Pros

Good future in car sharing / booking economics. Basic car insurance coverage offered.

Cons

Hosts loan their cars (on Turo's website) for a profit, to Guests who pay for the time they use the vehicle. I was scolded by a manager for telling a Host he should recall his car (on the road trip) due to badly needed wheel alignment (imagine he let go of the steering wheel on a highway). Then, another host lied to that manager about me and it got me fired. That host had insisted I promised to pay her an insurance claim in cash (10k - never!). The agent is always wrong, the profit is always right - and you lose your job if you're in the way of that.

Pros

I’ve been at Turo for over seven years, and that alone says a lot about how I feel about this place. I’ve learned so much here. I’ve grown as a professional, taken on real responsibility, made mistakes, learned from them, and been given the opportunity to improve and keep moving forward. This environment builds confidence and loyalty. The work is challenging in a good way. It has pushed me to think bigger and solve meaningful problems, and when you make progress, you can actually see the impact, especially on the government relations team. The people truly make it special, from the CEO to the CLO to my VP and Director. There’s strong collaboration, a sense of ownership, and a team that genuinely cares. I’m proud to be here and excited about what we’re continuing to build.

Cons

Like any growing company, it hasn’t always been smooth. We’ve been through ups and downs together, and that has built trust, but it hasn’t been without difficulty. We’re back in a hybrid model now, and while we’ve adapted well, change takes adjustment. We’ve also experienced departures and layoffs, which was tough because we lost some really good apples. That part was not easy. But even through those moments, the company has continued to evolve, and change has brought new opportunities and fresh energy.
