Usually if they are not approved to drive either they just created the account and it’s taking them time to verify ID, or this person has had issues with other trips in the past and Turo revokes their approval. Hosts must ask guests via Turo messaging for explicit, written consent to turn on any device, including an OEM-installed camera or aftermarket dashcam, that records the interior of the vehicle during a trip. If a guest doesn’t consent, the host is prohibited from turning on the camera during the guest’s trip.If a guest keeps a host’s vehicle past the scheduled end time without their approval via the Turo system, the host may charge for additional usage and related fees, and we may void the guest’s protection plan.
