Fort Myers is a relaxation station
Perched on the Caloosahatchee River where it meets the Gulf of Mexico, Fort Myers is a leisurely, laid-back alternative to the clubby glamor on Florida’s Atlantic coast. Just a stone’s throw from miles of barrier islands lined with marshes and unspoiled beaches, the opportunities to bask in seaside paradise are endless.
Chill out around town, then make your way out to the many wildlife and nature preserves around the city, hit a round of golf, and collect your fair share of beach glass.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
