  • What is Turo, the peer-to-peer car rental app used in the deadly Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks? Yahoo Finance explains.

Turo is a peer-to-peer car-sharing platform that allows car owners to rent out their vehicles to others, offering an alternative to traditional car rental services. Launched in 2010, Turo operates in the U.S., Canada, and the UK, providing a marketplace where users can book a wide variety of vehicles directly from local car owners. The platform has gained popularity for its flexibility, unique car options, and the potential for owners to earn extra income. Users can choose from economy cars to luxury vehicles, with options for different trip durations. Turo handles the booking process, insurance, and provides roadside assistance, making it user-friendly for both renters and hosts. The service has been particularly appealing for those looking for specific car models or features not typically available through conventional rental companies. However, like any service involving personal property, there are considerations regarding vehicle condition, insurance coverage, and user reliability.
