Your car will be listed under your host’s account. All hosts admitted to the program are among the top-performing hosts on Turo, so they have well-established Turo profiles and understand ways to maximize vehicle revenue.

If your car was previously listed on Turo under your personal account, Turo will help you delete your vehicle from your account so your host can list it.

Please note that none of the reviews your car earned previously will carry over to your host’s account, so it will be like your car is starting with a blank slate.

If you want to use your car after it’s been listed by your host, we recommend connecting with your host and, if your car isn’t already booked for a trip, asking them to block off the days you’d like to use it.

In this case, you’ll be responsible for picking up and dropping off your car during your personal trip.

Please note that if your car has upcoming booked trips, you should allow those trips to finish first.
