  1. * The average earnings figures in the table above, are based on data from all hosts in New Jersey and Connecticut with at least five trip days per month from 10/01/2017 to 04/30/2022 who share a 2018-2022 manufactured vehicle valued between $25,000 and $34,999. Earnings figures include reimbursements and are gross amounts; costs such as car loan payments, vehicle maintenance, cleaning, insurance, and protection plan deductibles haven’t been deducted.

  2. ** Incentive terms and conditions:

    We’re offering hosts in New York an earnings guarantee incentive.

    If you list a new vehicle on Turo in New York between May 31 and July 15, 2022, and it meets our eligibility criteria (see below), Turo will guarantee that vehicle will earn $1,000 per month in July and August 2022, and you’ll also get an extra $500 for each vehicle that earns $1,000+ in July.

    For example, if you earn $800 for a qualifying vehicle in July and $900 in August, we’ll top it up with an additional $200 for July and $100 for August for a guaranteed $1,000 each month. On the other hand, if you earn $1,000 in July on your own without your earnings being topped up, you’ll be eligible for an extra $500 that month. In that case, you would still be eligible for the $1,000 earnings guarantee in August.

    A “new vehicle” is a vehicle that hasn’t previously been listed on Turo, which we’ll validate by VIN. To qualify for the incentive, vehicles must be 2018 or newer.

    The incentive period runs from May 31 to August 31, 2022.

    To qualify for the incentive, you must:
    • List a new vehicle on Turo between May 31 and July 15, 2022.
    • Maintain a minimum of 90% 5-star ratings during the incentive period.
    • Maintain a minimum 90% commitment rate during the incentive period.

    To qualify for the incentive, each vehicle must:
    • Be booked for at least eight days per month.
    • Earn at least $750 per month.

    Only the actual host earnings will be considered when determining a vehicle’s incentive eligibility. “Actual host earnings” means only the daily rate amount received by the host for bookings of the listing during the incentive period. This does not include any reimbursements, additional fees, Extras fees, or Turo fees.

    Turo will add the applicable earnings incentive to your account within 14 business days after August 31, 2022, if you meet the incentive qualifications outlined above. Turo may add the incentive via your standard earnings payout or request that you enable an alternative mechanism using a third-party payment service provider.

    Incentives are non-transferable, not for resale, and can’t be combined with other offers.

    In the event your car is unable to be used for trips for reasons outside of your direct control, Turo may, in its reasonable discretion, still honor the incentive. Turo reserves the right to revoke payment and or participation in this incentive if we suspect abuse.

  3. *** Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy doesn’t provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle. For questions or information about the third-party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, hosts in the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 / claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit https://help.turo.com/. Liability coverage is $1,250,000 for all host protection plans in New York.

  4. Turo is not an insurance company, and contractual reimbursement for physical damage to your vehicle is not insurance. Turo will reimburse hosts for eligible physical damage costs in excess of the deductible, subject to terms and exclusions, for the lesser of the cost of repair up to the actual cash value of the vehicle or $200,000. All listings with total market value of $125,000 or more must provide proof of an active manufacturer-installed tracker. Details here.
