You do not always have to pay a deposit for Turo, as it is only required in specific situations based on factors such as the car class booked, your age, travel plans, and an assessment of various trip details.
When a Turo Deposit May Be Required
Turo charges security deposits under particular circumstances to ensure the smooth operation of rentals and the safety of their vehicles. Here are the key situations where a deposit might apply to your booking:
- Age and Vehicle Class:
- Guests who are under the age of 30 and book a Deluxe Class vehicle will be charged a security deposit.
- High-Value Vehicle Bookings:
- All guests, regardless of their age, are required to pay a deposit when booking a Super Deluxe car.
- International Travel:
- A deposit is levied on guests who plan to travel from the United Kingdom (UK) to a country within the European Union (EU).
- Risk Assessment Factors:
- For some guests in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), a deposit may be charged based on their auto-insurance score, specific trip details, and other internal risk assessment factors.
Before finalizing your booking, it's always advisable to review the trip details thoroughly on the official Turo platform to understand any applicable costs, including potential security deposits. For more information regarding trip costs, you can visit the Turo Help Center.
