Our take
Turo is the world’s largest car rental marketplace. The comparisons with AirBnb are obvious but not unfounded - ‘hosts’ make their cars available to ‘guests’ who benefit from short-term rentals without the cost of purchasing their own automobile.
The startup has reinvented the car-rental marketplace, previously dominated by incumbents like Avis. By allowing users to rent directly from the car owner themselves, Turo is bringing transparency, efficiency, and liquidity to the industry while hosts earn additional income.
Perhaps one of the biggest challenges the company needs to overcome is similar to those that plagued other major sharing-economy companies like Uber - regulation. Specifically Turo faces disputes over bad-faith hosts and from incumbent players, especially regarding airport use. Since its 2022 IPO, Turo has been eyeing further global expansion and targeting a series of strategic acquisitions and partnerships which will expand its product suite for hosts and guests alike.
