No. Unlike traditional rental car companies, Turo is a car rental marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local vehicle owners in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Turo does not own any vehicles — local vehicle owners share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

You can add additional drivers to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip can request to add drivers; hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add any additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in Australia can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers any time via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app.
