Rental Car & Carsharing Hosts

Turo Gives You a Listing. Google Maps Gives You Direct Bookings at Zero Commission.

Turo takes roughly 25% of every trip and owns the guest relationship — and with Getaround gone, it's the only national platform left. We help you escape that commission by owning your demand off-platform: a Google and Apple Maps presence that ranks for "luxury car rental near me," and a commission-free direct-booking site that turns one-time guests into repeat customers who book you directly.

Every trip you book through Turo hands a quarter of your revenue to a platform you don't control.

01
Turo's ~25% Commission Eats Your Margin — Worst on Repeat Guests
Depending on the protection plan, Turo's take runs roughly 15 to 40% of every trip — about 25% on average. On a guest who has already rented from you twice, that quarter is pure leakage: you've done the work to earn the relationship, and the platform still skims the same cut. A direct-booking channel that captures even your repeat guests off-platform puts that money back in your pocket and builds a customer list that belongs to you, not to Turo.
02
You're Totally Dependent on One Platform's Algorithm
With Getaround shut down in the US, Turo is effectively the only national carsharing marketplace left. Your search ranking, your pricing nudges, and the rules you operate under are all dictated by one company — and a single account suspension can zero your income overnight. Owning a Google and Apple Maps presence and a direct-booking site gives you a demand channel no platform can switch off, so your business isn't riding on one algorithm.
03
Off Turo, You're Invisible — Nowhere to Send a Direct Customer
When someone searches "luxury car rental near me" or "exotic car rental [city]," almost no independent host shows up in the Google Map Pack or on Apple Maps — that entire off-platform demand channel sits unclaimed. So even when a happy guest wants to rent from you again directly, there's nowhere to send them except back into Turo's commission. We make you findable where renters search and give you a branded site to send them to.
How it works

From 100% Platform-Dependent to Owning Your Own Demand

We build your off-platform engine — the Google and Apple Maps presence, the branded booking site, and the operational spine underneath it — so guests can find and book you directly while you keep hosting on Turo throughout.

Step 01

We Audit Your Presence and Listings — Free

Free 20-minute call. We check your Google Business Profile, your Apple Maps presence, your Turo listing quality and photos, your review count, and how a renter searching "luxury car rental [your city]" currently finds you. You see exactly where your off-platform demand is leaking back into commission.

Step 02

We Build Your Off-Platform Engine

We claim and optimize your Google Business Profile and Apple Business Connect, stand up your branded direct-booking site, and wire the operational spine: payments, deposits and holds on your own terms, rental agreements, ID verification, and before-and-after photo evidence. Deposit amounts and release windows are disclosed to renters up front through a compliant processor.

Step 03

You Manage and Grow — We Keep Improving

Direct bookings start arriving at zero commission. We run review acquisition and rebooking sequences that turn one-time guests into repeat customers, and as you add cars the fleet calendar, automated messaging, and dynamic pricing scale with you — so you can pass three cars without the operation breaking. Monthly reporting tracks direct versus platform mix and commission saved.

★★★★★

"I started buying cars specifically to rent on Turo, but the 25% cut hurt most on the guests who came back again and again. AVBOOST set up my Google and Apple Maps profiles, built me a direct-booking site with deposits and a rental agreement, and wired the before-and-after photo capture so I'm covered on damage. Now my repeat renters book me directly at zero commission, and I added my fourth car without the calendar turning into chaos."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost, and am I locked into a contract?

Our packages are month to month with no long lock-in and no setup fees. You're investing in assets you own outright, your Google Business Profile, your branded booking site, and your customer list, not renting them. Most hosts recover the cost on the first few repeat bookings they move off-platform, since every direct booking saves the roughly 25% Turo takes. Book a free audit and we'll quote your situation directly.

How fast will I actually see bookings?

There are two timelines. Paid Google Ads and your direct-booking site can produce bookings within weeks. Organic Map Pack ranking for searches like "luxury car rental [city]" typically builds over two to four months as your profile gains reviews and authority. We run paid to bridge the gap while your organic presence compounds. We don't promise exact numbers, but both channels move in the same direction.

I have or want more than one car. Does this scale?

Yes, it's built for it. The fleet calendar syncs availability to prevent double-booking across cars and channels, automated messaging and reminders cut the per-car manual work, and one dashboard runs the whole fleet. That's the system that removes the chaos that usually stops hosts at two or three cars, so you can keep buying and adding vehicles without the operation breaking.

Turo already has pricing, a calendar, and photos. Why do I need you?

Turo's tools keep you inside Turo, and inside its roughly 25% commission and its algorithm. We build the part Turo can't and won't: your own demand. We make you findable on Google and Apple Maps for "car rental near me," give you a commission-free direct-booking site, and turn one-time Turo guests into repeat customers who book you directly. You keep using Turo for discovery; we help you own the relationship after.

What about insurance and liability when I rent my car out?

We'll be straight with you, and we are not an insurer. Standard personal auto policies have a commercial-use exclusion that voids coverage the moment your car is rented for a fee. On Turo, Turo's protection covers the trip; for direct bookings you need your own commercial or carsharing-endorsed coverage. We don't sell insurance, but we help you navigate the options and connect you with specialty carriers and integrated per-trip coverage partners so you're never renting uninsured. Always confirm with a licensed agent.

What does getting started actually look like?

A short kickoff call to map your cars, your market, and your goals. We claim and optimize your Google Business Profile and Apple Business Connect, stand up your branded direct-booking site with payments, deposits, ID verification, rental agreements, and before-and-after photo capture, wire your review and SMS or email sequences, and turn on paid ads where it makes sense. You keep hosting on Turo throughout, so nothing pauses during onboarding.

Ready to Stop Paying Turo 25% and Start Owning Your Demand?

Book a free 20-minute strategy call. We'll check your Google and Apple Maps presence, your Turo listing, and your current setup, and show you exactly what it would take to start earning commission-free direct bookings from renters already searching for what you offer.

No contracts. No setup fees. 30 days' notice to cancel — that's it.

Insurance note: AVBOOST is not an insurer and does not sell insurance. Standard personal auto policies exclude commercial use, so renting your car for a fee can void that coverage; direct bookings require your own commercial or carsharing-endorsed policy. We help you navigate options and connect you with licensed agents and integrated coverage partners — always confirm coverage with a licensed agent.
