Hmm, headed to cali may long, flying this time since not very much time to drive down like we normally do.

Might look into this as I need a bigger car and some of the prices on 7 seaters are actually pretty good...

pretty sure thats the same m4 that was in the james corden carpool karaoke with Jlo :lawl:
@351

If you do, please let me know your experience. I'm going to Cali in October and need a 7 seater as well.

how does insurance coverage factor in if you get into an accident. that would be a major concern for me.

is BnB girlfriend next?

No deal. We have a guy on RS willing to rent out his S63 for $200 a month.

Pretty sure that's called a Hooker, Prostitute or Escort. lol

Insurance is for the most part regulated province to province and state to state, so there is no single golden rule.

Having said that, as the vehicle owner, unless you elect to pay for an endorsement unique to rental vehicles, I can promise your claim would be rejected in the event of a loss. While I have never priced out the endorsement for rental car coverage, I would imagine it's very expensive and would carry a very high deductible, no less than $5000.

Sounds like a great way to end up with:
- Smashed up car
- Paying out of pocket to repair vehicles and property of other parties
- Personal injury lawsuit for third parties
- Personal injury lawsuit for the operator who rented your vehicle
- Litigation as a result of subrogation

As the renter, in the event that you cause an accident, it would be reasonable to assume that both the vehicle owner and third party may pursue legal action against you for damage to property and bodily injury.

Sketchy IMO.

I've seen people use this service out of LAX.

Let's just say, people rip it down W Century Blvd or on Sepulveda the moment the light turns green. :o

"people"

Yes, your kind of people, trollguy.

Looks like Turo provides insurance with 1 million in liability.

I dont see what the big deal is who travels to the states and doesn't buy travelers insurance? Just like renting any other car.

i'd much rather rent from avis etc. because of the insurance reason alone. with icbc if you have the correct insurance, you're covered in the event of an accident with a rental car in the states.

brb, don't mind if I go for a few laps at laguna seca

He's pretty obviously talking about being the renter, not the rentee.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I don't understand how you protect your car from people doing burnouts, launches, redlining, hard cornering, eating, drinking or smoking etc in your car. A lot of that stuff you would not see the immediate consequence from, just quicker wear and tear on your car. :confused:

Now, what if these cars are equipped with dash cams inside and outside view too?
That might be a good deterrent

In that case wouldn't it be similar to if you ANYONE other than you crashed your car? So if the car owner has the right coverage then it's no biggy. Which doesn't affect the renter.

What's the "right" coverage for someone taking your car and mowing over 10 people on a sidewalk? Do you know anyone that has or can even get $100 million plus third party? This is the USA we are talking about, where you can get $15 million+ dollars for a cup of coffee burning your lap... Giving your car to random people to drive on your coverage in such a litigious country is about as risky as it gets.

Now available in Canada!!!!

Wonder what happens if the car gets impounded.

So I thought I would update this (remembered because of the AVIS thread).

I actually didn't go to Cali with my buddies, as I was there the week before for work, and rented a car like a normal person for tax purposes.

However my buddies ended up renting a Jeep while they were there, and overall said the experience was very simillar to renting a car through a regular rental place, but instead they got a way sicker car and the price was much fairer than a regular enterprise rental or whatever.

They said the turo people had everything handled at LAX, including getting the car, and returning to LAX once you give back the car. I think they have a lot in LAX as well where you can pick up cars just like a regular rental company.

Overall they said it was awesome, and they would do it again if there was ever a need.

They have that, it's called Bed n' Brothel and are in the backpages of most newspapers.
