Ok so I’ve spent the last few days researching this Turo business model looking at both the pros and cons of it. And I have heard more then a few stories where host say that have had there vehicle brought back damaged and that they found Turo almost always sided with the renters to avoid having to make the insurance payout. Now law of averages dictates that it’s not a matter of if but when and the degree of damages your vehicle will be subject too. How do you deal with those kinds of issues. And what are your personal experiences with Turo’s insurance payouts. I mean I can’t imagine paying them 40% of my take and when the time came and I needed them they would not take care of there business I think that would be a problem.

I host my 2017 Subaru WRX and a customer returned it with the clutch burned out . Cost 4000 in repair and Turo only paid half. It’s funny how I had the 70% plan and Turo only paid me 1800 for the repair due to a hidden clutch repair. I think it’s a scam for Turo to charge for insurance to the host and to the renter.

Renter killed both left tires and Rims on my Tesla Model 3. Those were the upgraded $2000 rims at Tesla Purchase. Got the car towed to Discount tire, but they dont have those matching rims. So Tesla would charge $2100 for 2 rims and tires incl all install. Turo 3 weeks later wants to only pay $1500 and asked me to negotiate the price down with Tesla? They only sell OEM wheels. How does the system work here? I mean with enough time I can get some cheap wheels from China to put on there. Why dont they pay what the shop asks for? This is not right.

Most insurance companies don't extend coverage to Turo because it is a car sharing program. So no coverage applies. However, I would say that liability coverage follows the driver, so that coverage will protect the 3rd party. Turo on the other hands has to cover the host. I heard State Farm may be an exception in that they will extend coverage to Turo.

In that case if the host files a claim of $2500, the guest has to pay turo $2500 while the host doesn't get any penny of it because of the host has the 85 plan which is $2500 deductible. So the turo eats the whole money for the repair. It's also ironic that turo charges young driver fee using your cars and as hosts don't get any money from that

@@alexrodriquez1327 it’s in the renters contract when they agree to rent on Turo. Turo has the right to personally sue them for the damages if the renter crashes the vehicle and does not have adequate insurance, however you are ALSO able to sue them for wages lost and expenses just like Turo. I do want to let you know Turo isn’t a fan of you sueing renters but I have done it twice now and won both times. There are some reason why Turo isn’t legal allowed to operate in the way the are. First they are not an insurance company they are a third party. Therefore your claim takes priority over there’s. Second if they would prevent you from sueing then Turo is now liable for all the damages. All Turo technically can do is ban you for breaking there terms of service they can’t prevent you from ever suing a renter. I do want to say my position is unique. My family owns a law firm and so I don’t pay for legal counsel. I am NOT lawyer I’m just summarizing the details.

My personal car insurance has a section that states they "do not provide liability coverage... Of your covered auto while enrolled in a Personal Vehicle Sharing program." The section repeats for uninsured, under insured motorist and "damage to the vehicle" coverages. I believe this is saying there is a hand off between the two insurance policies (yours and Turo's or Uber etc.) depending on how the vehicle is being used. The devil is in the details.. since this is a contract (the ins. policy) the word "while" should be defined but isn't.. precision in language is key here. Is the vehicle covered by your insurance if listed but not rented that day? Is it for a whole day or just the hours until the keys are transferred? I'm just starting to look into Turo so this is a question I need to ask for both my insurance company and of Turo.

So even if it’s their fault and they bring in my vehicle with damage. I pay out of pocket deductible? Any way I can get my deductible tho from the renter?
@alexrodriquez13272 жыл бұрын
Nope - that's the cost of doing business. It seems that the renter is untouchable because can you imagine how a bunch of pissed off renters go viral, which can negatively impact Turo's business.

So Do I even need another insurance if I’m only using the car for Turo? Like if I have the full coverage Turo insurance, do I need to still get insurance from another company personal wise ?

@lissettearencibia58522 жыл бұрын
Turo insurance is only active when the car has been booked. If your car is sitting in your driveway or on the curb and another car loses control and hits it, Turo is not responsible as the accident did not happen under a booking. Therefore, it's good to have your own insurance should something happen when the car is not booked.

So why the hell do they ask guest if they want to get insurance if we as the host will have to end up dealing with it? Are they trying to double dip ? 🤔 I’m confused. Great video, I did not understand the insurance & liability despite my research. I think I just didn’t want to believe it lol. Thanks for clarifying
@jamescc20102 жыл бұрын
Agree. Maybe if a renter buys an ins option, host doesn't have to file claim just get a car fixed by the renter's option. Agree seem to be double dip.
@alexrodriquez13272 жыл бұрын
@@jamescc2010 I think Turo is looking for low hanging fruit, so let the renter buy insurance. Turo may threat to go after Renter, but I don't see this really happening, as Turo insures the host, so Renter can allude to this fact that Turo is responsible and should not try to pass this responsibility to the renter.

It's like any rental company. You have to take insurance, if you choose not to then you need to pay a very high deductible if you damage the car.

Hi Saimah. Great Video. Quick question, when you refer to the damage repair cost of 1k or whatever amount, who determines that? Does Turo have an adjuster that comes out to check the damage or do we just go to a body shop to get a quote?
@cristianvidal13902 жыл бұрын
I believe it works the same as your own personal insurance company. Insurance companies will always send out an adjuster which it will appraise the values of the damages in about 80% accurate, so be prepared to receive less than the amount needed in order to fully repair your car. I am not on Turo however what I always do is, I drop off my cars to the ( branded dealership body shop) then they will contact the insurance so that the insurance sent an adjuster to the dealership directly. Insurance companies hate this procedure but that is legal. That secures me that my car will be out of the garage fully repaired no matter costs of the repairs.

My understanding is they still have to pay the deductible on the insurance they choose. And that money goes into turos pocket since the owner still has to pay their own deductible
@michaelanderson65143 жыл бұрын
Basically, turo profits off the damages. Turo collects as much as possible from the guest and the guest insurances, and reimburses the host as little as possible.
