Questions? We’ve got you.

Is this really cheaper than buying a car?

Turo Monthly can be a more affordable alternative. There's no down payment or registration fees, and routine maintenance and liability insurance are included.

Can I actually cancel anytime?

Plans change. You can shorten, extend, or cancel your trip as needed. However, if you've chosen a non-refundable rate, you will not be refunded for the days you've already
paid for.

What happens if I have an issue with the car?

If there’s an emergency or issue during your trip, 24/7 roadside assistance and customer support are available to help get you back on the road.

FAQs about Turo Monthly car rentals

Can I rent a car for multiple months?

Yes. Many vehicles on Turo are available for monthly bookings and extended trips.

Can I extend my trip?

Yes. You can request an extension directly through the app if the vehicle is available.

Are there discounts for monthly bookings?

Many hosts offer discounted pricing for longer trips and monthly bookings.

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 at convenient locations near hundreds of airports. Skip the rental counter and have your car delivered for pickup and return at your hotel, home, or nearby location, to save time and hassle. Some hosts offer free delivery, while others set their own delivery fee.

What if the car isn’t what I expected?

Before you book, you can review real photos, guest reviews, vehicle details, and host ratings to help you choose the right car. In the rare case the vehicle doesn't match the listing when you pick it up, contact Turo 24/7 Support for assistance.

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo. Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.

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 do I need to book a car?

To book a car, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years or older in the US, or 23 years or older in Canada. 



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!

Can other people drive the car that I booked?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you book on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever booked 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 request to add additional drivers before your trip starts.

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 license 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.
