Today, I\u2019m thrilled to announce that Turo is officially live in Australia. This marks our first international expansion in the southern hemisphere, and we couldn\u2019t be happier to bring all the benefits of the world’s largest car sharing marketplace to Australia just in time for the summer holiday season.

Now is the perfect time for Turo to expand down under. Three long years into the global pandemic, travel is finally becoming possible again, but the resulting rental car crunch has limited car availability and inflated pricing. So naturally we\u2019re delighted to provide travelers an alternative option to access an extraordinary selection of cars (like the ones below) with an amazing network of pickup and drop off locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, none of this would be possible without hosts, who are truly the soul of Turo. For the past 12 years, we\u2019ve been intensely focused on building the world\u2019s best platform for car sharing hosts and expanding our global guest community to generate strong demand for bookings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By joining our established marketplace, Aussie entrepreneurs have a unique opportunity to earn money with their cars and take the wheel of their futures by building thriving car sharing businesses during the holiday season and beyond. New Aussie hosts have already listed hundreds of vehicles on Turo, all of which are now available to book across Australia.\u00a0
