Turo

I’m actually 90% certain they are completely fake. They feel like an empty piece of plastic. My MIL passed down a car to my wife and I noticed she left hers in the car, tried to give it back and she said just throw it in the trash. She works for State Farm. It’s like putting up dummy security cameras.

No it actually works - you can see a GPS track of each drive. But the metrics (acceleration, braking, cornering, speeding) don't seem to have any effect on the discount.

I still don’t understand how someone with a McLaren, Bentley, Porsche, etc would give their car to some Jabroni for a few days just because their credit card cleared.

Same with vrbo and the like renting out your house. No thanks

I think Turo with a nice car is just asking for someone to come abuse your car. House rental might be risky, but most people are just looking for a place to stay, not looking to intentionally beat it up.

not like hed ever know, but maybe insurance requires that if hes going to rent it out?

or hes bluffing

The melted rear tires might say something.

I've had a State Farm tracker in my GT350 for years. Doesn't make much difference in premiums. They rely mostly on mileage - I think it's just a trick to get people to drive more "responsibly".

Part of the algorithm is age of owner. Over 87, rates stay flat.

This is what I picture happens to every sports car rented out on Turo

and how does this all work with your car insurance policy I wonder.

If its clear I rented out my personal car to some stranger and they damage or wreck it, what does the insurance company have to say about that - can't be good.

The vehicle age limit is not cool I’ve tried submitting my previous 2001 convertible manual m3 before and they said no.

For general and non special use, the rentals via airports are a lot more convenient.

That's weird considering they have all these clapped out toyota's listed in my area. I would think an '01 m3 would still have some demand...hell its only a few years away from being able to register as "classic" lol. I wonder if they consider manuals a liability. I could totally see some eager douche bag just grinding away your transmission trying to impress his date. I've watched valets stall my car over and over and just cringe.
