BC, it\u2019s your turn to earn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After years of hard work, Turo has officially landed in BC.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may be wondering what took us so long. After all, BC is the perfect province for a car sharing service, and for Turo in particular. It boasts spectacular natural scenery, vibrant cities, and ample opportunities for adventure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re right. The truth is, BC\u2019s been on our radar since the moment <\/span>we arrived in Canada<\/span><\/a> in 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But you know what they say: Anything worth doing is worth doing right, and a big part of doing right by our community is ensuring they\u2019re properly covered when using the Turo marketplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After several years of discussions with the provincial government and ICBC, Turo was finally able to obtain a new insurance product that equally protects both hosts and guests. Starting today, every reservation in BC will be covered by a protection plan offering $2 million in liability insurance and physical damage coverage up to the full value of the car, with no deductible for hosts. This means that <\/span>our BC community will enjoy the same level of protection as all the other Canadian provinces that Turo supports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since our Canadian launch, hosts and guests have made Turo the country\u2019s largest and fastest-growing car sharing platform. As of today, our Canadian Turo community is 850,000 people strong and includes 35,000 car listings in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia\u2026 and now British Columbia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t use the word community lightly. Yes, Turo is a way for people to see the sights, enjoy a weekend getaway, or roll up to their friend\u2019s wedding in style. But as we\u2019ve witnessed over the past few months, it\u2019s also a platform for enriching communities and keeping neighborhoods mobile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Turo host, chances are you\u2019re the reason someone got to work on time, could make a big grocery store run for their vulnerable neighbours, or drive their loved ones to an important doctor\u2019s appointment. If you\u2019re a Turo guest, you\u2019ve likely helped someone cover their car payment or make ends meet after a job loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to an <\/span>Angus Reid Global survey<\/span><\/a>, BC car owners shell out $7,700 per year, on average, for their vehicle, but they\u2019re using them less than 4% of the time. In a province already known for its high cost of living, and at a time when financial constraints are magnified, we\u2019re proud to help BC car owners turn their cars into earnings engines and play our part in making life in the province a little more affordable.<\/span><\/p>\n

And as the province returns to a \u201cnew normal\u201d given this year\u2019s challenging circumstances, residents will be able to book unique cars perfect for any occasion and turn this summer\u2019s staycations into local trips to remember. <\/span><\/p>\n
