Turo claims to have over 5 million registered users, plus more than 350,000 cars listed on their site spanning over 850 different makes and models. In a recent interview, Turo’s VP of Government Relations Michelle Peacock stated the company’s mission was “to put the world’s more than 1 billion cars to better use by allowing car owners to share their otherwise idle asset and offset the high cost of car ownership.” The average cost to own a vehicle in 2018 jumped almost $400 from last year to $8,849.

Rather, they are a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace, and according to their website, “way better than a rental car.” That is, they provide a service for people to list their personal car for rent. Horrible horrible experience completely ruined my plans.What started in 2009 known as RelayRides, Turo insists that they are not a car rental company. Turo asked me to upload a selfie and my license and that’s exactly what I did as a part of the booking process. He proceeded to tell me I didn’t follow instructions when I did…he never explained that he immediately needed a selfie of me holding my drivers license otherwise he would cancel. As i’m on the way and have time Angelo messages me and says he cancelled and to contact customer service. I jump into the cab that I spent $60 on to pick up the car. I was in the process of working and getting ready. Then the host asked that I upload a selfie even though I already did. After booking the $500 first J had to go back and forth with the host and customer service because the car was in a different neighborhood.

in Bayonne NJ because he had a white 2017 Range rover. I needed a last minute car after returning from a trip and finding out my car was still in the shop.
