1. Program overview
The "Pitch a Trip" program ("Program") is an initiative by Turo Inc. ("Turo") designed to support content creators and travel enthusiasts in realizing and sharing their road trip experiences across Canada. Participants will have the opportunity to receive sponsorship for vehicle expenses via Turo, including standard protection, trip fees, and selected extras ("Sponsorship"). The Program is scheduled to run throughout the year 2025. However, Turo reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or extend the Program at any time based on operational needs or extenuating circumstances.
2. Eligibility and participation
Participants must have a valid driver's license that allows them to drive in Canada, an active Turo account, and be at least 23 years old. Submissions must be original work and adhere to Turo's community guidelines and policies.
3. Sponsorship inclusions and exclusions
Inclusions:
The Sponsorship covers only the cost of booking a vehicle on Turo with Standard Protection and all trip fees (including Delivery, if available).
Maximum sponsorship value: The maximum amount of travel credits awarded per selected participant is capped at $2,500 CAD, inclusive of all taxes and fees. Any vehicle booking costs exceeding this amount will be the sole responsibility of the participant.
Exclusions:
