Turo operates in the peer-to-peer car sharing market, allowing private car owners to rent out their vehicles to others. Car owners can list their vehicles on Turo’s platform, where they set their own rental prices and availability. Renters can browse these listings, select a vehicle that meets their needs, and book it for a specific time. Turo facilitates the transaction by providing insurance coverage and customer support, ensuring a smooth experience for both car owners and renters. The company earns revenue by taking a percentage of the rental fee, which aligns its interests with those of its users. Turo stands out from competitors by offering a diverse range of vehicles, including everyday cars, luxury, and specialty options. The goal of Turo is to provide a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional car rental services, leveraging the sharing economy to connect car owners with renters.
