Changed my name and they told me I can no longer use the service and can't even discuss it. Terrible service. Avoid. Also, things look cheap until you pay £10 per day for insurance and then a massive turo fee.

It was my first time using the app and I needed to cancel within 16 hours of the trip due to being sick but apparently fine print in the policy says you must cancel within 24 hours to not be charged. I asked for an exception and they said my reason wasn’t good enough. This is my first time renting with them and no one explained this cancellation policy to me (in the app, it clearly said I had the option to cancel up until the time of picking up the car.) won’t be renting from Turo again if this is the kind of customer service they provide.

Just look below and you can see identical experiences as ours. Charged an unreasonable cleaning fee, that was inadmissible by their own cleaning policy. Back and forth with customer service went nowhere. Bottom line: Turo will always back the host. Wouldn't risk using Turo again...

Host canceled and still charge 75% fee even after calling customer service getting hung up on the first time. Then spending all this time on chat with customer service and being told that the host has a right to cancel. Okay I understand that but why the f*** am I still being charged when I showed up and then the host cancels. Man it must be a nice way to make some money to say you're going to rent out your car and then not but still get 75% of someone else's money. I'd say it's a giant f****** scam

Absolutely impossible to get a refund for a charge that wasn't correct. I kept being sent to the "billing chat" Billing chat was useless and told me to call Turo. The customer service at Turo said it could only be resolved on billing chat. This company should be out of business

Turo is the worst company. They deducted 300 pounds without any reason from my money.

Please avoid ever booking with Turo. Worst and scariest experience I have ever had booking a car. We rented a vehicle last week. Made sure to document all damages during checkin. A soon as you hit 60mph the vehicle would shake barely controlable. The vehicle was not safe to drive. When we returned the vehicle the host claimed the same windshield damage which was included with pictures in our checkin process. When we disputed the host got vengeful and claimed smoke damage as well with no proof of smoking. We thought we would be okay because Turo wouldn’t stand for such a scam. Needless to say, Turo immediately blocked my account and began unlawfully charging my credit card. Their only response was we trust our host and provided zero proof or explanation. After multiple fraudulent charges we had to make a report to our creditors. Turo will never help the guest, be prepared for more hidden fees after the end of the trip. We feel completely scammed. All the pictures before and after did nothing to help. Turo didn’t even care to review them. “Our decision is made” and nothing you say will change that was their response to a multiple 5 star guest. Photos show pre existing dirty and damaged condition of interior taken by the host himself before checkin.

I took the 0 deductible insurance. Somebody hit the car and drove away. Turo now insist that the claim not go thru their insurance.

There are lots of hidden costs in the form of protection, gas, and delivery fees. Once Turo gets the credit card, they invoice fraudulent charges. The customer service is pro car owners and does not care about the users.

It was smooth to set an account and rent a car. After return it, my initial fair experience went to down hill - fast. The car got minor scratch on an orange plastic road block pilon; however, the online report does not have enough space to provide proper information but you would not know as you can type all you want and at the end the majority info show - simply disappeared to cyber space. When I contact the the customer service and was told someone from claim department will contact me. Guess what, no one reached out to me and the bill just showed on my credit card without any explanation.

This company is scam!!! I was double charged for a car rental and screwed my bank account up. Do not give these people your credit card or banking info. Horrible experience. They stole 300$ from me. I would never recommend them to anyone

The customer service is terrible.!!! I called three times to check on my refund and I was put on hold for over one hour three different calls..with no answer...as soon as I cancelled by reservation they changed the receipt to hide additional charges that are still due back to me....I am still waiting to see what will be refunded to my credit cards...they are totally playing a game with the consumer...beware!!!! Their website is very lame as well,, as soon as you book a reservation, you are blocked from looking at other cars for that same timeframe which is ridiculous. I brought this up to the customer rep and he could not careless about what I said. On the flip side, the owner of the vehicle I was going to rent from, was amazing and could not be more accomodating..he is new to Turo as well and I honestly do not think he will continue once he figures all of this out....FYI...make sure you have full car insurance ...they will try to sell you their version but it does not cover anything! Most car insurance companies will not cover "car sharing rentals" and so you are stuck with their lame insurance package....better off spending a few extra bucks and renting from a reputable car rental company where you will have full coverage with your own personal car insurance coverage.

In June 2022 my partner and I used Turo to rent a Subaru Forrester in Montana for 4 days. During the visit to Glacier National Park we noticed our car had been dinged on our left rear door (it was very windy so we assumed a neighboring car’s door flung into ours). As such, we followed protocol and logged the ding (see original photo below). What happened next was extremely surprising and disappointing. According to our first estimate car was inspected on 06/30/2022 and we received an “estimate” for the repairs on 07/02/2022 for ~$1,200. The price was more than what we expected but we wanted to close the matter and subsequently paid. Then over 2 months later on 09/07/2022 we received a follow-up “estimate” from Turo. Turo was requesting over $1,000 more to cover additional costs. Initially, when we received this email we assumed it was spam. Not only was the cost astronomical for a small ding (see photo) but so long has passed without any communication that we presumed the matter closed. When inspecting the second “estimate” it is claimed that it took over 20 hours to fix the car (see breakdown below). Apparently, the repair even involved fixing front doors! We have no knowledge of damage to the front doors, and if there was damage we would expect it to be logged immediately after our rental period, not over 2 months later. Now our total requested out-of-pocket was well over $2k and conveniently below our $3k excess. Overall, this experience with Turo has been extremely disappointing and caused unnecessary distress to us. We know this wouldn’t have happened if we used a traditional rental company and going forward that’s what we will do.

Unfounded Charges! I typically do not leave negative reviews, especially for small businesses..I felt the need to inform the consumer! I rented a few cars from TURO at the RoadRunner Towing & Storage location in Yucaipa California. The initial experience was great, although the cars were worn down, it was convenient. My last Volkswagen was in “good” driving conditions, but shortly after the oil light flashed and the smell of burning engine-I reported it and dropped it off as it was my last day. The following day I received a BS CHARGE for “smoking” in the car of 
$260.00 followed by two pic with some light ashes on the floor mat of the passenger side. I thought it was easily explainable as I am not a smoker! If you live in southern Cali, you’re aware of the fire situation we’re currently experiencing! The light ash may have been from the fires and tracked in but certainly did not come from smoking. I tried my best disputing the charges to no avail! I was wrongly charged and couldn’t for the life of me connect with a human being on a call with TURO to hear me out. It’s understandable that if you smoke in the car and go against their policy you get charged., but in no way did I smoke nor do I smoke! BEWARE of doing business through TURO loCated at RoadRunner Towing & Storage as you are risking faulty charges. I will be following up with the better business bureau in the area

"Rented" a Turo vehicle in June 2022 to see family in Chicago. Initially the car was great, host communicated well and I left her with a great review. Upon completion, I received an email days later that I had been charged a smoking fee of $250. I received no warning, only an image that proved nothing. Knowing Turo's STRICT policies- we never smoked in the vehicle. I wrote to the host to try to clear up the confusion with no response. Turo would not allow me to dispute or appeal the claim, stating their decision was final based on the very weak and circumstantial evidence. They charged the card on file automatically. After numerous emails they still ignored my questions and concerns. I have never had any issues prior to this. I also find it very interesting that the allegation was made AFTER I gave the host a good review. Turo closed my account with complete disregard. I do not recommend their services as their customer support is poor and they do not give you the opportunity to fight back. Whatever the host claims is final and can not be reversed. Shame on you!

I was charged duplicate fees for nj tolls. I disputed these charges thru turo with hope I could simply file a proper dispute with the PA E-ZPASS knowing they would side with me and simply charge me the toll and waive the administrative fee. The statue in nj forbids toll evasion charges for E-ZPass account holders in good standing and the process of disputing this is fairly simple. The dispute process was oddly fast with TURO. I was immediately told I was liable without a real reason. I was told they decided the host was correct and they were charging me immediately. The charges were already in motion by the time I got notified. Furthermore they suspended my account and accused me of violating the grey market policy for insisting I would pay the tolls through E-ZPass and not them. I’m only assuming this because they never clarified the suspension but just made me affirm I understood the grey market policy. The company charges 3% for assisting with these after trip claims. The numbers speak for themselves when you consider that the toll fee of $50 gets added to every toll violation. They stand to loose a large portion of revenue from this practice. I hope the class action lawsuit is successful. I hold two E-ZPass accounts because I was accused of toll evasion in the past and made to pay an insane amount of fees. I got wise and read the law. I have two E-ZPass accounts nowZ. One in PA and one in NJ and I added this vehicles tag to my PA account since it was a PA plate. I installed the transponder in the dash but these things fail OFTEN and even the website currently states they are backed up from fees dating to 2021 from COVID. While administrative delays are inevitable. The toll had been immediately sent to the owner of the vehicle, my host Douglass. Instead of notifying me this owner just paid the fines, admitted guilt and submitted an invoice to me. I disputed this invoice for obvious reasons and got hate mail telling me he will make sure everyone knows I’m the worst guest and he will get me blocked. I responded by saying, Hey, I can fix this is two seconds n I’ll have it paid. He replied.” I already paid it. I can’t wait for guests to pay. I’ll get late fees.” TURO billed my checking account immediately. I don’t keep excess cash in this account for this reason. The charges left me (overdrawn). They also doubled the fee and charged me twice the amount of which they claims was a human error. Well they have actually committed a legal error and denied my right to due process for these fees. Liability for all tolls was assumed by me in my contract but nowhere did it say I would allow the owner to invoice me for tolls that I am liable for. In NJ, we are forbidden from claiming no contest for these types of offenses. It’s simply guilty or not guilty. A payment of fine or fee is an admission of guilt and I in no way waived my right to receive a waiver of penalty as I did not evade the toll. The toll was 2.30. All other tolls were properly recorded by the transponder and charged to my E-ZPass account. If the host read properly he would have noticed the back of the sheet has a checkbox for lessors to transfer liability by sending them a copy of the lease agreement. Now wouldn’t you want to prevent being convicted of breaking the law and transfer liabilty as opposed to Admitting guilt to something that might end up causing you a $500 fine and possible loss of license and your registration privileges in New Jersey? I won’t say this man is the brightest I believe he’s fearful of the toll more so then he understands the actual right to transfer the liability because Toro would rather charge 3% and get a piece of the pie and he gets to have a substantial tax write off when he receives his 1099 K from Toro at the end of the year and has to pay a large tax bill. He didn’t seem to understand that this was all illegal. How on earth is this company violating my basic right to due process and holding my debit card on file to be abused for 90 days after my trip to allow the host time to file post trip charges? The host should have transferred liability under N.J. Admin. Code § 19:9-9.2, And several other laws that I can and will be using to stop this practice. It’s a shame. I enjoyed the service. It was expensive. I spent al most 1300 to rent two vehicles for 7 days in total. They had to get greedy and now I’m a damn toll rights activist seeking justice. Just why?

Turo insurance policy. When you book a car with Turo , it provides 4 different insurance categories. One of them to decline any insurance and other 3 options are to cover physical damages to the car while you are using it. I rented out a car from a host and during the rental period car had small physical damage. Thought I paid close to 1000 for the “premier” insurance , Turo wants to go after my personal insurance. After almost two months later, Turo hasn’t gotten back to the host or me ( somehow, Turo paid a partial amount to the host), and when I emailed Turo, they pointed out in their terms and conditions mentions that they will go after renters insurance first for any damages regardless of the insurance purchased. I strongly believe the turo app is misleading, and they deliberately do not provide some of the essential terms of the insurance policies to trick customers into purchasing higher insurance policies.

I rented Turo for 2 days and the car had had odor and when I drove 1 hour, the car could only speed up to 25-30 miles mph and the noise was super loud. I didn’t feel safe driving it and I couldn’t drive it onto the highway so I parked it somewhere near. And then the host started threatening me and said that I returned the vehicle late, which I didn’t. And then they charged me another 164.3 dollars for returning it late. It cost me 330 dollars for driving a car I cannot use for 1 hour. And it ruined my trip ! I also emailed with Turo for 1 month but they didn’t resolve my issue. They didn’t want to help me they just want to charge my money. It is absolutely the lamest and most shady company I have ever encountered. I saw many other reviews on Turo too, it’s just a terrible company. Don’t ever try !

Not once but twice have I rented cars through Turo which had battery issues. I’ve been stranded and unable to get Turo to actually find someone to tow me and help. I once waited for hours before getting a jump from someone and then having to replace the battery myself. The car owner was polite enough to help reimburse me but Turo wasn’t willing to help at since I “exchanged money outside of Turo.” I’m writing this as I am seated at an Autozone for my second Turo rental that was form a different provider and has a bad battery. Turo provides unreliable cars and bad service. You get what you pay for.
