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.

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the Richmond airport and Richard E Byrd Terminal Dr. After arriving at the Richmond International Airport, Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport, or Charlottesville Albemarle Airport, skip the rental counter and have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Richmond hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle.

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.
