Turo
Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace that connects vehicle owners with renters across the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and France.
Turo operates the world's largest car sharing marketplace, a platform connecting guests who book vehicles from trusted local hosts rather than traditional rental corporations. The company's marketplace facilitates peer-to-peer vehicle rentals, offering comprehensive insurance and protection plans alongside 24/7 roadside assistance. It positions itself within a car-sharing and transportation sector undergoing significant change, with an addressable industry estimated at over $100 billion.
The platform is available across five countries: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and France. Turo's model enables vehicle owners to act as hosts, offering their cars to a community of guests seeking alternatives to conventional rental services. The company's stated aim is to provide hosts with a means to generate income through their vehicles while giving guests flexibility in choosing their rental.
