Your Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Turo Host (With Expert Coaching Tips)
Interested in launching your own Turo business? Becoming a Turo host is a great way to generate extra income, offset car expenses, and even build a profitable side hustle. With average earnings of $906/month per vehicle, many hosts are turning Turo into a full-time business.
Whether you're looking to start with one car or build a fleet, this guide breaks down the essentials of getting started—and if you want to fast-track your success, Turo coaching can help you avoid costly mistakes and scale faster.
Step 1: Sign Up and Create Your Profile
Start by visiting Turo.com or downloading the Turo app. Signing up takes about 10 minutes. You’ll provide:
Basic personal details
Driver’s license verification
Info about your car
💡 Turo Coaching Tip: Make sure your vehicle meets Turo’s requirements (typically under 12 years old, clean title, and in good condition). If you’re unsure if your vehicle qualifies—or want help picking the right one—a coach can guide you through vehicle selection based on ROI.
Step 2: List Your Vehicle
Your vehicle listing is your storefront. Focus on:
High-quality photos (aim for at least 10 well-lit shots)
A clean background and angles showing the interior & exterior
A detailed description with features like MPG, tech, cargo space, and extras
💡 Turo Coaching Tip: Listings that include extras like chargers, car seats, or dash cams stand out more—and they can boost your earnings. Turo experts often use bundled packages and descriptions that drive more bookings. Want help setting that up? Let’s chat.
Step 3: Set Your Pricing
Turo offers two pricing models:
Automatic Pricing: Adjusts your price based on market trends
Manual Pricing: You control the rate and adjust for weekends, holidays, or events
💡 Turo Coaching Tip: New hosts often underprice or overprice their vehicles. I help my coaching clients find the sweet spot for maximum utilization—typically 75–90% per month.
Step 4: Manage Availability and Booking Settings
Key settings include:
Calendar Availability: Keep it up to date to avoid cancellations
Advance Notice: Set how much time you need before a trip starts
Trip Duration: Choose the minimum and maximum trip lengths
💡 Turo Coaching Tip: Lowering your advance notice to 1–2 hours can skyrocket last-minute bookings. With the right systems in place, this becomes easy to manage—even with multiple cars.
