Key takeaways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Starting 28 July, vehicle listings and the daily price that guests see will be simplified for smoother bookings
\u2022 The free-form vehicle description and guidelines sections will be removed from listings, since Turo now highlights this info for you
\u2022 Delivery fees will be calculated into the daily price in price breakdowns so guests don\u2019t have extra fees to consider and compare when searching for a car
\u2022 Guests will still be able to reference FAQs, parking info, and other guest instructions in \u201cTrip details\u201d after they\u2019ve made the booking
\u2022 Use scheduled messages to disclose parking fees or additional info, and make your listing shine with competitive prices, great photos, and five-star reviews<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Starting 28 July, the booking process on Turo will be smoother for guests from start to finish. Vehicle listings will be more streamlined and consistent<\/strong>, and delivery fees will be calculated into a single daily price<\/strong> displayed to guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reducing confusion for quicker bookings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, guests have shared that the current experience when searching and browsing cars can sometimes get in the way of actually booking one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vehicle description that\u2019s dense, contains mismatched information, or has extra rules added by the host can create confusion and cause guests to lose trust in Turo. Additionally, overly detailed pricing breakdowns lead to more complexity when comparing rental options, slowing guests down when booking a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simplifying how listings look and how prices are displayed make it easier for guests to go from browsing to booking your car quickly and confidently, and ultimately can help you attract more bookings. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming changes to simplify vehicle listings<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To create more consistency between listings, the free-form vehicle description and guidelines sections will be removed. Your listings will still highlight what guests care about, from vehicle safety features to key Turo rules and other important info. Here\u2019s a rundown of everything that\u2019s changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vehicle features<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Some vehicle features are populated automatically in your listing, and they\u2019ve been reorganised with safety features first, highlighting what guests care about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Important rules for guests<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that guests only see official Turo rules in vehicle listings, we\u2019ll highlight a standardised set of Turo policies that outline what\u2019s expected of them during their trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vehicle tracker disclaimer<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Listings will automatically let guests know that there may be a GPS tracking device in the vehicle to help recover the car in case of theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Post-booking info and guest instructions in \u201cTrip details\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can still include \u201cGuest instructions,” \u201cParking details,\u201d and \u201cFAQs.\u201d Guests will be able to easily reference these in \u201cTrip details\u201d after they\u2019ve booked the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking fees disclosed in scheduled messages<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you require your guests to cover any parking fees, you must let them know in your scheduled messages immediately after they book their trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming changes to simplify pricing displays<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today, guests worldwide see transparent prices upfront, so they always know the total trip price including Turo fees. Starting 28 July, the daily prices that guests see in price breakdowns will include the delivery fee to further focus on what matters to them when they\u2019re comparing cars: the total price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified daily prices in price breakdowns<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The delivery fee will no longer appear as a separate line in price breakdowns. Guests will see a single daily price that factors it in, making it easier for them to compare daily prices between vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFree delivery\u201d tag and delivery fee filter removed from search<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Because delivery fees will be folded into the total daily price, guests will no longer see the \u201cfree delivery\u201d tag or the delivery fee filter in search. Offering free or low-cost delivery will still help boost your search ranking<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to stand out from the crowd and share more info<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to make your vehicle stand out and how you can communicate additional trip info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Price competitively<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pricing tools like monthly discounts and free delivery can help you set competitive prices that stand out in search. Pay attention to calendar alerts for dates when your prices are high, and adjust them to attract more guests. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Let your listing shine with excellent reviews and photos<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The best way to help your listing stand out from the competition and build guest confidence is still to have attractive listing photos and five-star reviews.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Use scheduled messages thoughtfully<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s anything important that isn\u2019t already covered and is within our Terms of Service, please use scheduled messages to share this info with your guests. As always, keep your communication clear, brief, and relevant to help guests stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your guest needs to pay for parking during any part of the trip, you must disclose this information in scheduled messages immediately after they book their trip.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
