models</h1><p>Understanding which car models are most popular among Turo hosts can help you make informed decisions about your own listings. Here are the five most common car models currently available on the platform, along with their respective number of listings and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Chevrolet Malibu (2012 - 2024): 61 listings, 140 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Hyundai Elantra (2011 - 2025): 58 listings, 126 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Nissan Altima (2013 - 2025): 56 listings, 83 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Tesla Model 3 (2018 - 2025): 50 listings, 82 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Toyota Corolla (2011 - 2024): 47 listings, 89 new bookings</p></li></ul><h1>5 Least Common Car Models</h1><p>In the Turo marketplace, certain car models are notably rare. Here are the five least common models currently available, along with their listing counts and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Jaguar XF (2015) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Dodge Hornet (2024) - 1 listing, 1 new booking</p></li><li><p>Land Rover Discovery Sport (2015) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (2020) - 1 listing, 7 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Lexus NX (2018) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>These models may present unique opportunities for hosts looking to attract niche customers.</p><h1>Recent price and availability trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in pricing and availability. The median price (P50) ranged from a low of $49.5 to a high of $59.5, while the 90th percentile price (P90) peaked at $100. This indicates a competitive market with varying demand.</p><p>The average price (mean) across the month was approximately $70.81, with a total of 1026 listings on the first day and a gradual increase in volume, peaking at 1226 listings by January 22. This trend suggests that hosts are responding to market demand by adjusting their availability.</p><p>Notably, the highest volume of listings coincided with lower average prices, indicating a possible oversupply in the market. As hosts, it's crucial to monitor these trends closely to optimize pricing strategies and ensure competitive positioning.</p><p>In summary, January's data reflects a dynamic market where pricing strategies should be flexible. Hosts should consider adjusting their rates based on daily trends and overall demand to maximize earnings.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:75195,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SMvn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa95f2076-0e87-48ee-8431-3a4e8396f8c5_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the model year</h1><p>Analyzing the available Turo listings by model year reveals interesting trends in vehicle availability.

The years 2021 and 2020 also demonstrate strong numbers, with 160 and 150 listings, respectively.

Here are the five least common car models currently on the platform, along with their availability and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Volvo XC90 (2017) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 0</p></li><li><p>Maserati Levante (2020) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 0</p></li><li><p>GMC Yukon (2021) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 1</p></li><li><p>Mazda CX-50 (2024) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 2</p></li><li><p>Mazda Mazda2 (2012) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 0</p></li></ul><h1>Recent Price and Availability Trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in pricing and availability. The average daily rental price (mean) started at $72.42 and saw a gradual decline to $73.92 by the end of the month. The median price (P50) ranged from $52.0 to $61.0, while the 90th percentile price (P90) peaked at $103.0, indicating a diverse pricing landscape.</p><p>Throughout the month, the volume of rentals varied significantly, with a high of 781 rentals on January 27 and a low of 595 on January 2. This suggests that demand fluctuated, likely influenced by seasonal factors and local events.

The majority of listings come from vehicles manufactured in 2015 or earlier, totaling 234 units. However, newer models are gaining traction, with 2023 models leading the pack at 114 listings, followed closely by 2021 and 2022 models with 112 and 110 listings, respectively. The 2024 models show a strong presence as well, with 105 listings. Interestingly, the count for 2025 models is significantly lower at just 31, indicating that hosts may be hesitant to list very new vehicles.

models</h1><p>Understanding the most common car models on Turo can help hosts make informed decisions about their listings. Here are the top five models currently dominating the platform, along with their availability and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Tesla Model 3 (2017 - 2025): 193 available listings, 294 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Ford Mustang (1965 - 2024): 160 available listings, 446 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Tesla Model Y (2020 - 2025): 136 available listings, 152 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Chevrolet Corvette (1974 - 2025): 93 available listings, 218 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Toyota Corolla (2012 - 2025): 89 available listings, 164 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>These models not only have high availability but also attract significant interest from renters, making them excellent choices for Turo hosts.</p><h1>5 Least Common Car Models</h1><p>In the Turo marketplace, certain car models are significantly less common than others. Here are the five least available models, along with their respective number of listings and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Subaru Solterra (2024) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Honda Accord Sedan (2023) - 1 listing, 8 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Chevrolet Bolt EV (2020) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Chevrolet Bolt EUV (2023) - 1 listing, 1 new booking</p></li><li><p>Maserati Grecale (2023) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li></ul><h1>Recent Price and Availability Trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in pricing and availability. The data reveals that the median price (P50) started at $67.00 and gradually decreased to $55.00 by the end of the month, indicating a downward trend in rental prices. Meanwhile, the mean price hovered around $87.02 at the beginning and dropped to $76.44 by January 31st.</p><p>The volume of rentals also showed an upward trajectory, starting at 2,257 on January 1st and peaking at 3,237 by January 27th. This suggests that while prices were declining, demand was increasing, likely due to seasonal factors or promotional activities. The P90 price, which indicates the higher end of the pricing spectrum, fluctuated between $120 and $149, providing insight into the premium listings available.</p><p>Overall, hosts should consider adjusting their pricing strategies in response to these trends. With increasing rental volumes, there may be opportunities to optimize pricing without sacrificing occupancy rates. Monitoring these metrics closely can help hosts maximize their earnings while remaining competitive in the marketplace.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:70467,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0ngg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F38197d27-fc06-4ede-80ae-183e34209b1c_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the model year</h1><p>Analyzing the available Turo listings by model year reveals interesting trends in vehicle availability.

models</h1><p>Understanding the most common car models on Turo can help hosts make informed decisions about their listings. Here are the top five models currently dominating the platform, showcasing their availability and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Nissan Sentra (2012 - 2025): 157 available listings, 254 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Toyota Corolla (2010 - 2025): 127 available listings, 208 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Nissan Altima (2012 - 2025): 116 available listings, 144 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Toyota Camry (2012 - 2024): 114 available listings, 121 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Tesla Model 3 (2018 - 2025): 108 available listings, 149 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>These models not only have a high number of listings but also demonstrate strong booking activity, making them excellent choices for potential hosts.</p><h1>5 Least Common Car Models</h1><p>In the Turo marketplace, certain car models are significantly less common than others. Here are the five least common models currently available, each with only one listing and no new bookings recorded.</p><ul><li><p>Ford C-Max Energi (2013) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li><li><p>Mercedes-Benz CLE (2024) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li><li><p>Genesis GV80 (2022) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li><li><p>GMC Canyon (2022) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li><li><p>Ford Super Duty F-450 (2016) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li></ul><p>These models may present unique opportunities for hosts looking to differentiate their offerings, but the lack of demand should be considered when deciding on a rental strategy.</p><h1>Recent Price and Availability Trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in pricing and availability. The average daily rental price (mean) ranged from $61.09 to $73.30, while the median price (P50) varied between $47.0 and $56.5. The P90 price, representing the top 10% of listings, peaked at $116.95, indicating a diverse pricing strategy among hosts.</p><p>The volume of rentals also displayed variability, with a peak of 2,968 rentals on January 21. This suggests a strong demand during certain periods, likely influenced by local events or seasonal trends. Notably, the mean price saw a gradual decline from $73.01 on January 1 to $61.09 by January 28, reflecting a potential oversupply or seasonal adjustment.</p><p>Hosts should consider these trends when setting their pricing strategies. For instance, adjusting prices dynamically based on demand fluctuations can help maximize earnings.

Here are the top five models currently dominating the platform, along with their availability and new trip statistics.</p><ul><li><p>Tesla Model 3 (2018 - 2025): 166 available listings, 182 new trips</p></li><li><p>Toyota Corolla (2013 - 2025): 136 available listings, 206 new trips</p></li><li><p>Nissan Sentra (2013 - 2025): 127 available listings, 232 new trips</p></li><li><p>Nissan Altima (2013 - 2025): 101 available listings, 145 new trips</p></li><li><p>Toyota Camry (2011 - 2024): 100 available listings, 163 new trips</p></li></ul><p>By focusing on these popular models, hosts can better position themselves in the competitive Turo marketplace.</p><h1>5 Least Common Car Models</h1><p>In the Turo marketplace, certain car models are significantly less common than others. Here are the five least common models currently listed, each with only one available listing and no new bookings recorded.</p><ul><li><p>Jeep Grand Wagoneer (1989) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Lexus LC (2024) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Lexus RC (2016) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Lincoln Continental (1963) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Lincoln Corsair (2022) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>These models may present unique opportunities for niche marketing, but their rarity also means limited demand.</p><h1>Recent price and availability trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in pricing and availability. The average daily rental price (mean) started at $74.25, peaking at $74.81 on January 2, before gradually declining to $68.81 by the end of the month.</p><p>The median price (P50) showed a similar trend, starting at $54.5 and fluctuating between $48.0 and $55.0 throughout the month. The 90th percentile price (P90) remained relatively stable, indicating that while most rentals were priced lower, a segment of higher-end vehicles maintained premium pricing.</p><p>Volume data reveals a consistent demand, with a peak of 2,577 rentals on January 6. However, the overall trend indicates a slight decrease in volume towards the end of the month, suggesting that hosts may need to adjust their pricing strategies to remain competitive.</p><p>Overall, hosts should consider these trends when setting their prices. Monitoring both average and median prices can help optimize listings and attract more renters, especially during peak demand periods.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:70213,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ofn1!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea4a97c4-fb9d-48a9-a848-7d4827378c9d_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the model year</h1><p>Analyzing the data on available Turo listings by model year reveals interesting trends.

models</h1><p>Understanding the most common car models on Turo can help you make informed decisions about your own listings. Here are the top five models currently dominating the platform, along with their availability and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Toyota Corolla (2011 - 2025): 145 available listings, 203 new trips</p></li><li><p>Nissan Sentra (2013 - 2025): 133 available listings, 214 new trips</p></li><li><p>Nissan Altima (2012 - 2025): 120 available listings, 134 new trips</p></li><li><p>Kia Optima (2012 - 2020): 115 available listings, 193 new trips</p></li><li><p>Toyota Camry (2010 - 2024): 113 available listings, 126 new trips</p></li></ul><p>These models not only have a high number of listings but also attract significant interest from renters, making them great options for potential Turo hosts.</p><h1>5 Least Common Car Models</h1><p>In the Turo marketplace, certain car models are notably rare, with very few listings available. Here are the five least common car models currently on the platform, along with their availability and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>McLaren 570S (2018) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Hyundai IONIQ 5 (2023) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (2017) - 1 listing, 1 new booking</p></li><li><p>Toyota Supra (2022) - 1 listing, 3 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Hyundai IONIQ 6 (2023) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>These models may present unique opportunities for hosts looking to stand out in a competitive market.</p><h1>Recent price and availability trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in pricing and availability. The average daily rental price (mean) started at $79.60 and saw a gradual increase, peaking at $85.19 on January 3rd before declining to $70.67 by January 28th.</p><p>The median price (P50) also displayed variability, beginning at $59.75 and reaching $65.00 on January 3rd. However, it dropped to $51.00 by January 28th, indicating a potential shift in demand or competition among hosts.</p><p>The P90 price, which reflects the upper end of the market, remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $110.00 and $131.5. This suggests that while average prices dipped, there remained a segment of higher-end vehicles commanding premium rates.</p><p>Volume data indicates a robust market with a peak of 2,662 rentals on January 28th, suggesting strong demand despite the price fluctuations. Hosts should consider adjusting their pricing strategies to align with these trends, particularly focusing on the high-demand periods.</p><p>Overall, Turo hosts should remain vigilant about market dynamics, adjusting their listings to optimize earnings while catering to varying customer preferences.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:70510,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LyC2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb13e95a0-20cb-4e24-9444-83c7cfdac165_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the model year</h1><p>Analyzing the available Turo listings by model year reveals interesting trends in the marketplace.

Here are the five least common car models currently listed, along with their availability and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>smart fortwo (2016) - 1 listing, 3 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Chevrolet Impala (2019) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (2022) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Chevrolet Cruze Limited (2016) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Kia Cadenza (2018) - 1 listing, 2 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>These models may present unique opportunities for hosts looking to differentiate their offerings in a competitive market.</p><h1>Recent price and availability trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in pricing and availability. The median price (P50) started at $90.25 and gradually decreased to $65.00 by the end of the month. Meanwhile, the mean price saw a decline from $139.34 to $104.06, indicating a shift in market dynamics.</p><p>The data reveals a consistent increase in rental volume, peaking at 3,624 rentals on January 29. Despite the drop in prices, the growing volume suggests a rising demand for rentals, likely driven by competitive pricing strategies among hosts.</p><p>The P90 prices, which represent the higher end of the market, also showed a downward trend, starting at $277.60 and ending at $200.00. This indicates that even premium listings are adjusting to the competitive landscape. Hosts should consider these trends when setting their prices to attract more renters while maximizing their earnings.</p><p>Overall, Turo hosts should remain vigilant about pricing strategies and market trends. Adapting to these changes can enhance visibility and rental frequency, ultimately leading to increased profitability.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:68362,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tWdY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F26a04f08-5783-4557-9677-0f98613841b5_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the model year</h1><p>Analyzing the available Turo listings by model year reveals a clear trend towards newer vehicles.

Here are the top five models currently dominating the platform, along with their availability and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Toyota Corolla (2009 - 2025): 104 available listings, 123 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Tesla Model 3 (2017 - 2025): 85 available listings, 81 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Nissan Sentra (2013 - 2025): 72 available listings, 139 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Tesla Model Y (2020 - 2025): 65 available listings, 60 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Honda Civic (2008 - 2025): 64 available listings, 92 new bookings</p></li></ul><h1>5 Least Common Car Models</h1><p>In the Turo marketplace, certain car models are significantly less common than others. This can present unique opportunities for hosts looking to stand out in a competitive environment. Here are the five least common car models currently listed:</p><ul><li><p>Nissan Rogue Select (2014) - 1 available listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>FIAT 500X (2016) - 1 available listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>FIAT 500c (2012) - 1 available listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>McLaren GT (2021) - 1 available listing, 1 new booking</p></li><li><p>McLaren 570GT (2017) - 1 available listing, 3 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>These models may not attract high volumes of bookings, but they can appeal to niche markets and car enthusiasts.</p><h1>Recent price and availability trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in rental prices and availability. The median price (P50) ranged from a low of $46.5 to a high of $56, while the 90th percentile price (P90) peaked at $123.8. The average rental price for the month was approximately $80.24, indicating a healthy demand despite some price dips.</p><p>The volume of rentals also showed an upward trend, with a peak of 1,839 rentals on January 28. This suggests that hosts were actively engaging with the market, likely responding to seasonal demand. Notably, the average price decreased over the month, indicating a potential increase in competition among hosts, which could lead to lower prices to attract renters.</p><p>Hosts should consider these trends when setting their pricing strategies. Monitoring the P50 and P90 values can help in positioning their listings competitively.

Understanding these less common options can help hosts identify unique offerings that may attract niche customers. Here are the five least common car models currently listed on Turo, along with their availability and new bookings:</p><ul><li><p>Hyundai Kona EV (2022) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 0</p></li><li><p>Mercedes-Benz M-Class (2015) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 1</p></li><li><p>Chevrolet Traverse (2020) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 3</p></li><li><p>Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (2023) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 0</p></li><li><p>Kia EV6 (2023) - Available Listings: 1, New Bookings: 0</p></li></ul><h1>Recent price and availability trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in rental prices and availability. The median price (P50) hovered around $65, with a peak at $71 on several days. The mean price averaged approximately $80, while the 90th percentile (P90) reached as high as $141.75, indicating a diverse pricing strategy among hosts.</p><p>Analyzing the data, we see a downward trend in both mean and median prices early in the month, with the lowest mean price recorded at $75.05 on January 14. However, as the month progressed, prices began to stabilize, with a slight uptick towards the end, peaking at $83.77 on January 31. This suggests that hosts may have adjusted their pricing strategies in response to market demand.</p><p>Volume data reveals a consistent demand, with over 1,100 rentals daily. The highest volume was recorded on January 20, with 1,467 rentals, indicating a strong interest in Turo rentals during this period. Hosts should consider these trends when setting their prices and availability to maximize their earnings.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:72053,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!cM9T!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F66a4eb4a-4941-4a82-9b94-3f260ea27946_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the model year</h1><p>Analyzing the data on available Turo listings by model year reveals interesting trends.

The P90 price, which reflects the higher-end listings, also saw a decline from $143.50 to $125.00.</p><p>The volume of rentals varied throughout the month, starting at 1,190 and peaking at 1,398 on January 22. Despite the decrease in prices, the volume remained relatively stable, indicating a consistent demand for rentals. This suggests that while hosts may need to adjust their pricing strategies, the overall interest in Turo rentals remains strong.</p><p>The data indicates a trend towards lower pricing as the month progressed, which could be attributed to seasonal factors or increased competition among hosts. Hosts should consider this trend when setting their prices, ensuring they remain competitive while maximizing their earnings.</p><p>In summary, January 2025 showcased a dynamic rental market for Turo hosts. By closely monitoring these trends, hosts can make informed decisions about pricing and availability to optimize their listings.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:68167,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!B-nk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F56e8bc56-72b0-4d8a-8e4c-67e2737b5202_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the model year</h1><p>Analyzing the available listings by model year reveals interesting trends in the Turo marketplace.

Here are the five least common car models currently listed, along with their availability and new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Kia Sorento Hybrid (2022) - 1 listing, 3 new trips</p></li><li><p>Cadillac Eldorado (1983) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li><li><p>Honda Ridgeline (2017) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li><li><p>Cadillac CT5 (2020) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li><li><p>Cadillac CT4-V (2023) - 1 listing, 0 new trips</p></li></ul><p>These models may present unique opportunities for hosts looking to attract niche markets.</p><h1>Recent price and availability trends</h1><p>In January 2025, Turo hosts experienced notable fluctuations in pricing and availability. The data reveals a mean rental price of approximately $111.62, with a median (P50) price of $80.00 and a 90th percentile (P90) price reaching $200.00. Overall, the volume of rentals averaged around 2953 per day, indicating a robust demand.</p><p>Throughout the month, the P50 price showed a downward trend, starting at $80.00 and dropping to $75.00 by the end of January. This decline suggests a potential oversupply of vehicles or seasonal variations in demand. Meanwhile, the P90 price fluctuated less dramatically, indicating that high-end rentals remained relatively stable despite the overall price drop.</p><p>Volume data indicates a peak on January 6th, with 3,455 rentals, followed by a gradual decrease in the following days. This pattern suggests that early January may have attracted more travelers, possibly due to holiday travel. As hosts, it&#8217;s essential to monitor these trends closely and adjust pricing strategies accordingly to maximize earnings.</p><p>In summary, while the average prices have seen a decline, the demand remains strong. Hosts should consider competitive pricing strategies and possibly enhance their listings to attract more renters, especially during peak travel periods.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:78529,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i5rO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5527001-658e-4aee-b8dd-c6496cf7c828_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the model year</h1><p>Analyzing the data on Turo listings by model year reveals interesting trends in vehicle availability.

However, newer models dominate the marketplace, with 2023 leading at 938 listings, followed closely by 2024 with 862. The data indicates a steady increase in listings from 2016 to 2021, peaking in 2023, while 2025 shows a sharp decline with only 168 listings. This suggests a growing preference for newer vehicles among Turo hosts, likely driven by demand for modern features and reliability.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:37597,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SaEp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9ee41c38-9c55-4f19-a5cd-b53ae46d4cfe_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Available listings by model year.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Number of Available Listings by Type of the Models</h1><p>In the current Turo marketplace, the distribution of available listings by vehicle type reveals interesting trends.

models</h1><p>Understanding the most popular car models on Turo can help hosts optimize their listings and attract more bookings. Here are the five most common car models currently available, along with their number of listings and total new bookings.</p><ul><li><p>Tesla Model 3 (2018 - 2025): 345 listings, 326 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Tesla Model Y (2020 - 2025): 309 listings, 206 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Kia Forte (2014 - 2024): 272 listings, 398 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Mercedes-Benz C-Class (2011 - 2025): 204 listings, 163 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Ford Mustang (1966 - 2025): 196 listings, 220 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>By focusing on these popular models, hosts can enhance their chances of securing more rentals and maximizing their earnings.</p><h1>5 Least Common Car Models</h1><p>In the Turo marketplace, certain car models are quite rare, with only a handful of listings available. Here are the five least common car models currently on the platform, each with just one listing and no new bookings recorded.</p><ul><li><p>AMC Ambassador (1968) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Chevrolet Chevelle (1971) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Chevrolet Colorado (2022) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Pontiac Firebird (1968) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li><li><p>Pontiac Bonneville (1972) - 1 listing, 0 new bookings</p></li></ul><p>These models may appeal to niche markets, but their rarity suggests limited demand.</p><h1>Recent Price and Availability Trends</h1><p>In January 2025, the car rental market in Los Angeles showcased a dynamic range of pricing and availability. The average daily rental price (mean) fluctuated around $90.33, with a median price (P50) of $62.00 and a 90th percentile price (P90) reaching $155.00. The total volume of listings varied significantly, peaking at 5,837 listings on January 22.</p><p>Analyzing the data reveals several trends. Initially, prices started strong at the beginning of the month, with a mean of $90.33 on January 1. However, a downward trend in pricing was observed, with the mean dropping to $76.80 by January 27. This decline coincided with an increase in listing volume, suggesting that more hosts entered the market, leading to increased competition and lower prices.</p><p>Interestingly, while the mean price decreased, the P90 price remained relatively stable, indicating that premium listings still commanded higher rates. The highest P90 price recorded was $155.00 on January 1, gradually decreasing but still reflecting a strong market for higher-end vehicles.</p><p>Overall, Turo hosts in Los Angeles should consider adjusting their pricing strategies in response to these trends. As the volume of listings increases, competitive pricing will be crucial to attract renters while still maximizing earnings.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:false,&quot;imageSize&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:66365,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZZUe!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2b54dd2d-12b1-467f-8fa7-e605c405b28a_700x500.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Active listings prices in the area.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Listings by the Model Year</h1><p>Analyzing the available Turo listings by model year reveals a clear trend towards newer vehicles.

Copy paste and done!</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Adjust default settings</h1><p>Turo lists your car with default pricing, discount and availability settings which may not be to your liking. Review at least the following:</p><h2>Protection plan</h2><p>Turo offers 5 different plans that can be a bit tricky to choose from but here&#8217;s how I think about it:</p><ul><li><p>If you only have 1 car and you need it, choose 75 or 60. The 60 plan includes loss of income but&#8217;s by far the most costly to you.</p></li><li><p>If you can afford any deductible payments in case of an accident you can choose the 80, 85 or 90 depending on your savings account.</p></li><li><p>I keep all my cars on the 90 plan. The few accidents I&#8217;ve had were all covered by the guest&#8217;s deductible payment.</p></li></ul><p>Here&#8217;s some math you can use for comparing plan values have deductibles for a car that can do gross bookings of $5,000 in a year. Since the cheapest coverage ($2,500 deductible) is in plan 90 we can compare others against it.</p><ul><li><p>85 plan ($1,625 deductible) will cost you $250 extra and will reduce deductible by $875. The extra cost would pay for the extra deductible in $875/$250 or 3.5 years.</p></li><li><p>80 plan ($750 deductible) will cost you $500 more and will reduce your deductible by $1,750. The extra cost would pay for the extra deductible in $1750/500 or 3.5 years.</p></li><li><p>75 plan ($250 deductible) will cost you $750 more and will reduce your deductible by $2,250. The extra cost would pay for the extra deductible in $2250/750 or 3 years.</p></li><li><p>60 plan ($0 deductible) will cost you $1000 more and will reduce your deductible by $2,500 and pay back in 2500/1000 or 2.5 years.</p></li></ul><p>Large accidents are rare, Turo doesn&#8217;t disclose exact numbers but they will vary based on the cars you&#8217;re renting. Sports cars are probably more likely to get involved in an accident than a family minivan. </p><h2>Pricing range</h2><p>Turo&#8217;s default pricing range tends to be on a cheaper side.

limits</h2><p>Distance limits are critical for customers looking for longer trips. Depending on your car you may be ok with 1000mi over 2 days but most hosts set the limit to 250mi/day. </p><p>Consider your area, if you&#8217;re close to destinations that require 500mi round trip then offering 200/day won&#8217;t help those customers. For example, I live 170 miles away from a very popular destination so offering 200mi limits never been an issue for me. </p><p>The Unlimited miles can be a great way to attract customers but beware of the increased maintenance costs. Enabling it for the slower months can be a great competitive advantage. </p><h1>Create automated messages to save time</h1><p>Turo introduced an ability to create message template that get sent upon different stages of the trip. For example, you can send an automated welcome message right after the car is booked. It&#8217;s a great way to engage a customer, say thanks, tell them about the car or pickup.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png" width="965" height="684" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:684,&quot;width&quot;:965,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:92750,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ln5a!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F528d7bfb-20d2-48ae-b717-28df5ccd99c4_965x684.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Examples of my message templates.</figcaption></figure></div><h1>Summary</h1><p>By following these tips, you&#8217;ll be well on your way to creating an appealing and competitive Turo listing.

If you're pondering whether to list your beloved car for rent, you're in the right place. As an experienced Turo host who's managed six different cars and currently hosts three, I've learned a thing or two about turning your car from a depreciating asset into a money-making machine. Here&#8217;s what you need to consider before you start.</p><h3><strong>1. Assess Your Risk Level</strong></h3><p>Yes, every Turo trip comes with insurance, but it&#8217;s wise to plan for the unexpected. What if your car ends up in the body shop for weeks, or worse? While no one likes to think about their car meeting a sad fate, being prepared will save you many headaches. Have a contingency plan and remember, it's all part of the rental game.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp" width="518" height="518" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1024,&quot;width&quot;:1024,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:518,&quot;bytes&quot;:198544,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/webp&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LzeP!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b0b9d5-a592-4421-b16e-ad3c87dafc34_1024x1024.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3><strong>2. Time &amp; Effort Investment</strong></h3><p>Think you can just hand over the keys and sit back? Think again! Prepping your car for guests&#8212;washing, cleaning, and ensuring everything is in tip-top shape&#8212;can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Consider whether you have the time, facilities, or a handy car wash nearby to keep your car looking its best. Providing a great experience will get your better ratings and more future trips.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp" width="506" height="506" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1024,&quot;width&quot;:1024,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:506,&quot;bytes&quot;:360848,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/webp&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o2e5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F992bc17a-13e0-4526-82a0-5119014790ef_1024x1024.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3><strong>3.

But seeing your car as a business asset rather than a personal treasure can make all the difference.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp" width="384" height="384" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1024,&quot;width&quot;:1024,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:384,&quot;bytes&quot;:234950,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/webp&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!P687!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff28a436d-1ad3-47b9-8820-3c2d6f99ecd6_1024x1024.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3><strong>5. Start With What You Have</strong></h3><p>My advice? Start small. Use a spare car or one you don&#8217;t need daily. This approach minimizes the risk of debt and gives you a taste of what being a Turo host entails without overwhelming commitment. It costs nothing to list your car so give it a try!</p><p><strong>Overall:</strong> Renting your car on Turo isn&#8217;t just about earning extra cash; it&#8217;s about embracing a new way of thinking about what a car can do for you. While it might not turn you into a full-time car rental mogul, it&#8217;s a great way to cover your car expenses and maybe even fund those little extras in your life.</p><p>Happy hosting!</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://turbopricing.com&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;See how much your car can earn today!&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://turbopricing.com"><span>See how much your car can earn today!</span></a></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.turbopricing.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading TurboPricing Blog!

my 2014 Mazda 6, which was gathering dust after we purchased a newer model. Selling it could offer a quick cash boost, yet there were times a second car would be handy. Then, a friend introduced me to Turo, where he was renting out a Corvette in Florida. The idea of turning my idle car into a profit-making machine was too tempting to pass up.</p><h2>Deciding Not to Sell</h2><p>We had family visits a few times a year so &#8220;it would have been nice&#8221; to have a second car for those occasions. On the other hand, paying insurance and registration fees for a car that isn&#8217;t used most of the time wasn&#8217;t smart either.</p><p>At that time, the car had around 60k miles and was worth about $10,000. A nice chunk of cash to put into savings. I was getting really excited about this payday :) but as you can already suspect I didn&#8217;t end up selling it.</p><h2>Discovering Turo</h2><p>Right around that time I learned of Turo from a friend of mine who told me how he&#8217;s renting a Corvette in Florida. The idea of &#8220;employing&#8221; sounded very enticing so I decided to learn more. </p><p>Key factors that made me want to give it:</p><ul><li><p>No upfront cost</p></li><li><p>Fully insured trips from the host or renter&#8217;s side</p></li></ul><p>I downloaded the app, followed their instructions and 30min later my car was listed for rental. </p><h2>The Initial High</h2><p>I listed the car for about $55/day and soon I started getting booking requests. I finished that year earning around $600/mo which was beyond expectations. It covered my insurance, registration fees, maintenance and left with more. . In fact, those earnings covered the highlander loan payments. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png" width="1456" height="768" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:768,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:168958,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nWCe!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40b7abf0-85c2-4615-94a9-ab1c6d8ceb1a_1930x1018.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Monthly earnings from my 2014 Mazda 6</figcaption></figure></div><h2>Real Costs of Car Sharing</h2><p>&#8220;Almost&#8221; is the keyword here, the money was paying for my car expenses but it wasn&#8217;t free. Here are the real costs behind these numbers:</p><ul><li><p>Time - each trip takes about 15-45min of work to prepare the car. An average over 4 trips per month amounts to around an hour to three of work.</p></li><li><p>Cleaning &amp; Maintenance Costs - car washes, extra oil changes, air filters, tires, etc.</p></li><li><p>Wear and tear - extra milage (it was around 1k miles per month), interior wear etc.</p></li></ul><p>Starting with $3,613:</p><ul><li><p>Turo took 10% (this number is adjustable) - $361.3</p></li><li><p>Maintenance and insurance - $300</p></li><li><p>Registration - $600</p></li></ul><p>That left me with around <strong>$2300</strong> of pure profit which is around <strong>$380 per month</strong>.</p><p><em>For those still following the math, it&#8217;s about <strong>$90 - 200 per hour</strong>!</em></p><p>That made me quite satisfied with the efforts I was putting in and returns I was getting. </p><p>I sold my Mazda 6 in 2022 for $7000 after it has earned me $8,000. Not too shabby for a first go at Turo. In retrospect, I should have kept the car for another year and squeezed even more profit out of it. </p><h2>Unexpected Challenges</h2><p>I still remember the feeling of my stomach dropping the first time I received call from a customer telling me he got into an accident. I wanted to quit Turo right at that moment but told myself &#8220;this is just the cost of doing business&#8221;. Turo&#8217;s claim process worked as expected and everything got resolved in a week. This wasn&#8217;t the last of it:)</p><p>Over the one year I had the Mazda rented I experienced the bitter side of the business.</p><ul><li><p>Small accident - paid by the renter with his deductible ($500)</p></li><li><p>Broken side window - paid by the renter with her deductible ($1500)</p></li><li><p>Smoking violation - reimbursed $150 by Turo directly.</p></li></ul><p>Luckily, I had no major accidents or crazy renters but I expect that one day I will. </p><p><em>&#8220;This is just the cost of running a business.&#8221;</em></p><h2>Key Takeaways</h2><p>Over last 3 years I learned many lessons of what it takes to be a successful host on Turo. I will share that in another blog post, but I hope this article gives you a good real world example of a journey you might expect if you decide to join Turo as a host.</p><ul><li><p>Renting your car on Turo can be very profitable and satisfying</p></li><li><p>It&#8217;s a great learning experience of running a small business</p></li><li><p>It will change your perspective on car ownership and attachment to things</p><p></p></li></ul><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.turbopricing.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading TurboPricing Blog!
