DJ Khaled: "Another One" I bought this 2015 Fiat 500 Pop to list on Turo. I drug it home with ‪@100PercentJake‬ and now I'm going to take it from zero to rental hero in one day. There's a bit of work to be done but underneath this car is still super solid and low miles, I don't think we'll have any issues with it now or down the road. So here's how to take a car from someone else's mess all the way to ready to rent and listed on Turo in one day.

Wow, this was very interesting and impressive. I think these Turo fleet videos are a very good addition to your channel's content. When I was looking at the TPMS tool, I thought that is something that you buy when you have the volume to use it, like in your case. Now, I am wondering if you are getting close to the point where you would want to buy the equipment to mount and balance your own tires. Obviously, that would make the cost per vehicle to put new tires on lower, but also save you time - no need to bring it to a tire shop and be limited by their schedule.

Don't bother matching tires on the Turo fleet John. Car rental contracts only obliges the hirer to replace a damaged (during their use) tire with a subjective "like-for-like" and doesn't have to be the same brand. Tire damage is the most common issue too, so you'll be needlessly out of pocket trying to match them when they get returned with a different one on.

@Edyth_Hedd 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty sure he didn't match them because of Turo, but because he's just fussy that way.

@boilerhousegarage 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I meant he shouldn't be. I'm that fussy too, but the liklihood is they'll come back with odd tires as it's common damage for hire cars and the hirer doesn't have to match them.

I've heard a lot of negative with Turo, but I don't have the time to really deliver them. My local airport will not allow them to be stored so it requires delivery. As far as user perspective, I rented 1 turo so far which was in Charlotte. They had a great system of delivery and recovery with no interaction other than messaging through the app. had to take it to a car wash and vacuum it out when returning before my flight which probably made it easy on them. in an attempt to use one again, I found the delivery fees too high so I just rented one from the airport this time. Good Luck!
