The thing that really ticks me off is they removed your review. It's one thing to let him screw one person over, but then to basically set the trap for the next guy by removing the warning review makes it feel like a giant crime ring.

I’ve seen this happen with FCP Euro when they sold defective parts and I left a negative review. They removed it and the part still had glowing 5 star reviews. You CANNOT trust any reviews on the company’s own website because the control what is shown. Always check independent sources for everything. They’re in the business of making money, anything that goes against that isn’t in their best interest.

If Turo removed your review, that means Turo is as shady as the guy you rented from. Regardless if they eventually sided with you, that's shady removing a customer's review. So avoid Turo completely then.

[@cabobs2000]

Turo is weird too. Depending on the car owner's plan. Turo could collect money from a damage claim and if it's less than their deductible turo just pockets it. So strange

[@jasonatr0n]

I've rented a few cars from Turo. What I noticed is when renting a nice car (last one was a 992 turbo) after you book, they almost always say something like "well that car isn't available any longer, but if you rent from our site, you can get a better deal", so they send you through a non-turo site, I assume, so they make more money. It worked out, and we had a blast with the car, but overall a bit weird.

You have been saved by Turo from Turo. Real headaches begin when you actually do receive the rental vehicle

[@YachtsOnTheReg7]

Turo is garbage and now more expensive than the actual car rental companies. One time I rented from Budget rental car and backed into a curb which caused slight damage to the exhaust pipe. I didn't choose their insurance when I reserved the car so I fully expected them to file a claim with my insurance for the damage and they never did.

[@mtgusa]

I've personally experienced enough issues with Airbnb to stop using it for good and have heard enough bad things about Turo to stop using it as well. Big company hotels and renters are too big to care about minor things so they're my go-to for the foreseeable future.

[@likeablecloud2454]

The issue is the company has little to no say in the matter. Just that the owner of the cars are scummy. I mean I would say read reviews but one should be careful. And know what you are doing when you rent a car. Turo is better as in they let anyone rent a car or become a host but then again I'm I'm sure that causes the issues we see now. Also most people I know with a turo fleet have a manager who picks up and drives the cars to the pickup locations. There is bound to be damage in that and there is no way the owner will know if the damage is from the customer or the manager.

[@norskie9465]

I've used Turo several times with good results. But last summer we paid > $1200 for a two-day Jeep rental, easily double what we expected. The main issue was that we got a flat tire which the seller had repaired (replaced the tire) at the most expensive place possible: the Jeep dealership. It's also where he worked, go figured. We had the extra Turo insurance, but Turo convinced us to not make a claim because of an 15% fee (IIRC). In retrospect I've learned my ins. co. covers Turo rentals so I shouldn't have spent the extra $170 on it. But anyways, I'm not renting another Turo they have offer LDW policies similar to the major rental companies. Otherwise, the risk of incurring very high costs just isn't worth it.

Wizard going from "money money money" to "oh I owe you money" was the best part of the video. Also - from a guy watching all the US shenanigans from Latvia - when you rent a car from Turo (or any other rental you don't 10 000% trust) - take your high-quality DSLR camera, high-res camera phone or whatever else you can muster - and take a literal crapton of high-quality zoomable pictures BEFORE RECEIVING THE CAR - if it's delivered in person, preferably with the owner/rentor in the pictures, with the remaining pictures having the same date/time stamps on them. Photograph the bumpers, handles, lights, edges of the car, interior, seats, etc. Then - when you hand the car back - if all is good - you'll have 500 free pictures (you're not using costly film, are you?) to remember a great car/vacation by. If however the owner/rentor starts pulling any BS - you can immediately go "F off sumpitch, I got pics" - and make him screw off with tons of evidence. If Hovie had done this - he wouldn't have to pay anything - not even 78 bucks - and could just ridicule the rentor until the end of time. Anyway. Jeaolous of the kid's first car - well earned, little Breaking Mad. Best of luck from Latvia.

I was a Turo host with multiple (classic) cars for a while. I made good money on the platform and they treated me well, but I had issues with the renters I kept getting. Final straw came when one of my cars "stranded" a renter. Because they flooded the engine and cranked the starter until the battery died. They didn't pay attention when I was explaining a 1967 GTO isn't just the same as the Camry they showed up in. They complained, Turo refunded them, I didn't get paid and they deplatformed the car until I could show them a receipt from repair by an ASE shop. I moved my cars to the DriveShare platform which is a MUCH better fit.

I feel sorry that you had to deal with that owner. I’m a Turo Power Host with over 1,000 trips here in Las Vegas also. Here’s some tips to hopefully help everyone here if you ever rent on Turo. 1. If it’s your first time renting, rent from an All Star host. One with at least a few hundred trips. They will have a system down and probably won’t try to nickel and dime you. 2. Take your own check in photos every time. I recommend this with any rental company actually. This protects you. I believe most turo hosts are good. But just like anything else, you will run into some that are not. Its bound to happen in an open marketplace like this. Limit your risk by following the 2 tips above. And remember that the negative experiences are always louder than the good ones. Especially when social media is involved.

I knew it. I knew the minute you said the cts-v was being sold to another KZbinr it was Alex from legit street cars. I knew it immediately. So smug to see he bought it. Also can't wait to see it on his channel. He'll look after it good 😉

LSC in the house! I just came here from one of Alex’s videos! I bought a W211 E55 just like the one he had after seeing one of his videos over 3 years ago! I am a former import technician and watch yours, Alex and Wizard’s channels religiously (Doug and Tavarish too, when I catch them!) and you have saved me from buying a few wrong cars because of your reviews. On the other hand, it has also COST me money (in Alex and Tavarish case!) with AMG mods but at least they were nice enough to leave a discount code to VRP! 🤣Thanks for everything guys! #tavarish #legitstreetcars

I host turo from the Uk, honestly only had one issue were the guest completely damaged the door by accident. We went through Turo’s insurance and it got sorted, had plenty of other trips though and no issues it’s been great. I have 5 starts reviews and don’t try scam anybody.

[@bubba99009]

The trick with turo is to look at the total price (which is not what it sorts by) instead of the daily price. The fees are all within the control of the "host" and vary a lot. It can be cheaper to pay an extra $20 a day in some cases because of the fees. And always take lots of pictures and video. I'd also stay away from any high dollar vehicles - way way more likely to get scammed on something that rents for $150+ a day than something that rents for $35 a day.

[@Mythicregard]

I've had my share of issues with different Turos I've rented over the years. By far the most common issue has been getting cars with bald tires (always check the inner tread). I had one owner try to claim a car I rented needed a detail because the paint had water spots; mind you, it was rented in Oregon where it almost never stops raining. Credit to Turo that they didn't force me to pay to clean the spots that had likely been there for months or even years. No credit to Turo for allowing people to rent their unsafe cars to other people. Pictures of each tires' tread should be required to be uploaded to Turo every month or so in order to keep the vehicle up for rent on their site.

I rented an F type in Az and the car needed suspension work, the top stuck and was broken, wheels curbed and a ton of damage and wear on it. No drop off instructions and the guy took a nap for the last 4 hours and I couldn’t get info on the drop off. Turo was an experience that’s for sure

Hi. Just watched you on Leno's Garage. You came across very well, hope this adds to your ongoing success. Love the content

[@SalemTechsperts]

Small world. I was vacationing in Vegas around this same time and saw this listed. It looked too good to be true. I ended up trying to rent a GTR instead for "$298/day". After fees they wanted close to $1k. I got a cheap 2 series beater instead for around $200. I took about a hundred pictures before and after highlighting every single thing I could find since I've heard horror stories like this. I've used Turo about 10 times and have never had an issue, but stories like this sketch me out.

Epic first car for the guy. It's a modern classic. Hope he keeps it for life like Hoovie intends to do with his.

Big companies have been doing this with smoking charges too. Turn it into Hertz and a few days later there's a claim of smoking in the car, when you never did.

Congratulations on the Leno collab, Hoovie.

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

I’m surprised Turo charged you anything. The rule that was explained to me when I accidentally damaged a Nissan Rogue in hawaii (the wind caught the door as I was opening it and it slammed the door open so hard that a little divet was put in the metal where the door contacted the door hinge) was that if the damage is cosmetic and less than the size of a quarter, Turo doesn’t consider it damage that needs repairing. Though I was willing to invoke the insurance to pay for the damage to the rogue, Turo ruled that the damage didn’t need to be repaired and the owner left me a positive review

I stoped using Turo when I took an Uber to pick up my rental only to find out that the car was not there and had not been available for rent for several months. Turo never bothered to remove the car from its inventory even though the owner told me later they requested several times that it be removed.
