Why Turo Is Quickly Becoming My Favorite Way to Rent a Car

"The Turo car rental app has made car sharing easy, affordable, and hands down the best rental option in one writer's mind. As these many pains dawned on me, a friend told me she'd recently starting using a rental car app called Turo. It's like Airbnb for cars, she'd explained to me in shorthand: Regular people put their cars on the app, at a rate they set, and you search until you find a price, size, and model that fits your needs. It's not limited to New Yorkers, either—the app exists in over 5,500 cities throughout the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. But the real appeal? Prices for cars started in the low twenties per day. As I was looking to drive from Brooklyn to Maine over a full week, the total price was comparable to renting a car through a major rental company for just a day or two."
