I don't think the point of Turo was to be cheaper than traditional rental places. It was more of a place to rent out non-traditional cars that you couldn't normally, or at least that's how it ended up.

I believe she’s sold most of them off by now from her most recent videos as she only keeps them for about 12-14 months. |

I think profitability highly depends on location, just like most businesses. Most successful Turo renters are located in big cities such as New York, Chicago, LA, etc. Here in Austin there doesn't seem to be a high enough demand.

My daily/beater Civic has been on Turo for the past six months with only one bite. Haven’t lost sleep over it.

After I read the thread with the member’s M4 catching on fire during a Turo rental I looked at M’s (and other high end vehicles) on Turo in the Chicagoland area. I didn’t see too many luxury vehicles with many rentals, other than an older Maserati Ghibli. I can see both sides of this “To Turo or Not”. It would be cool to have extra cash to cover an exotic lease, but I don’t think I have the time/desire to hustle my ass off, while working full time, to Turo my 18 M3 w/ 6spd and my 18 X5 M sport w/ 3rd row and it not work out. I would hate to lease a cheap DD to Turo my vehicles and it be a big cluster fuck. It seems like a fleet (a few vehicles) with variety would be the best way to jump in. But I don’t have any friends to test this theory lol.

Update:
My 18 Rio got 4 requests. 3 of them were for the Thanksgiving break which is not representative of normal transactions. Gonna wait it out and see after December. Last edited by aerostar; 11-12-2018 at 08:57 AM.. |
