslas to have a “follow” feature so you can drive your Tesla to the turo Tesla and have your personal car follow you home
6:41 nice shot of all the teslas 👀 😁
Definitely not worth it when you can start your own business doing just about anything for little to nothing and make $1000 or more a day.
Not being able to have do not disturb on while sleeping… I feel that, ha. You can’t even truly rest even if no notifications come through - well, I can’t. Forever anticipating them ruins it 😂
Lmao your patience with all the crap you deal with is wild
lmao her keys would be mine now
Great and Relevant Plug!
👍🤩💝I appreciate your patience.
😞😫Some renters are just plain disgusting.
Check the alerts on the car, it will tell you when the USB HD went missing.
i just do not know how people curb wheels it is so easy not to lol
Just another normal behavior in Murica land.
These Tesla disaster videos seem to be a great content generator! 30k views in 12 hours
When I saw the bonnet on her head. I knew.
I’m suprised Tesla doesn’t have it record the last let’s say day or two at minimum of driving then overwrite it
it would be cool if it worked like a "regular" dashcam, or if you could maybe customize how it works exactly. but for the far majority of incidents, it does work well to just save what you want in realtime

You HAVE to try on those punk/goth boots though
the comments on this video are very interesting and telling…
Will you ever try Lyft?
Wow, I'm very early to this one😂😂 sucks to see how bad they treated your car. Your video was very entertaining as always.
WELL WELL WELLLLLLLL
Lock the glovebox
the dashcam USB is in the center console in the original model 3 :/ though this would definitely work on the refresh
@GoHerping you thinking about getting one?
@GoHerping I remember seeing that part and was like "dang"
Woah they fixed the splinterfuel
by workinh 16hrs a month he'll have tesla for free
5:55 HOLY SHIT YOU LISTEN TO GEOXOR!!! LOL I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
Go HERPS 😂
Woahhh oh no !
oh no!
How do I become a member? I was a member on my other account but now I don’t have that option!
Hmm, yeah that tracks.
Whut was the song you were dancing to? Is it geoxor or kotori?
yeee. SVRGE and geoxor's collab. but i love kotori as well
People are so grosss 😭 Love the channel btw💗
Usual suspect
Goated dad tbh
But good lord some of these comments 💀
I want those shoes but i live in hk so its cost more to ship them even if i convinced you to sell them to me😅
Apex N.C. here 💪
is this the one who also racked up all those charging fees? Or was it someone else
You can make the glove compartment require a code to open
the USB drive is located in the center console for older model 3s

Bro rents in gotham 😭
Sigh hopefully the next person will treat the car kindly 😢
great anyone who breaks in the car just needs to take the usb stick 🙃
doesn't the car have internal storage?
How is this not staged? He literally just makes bad decision after bad decision and continues this bad luck 🤣
How much are you willing to sell this Tesla.?
typical
You should add your youtube name on the back of your car for potential new viewer

oh i see. i didnt know u had conversations with my guests
Are you crazy
I successfully predicted what the renter would look like before being shown in the video. Stereotypes are very true.
Based
They exist for a reason. They aren’t accurate all the time, but…
Was he a monkey?
@georgewashington3012 yeah, stereotypical of these people...
It's true. It's either weed, damage, or they just don't follow any rules. Then are mad when charged. Not all, but a good majority.
get off turo
Woah
Why would anyone drive a Tesla clown car ?
