The basics

What it is and how it works

List an eligible UK-registered car, set availability and price, approve guests. Hosts choose an earnings plan (UK plans commonly keep 65% or 75% of trip price with different excesses — confirm live host terms).

Where the money comes from

How the model works

  1. You list what you own
  2. Renters pay to borrow it
  3. The platform pays you, minus its fee

Honest numbers

What you could realistically earn

Highly variable by car, city and utilisation. Turo does not guarantee income. Factor insurance excess, cleaning and wear.

No reliable monthly figure is published for Turo. What you make depends on what you have and how much you put in, so we don't show a scenario chart.
