Guess it's the Uber of car rentals where owners provide their personal vehicles up for rentals. Looking for a minivan for the long weekend and the typical rentals are booked up.

So anyone have experience with it?

Not directly, but I know friends who have used it and generally had good experiences. I've also heard stories of last-minute cancellations so take it with a grain of salt. Like most peer-sharing networks, look for providers with lots of good feedback.

I have, won't again. Owners were anal about every flaw and pickup drop off was a pita. One guy even had his ride cancel I had to take him to work.

Rented a manual 650HP Z06 in Vegas with no issues at all. The owner measured the tires and said don't do a burn out. Took the car to the desert and had lots of fun, gave it back and continued the trip.

Many car insurance providers know about Turo now and insure it as they would any normal rental car with your policy.

I signed up to rent over the long weekend, will see how the experience goes.

Lots of trusting people out there, saw may Corvettes listed, lots of Boxers and a few F-Types to name a few vehicles.

Guess it's a good way to supplement the car payments but not something I would do with my own personal beaters.

Isn't the owner's insurance the one on the hook? They can't go after someone's insurance if they don't got one. We should get 20 people and all chip in for the lambo. Gang rape that shit.

My dad use to go for test drives (civics, accord) when 5 spd was readily available. That’s how I learned to drive stick :p

That’s why I will never buy a demo.
