I actually own a macan s I’ve rented out on Turo since June of 2021. I’m convinced when you’re a noob on the platform, the riff raff actively seek you out and try and take advantage of you. Had a similar smoking situation early on to yours. Get an ozone generating machine off Amazon for the odor. Totally works. Don’t get a huge one, just a rechargeable usb powered one. Will take care of the smell in 2 hours. Always get photos of IDs before anyone rides no matter what. Don’t take tips or any of that shit. That just screams red flag. Also, make sure all communication and money is collected through the app. Next time someone fucks with your car while on a trip, contact them and say you want the car back or you’ll contact Turo have them booted, and/or call the cops. Turo will take your side for any negative feedback and expunge. Anyway, enjoy the channel and the dry humor. Good luck with future Turo rentals.

I wouldn’t have had any reservations getting them banned from Turo. They ruin it for everyone

I have a turo fleet and I have a couple of these stories. Including a flooded car, car that got abandoned 3 states away and a totaled tesla. Good to know I'm not the only one getting f****d.

You need an ozone machine to get rid of the smell but it replace it with its own distinct smell that you have to let air out. There are smoke foggers that are only good if it's a very light weed/cigarette smell.

Why would you ever let a driver that wasn’t authorized take your car? I rent two cars on Turo, and that is something I’d never waiver on. I even make people that I do a contactless handoff send me a pic of them in front of the car and a pic of their license before giving them the code. Insurance is invalid at that point if you don’t. Just too risky..

[EnthusiastCarHangar]

I would never do Turo for that reason. Also it doesn’t make sense. You need a good budget to afford a car in that price category first. Then it takes forever to get any money back with Turo.

It’s crazy how easy it is for some people to disrespect and trash things that aren’t theirs.

[qman]

Turo sucks. I rented a Model 3 once and the driver had the nerve to charge me a smoking fee as a non smoker. You never know who you'll deal with. A bad host or a bad guest.

"the only gun i ever shot was a needler in halo" = instant sub. halo 2 was the greatest fps of all time. Man, you'll bounce back thanks for sharing! The important thing in life is that we learn from our mistakes and you geniunely seem like you are doing that. All the best

[MarcesAurelius]

sounds like they changed the license plate 😳

[broosewee]

Lesson learned then. At least your car is back and mostly intact! Turo doesn't sound great IMO if they can't verify or control their users properly.

Omg dude I’m so sorry this happened! My hubs and I were thinking of renting out our Model S on Turo but after seeing Ryan Shaw’s video about his Model Y that was damaged because it appeared someone had “jumped” the car we were like no way in hell that’s happening! Turo should not be penalizing you for canceling a reservation because someone else caused that delay NOT you! I would certainly fight that!

[famip]

Dang never will do turo after seeing this, glad you didn’t get shot

[timgrinton]

You are way to trustworthy of a person. Sounds like these people do this scam on a regular basis. Glad you got the vehicle back and can chaulk this up to a learning experience.

[blessedlady]

You cannot blame Turo bc you allowed someone who wasn't approved by Turo to get the keys to your Porche. Stop trashing Turo. Been on Turo for 3+ years and I've never had an issue like this. Tracking on all my cars and I never allow folks who are not on the reservation to have access to my vehicle. Turo is a rental business with guidelines and if you don't follow them, you alone are responsible for what happens to your vehicle.

[Montug]

Why did you not demand they come back with the registered driver/renter immediately or you would report the car as stolen?

[thegamepz]

I once release a vehicle to a person with expired license. And I caught it after I gave them the lockbox combo and told them not to drive the vehicle, they of course took and drove off. I Called Turo and they said we can cancel the trip with no penalty Or let it go and you will still be covered( was PITA to make them confirm that )

In the end renter left good review, was happy he had the car, didn’t drive much, and left a tip.


That’s the only one time I let go car without proper ID verification.


And I have tons and tons of people that are trying to book without DL Ot with expired DL. Be careful.

[anthonyscott]

Ok. Watched the rest of the video. Damn man! Yeah, this one was ALL, ENTIRELY on you! That ONE little deviation from the rules set you up for EVERYTHING that happened afterwards. At least it wasn’t worse, and you seem to have learned your lesson.

I’ll still be here cheering you on on future vids.

[noelnolasco]

The head tracking cuts were Hollywood professional type edits!!! 😂 As always, enjoy your videos.

dude thats an absolute nightmare, this makes me look at renting out a home in a whole different light, some people have no respect for your property. only way itd be worth it is if your absolutely overcharging for the car rental, $1000 a day type shit

[clw]

For smoke smell, get an ozone generator from Amazon. It’s like $70 and put it in ur car over night. Smell brand new next day. Your welcome
