Daimler, SK, join the Turo family<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s with great pleasure and a deep sense of honor that I announce today that Turo has raised $92 million in Series D funding! The round was co-led by Mercedes-Benz manufacturer, Daimler, and one of South Korea\u2019s largest conglomerates, SK Holdings, bringing invaluable strategic guidance as we gear up to expand farther into Europe and Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Daimler, Turo will acquire Croove, the leading peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace in Germany. Croove has proven that car sharing is poised for greatness in Germany, and we\u2019re excited to turbocharge the growth of the German market in partnership with the revered and seasoned Daimler brand. Additionally, we look forward to partnering with SK to build a strong foundation for the future, when peer-to-peer car sharing launches in Asia. Daimler and SK are joined by two new investors, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures and Founders Circle Capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our community will benefit from our international growth in the coming weeks and months \u2014 with business already bustling across the US, <\/span>Canada<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>the UK<\/span><\/a>, we look forward to launching Turo in Germany in the next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to international expansion, we will also focus on strengthening our insurance capabilities with the help of Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures. We plan to invest capital from the Series D in enhancing the customer experience for both hosts and travelers, and growing the Turo brand into a household name globally. <\/span><\/p>\n

Onward!<\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m humbled and honored to have witnessed the tremendous growth of our business and our community over the last several years \u2014 from <\/span>the company\u2019s early days<\/span><\/a> through <\/span>our rebrand to Turo<\/span><\/a>, the team has made tremendous strides in building a marketplace that\u2019s strong, sophisticated, and safe. In the nearly two years since our Series C round, Turo has quadrupled in signups and vehicle listings, growing our community to over four million strong with over 170,000 vehicles available to share around the world. We\u2019ve accomplished so much, yet have so much more to do.<\/span><\/p>\n
