UK Car Ownership Index 2025
Explore the latest insights, uncover surprising data, and see how Brits are navigating car ownership in 2025.
The shifting cost of car ownership
Car ownership in Britain has reached a financial tipping point, according to Turo's annual 2025 Car Ownership Index in partnership with YouGov. Our second annual Car Ownership Index shows how central cars remain to everyday life, but highlights how financial pressures, from insurance and fuel to the cost of maintenance, are reshaping the way people think about ownership.
Car sharing as an alternative
“Turo helps drivers navigate those pressures from both sides. For guests, it provides flexible, affordable access to a car without the long-term commitment or the hidden costs that often come with ownership. For hosts, sharing their car on Turo can help cover rising expenses — turning a personal vehicle into a source of income.”
