Why is Turo so much cheaper?

Turo is a peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace that lets car owners and enthusiasts rent their vehicles to others around the globe. The Turo marketplace, often called “the Airbnb of cars,” is an alternative to renting from a vehicle rental agency at an airport or anywhere you travel or need a vehicle.Where is Turo available?

Does Turo refund immediately?
If a host wants to cancel a booked trip, we encourage them to notify the guest via Turo messaging as soon as possible. Then they must process the cancellation through the Turo website or app. The cancellation is effective immediately, and the guest receives a full refund. Owners may cancel on you at the last minute — leaving you with no other options. A major downside that often goes overlooked is what happens if your Turo host cancels on you — even at the last minute. Unlike traditional rental car companies, Turo does not guarantee you a replacement at the same price.This is one of the most significant risks of booking with Turo: Hosts can cancel anytime. Sure, renters can get a full refund. But, they have no recourse for price hikes caused by that cancellation.If a host cancels a guest’s trip or is a no-show — that is, hasn’t canceled and doesn’t show up within within 30 minutes of the scheduled trip start — Turo will refund the guest in full. Funds from the canceled or no-show trip will be available for 24 hours after the cancellation so a guest can rebook their trip.
