Turo (Formerly RelayRides)
Turo, originally Relay Rides, is a peer-to-peer automobile sharing service founded in 2009 in San Francisco, California. Local automobile owners, similar to the Airbnb concept, promote and rent their vehicles to drivers who desire to forgo the typical rental car experience. The firm went national in March of 2012 and is now accessible in over 4,500 locations and 300 airports across the United States. August Capital, Google Ventures, Shasta Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Trinity Ventures are among the leading investors in Turo.
Turo's rental sign-up process is simple, user-friendly, and flexible. To join up for car sharing, just sign in to your Facebook or email account and establish a Turo account. All you have to do the first time you hire a car is provide some general information, select a car, rental date, and time. You have the choice of declining extra insurance or purchasing the Basic or Premium option, which provide differing levels of physical damage and liability protection. All the renter has to do to obtain the car and keys is meet the Turo host and present them their driver's license. Some automobile owners may even deliver the vehicle directly to the renter.
