Many cars sit idle over 90% of the time, so Turo offers car owners a safe way to recoup the costs of owning a car while they\u2019re not using it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about insurance?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Great question. $1 million in liability insurance comes standard when you share your car on Turo, provided by Liberty Mutual through Turo Insurance Agency. When you list your car, you\u2019ll then choose between various protection packages (Basic, Standard, and Premium), each of which offers different levels protection against physical damage. You can read more details about insurance <a href=\"https:\/\/support.turo.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/203991830-How-does-insurance-work-for-hosts-\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply <a href=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/list-your-car\">list your car on Turo<\/a> during the shutdown or up to one month after it ends, set your car\u2019s availability, and accept any trip requests that start rolling in. Once you\u2019ve completed your first trip, email <a href=\"mailto:fed-worker-relief@turo.com\">fed-worker-relief@turo.com<\/a> from the email address associated with your Turo account, and include proof that you are a federal employee or contractor, such as a photo of your government ID or badge so we can confirm your federal employment status. Once we process and approve your email, Turo will pay you out your $250 bonus.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We sincerely hope that this stalemate gets rectified quickly, but in the meantime, we hope Turo can help you to leverage your existing assets to help make ends meet during this difficult time. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wish you all the best.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Turo is not available in the state of New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">** <a href=\"https:\/\/support.turo.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360015804613\">Terms apply<\/a>. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATTENTION ALL FURLOUGHED FEDERAL EMPLOYEES!
