Looking forward to have a vacation trip again with your service guys! Thanks!
Absolutely Flawless Experience — Will Never Go Back to a Regular Rental Agency! From the moment I booked online to the second I returned the keys, everything was seamless. The booking process took less than five minutes, and I received a confirmation text within the hour to go over all the details — that personal touch made a huge difference right from the start. Highly, highly recommended! 🙌🚗
Very comfortable prestige car to drive, easy pick up and drop off with lockbox on street parking near transport, great communication. Definitely recommend!
Pick up was easy, car was very tidy, car was well maintained. Best car rental so far 🫡
The best little ride! Suichu was an incredible host - quick to respond with clear pick up and drop off instructions, which made collection and drop off a breeze for a first time TURO user. The car itself was in pristine condition and well maintained, perfect for a weekend trip to the Central Coast. I’m looking forward to my next trip with the little Mini
Edward has been so so kind and nice, helpful all along from the beginning to the end of this trip. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to rent a car. He gave us all the valuable insights about traveling as well. He even offered a lift going back to the city(maybe it's because it was too late) anyway, he was the best guy on Turo.
Great experience overall. Communication with the owners was excellent throughout, and both pickup and drop-off were seamless. The car itself was solid and comfortable to drive, with plenty of boot space, which was a real bonus for a trip. Would highly recommend!
The car quality was great. The system is thorough to check in and out. They check in during your trip to make sure everything is okay. The car was clean. It was a super smooth experience aiding in our Australian adventures! I would certainly recommend!!
Great communication. Clear and easy pick up. The car was really clean nice to drive and we enjoyed using for our trip. Definitely book with them again!
I’ve rented many times off of Sixt and Enterprise etc so was quite skeptical of the competitive price off an independent rental car company. It turned out that not only was the Toyota Camry a good deal but also an extremely smooth process from start to finish, other than the slightly longer process of taking photos of the car upon pick up and drop off Alexander and team were far smoother, and communication was much more instant than with a larger commercial company. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and plan to do so in the future, thank you so much!
Host was awesome, helped us out a lot when we needed to extend our trip a few days. 10/10 would rent again!
The car was great, clean, and I had no issues with pick up or drop off. Would rent again!
The car is Mechanically A1. An absolute dream to drive. Its got great get up and go for a little car. Host is so easy to deal with clear instructions. Easy pick up and drop off... my week had been stressful due to my car breaking down and he made everything so easy. Thankyou will definitely hire through u again.
Car was amazing. Lovely to drive, well looked after. The host is a pleasure to deal with. Easy pick up and drop off. Will definitely hire again.
Everything was perfect! Streamlined process to collect the car and return the car. Had some rubbish in the car left behind but was only a couple of small things nothing that impact my rental experience. Would recommend booking with these guys!
Great trip! Very good car and very easy to pick up and drop off. Edward was very responsive and helpful :)

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to rent a car on Turo?
To book 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 two 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 book a car on Turo.
When booking a car in Australia, you’ll choose between the Premier (if available), Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host’s vehicle. All trips include $20,000,000 in legal liability protection for damage to other people’s property. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*
Do I need an Australian license to drive in Australia?
No, you don’t need an Australian licence to rent a car in Australia. But you do need a valid driver’s licence — most international driver’s licences are accepted in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and France.
Can other people drive a car that I rented?
Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve rented. You can add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
What is the cancellation policy 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 happens if I have an accident?
If there’s an emergency or an issue with the car, call our emergency roadside assistance provider, available 24/7. We’ll make sure you’re safe, then help you get back on your way.
Can I get my car delivered to me?
Yes, many hosts offer delivery to travel hubs like airports, train stations, and hotels, or to custom delivery locations. There are cars available on Turo near hundreds of airports, or you can have your car delivered for pickup and return at your hotel or vacation rental to save time and hassle. Some hosts offer free delivery, while others set their own delivery fee for the service.
How do I get discounts when renting a car?
Many Turo hosts offer discounted prices for weekly and monthly trips, so you’ll get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.
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 on rental cars!
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 to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses.
- * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan. Review the Guest Product Disclosure Statement for more information.
