Top 10 Most Popular Cars on Turo [Power Host Reacts]

[@carrgip]

I found that people really want a car that looks good or one that they're familiar with. I have a Cadillac XTS and a Genesis 3.8 that books out every weekend.. I make about $1000 profit on the cars together. I'm also from Houston, so people are always looking for or needing a ride... Hopefully I can purchase better cars down the line so that I can make a bigger profit with less cars.. 8 to 10 cars is my limit..

[@carrgip]

@Crenshaw Grizz it's all preference bro! I'm from Houston and i only deliver to people that are coming in from out of town.. Don't really like giving my cars to people that stay in my city.. So to me a tracker isn't needed.

I’ve hosted over 8500 trips and it’s no surprise the Corolla is up there. Easy to own, easy to maintain and easy to rent. I’ve had over 20 Corollas listed on the platform and they’re always booked. I can get over $80 per day during peak seasons and adjust down during slow months. Very versatile car to have on the platform.

[@saimahsexperience]

That is amazing!! What market are you in? I’m blown away by how popular they are

[@mod5150]

Hawaii market. As a sedan it can seat 4 adults, great trunk space, and most renters are familiar with a small sedan. The maintenance is super easy and affordable and I just love renting out Corollas. Exit strategy is also simple because of the robust used car market for Corollas. They maintain their value so it’s not uncommon for me to rent a Corolla for 2-3 years and sell the car for 60-70% of my purchase price.

[@mod5150]

Sorry…Not uncommon.

Thank you for this! We just started on turo, but chose to go with a Honda Odyssey for a bit of a safer target market of families & only two months in but it’s doing well! Thank you for all your tips & tricks.

My Ford F-150 is a huge surprise for me where I am. This thing stays 3/4 of the month booked up if not more. I’m averaging 6/7 days a month the last 3 months where it isn’t used. Very happy and surprised of how often it’s booked and for long trips as well.

Watched your top 5 cars over and over , thanks for an update video just bought my first c7 because of you! 💯

[@saimahsexperience]

that's so awesome!!! Congrats on that!!!

[@adammrich6222]

I actually asked a lot of my renters why they like the corolla. They like it because it is literally just the most basic car. They know it's reliable cause it's a Toyota, they know it's fuel efficient (especially my hybrid version) and they know it's easy to drive. Alot of people don't want to figure out a new car cause it makes them uncomfortable especially since they will hardly be using it since they are on vacation.

[@TonyLuxuryCars]

Hello, my name is Tony from Louisville, KY. I'm the top Turo host in my city, I just started a year ago and now have over 1,200 trips, 17 cars fleet, and make over $300,000 a year! I would love to do a video with you and talk business!

I have listed two corollas 2012 and 2013, super easy to drive, Safe, Reliable, economical

[@XX-166]

The newer Corolla is efficient, great on gas, lower insurance rates and looks good and you can rent it for more days then some of the other mentioned higher end cars which longterm is better for the host and the renter.

[@cedriccorpuz2775]

Agree that’s my first and current car and barely see it !

[@frederickwalters2729]

My 2013 Toyota Camry was rented out 24 days last month October and I'm expecting the same or more this month. And my Ford Fusion hybrid 50 miles to the gallon and it did 19 days last month Its book for 21 days this month so far

[@simplediyr]

I own and have 3 Corolla’s on Turo. They do rent out a lot but out of the 8 I have on Turo my vans are my number 1 renters and money makers. I think it really depends on where you live. Florida is a vacation spot for families so that’s why my vans do better.

[@RiqRiq-up7eu]

I'm in Florida thinking about renting my cargo sprinter do you think it's a market for it

[@lubkuhu]

That's great to here and very true. Especially if you're in the theme parks areas.

[@lubkuhu]

If you don't mine ne asking, I was wondering did you purchase the vehicle under your business and PG them? Because there are so many gurus saying you can purchase a car simply with your EIN and no PG but wouldn't you need a payday score? How would you go about getting a vehicle with a brand new LLC to get started?

[@lubkuhu]

And what do you do about insurance? I know Turo takes a cut to cover the cars but how do you insurance the vehicles privately?

[@viajandodecarroporai]

Congratulations on the videos. I admire you as you are a very competent person. I'm going to rent a car at Turo, but I'm not sure if they can provide roadside assistance for a trip, with a phone number I can call in case of an incident. Maybe it would be nice for you to make a video looking from the guest side, as there aren't many videos encouraging guests to use Turo.

[@Knowmoneyknowlife]

@@gordeev6781 Tampa, FL it ranges after discount for $55-$75/day but average $64/day for the past 5months. I’ll be adding a Silverado I already have and will purchase another 3 vehicles(van, suv, and compact) to see how they perform. Will get business financing since I did put them under an LLC

[@Knowmoneyknowlife]

@@saimahsexperience it’s pretty strait forward and simple compared to other business models IMO. I select the option for long trips and long weekend trips so shortest trips are usually 3 days which allows me focus on my primary business and do this as a side hustle. Only con I can think of is that mines a 2019 which isn’t eligible for turo go which would be great since I do get 2am and 4am airport pick ups and drop offs occasionally .

[@MrBhatts3]

Great content as always Saimah! I have a Camry that was rented out at least 25 days every month from the summer up until November started and then it just stopped. I only have two short trips booked this month and one in December. Any advice?

[@bboyswoosh87]

Its probably just a bad month. You'll run into those situations a lot. If not you can featurre new amenities or change up the pictures.

Corolla , no shocks there …. There is always way more people who want affordability, than ppl who can afford luxury .:. Think Target stores vs Louie V stores.

[@saimahsexperience]

thanks for sharing that insight!

[@jins8144]

Your car matters for which customer target you’re going with. Luxury or sports cars are rented by locals and young people who wanna experience things they don’t have while big suvs and minivans are mostly rented by family trip people or people traveling from out of state. Cars will most likely get abused since people “drives like a rental”

[@lifewithoutboundaries4304]

This is for anyone to answer. How do you manage this turo business being a truck driver? How would I go about it?

[@saimahsexperience]

Hey Brian! you would definitely need help in this type of scenario someone who can manage the cars for you while you are away. Perhaps a spouse or family member.

[@daverenawhite6183]

My top performing vehicle on the platform happens to be one of my Ford Fusions, however. I was thinking about getting the Ford Mustang but saw too many inconsistencies with the rentals in my area.

[@devindavie2977]

​@@saimahsexperience Saimahi, Just want to say always incredible information and so informative, love your videos, watched them all and a huge fan. Power Host here and to add on to Crypto Joe's great query. What do you think about Uber Rent trying to enter the MarketPlace? I personally think they're stretched too thin trying to enter ever single marketplace, but their partnership with Avis, then eventually Hertz -Tesla Deal may have an impact. Seems this is the traditional rental car industries path to gain back their share of the rental market. Perhaps they have an impacts, but I think Turo has the edge of being the first mover. Thoughts?

Hey Saimah, do you use any Fastrak transponders? I know OC and LA have a ton of those express lanes, wondering if that adds value to your customers.

[@travism4512]

Better to have your cars registered on Fastrak, then have the renters reimburse you, IN my opinion. As long as you're already affiliated(membership), each vehicle Registered on your account will receive the membership rate for travel

Low-end cars give you low-end renters. And it one or two of those low-end renters to really screw everything up. Performance cars are another bad idea. I only do the big fat heavy EV's Model X Audi Etron.

[@Takeiteazy89]

That’s some what true about low end cars but you can weed out a lot of bad renters by increasing the minimum days allowed for your bookings. 2-3 days usually tend to flush out the high risk rentals
