Understanding Turo: The Car-Sharing App Linked to Recent Incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas

Reported 3 days ago

Turo is a car-sharing app founded in 2009 that has become the largest of its kind in the U.S., allowing individuals to rent out their vehicles to others. It gained notoriety following its involvement in two deadly incidents on New Year's Day in Las Vegas and New Orleans. The app facilitates convenient and low-cost vehicle rentals, operating similarly to Airbnb for cars. Turo aims to optimize the use of 1.5 billion vehicles globally and has recently announced a partnership with Uber to expand its market reach. Users must undergo a vetting process to rent vehicles, but Turo has clarified that it cannot predict or control renter behavior.
