City roads in downtown Springfield

The pulse of the Ozarks

Springfield is for enjoying out-of-the-ordinary experiences while still feeling right at home. Missouri’s third-largest city is a family-friendly hotspot with an atmosphere that radiates classic Americana heritage — Route 66 passes through Springfield after all.

Visit historic theaters like Landers Theatre and Gillioz Theatre, make a reservation to chow down on some midwestern cooking, then head out into the lakes and forests of the Ozark Mountains for some outdoor adventures.

Over 500 animals call Springfield’s zoo home. Explore the “Tropical Asia” area for exotic species from afar, then stroll through “Missouri Habitats” to discover details on the local fauna like wolves, black bears, and river otters.

Another day trip location for the family, this science and learning museum of sorts encourages visitors to challenge themselves and with hands-on exhibits that cover everything from technology to art to history. Ride the HighWire bike and maybe take home a sample of your own DNA!

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own price, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Are there cars available near the Springfield airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the Springfield airport. After arriving at Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF), sometimes called Branson Airport, skip the rental counter and have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Springfield hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle. The airport location is just on the edge of Springfield, so no need to rush going to or from the baggage claim.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip 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 booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
