How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to Kelowna?

Planning a Kelowna road trip? Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

What’s the best way to get around Kelowna?

Kelowna is ideal for cyclists and boasts plenty of trails for an intimate experience of its bridges, beaches, and wine country. However, to fully experience everything this beautiful region has to offer, a rental car in Kelowna is essential. Public transit is excellent throughout Kelowna, with BC Transit services offering convenient transfers from downtown to east Kelowna, the mall, and the Lakeshore.

While public transit is a good option, it can't match the convenience of a Kelowna airport car rental. Upon arrival at Kelowna International Airport, you can have your rental car ready nearby, allowing you to start your adventure immediately. This seamless experience ensures you make the most of your time in Kelowna. Taxis and shuttles are also available, but they can be costly and less flexible than having your own vehicle. With Turo, you can find an affordable car rental that suits your budget. Whether you need a daily rental, a weekly rental, or a monthly rental, Turo provides flexible options to meet your travel needs.Book your Kelowna car rental on Turo today and enjoy the convenience of having your own transportation.

The drive from Vancouver to Kelowna takes you through some of the most stunning landscapes in the province, offering picturesque mountain views, lush forests, and charming small towns along the way.
