It's how things have been done for ages and why our progress as a whole has been so stunted. Thankfully the public is becoming increasingly aware of how we have been getting duped and not allowing established corporations to dictate the pace of change.
It’s not a better idea necessarily. It’s not true competition (which is what capitalism is about) since rental car companies get taxed too. Once Turo starts getting taxed, or rental companies stop getting taxed, only then will it be true free market competition.
Okay lol yeah, but those regulations are the only reason a good idea like turo can flourish, otherwise the rental industry would choke them out with a monopoly. Besides that, you’re ignoring the tax subsidies that the rental corporations get.
The messed up thing is when big companies have to lower prices, it's the little guys at the bottom who suffer first. You think a CEO is going to give up his million dollar bonuses? Better to just lay off some employees and cut other's salaries...
Turo: Does not have unlimited mileages (bad for long road trips) Does not allow one way (you can only drive around town) Does not offer collision waiver (you can destroy a rental car from Hertz with waiver and pay nothing but not Turo, even full coverage requires you to pay) Does not inspect or maintain their cars (some owners are lazy and car condition varies) Does not have certainty and the reservation can be either canceled or changed (no grab and go technology) Dose not offer standard corporate check in (different owners have different attitudes about your licensing requirements)
My car was totaled on Turo about 3 years ago. Turo took 3 months to finally get things straightened out. They were using a very shady insurance company at the time “the Littleton group”. They advised me that’s in one of the luckier ones, cars were totaled and stolen almost daily.
neato07 I’m sure most of the Uber rides I’ve taken were a loss for the drivers, who often don’t account for the full cost of ownership. I suspect Turo is the same scam.
@@CarlosRodriguez-hb3vq Multiple people are in the comments here talking about this exact thing happening to them when they rented their cards out on Turo. It's basically the business model. Place all the burden that was a traditional expense for businesses (fleet maintenance), and just put that burden onto your 'hosts'... including taxes and fees, expenses, cleaning, wear and tear, and then stick the money you get from the difference in your pocket.
Absolutely that could be true if you're doing this with personal vehicles and using ur personal finances. But if you were to get an llc get business credit and get cars that way......
it's not just governments. many of these fees are voted into existence by locals who wants tourists to pay their taxes for them. "Need a new sports arena - vote yes on Issue 3 this election".
Of course rental agencies will be mad. Turo is simply more efficient. Rental agencies are jealous, and jealousy inevitably turns to anger. If anything, car rental agencies should view Turo as competition and try to improve their own product rather than squash their competitor.
Car rental companies don’t have access to venture capital willing to get soaked for the vague promise of unlimited profitability through establishing a platform monopoly
I have a really bad experience using Turo. If everything is following the best (and only) scenario, things are great. The first time something goes off script, you are screwed. The support doesn't work properly and you get charged A LOT extra.
Aren’t they kinda competing with Lyft and Uber too? I know when I went to Hawaii for vacation, I mainly just used Lyft to go somewhere far otherwise I would just use the bus to get around. I didn’t want to drive
Loved using Turo when I travelled to the States last year. Easy and way cheaper. This guy picking up from a car park and taking a selfie seems to be making it harder than it is. A lot of options I saw had pickup from the airport kerb from the owner. I got a vehicle after a couple of days of already being in Dallas for a wedding and it was as hard as ordering an Uber to go meet the owner and pick up the car.
There are many similar companies in Europe. It's great for people who live in the cities. I sold my car years ago because I often spent up to an hour waiting for a parking spot when I used it. Now I use my bicycle or electric rental scooters for the city, electric cars for up to 6 hour projects, and private Turo-style rentals for almost everything else. Works out cheaper for me and is more flexible.
Car rental is the worst customer experience you can get. They never have the car you booked, they force you to buy insurances you already have, they try to charge you for scratches that were already there. We said no insurance and the guy kept giving us the paper to sign with insurance... and this happened more than once. We rented 1 car every year for the last 10 years, and it's been arguying all the time just to get what we booked for. I wish the whole car renting business would go bankrupt.
the other big issue with car rental companies... HUGE deposits.. not feasible sometimes and if they figured out a way to bring that down maybe they'd be a bit more competitive with Turo companies alike
Be very, very, very careful if you rent a vehicle through Turo or any other "rent from owner" . If you get into an accident, it will be a nightmare dealing with your own insurance company. Turo makes it seem like you have collision coverage, but you really don't. Insurance companies will tell you that the owner of the vehicle's insurance is primary. Buyer beware.
What happened to the invisible hand of the market argument? Companies immediately start whining when they face real competition. I can´t wait till this happens to the airline industry.
we have a few car dealers that sell you a car with a guaranteed buy back so if you are staying for a month or two its the cheaper than hiring, but a lot of back packers buy a cheap station wagon or van, use them as a camper and dump them at the airport when they leave, as insurance is not compulsory and you can pick up a pretty reasonable vehicle for 1000-2000 privately, and they dont use hotels motels or camp grounds, its a cheap holiday , buyers have to do the name change on the vehicle, most dont bother so no tickets get paid either if the seller does their part
Renting your car out like this is a bad idea. If a thief decides to steal it, even if you know where it is, the cops won't go after them until you give them 10 days written notice. On top of that you are in a grey area in the law where it isn't really considered a theft.
screw the rental companies. When I flew into Denver and New Orleans and tried to get a rental car, it was huge headache. Most companies wouldn't even let me rent one because I was 22 at the time. But you know who did and for way cheaper? Turo.....
Just like Uber, Lyft, AirBNB, DoorDash etc. Conpanies teying to skirt the law, avoid paying taxes and regulatory fees, avoid permits and make everyone a contractor to avoid paying the real cost of hiring employees. You can have some massive profots when you don't own the cars, don't pay the same taxea as competitors and don't pay workers comp and don't offer benefits.
Competition is great, but this doesn't sound like a sustainable model. I'm assuming that all responsibilities fall on the car owner, and I'd want to have a careful look at their host's insurance policy.
Here in Brazil we have similar apps like Turbi, it's a world trend. Not to mention Toyota here is testing out their own rental service, which would cut the middle man and make prices better for better cars... It's inevitable, just a matter of someone creating an app that will stick and spread, like Uber for rental.
After Air BNB came out and these giant car rental corporations couldn’t think to do something similar with all the extra cash for RnD. Guess what buddy, your fault.
Don't know much about Toro, but Airbnb prices are not cheap by any stretch of imagination. It is pretty close to those of hotels (2-star). Unless you are rent an entire house or apartment, there is not much advantage going with Airbnb.
Tiro will likely keep prices/rates affordable to build consumer dependency, just like Lyft, and later Uber, not to mention AirBnB. Once they have a stronghold, they will increase rates to match other rental agencies, and cut compensation to car owners. No corporations, even if small, will become big and greedy.
Fees (other than sales tax) amount to 52.46. The government and quasi government agencies simply cannot resist getting some action. I wonder what a vehicle license recovery fee, and customer facility fee, really are, other than a way to quote a lower price, then jack it up at the counter. If I wasn't "adventure" adverse, I might just look into something like this.
Turo is not directly competing with rental firms yet. Because majority of those on vacation these days are boomers and they still rent the old fashion way. Turo is for the younger generation that prefers renting a niche or specialty car. Like Doug Muro who frequently rents on Turo looking for that rare car to post his experiences on RUclips.
I don't see Turo lasting tbh. It is a great and interesting idea but long term I don't see it working. Like uber or airbnb. Regulations will break them in the end.
Why would someone sane let someone rent their car and trash it with their bad driving? Also, how is TURO response when something happens to the vehicle? Who assumes responsibility?
Got to Vegas from Cali to pick up a rental from Axis for $600 for 3 days ...... didn’t have a credit card so I downloaded turo app and rented from someone locally for $200 for 5 days. Never renting from any established corporations again 😛🤘🏼
In my country traditional rent places post there cars on Turo and when you want to rent it takes you to a rent place and you don’t get too choose your car that you chose on the app and a way higher price
Turo is expensive. A basic Nissa. Versa costs $40/day after taxes/insurance (cause your credit card doesn't cover you) and cars are 5 years old, high mileage, and have limits. I can get a nice Tahoe at avisnfor the same price
Turo is definitely the way to go at the moment, if you're tech savvy and smart enough to read the fine prints. I can definitely foresee a change in the future due to its success, but also the host sometimes get screwed over.
Turo is far better. I’m 24, no tickets or accidents yet I can’t rent (without a hefty fee) a rental car. Turo saves me on average $150 every time I rent
Easy to use app, huge selection of vehicles at all price points and great pricing. And I don't have to go to the airport to pick it up. Lots of options if you want to try something out for a couple of days before buying.
Not sure it will survive it long run. Unlike Airbnb, car lost it value over time. Also, self-driving car is coming. They aren't only compete with traditional car rental, but car calling as well.
The car I rented from them has a bad transmission and the car went down on me .. when I called the owner he screamed at me and said don’t call me this time! It was afternoon idk when should I? Also a previous car I rented the owner was very angry and it was her fault she put an incorrect address Customer service is very bad and they don’t know anything
Left out of this video is all the upselling, hidden fees, and bait-n-switch you get from traditional rental car companies. So eff them. I hope Turo outs them all out of business.
Just as I would rather stay in a hotel than stay in someone's nasty house, I would rather rent a car from a rental place than rent someone's nasty, raggedy car.
I used use AirBnB and just like my recent experience with Turo it quickly becomes to be intrusive and a hassle. I see these services as fringe and I seldom use them anymore. I also wander how long tax collectors will allow these concessions to go untaxed?
Problem is that traditional renting comes with all sorts of government regulated taxes which makes it more expensive. Turo will not charge you for those taxes and it can be cheaper. If would be fair if government would back off completely on both sides, and then it would be a real competition
Big companies hate the free market. Thats why the owners of pretty much all the biggest companies vote left. They cry for regulations, they write those rules, then the small competitors can't afford the compliance and the monopoly is locked in. The free market is the enemy of big lazy companies and the best for small entrepreneurs starting out.
Dlanod Pmurt well said. Established companies love regulations, to keep the market cornered for them, rather than adapt as they would have to in a real free market.
Same like Uber - as far ppl that rent their car without same government req, taxes that rental companies have - "competition" is very bad choice of words.
Rental companies are a joke, they charged me $300 for a 3 day rental including insurance and they won't let me rent a minivan or anything because I'm under 25. I used turo for a big group trip for 4 days and rented a minivan with insurance for 150 bucks
@@sweetaddictiontoawesomenes6831 damnit, alright I'm actually 3 years old. I don't know how to type and I've just been mashing random buttons which so happen to form coherent sentences
My country was also quite receptive to private-hire due to gripes with traditional taxis e.g. long peak-hour surcharge periods (0600-0930h & 1800-2400h, even on weekends too for some taxi operators), >10 different flag-down rates (as the 4-5 operators in my country standardise their respective fleets to different car models, each with a different rate)
Heaven forbid we find a cheaper, better, more distributed, and smarter way to do things. Wait till the cronies come out with more regulation. Turos response at 5:57 says it all
These large companies are upset because they actually have to provide a necessary service now and price competitively not just benefit from a lack of competition. (even though a ton of rental companies exist, they all operate and price essentially the same way creating very little true competition)
If the airport authorities are charging rental car companies out the nose for the right to operate at airports, why shouldn't Turo be subject to the same conditions?
Mike Gaskin because Turo needs no physical presence. Here in Madrid a local car sharing company has partnered with the airport. I can use one of their cars to get to or from the airport. They are all electric Renault Zoes. I drop it Infront of my house and forget about it. It's faster and cheaper than a taxi or even the metro if it is 3 of us. And the airport gets 7 Euros per rental. I think that is fair. Turo could do the same.
Kathleen Henson your already driving a strangers car when you rent from a rental company. Is not like you personally talked to the owner of the company, and most likely just the cashier in there.
I rented a Maserati Ghibli for the Same price I get for renting a Jeep Cherokee and when it's holiday season forget about even getting a car prices quadruple in the car rental indistries. Not on turo.
Nah just like what happen to uber/ride sharing and airbnb, the competition would just pay lobbyist instead of competing with the new companies in their market.
@@Danny103 lol this happen to my friend and I. We rented a camaro SS when the redesign first came out (circa 2010) it cost us like around 400 for 2 days from Hertz. When they walked us out to the car I noticed right away it was a v6 (no brembos, smaller wheels, badging). They tried to play it off like it was the same thing. I told them to refund me if they didn't have the SS (I had reserved it ahead of time) and low and behold they were able to find the only one left on the lot.
Off peak season renting or somewhere where you don’t have many tourists wanting to drive...otherwise no way you can get that price. I was in Hawaii during the summer and was told a 2017 Vette would cost $250 per day to rent
Well, you gotta know about your cars too....someone at the Hertz counter tried to gave me a charger v6 and told me it's the new Hemi....I let him know I know a thing or two about cars and I ain't your average renters....lol....he then said it was his mistake blah blah blah....
Remember, if you can't beat 'em... lobby your local representatives in an attempt to make what they do illegal.
And also remember, lobbying is just political speak for “Legalized Bribery”.
If ya cant beat em, criminalize em!

Okay lol yeah, but those regulations are the only reason a good idea like turo can flourish, otherwise the rental industry would choke them out with a monopoly.
Besides that, you’re ignoring the tax subsidies that the rental corporations get.
Oh no market competition lowering prices those poor executive bonuses.

Oh no we can’t innovate or change, lets stop it!
Brainwashed people go along with this type of thing- they can’t think for themselves and just say yes to anyone they think is smarter than them
Tax evasion is not innovative.
Its not innovating. Lyft and Uber is innovating this is a person by s t trying to make a buck you could potentially drive up insurance rates
I can't wait for the yard signs around neighborhoods: "Cars are for owners not vacation rentals"
People hate change!
When you pay more for taxes and fees than the actual use of the vehicle, that's a huge deal breaker for me. I went with turo.
Competition: *Exists.*
Rental companies: REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Turo:
Does not have unlimited mileages (bad for long road trips)
Does not allow one way (you can only drive around town)
Does not offer collision waiver (you can destroy a rental car from Hertz with waiver and pay nothing but not Turo, even full coverage requires you to pay)
Does not inspect or maintain their cars (some owners are lazy and car condition varies)
Does not have certainty and the reservation can be either canceled or changed (no grab and go technology)
Dose not offer standard corporate check in (different owners have different attitudes about your licensing requirements)

just like uber, turo takes all the profit and lets morons take all the risk for a nominal fee and people eat it up.

Technology and Innovation will always disrupt the old ways of doing things and I say... Good, let the old way die.
Well, the best outcome would be to have the older folks accept the change or try to be a bit more competitive.
Of course rental agencies will be mad. Turo is simply more efficient. Rental agencies are jealous, and jealousy inevitably turns to anger. If anything, car rental agencies should view Turo as competition and try to improve their own product rather than squash their competitor.

Turo is a huge pain. Got charged for tickets I didn’t cause. Had to detail interior unlike at the rental company. Avoid.
If someone rented your car and got tickets, you can submit repayment requests through the app.

@@user-jc2ez6ig5z true. But with all these giant companies being bffs with government officials and politicians it will never be
Big companies hate the free market. Thats why the owners of pretty much all the biggest companies vote left.
They cry for regulations, they write those rules, then the small competitors can't afford the compliance and the monopoly is locked in.
The free market is the enemy of big lazy companies and the best for small entrepreneurs starting out.
Dlanod Pmurt well said. Established companies love regulations, to keep the market cornered for them, rather than adapt as they would have to in a real free market.
*"Unfair competition"??? NOW YOU KNOW HOW MOM AND POPS FEEL.... Cry me a river with your 10 figure companies...*
That's a good sign if your competition is angry
basically intel
Turo is the best. I live on st pete beach and have rent sports cars and suburbans for dirt cheap compared to enterprise.
Same like Uber - as far ppl that rent their car without same government req, taxes that rental companies have - "competition" is very bad choice of words.
disruption of the industry, that's what I like
No, it's not. It's unfair. Hertz gives me what I want when I go there.
Rental companies are a joke, they charged me $300 for a 3 day rental including insurance and they won't let me rent a minivan or anything because I'm under 25.
I used turo for a big group trip for 4 days and rented a minivan with insurance for 150 bucks
I don't think so, i bet you're not even 21 , but hey say it again and again, maybe wil make come tr

they're crying just like the Taxis did with uber
Taxis taxes Texas
It has the same issues where the company is taking advantage of stupid people (i.e. the people renting their cars on Turo and the Uber drivers).
My country was also quite receptive to private-hire due to gripes with traditional taxis e.g. long peak-hour surcharge periods (0600-0930h & 1800-2400h, even on weekends too for some taxi operators), >10 different flag-down rates (as the 4-5 operators in my country standardise their respective fleets to different car models, each with a different rate)
maybe. but i personally like the rental car right in the airport garage. i don't want to go far to get my car.
@@u235u235u235 Most Turo owners position their cars very close to the airport if not at the airport and you can always request it be brought to you.
Once it becomes successful, the taxes will be applied.
Yep
Bingo. That train🚆is never late.
All good things must unfortunately come to an end
running a business requires one to do so!
@@riptorable yes but will be so widely used the taxes will be pretty minimal ....
Heaven forbid we find a cheaper, better, more distributed, and smarter way to do things. Wait till the cronies come out with more regulation. Turos response at 5:57 says it all
They are the same hypocrites who hate regulation on fair pay.
These large companies are upset because they actually have to provide a necessary service now and price competitively not just benefit from a lack of competition. (even though a ton of rental companies exist, they all operate and price essentially the same way creating very little true competition)
If the airport authorities are charging rental car companies out the nose for the right to operate at airports, why shouldn't Turo be subject to the same conditions?
Mike Gaskin because Turo needs no physical presence. Here in Madrid a local car sharing company has partnered with the airport. I can use one of their cars to get to or from the airport. They are all electric Renault Zoes. I drop it Infront of my house and forget about it. It's faster and cheaper than a taxi or even the metro if it is 3 of us. And the airport gets 7 Euros per rental. I think that is fair. Turo could do the same.
You're joking right? They're litteraly stiffing the Federal government by not paying sales Tax on transactions and the like.
The car rental companies are a ripoff screw them.
Kathleen Henson your already driving a strangers car when you rent from a rental company. Is not like you personally talked to the owner of the company, and most likely just the cashier in there.
I rented a Maserati Ghibli for the Same price I get for renting a Jeep Cherokee and when it's holiday season forget about even getting a car prices quadruple in the car rental indistries. Not on turo.
No ..they’re not really. They’re easier to deal with then Turo..and cheaper...go look a customer complaints
I prefer unlimited miles and the attached owner not saying i can't eat in their car though.
check out getaround
Rental car companies should step up their game. And not complain.
Nah just like what happen to uber/ride sharing and airbnb, the competition would just pay lobbyist instead of competing with the new companies in their market.
Hertz has a $300 hold on your credit card when you rent.
They are just mad because they didn’t think of the idea of making money using other people’s cars.
Bingo. Or reinvest their earnings into Tito like an intelligent investor would.
Oh, they should complain. Rental car companies have more regulations and taxes imposed on them. Turo this man is a bump mafia man.
My dad and I rented a Camaro SS convertible for $99 a day. Can’t beat that for the price, not forgetting that amazing 455 hp V8.
@@Danny103 lol this happen to my friend and I. We rented a camaro SS when the redesign first came out (circa 2010) it cost us like around 400 for 2 days from Hertz. When they walked us out to the car I noticed right away it was a v6 (no brembos, smaller wheels, badging). They tried to play it off like it was the same thing. I told them to refund me if they didn't have the SS (I had reserved it ahead of time) and low and behold they were able to find the only one left on the lot.
Off peak season renting or somewhere where you don’t have many tourists wanting to drive...otherwise no way you can get that price. I was in Hawaii during the summer and was told a 2017 Vette would cost $250 per day to rent
Well, you gotta know about your cars too....someone at the Hertz counter tried to gave me a charger v6 and told me it's the new Hemi....I let him know I know a thing or two about cars and I ain't your average renters....lol....he then said it was his mistake blah blah blah....
Costco/Alamo gave that same car to me in Hawaii $260 for 4 nights
Ofcourse it cAnt beat that price .. privates don’t have any expenses as to employees , facility rent, utilities , etc . It’s like Airbnb vs hotels...
