Turo's platform offers a vast selection of vehicles, with over 250,000 active vehicles listed by 125,000 active hosts as of June 30, 2022.
The service provides an alternative to traditional car rental companies, allowing users to rent unique cars from local hosts at affordable rates.

Guests can book any car they desire, from compact sedans to luxury sports cars, through Turo's user-friendly website or mobile app.
Turo's platform utilizes a dynamic pricing system, where hosts set their rental rates based on market demand. The company generates revenue by taking a commission from each rental transaction, typically ranging from 10% to 40% of the total rental fee, depending on the protection plan selected by the host. In addition to rental fees, guests may incur additional charges such as trip fees, young driver fees, and optional extras like unlimited mileage or prepaid refueling.
In April 2022, Turo confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO), indicating its intention to become a publicly-traded company. The company's revenue surged 207% year-over-year to USD 330.5 million in the first nine months of 2021, driven by an increase in the number of days booked and higher gross booking value per day. However, Turo reported a net loss of USD 129.3 million during the same period.
