Crossing the City of Bridges

Sitting at the confluence of three rivers, Pittsburgh is a place where the industrial era collides with contemporary America, so that you’ll find beautifully ornate buildings showcasing sports history — very important history to locals — and refined eateries within the walls of old mills and factories.

If you’re looking in the right places, Steel City is beloved and full of surprises, so grab the keys to your Pittsburgh airport car rental alternative and discover the elegant mysteries of Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh favorites

Steer your Pittsburgh car rental alternative around the city to check out the wealth of museums, and a few distinctive attractions that have a special place in locals’ hearts.

purple lines

Duquesne Incline

This funky funicular has been carting visitors up to Mount Washington since the 1870s, and it only takes one look at the view from the top to understand why. The city skyline view is especially stunning at night.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History

Of the four Carnegie museums in town — all of them worthy of visits — this one has some exceptional exhibits, like the glittery gem display, the Hall of Ancient Egypt, and the interactive paleolab.

Randyland

Local celebrity, Randy Gilson, became well-known for turning a North Side warehouse on Jacksonia St into a home and studio by decorating it with psychedelic art made with found ephemera from the streets.

Way better than a rental car

Fallingwater

Steer your Pittsburgh car rental alternative one hour south to visit the elegant home built on top of a waterfall by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Best Pittsburgh driving roads

Purple squiggle

Canton Avenue

The 37% grade on Canton Avenue makes it the steepest in the US, so even though it’s only a tenth of a mile long, you’ll want to push your Pittsburgh car rental alternative up this one.

Highway 30

For gorgeous views and sweeping curves on a less traveled road, zip east to Latrobe and head south to Ligonier, or go farther to climb the ridge at Laughlintown.

Lake Wilhelm Scenic Byway

Take your time cruising through farmland north of the city in your PIttsburgh car rental alternative, and take the turnoff for Lake Wilhelm for a pleasant six-mile spin around the lake’s edge.

Frequently asked questions in Pittsburgh

What do I need to book a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

In the UK, you must be 21 years old or older and have held a UK or EU license for at least one year, or another driver’s license for at least two years. In France, you must be 18 years old or older and have held a driver’s license for at least 2 years, longer for certain makes and models of vehicles.

When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

What protection plan options are available on Turo?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you or decline coverage in some cases. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance provided under a policy from Travelers — up to $750,000 for the Premier plan.*

How do I get discounts on cars in Pittsburgh?

On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promo codes, discounts, and deals.

Additionally, frequent travelers on Turo can get rewarded with the loyalty bonus — earn a promo code for one bonus day when you take trips totaling 10 days in a 90-day period.

**Learn how the loyalty bonus works

Are there discounts on weekly or monthly trips?

Many Turo hosts offer discounted prices for weekly and monthly trips so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips. See more about promotions & discounts.

What types of cars can I book in Pittsburgh?

Browse the widest selection of vehicles for every occasion and budget on Turo, whatever your preferred type of vehicle. Find a full-size SUV for a family road trip, a pickup truck for some errands, or a sporty convertible for a special night out in Pittsburgh. For the lowest prices, use the “budget-friendly” filter to browse economy vehicles.

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

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 any debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo that is linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

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. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Are there cars available near the Pittsburgh airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the Pittsburgh airport. After arriving at the Pittsburgh International Airport, skip the rental counter and have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Pittsburgh hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorized drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress with no extra charges.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
