Turo renter trashed my Tesla and stole the dashcam

[@kevinfernando3167]

Communication is key. If a guest does someone like this id blacklist them from ever renting my vehicle again.

[@GoHerping]

luckily rating a guest 3 stars or fewer automatically blacklists them from future trips

[@RamonMcNally]

The way she came out casually, got some stuff, lied, and was like, that's it. Still forgot her keys, and no apologies, just shows the type of person she is for real. No home training at all. Her home must be a mess as well. 😅

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

Yeah, like it's so inconsiderate to both Alex and the friend. I would be so apologetic and embarrassed and make sure I collected everything from the car, especially when Alex said he didn't mind waiting for her to do multiple trips.

At least the turo guests pay

[@VetteAction]

I just started Turo a month ago and it's going super well. I don't think I'd ever list a car that cost over $10k on it though. I bought a 2013 Honda Fit and list it for $40 a day and it hasn't had a day off yet. And I actually look forward to smokers, super easy to clean out and I can charge $150 everytime lol

[@GoHerping]

niceeee. that sounds like a great car for it. and if you ever decide to make vids, you could potentially double dip the revenue lol

I thought you would've held her keys ransom until she returned the flash drive.

i didn't mention in the video, but i didn't notice the missing hard drive til a few days later :/

[@Sheila-G]

I hope you have a separate insurance policy! Your personal policy excludes using your vehicle as a livery service, and if they do anything illegal or have a wreck, you can be held liable. Talk to an attorney if you're doing stuff like this to make sure you're ok. 😢❤

the turo car is commercially insured as well

[@Jacqueline888]

hey alex, a lot of uber eats drivers will provide something small like wet wipes with a little note “rate me 5 stars!” to ‘farm’ ratings. i’ve heard this technique really does work. i think you might be able to make this work for turo too, maybe you could purchase some cheapy sunglasses in bulk and give a free pair of sunglasses with a small tag that says “please remember to rate me!”. im trying to think of other good driving accessories that could work besides sunglasses. maybe a small keychain? whatever you choose, def buy in bulk online to minimize the cost (idk why im telling you this, you’re the numbers guy hahah)

[@ereynolds4637]

Man you’re too nice leaving chargers and stuff in there for the guests. Glad you’re not doing it anymore but I’m sorry you had to find out the hard way

[@Loslost]

I had one woman who ran a fleet of cars on turo. She messaged me after my drop off politely to leave her a 5 star review due to that reason. She had a family to feed so I understood. Honestly, I was going to give her 5 stars anyways because it doesn’t hurt not to lol she was an amazing host as well so why not? I washed the car and cleaned the interior better than I got it and filled it up- that’s how great she was!

Jeez dude Im finally caught up. Last thing I remember was you buying a house and your first Tesla. That whole story with the roommates is actually crazy and now this? Gotta respect the hustle

[@Mark-in-Texas]

Regarding the no rating equals a bad rating on Turo, perhaps try strategies to encourage them to rate you, such as asking them both verbally when they rent and perhaps a card placed in the car thanking them for choosing to rent with you and a request to leave a rating at conclusion of the rental, and maybe let them know that a no rating is a bad rating. For myself, I probably wouldn't bother leaving a rating, if I didn't know it had a negative consequence for someone. I'm glad you did the right thing, and got the keys back to the renter. These days, it seems that a lot of people would have choose not to be nice.

[@rare6213]

what about the dash cam stolen?!?!?!? if all turo renters are like this no one would make money being so kind

[@ben-TTR]

Aww man I'm sorry to hear that! I think that you should make the renters sign an agreement sheet that says they will return the car clean and if they don't there will be a fee. I don't know if Turo would allow that, but it sure would save you some greif. Keep up the great work Alex, I love your videos and I'm subscribed! 😊

[@MrMattMohler]

I'm a Turo renter. I always clean the inside of car, sometimes even the outside... (especially if it covered in bugs...) I also gather up anything like cables, tissues, stuff the hosts leaves, and put them in a compartment so I don't forget them.... Sorry about your bad experience.

I could recommend you plasti-dip spray those wheels so you can easily repair them when they inevitably get curbed.

[@TeenDream888]

they also make tapes as a cheaper alternative

[@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyy]

Plasti-dip will peel and look ugly

[@gvilla98]

This is frankly surprising… I guess some people simply aren’t raised right. One should treat other’s property the same or better than you would yours. It’s one thing to stiff a rental company but given that Turo’s primarily peer to peer… Imo, on the very least, one should refuel/recharge and carefully wash the vehicle. Hell I’ve even replaced a tyre because it was new and I scratched the sidewall with a curb avoiding a reckless driver.

[@theswampfisher3253]

I would always charge a cleaning fee if it was not clean and on top of it, you probably get charged that woman for destroying property

[@AragonTMP]

I don’t wanna sound nit-picky, I love your videos. But please consider cleaning that steering wheel 🤣 (Don’t worry, mine was just as bad). It shouldn’t be so glossy like that. That’s dead skin and other dirt interacting with the leather. It takes a lot of elbow grease to make it like new again, so again, don’t take this the wrong way 🙂

[@mrj-charles6383]

I see you are in NC also. I was at Tidal Wave Auto Spa and noticed you can purchase unlimited annual car wash passes there. Might be good if you have frequent renters. I would just use the basic wash package. Plus they have the vacums to use no extra charge.

[@TimeLagGaming]

[@ScubaSteveM45]

@GoHerping do you buy cars just to Turo them or are these personal cars you listed on Turo after the fact? I could conceivably do the former but the latter for me would be terrifying. I have a low opinion of the general public so no amount of money would make me ok with renting a personal car I had justifiable to me.

Sue her for what? He's got no evidence that she took the harddrive, just that somebody did, it could have been any of the guests Her only other "crimes" would be oversleeping and leaving her things in the car, and not charging the car. Neither of those are things you can sue over. If Alex really cared about the things being left behind he could have insisted that she removed them all before he took the car back, but he chose to be chill about it. The charging issue happens frequently with EVs on Turo and Turo has an established system for compensating the owners.
