We encourage you to request to add any additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in Australia 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 request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver's licence 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.
