For guests
Pick your protection package
When booking a car, you’ll choose from a range of protection plans for your trip — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — each of which has varying levels of physical damage protection. You may also choose to decline physical damage protection in some cases. Whichever protection option you choose, you’re covered with $2,000,000 CAD in third-party liability insurance.
“Vehicle owners who sign on are protected by the company’s commercial insurance policy, while [guests] have access to Turo’s 24/7 roadside assistance and customer support.”
“The commercial policy kicks in from the moment the car owner sets out to deliver his or her vehicle to the [guest] (if they chose to do so) to the end of the trip. Whenever the car isn’t being used via Turo, it is covered by the owner’s regular insurance company.”
“A standard insurance plan is available to hosts that protects against damage for collision as well as theft, with $2 million in third-party liability coverage.”

What happens if my vehicle gets damaged?
If your vehicle gets damaged during a trip, simply notify Turo, providing pre- and post-trip photos within 24 hours of the end of the trip. It’s important to take photos before and after each trip to document the vehicle’s condition.***
A Turo associate will reach out within one to three days and guide you through the rest of the process. Turo will reimburse the repair costs for eligible physical damage.*
* Turo will reimburse hosts for eligible physical damage costs, subject to terms and exclusions, for the lesser of the cost of repair up to the actual cash value of the vehicle or $150,000 CAD in all the provinces where Turo operates.
** Certain roadside assistance fees may be charged. Review the Help Center article for more info.
