I rented a car from Maurice Jackson out in Destin Florida we rented the vehicle for 2 days we drove down to Louisiana during the trip my sister's purse falls out of her lap and all of the contents fall out she was able to get all of the contents back off the floor and into her purse except for her Vuse pen which we looked all over the car for and could not find so she assumed that she left it at home. Once we parked the vehicle we don't get back in the vehicle until it's time to come back and return the vehicle. Upon turning the vehicle back into its owner he greeted us and thanked us for using the service offered us another vehicle that he has the next time we want to rent and that was that. The very next day I'm out on the beach and I noticed that someone's trying to charge my credit card for $165 so I get on to the turo app to see what the problem was to find that the host has now taken our good review that he initially gave us and turned it into a bad review stating that there was a strong odor of smoke in the car which was a complete and utter lie. I barely allowed my passengers to have chips in a drink let alone smoke or vape in this guy's vehicle. Since he sees the pen he decides to lie on the app and say that he could smell a strong odor of smoke but if you know anyone who uses one of those devices they don't create a smell that's number one but number two this person sat next to me in the passenger seat as I was the driver and she never put that thing to her mouth or used it which is why she thought she left it at home when she couldn't find it. Fast forward I called the owner to clear that up he lies and tells me he's going to reach out to customer service which he never does so I reach out to customer service the next day and they tell me well he put a picture of a pen online so that's solidifies his lie that the car smells like smoke and from there you cannot get another answer from turo they constantly try to charge my card $165 every single day I reported them to my credit card company and now I'm going to report them to the Better Business Bureau if you can please do not use this company just go with a regular rental car company that won't scam you out of your money and then not allow you to talk to anybody while they're doing it. Lastly that $165 that they are trying to charge me for will be sent to collections which is going to kind of mess with my credit but won't really do any damage and then I have to dispute it from there because going through the app or calling is a complete and utter waste of your time they don't care to hear what you have to say they don't care if there's any proof they just don't care they want the money.

Horrible. Have had multiple bad experiences with this company and will not use them again. Last trip their host did not even know they had a scheduled rental, and I was left without a car in a location I was not familiar with. Their system is a mess. It is very difficult to reach customer service, and hard to communicate the problem to them. There is no protection for the customer/guest and if something happens, they will keep your money with no way to file a dispute or complaint. No protection with this company would not recommend.

Extremely Disappointed with Turo's Claim Handling I had an incredibly frustrating experience with Turo's claim processing. After my car was involved in an accident, I filed the necessary claim on the same day I retrieved my vehicle. However, Turo has been extremely slow in handling the claim, leaving it unresolved for over two weeks. To make matters worse, they then requested the same evidence photos I had already submitted at the time of filing. This lack of organization and efficiency has caused unnecessary delays and added stress to the situation. Now we are getting emails that are threatening to close the claim in 48 hours if we don't send the proof that they have already received twice. I am very disappointed with their service and would caution others about using Turo for their car rental needs. I wish I could get a different representative with more experience in severe cases as these but no one cares.

Il s'agit d'une entreprise très louche, surtout depuis le changement de marque ! Ne pas utiliser. Ils sont trompeurs et il est impossible de travailler avec eux. Ils ont annulé un voyage à la dernière minute et ont refusé de m'aider ou de me rembourser. Il est impossible de joindre le service à la clientèle. J'ai perdu des centaines et des centaines de dollars. La pire entreprise que je connaisse !

My experience with TURO rental car during my recent trip to LA was nothing short of a nightmare. After renting a car, I encountered a flat tire the very next day. I immediately called the roadside assistance number provided, hoping for a prompt resolution. Little did I know that this would mark the beginning of a day-long ordeal. From 3:47 PM until past 8 PM, I waited patiently for assistance that never arrived. With no alternative in sight, I had to foot the bill for a towing truck myself. By the time I retrieved a replacement swipe car from the rental location, it was nearing 9:40 PM—effectively wasting an entire precious vacation day out of my four-day trip. To add insult to injury, not a single person I interacted with during this ordeal offered an apology. Instead, I was met with consistently poor attitudes. Some representatives even resorted to pretending they couldn't hear me, repeatedly saying "hello" until abruptly hanging up. In summary, my experience with TURO was utterly abysmal. I strongly advise anyone considering renting from them to steer clear. This company's disregard for customer service and the resulting impact on my vacation time was wholly unacceptable. Stay away at all costs.

With just one day remaining on our BMW reservation with Kyrylo Pierov through Turo, we encountered a flat tire while merging onto the freeway. Surprisingly, the flat occurred on the one tire without a recognized brand, simply labeled "Made in Ukraine," while the other three were Pirelli Run Flat tires. It took a lengthy 2.5 hours for roadside assistance to arrive and retrieve the car, resulting in a day lost from our rental period. Turo recommended to have the BMW towed to the owners garage, hence I will be out my last day of rental. Upon contacting the host about this issue, we received no meaningful assistance. We informed them that due to the flat tire, in which the car is being towed back to him with his already approval with Turo, we wouldn't be able to refill it with fuel since to now have possession of the rental. To our dismay, the host then sent us an invoice for a full tank of gas along with a refueling fee. This situation is unacceptable as the rental failed to provide a properly maintained tire, yet expects us to bear the cost. We refuse to pay for the extra gas charges, and also requested a refund with Turo for the day's rate that we were unable to utilize the car. I received an email from Turo saying they would reach out to me, but the next morning, they charged my credit card for the extra amount. I immediately contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge. My advice to everyone is to steer clear of Turo and opt for reputable car rental companies like Enterprise Exotics. It's just not worth the hassle.

Rented my vehicle out through Turo, customer brings the vehicle back without replenishing the fuel. Filed a claim with Turo, the claim was denied without any explanation. Renters beware, they are not a company that cares about ethics or ensuring their renters are treated with fairness.

I was told by the co host I could return the car earlier but he didn’t know what I was talking about when I mentioned that he had to go in and approve my change request. So I called an agent and they made the change. I returned the car less than 24hrs after picking it up. Then they charged my card $1000+ and wouldn’t return it cause the host never went in and approved the change …..cause he didn’t know how!!!!

I'm giving one star because I'm unable to give ZERO stars. I am being scammed out of $165.00 from Turo. My host lied on me and Turo will believe them even if they don't have proof of their claims. DONT USE THIS DISSERVICE

BEWARE OF UNFAIR CANCELLATION FEES! Needed a vehicle for holiday aboard in Canada, car rentals were booked out so decided to give Turo a try. Was able to get a 7 seater at a price higher than car rental but had little choices. Decided to book immediately and the following transpired. Selected car and date, uploaded license, reservation was made and credit card was charged. Messaged host immediately to confirm time of earliest pickup and he responded immediately. Turo asked me to upload the drivers license again and with the driver holding it and I did. After a 10 mins, I received a message from host that my trip was cancelled due to concerns related to license. This whole process took roughly 30 mins in total. So what happened was that I was suppose to upload my own license and not somebody’s else. My family member who lived in the country I am visiting was willing to drive us around so I decided to submit her license. Apparently this was not allowed and against Turo policy. Fair enough but the kicker was the cancellation fee. My trip cost a total is 150 CAD and the cancellation fee was cost of 1 day rental cost plus cancellation fee which adds us to a sum of 97.45. Now tell me if this is fair? Why am I being punished so severely for a simple process such as uploading wrong license? The Turo app could have easily prompted me to upload my personal license and I would have gladly did it. So of course I tried contacting Turo customer support and after they bouncing me around different departments for an hour and spending additional fund on international calls, they basically say hard lucks, is policy. They say the fee charged was to compensate for the host’s time. That makes no sense, the first thing the host has to do is review the license to confirm if everything good before he even approve the booking. Which he did and the trip was cancelled. Again the whole process took place less than 30 mins and now I am down $100 CAD. I like the ideal of airbnb for cars but i totally despise these business practices. Traditional rental companies won’t even bat an eye if you don’t show up for a reservation but Turo out here charging an hefty funds for such basic and simple mistakes. Please provide super clear and critical warning when customers has to upload id or do some basic image recognition when a license is uploaded to determine if it’s the owner of the account before allowing the reservation to go through and taking people money and providing no service.

Pretty bad experience in Anchorage. Was my first and last trip with Turo. You are not protected in any way from fraudulent damage report, or from paying all damages that show up on a 100K car during the trip. Not for me, too risky for a tiny discount

Really bad experience. Car broke down because of bad maintenance and we had to pay for the repair. Bad after service. Our side of the story was not heard. Would NOT recommend to anybody

Worst experience, we rented a car that had mechanical failure. Did the claim process on their own without consulting us, now have to pay more than 10K for a car that was not safe to drive. Worst experience, never again.

Min Cheng (goes by Gary) of Las Vegas ran a scam on me, and Turo did absolutely zero to hear my side of the story. After Min saw I left a 5-star review (knowing that Turo would not allow me to alter it), he filed a "collision report" for "bush scratches", even though I never hit anything while using his car. There was an extremely windy day while I had the car so I can't guarantee that every single scratch did not occur while I had the car, but if you look at the pictures I submitted, you can't really see any of these cause they're so small no one would notice them, just like I didn't pay much attention to them when I picked up the car. Turo decided to charge me over $1400. Min took the car to a dealer who decided there was more than just superficial damage (cause his car is from 2011 and had taken a beating before I used it), and now Min is trying to get me to pay for over $1400 more in addition to what I already paid him. If you've also been the victim of Min's scam, spread the word! People need to know about this criminal! I'm interested in taking legal action against Turo for allowing him to behave this way, always assuming the host is right, and for demanding to be paid within 24 hours of determining the cost without any consultation of evidence provided by the renter.

Be careful or get the premier insurance. As a renter you are better protected by the big auto rental companies. They will take care of you if you get a flat. Turo is all about the protecting the host, not the consumer.

Rented for the first time. Customer brought my truck back who clearly smoked (marijuana) in it. They cleaned up the evidence but the smell is nauseating. I reported it to Turo with proof of ashes in the truck, and reporting the smell. They told me they can’t Do anything about it, regardless of having a non smoking policy. BE AWARE! Turo will not fight for you or support you. Now I’ll have to spend a few $100 trying to get smell out. Be aware!!

Rented using Turo. Day one had to add oil to the car. Day 5 pulled over for an ambulance got a flat tire and host is charging me $560 for two new tires. Probably wouldn’t happen with Hertz and they would have sent someone to change the flat. I wouldn’t rent again. Disappointed
