It’s way cheaper than the big guys, by a lot, and this is still including the highest Turo insurance that you can get which covers everything. You choose the exact car you want, not from a fleet of “Ford Explorer or comparable”. I’m not sure why renting a car before the Turo app was seemingly in the dark ages, but today renting a car through their platform shows that it should have been down this way from the start. App needs to make sure host is clear on locations to avoid hassle for the guest when trying to enjoy vacation. Also, our host seemed to not be clear that we’d also paid for pick-up at the hotel (although very clear to me in the booking details) and it created a lot of back and forth messages on date of pick up. So seems like there could be up front discussion of location and then fees set only if the requested unique drop-off is less convenient for the host. If the “host” lives closer to your drop-off location than the airport, not sure why it needs to cost more. We didn’t need it for our entire trip and it was a few hundred dollars a day, so thought we’d save some money. We paid extra to have the car brought to our hotel versus picking it up at the airport. I wish I’d thought of this! The only improvement I can think of is pick up and drop off. I now would likely prefer this to a traditional car rental service, or at least will always compare prices and availability in locations with both rentals and Turo. I set up my profile and found a car I liked, and then everything went very smoothly on our trip. I couldn’t find a single rental car on the island a few months before our trip and asked friends for advice and one told me there was an app for cars similar to vrbo for houses. I used Turo for the first time on a recent trip to Kauai (Sept 2021). Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
