Reinventing the travel journey from trip planning to trip booking.
At Turo, our purpose is to reinvent rental to unlock independence for all. We believe the car should be an icon of freedom, but for too long, the traditional rental industry has burdened travellers with the stress of planning and the frustration of ‘or similar’ surprises. We’re changing the rules of renting to restore that independence—starting with a smarter way to bridge the gap from your first trip idea to the final booking.
Today, we’re bridging the gap between travel inspiration and the open road. We are proud to share that Turo is among the first in the car rental industry to launch an app in ChatGPT —a first-of-its-kind experience that transforms car rental into a personalised conversation for an easier and more seamless way to find the perfect car for your trip.
From Inspiration to Integration
Travel planning is a high-effort process that often starts with a spark of inspiration and ends with a logistical wall. While travellers now use AI to research itineraries and map out routes, the transition to booking a vehicle has historically meant returning to clunky, legacy interfaces and “or similar” guesswork.
The Turo app in ChatGPT delivers intuitive seamlessness by meeting you exactly where you are already planning. By turning the traditional rental process into a dialogue, we offload the mental load of logistics and bridge the gap between a broad idea and a confirmed booking.
- Plan and select in one flow: Turo now integrates directly into your planning flow, allowing you to transition from mapping out an itinerary to identifying the exact vehicle required for your route.
- The conversation becomes a filter: By describing your specific trip requirements—from passenger capacity to specialised gear like roof racks or bike mounts—the AI parses our marketplace of hundreds of thousands of vehicles to find the exact car that fits your needs.
- Eliminate the guesswork: Instead of navigating rigid platforms or settling for unpredictable vehicle swaps, you receive tailored recommendations that match your precise preferences for the journey ahead.
- Bridge the gap to booking: Once the perfect vehicle is surfaced, the ChatGPT integration provides a direct, seamless path to the Turo app or website, where you can finalise your booking on your own terms.
- Reduce the planning hassle: By handling the heavy lifting of demand matching, the integration removes the friction typically associated with traditional car rental, giving you more headspace to focus on the trip itself.
“The launch of the Turo app for ChatGPT represents a major step forward for the car rental industry,” said Turo CEO Andre Haddad. “By combining conversational AI with the depth of our marketplace, we’re reinventing how travellers rent a car by making it easier to discover the right car for their trip while unlocking new demand and earning potential for hosts around the world”

- The Weekend Trailblazer: “I’m planning a camping trip in the Blue Mountains. Find me a rugged 4WD that can handle dirt roads, wet gear, and a full boot of camping gear.”.
- The Life Maximiser:“I’ve got a business meeting in Sydney CBD but I want to roll up in something electric and a bit fancy. What EV options can I pick up near Kings Cross / Potts Point?”.
