Turo
Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing
A pioneer of the sharing economy and travel industry, Turo is a safe, supportive community where the car you rent is part of a story, not a fleet. Whether it’s an F-150 truck to help out on moving day, a Tesla for a luxurious weekend away, or a classic VW bus for a picture-perfect road trip, travelers rent the car and own the adventure.
Backed by top-tier investors, including Canaan Partners, August Capital, Google Ventures, Shasta Ventures and Trinity Ventures, with a total raise of $54M, Turo is available in 2500+ cities and 300+ airports throughout the United States.
