These are all very good points regarding Turo.  From Frankie and everyone else who weighed in.  The daily cost is not the cost you will actually pay.  There are a bunch of fees they add in after you commit that might increase the price of the car per day by 20%.

You are probably going to have to do more work to get to the car and drop it off.

I am sure Turo vets people who put their vehicles on the app but I am not sure how effective this is.  If the reviews are consistently good, I would feel good about renting the vehicle.  I liked having easy access to the owner if I had a question about something (like how to pop the cover for the gas).

I was lucky in that in Vegas, the Turo cars are parked in a paid parking lot literally across the street from the rental car center.  So you can take the rental car bus to the center, with your luggage, walk across the street and get to your car.  The key was in a locked box in the car and the owner sent me the combo when I got to the car.  I did have to pay for the parking when I left the lot but it was like $3.00.  It was an open lot, not expensive at all.

Every Turo owner has a rating and yes, there are reviews for each car.  I would absolutely read them.  In this way, it is almost better than renting from someone like Hertz in that you can find out some car specific info before you even commit to getting it.

The prices for renting a car from the big companies are getting crazy.  It is nice to have other options.
