    The thing that really ticks me off is they removed your review. It's one thing to let him screw one person over, but then to basically set the trap for the next guy by removing the warning review makes it feel like a giant crime ring.

      I’ve seen this happen with FCP Euro when they sold defective parts and I left a negative review. They removed it and the part still had glowing 5 star reviews. You CANNOT trust any reviews on the company’s own website because the control what is shown. Always check independent sources for everything. They’re in the business of making money, anything that goes against that isn’t in their best interest.

    If Turo removed your review, that means Turo is as shady as the guy you rented from. Regardless if they eventually sided with you, that's shady removing a customer's review. So avoid Turo completely then.

      I've rented a few cars from Turo. What I noticed is when renting a nice car (last one was a 992 turbo) after you book, they almost always say something like "well that car isn't available any longer, but if you rent from our site, you can get a better deal", so they send you through a non-turo site, I assume, so they make more money. It worked out, and we had a blast with the car, but overall a bit weird.

      The issue is the company has little to no say in the matter. Just that the owner of the cars are scummy. I mean I would say read reviews but one should be careful. And know what you are doing when you rent a car. Turo is better as in they let anyone rent a car or become a host but then again I'm I'm sure that causes the issues we see now. Also most people I know with a turo fleet have a manager who picks up and drives the cars to the pickup locations. There is bound to be damage in that and there is no way the owner will know if the damage is from the customer or the manager.

    I've used Turo several times with good results. But last summer we paid > $1200 for a two-day Jeep rental, easily double what we expected. The main issue was that we got a flat tire which the seller had repaired (replaced the tire) at the most expensive place possible: the Jeep dealership. It's also where he worked, go figured. We had the extra Turo insurance, but Turo convinced us to not make a claim because of an 15% fee (IIRC). In retrospect I've learned my ins. co. covers Turo rentals so I shouldn't have spent the extra $170 on it. But anyways, I'm not renting another Turo they have offer LDW policies similar to the major rental companies. Otherwise, the risk of incurring very high costs just isn't worth it.

    Wizard going from "money money money" to "oh I owe you money" was the best part of the video. Also - from a guy watching all the US shenanigans from Latvia - when you rent a car from Turo (or any other rental you don't 10 000% trust) - take your high-quality DSLR camera, high-res camera phone or whatever else you can muster - and take a literal crapton of high-quality zoomable pictures BEFORE RECEIVING THE CAR - if it's delivered in person, preferably with the owner/rentor in the pictures, with the remaining pictures having the same date/time stamps on them. Photograph the bumpers, handles, lights, edges of the car, interior, seats, etc. Then - when you hand the car back - if all is good - you'll have 500 free pictures (you're not using costly film, are you?) to remember a great car/vacation by. If however the owner/rentor starts pulling any BS - you can immediately go "F off sumpitch, I got pics" - and make him screw off with tons of evidence. If Hovie had done this - he wouldn't have to pay anything - not even 78 bucks - and could just ridicule the rentor until the end of time. Anyway. Jeaolous of the kid's first car - well earned, little Breaking Mad. Best of luck from Latvia.

    I feel sorry that you had to deal with that owner. I’m a Turo Power Host with over 1,000 trips here in Las Vegas also. Here’s some tips to hopefully help everyone here if you ever rent on Turo.
    1. If it’s your first time renting, rent from an All Star host. One with at least a few hundred trips. They will have a system down and probably won’t try to nickel and dime you.
    2. Take your own check in photos every time. I recommend this with any rental company actually. This protects you.
    I believe most turo hosts are good. But just like anything else, you will run into some that are not. Its bound to happen in an open marketplace like this. Limit your risk by following the 2 tips above. And remember that the negative experiences are always louder than the good ones. Especially when social media is involved.

    I have rented Corvettes on Turo a couple times and I have never had an issue other than my total with fees being a couple by hundred dollars more than the original rental price. I rented a C7 Z06 for 5 days and I paid just over $1200. I think it was a fair price and I definitely enjoyed myself. I also went over on mileage lol.

    I've never used Turo. I've WANTED to use it...but everytime I find a car, there seems to be some kind of issue/cost, etc that makes renting it more of a pain than going to my usual National and just getting in what I want to drive. I've heard lots of these nickel/dime stories and yeah, the fees are silly. $96 for 2 days of "standard insurance" no way. So now I'm like....what's the point if I'm going to get scammed on fees. Same thing for Airbnb, which I have used, but if the host charges outrageous fees, I don't rent it.

    In Vegas it is not just Turo doing that lots of car rental companies do that also. When I pick up I video a walk around with attendant make sure you get around the trunk and under the bumpers and the door sills. They try to get you say you parked over a curb and when you backed out scratched under the bumper where there is a ton of scratches or around the trunk on top of bumper say you dragged a suitcase over it and inside the doors saying you dragged you feet over and scratched. Oldest trick in the Vegas car rentals.

But it takes a big person to apologize like that. I had a very similar situation with a vehicle I bought several years ago, except for the fact that I didn't have a CZcams channel with millions of subs. Lol. But I blamed the guy for not disclosing a few things and it got back to him. And he immediately called me and explained that he had no idea about the issues and I completely understood it. So I did apologize.

    The trick with turo is to look at the total price (which is not what it sorts by) instead of the daily price. The fees are all within the control of the "host" and vary a lot. It can be cheaper to pay an extra $20 a day in some cases because of the fees. And always take lots of pictures and video. I'd also stay away from any high dollar vehicles - way way more likely to get scammed on something that rents for $150+ a day than something that rents for $35 a day.
