Definitely right on the money with trucks. Never again would I put my truck on Turo had so many dings and scratches all over my truck luckily I still turned a profit when I sold it but I’d definitely get back on Turo with a Camry or Corolla 😂
I have a diesel ram 3500 and was thinking of putting it on Turo but I don’t care if they use the truck for towing and hauling things. So where can I rent out the truck on? If Turo is not the place for that any other option?
Hi you mentioned in one of the videos that you started leasing instead of taking out a loan. How do you deal with the mileage on a lease like this ? Any info would be great 😊
There's another car brand I'd stay away from and that is BMW. They have high maintenance costs and high depreciation. For someone just starting out on Turo, I think almost any Toyota or Honda would be a pretty safe bet.
@@saimahsexperience thanks , already a Turo host and doing really well for quite some time . Would love to support your channel though . Maybe something to think about for ya
lol! what area are you in? If you are looking into the super car category I would recommend going a few notches lower and being in the "Corvette" range of cars. These do great!
@@saimahsexperience I was thinking about the new Vette first then moving up to a Rolls Royce Ghost and Hurrican thereafter. I'm in Dallas btw. Thanks for replying and you have a great channel!
Where do you store your cars? You said you've owned and rented 40+ cars. Did you have a warehouse for them? I'm curious because I'm thinking about doing turo
Great question so luckily where are used to live that area in general had a lot of open public parking and I would seriously just park my cars in the area. The thing was though that majority of the time most cars were out so I never had too many at a given time. Now if you’re thinking about a solution and parking isn’t readily available to you I would look into nearby commuter lot or partnering up with a local business that has plenty of parking.
I'm looking into a jeep gladiator. I live in NJ and there isn't a lot if off roading that goes on here. I think being a Jeep puts it into a different category even though it has a bed. Would you stay away from this vehicle in my area???
In general over the years I have seen the Gladiators really come down in day rates for most markets. NJ could be an exception idkl but I would recommend you look in the area to see how "trucks" are doing in general and that's going to give you a good idea.
Hi I just got started and started to rent out my 435i convertible and surprisingly its already getting booked up. How do I scale out my fleet since theres a limit to how many you can finance with your personal credit?
Do you think Porsche Taycan would be a good fit to list for Southern CA, since it's unique and maintenance cost should be lower than traditional Porsches?
Great question!!! This is the car I personally want as well so I've been really researching it. Right not cost of the Taycans are way too high and won't turn a margin (consistently) on Turo. Over time I think this is going to be winner on Turo perhaps is bought used or purchased at decent price. From what I've seen the current day rates Taycans are getting on Turo are too low.
Hey Saimah, I know you would never list a supercar, but how about something lower maintenance and well under $200,000 like a Lucid air? Is this something that makes sense or is it a bad idea? I seem to see many people listing Tesla model S/X on Turo, so it seems like something that makes sense to many Turo hosts?
I think cars like Lucid or Polestar types are going to be a good idea. One thing to note is that these cars are still very new in the general car market so it will take some time for people to become familiar with them. With that said sometimes newer cars like Lucid can start off slow on Turo until people learn about them. It's similar to when I had a 2013 Model S on Turo in the early days - not many people knew about Teslas so it took awhile for that car to really get busy with rentals.

lol! I'm glad I wasn't the only one experiencing this!
@@saimahsexperience definitely! Great video as always
Today I had a bright idea!!💡
I can list my Z71 Chevy silverado.. then I saw this video🤣😂.
Thank you so much!
Back to the drawing board.
Lol it can depend on the market but generally I would recommend not too :)
Great advice for us new hosts. Thank you.
I am in OC also looking to get my feet wet... thought about using a truck to start, your reasons echo my concerns! Thanks Saimah
I love watching Saimah’s videos about her TURO experience.
thank you for the kind words! :)

Thank you Saimah 💕
you're welcome :)
New Video Format: interesting and engaging thanks~!
thanks so much!!
Oh man sad to about Mercedes. I have 2 of the 2017 c300 coupe and 2021 GLB. Luckily not one of them has gone down because of recalls.
Hi you mentioned in one of the videos that you started leasing instead of taking out a loan. How do you deal with the mileage on a lease like this ? Any info would be great 😊
Just buy it out after and resell it
What about trucks in Hawaii?
What personal auto insurance won't drop you if you host on Turo?
Both Geico and Progressive told me it's unacceptable.
I live in va, I have a 2020 ford 150 xlt I want to use turo So the truck can pay for its self
Very informative as usual.. love it.
thank you!!!!!
Do you include vans in the same thought about trucks? Just listed my Chevy Express.
Vans actually do extremely well! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@saimahsexperience awesome thanks so much for the reply. so far so good!

Right on the money with trucks. Rented my Ford raptor on Turo and it was a nightmare. Wish I saw this before renting it out!
Yeah trucks are rough I wouldn't ever do it again.
Really good information!! Keep it up!! 💯
Appreciate it!
Another great video . Love your content . Packed with the best up to date information and of course you are beautiful!!!!
Thank you so much!!
@@saimahsexperience do you have Pateron or a supporters page as well ?
@@Bronco407 I do not. Just my private community that you can join through my site powerhost.club :)

Turo in Miami saturated, everybody and their mother got a car on Turo for 30$ a day, no money in it don't matter the make or model lol, zero money
Hello! I really want to start turo. However, I live about 50 mins from the airport in a town about 8,000 people. Is that a big problem??
Did you end up starting Turo?
Great information as always ✌🏼
Appreciate it!
Awesome video as always. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!
@@saimahsexperience you got an editor!?
@@UnderTheBar i did!
@@saimahsexperience that’s awesome! Solid thumb nails and the editing should help keep attention. Have you started to take over TikTok yet?
Would you consider the C8 a Turo super car?
A “Turo Super Car” is a great way to put it. Yes! It’s fantastic on the platform and appeals to a lot of people! One of my favorite cars I’ve hosted!
Great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
I got a convertible beemer last week. So far booked solid until sep 5th. Looking to lease another convertible now
yessss! what city are you in?
@@saimahsexperience just a couple of miles from you :)
There she is! Your cheekbones are better than ever!!🥂

I have a 1969 Ford Mustang that I wanted to rent out. Will Turo allow me to use their platform? And if not what's suggestions would you have?
Yes you can actually! They do allow specialty vehicles like you 69 Mustang!
If you don't mind me asking what exactly are the requirements for specialty vehicles? And is the insurance coverage the same?
Hi I just got started and started to rent out my 435i convertible and surprisingly its already getting booked up. How do I scale out my fleet since theres a limit to how many you can finance with your personal credit?
You have to start building biz credit under an entity! Videos coming on this soon!

How about a Cybertruck? I ordered 40 :)
All the way yes!!! I have one on order as well 🙌🏼
The Gallardo and huracana are very convenient maintenance cost...they daily driver build ...from Experience, from friends...
that's great to know! any particular year?

You said no benz. What about the smart car? 🤔 why did you turn away from them?
the smart car was long ago lol mainly just wasn't the type of car I wanted to have I wanted to compete in luxury category.
She is getting prettier and prettier every day. Kasme
Cough, cough write offs. Simple
Lol true!
Bmw is way worse than Mercs!
