Turo operates a peer-to-peer car sharing platform that allows private car owners to rent their vehicles to others. Car owners can list their cars, set rental prices, and determine availability, while renters can browse these listings to find a vehicle that meets their needs. Turo facilitates the rental process by providing insurance coverage and customer support, ensuring a smooth experience for both parties. The company earns revenue by taking a percentage of the rental fees, which aligns its interests with those of its users. Turo stands out from competitors by offering a diverse range of vehicles, including everyday cars and luxury options, making it a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional car rental services. The goal of Turo is to connect car owners with renters, enhancing the sharing economy and providing a convenient solution for both sides.
