Frequently asked questions

What type of gig work is allowed when I book a car rental for delivery through Turo?

Under the Turo terms of service, you can drive a car rented on Turo to deliver food, groceries, or other goods through DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, or Amazon Flex in any US state except for California, Minnesota, New York, and Oregon.* Read the terms of service for more details.

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car for delivery on Turo.

In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle and any commercial policy would kick in before your Turo protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland. When renting a car for delivery in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, 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.**

Renting a car for delivery gigs isn’t allowed in California, Minnesota, New York, and Oregon or in countries other than the United States. But if you rent a car in New York or internationally for recreational purposes, please note the following information.

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier, Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.** Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

Can other people drive a car that I rent?

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 request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada 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 license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve rented. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

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 or vacation rental, or nearby location, to save time and hassle on your weekend getaway or family vacation. Some hosts offer complimentary delivery, while others set their own delivery fee.

What is the cancellation policy on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts. If you rent a car 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 small cancellation fee. In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can rent 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.

How do I get discounts when renting a car?

Many Turo hosts offer discounted prices for weekly and monthly trips, as well as “early bird” discounts for trips booked a week or more in advance. Get the best deals and lowest rates possible on everything from cars to SUVs by booking longer trips, at least a week in advance. See more about promotions & discounts.

You can also earn a loyalty bonus when you rent cars on Turo for a total of 10 days within a 180-day period. After you complete those 10 days, you’ll receive a promo code for a bonus day, which you can use when you rent your next car. Terms apply. Learn more here.

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!

  1. *Renting a car on Turo for gig work is not permitted in California, Minnesota, New York, and Oregon or in countries other than the United States. Turo isn’t affiliated with DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, or Amazon Flex. Before renting a car to accept work through DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, or Amazon Flex, or to use another platform, guests are responsible for reading and understanding that company's terms and conditions.

    ** Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. If you’re using the vehicle for professional use, the auto liability insurance or protection provided with each trip will be excess to any other personal or commercial policy. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

    For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.

    When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
