Add optional Extras to your trip at checkout.

The car will be either on the street or in the parking lot at this address. You will return it to the free parking lot at this address so you don't have to worry about finding street parking. .

I'd love to be pet-friendly but this just isn't the car for them. The car will always be cleaned inside and recently washed. However, because the car may have been sitting outside for a couple days prior to your rental, it could be somewhat dusty (L.A. air is not the cleanest!). See my FAQs for add'l information.

• Do I need to document the condition of the car?

  If I do a remote handoff, which is the norm and certainly the most convenient option for both of us, I do recommend that you take pictures and note the mileage and fuel level before setting off. Do the same when returning. Take photos of each side of the car, the interior, and closeups of any obvious damage you see. Upload all these pictures to the Trip Photos section of your reservation. Usually, I will have done the same before the start of the trip, too.

• Do I need to wash the car when I'm done?

  Of course not! You drive, I wash. Even after long trips, leave it to me to freshen the car back up. Now, if you took a mud bath or drove through an aviary, those would be situations where it might be a good idea to give it a quick rinse before that soil bakes onto the paint...

• What happens if I damage the car?

  I understand that things happen. Any time you experience difficulty during your rental, contact me promptly. In most cases, if you have incurred damage beyond normal wear-and-tear, it will be easier and cheaper for us to resolve the issue together and not involve Turo. Turo supports hosts & guests working things out together. Read more about this here: https://support.turo.com/hc/en-us/articles/207963877-How-can-owners-and-guests-work-together-to-resolve-a-claim-

• Can I use the FasTrak toll lanes?

  FasTrak is an automated toll program in SoCal where you can use the special toll lanes for the designated fee (see electronic signs at time of use). The car has a toll sticker so you are welcome to use the toll lanes. But you are responsible for the actual fees of the tolls incurred during your rental. You can pay them online after the fact (recommended) or if not, I will ask for a reimbursement later--no surcharges will be added. I will provide a copy of the statement for your review if desired.

• How do I pick up and drop off the car?

  Most pickups and dropoffs will occur remotely, so we're always on YOUR schedule! The car will be in a dedicated parking spot. The keys will be in the glove box and the car will be unlocked. When you are ready to drop-off, there's a dedicated, free spot for you. Return the key where you found it. Don't lock the door manually--instead, send me a message so I can fetch the car. Be sure to read the pickup & dropoff instructions for more detail on uploading a picture of your driver's license and photos of the car to document the existing condition.

• I've got a lot of bags, and there's no way they can fit, but I really want to make this happen! What can I do?

  A road trip up the California coast is something on many tourists' lists. But what do you do with all the weeks' worth of stuff you got with you? I got you covered! Just down the street from me I have a storage unit, and I'm happy to stow your excess bags while you take L.Abarth on a road trip. Just have your bags sorted when you come to pick up, and I'll handle the logistics after that and have them with me when you drop off the car.

• Do I need to re-fill the gas tank? What octane?

  Premium gas only, please! Please leave gas receipts in the car so I can verify you gassed up with the proper grade. Just return the car with the same amount of gas it started with. Usually, that will be completely full. Here's Turo's policy: https://support.turo.com/hc/en-us/articles/203990730-Fuel-policy

• Do I need to vacuum the car when I'm done?

  Of course not! You drive, I clean. Even after long trips, leave it to me to freshen the car back up. The only situation where you should clean is if the soil is excessive--food droppings everywhere, tough stains, sand like you left the windows open at the beach, cat hair attached to every fiber of the headboard....Don't risk a cleaning fee in situations like these.
