Turo (peer-to-peer car sharing) lets you rent out your car. Turo takes 15-40% commission depending on insurance plan. Daily rates 30-200 depending on car type and location. Average occupancy 40-60% for active hosts. Hosts must factor depreciation - high mileage from rentals reduces car value faster than personal use.

20,000 car × 60/day × 50% occupancy × 30 = 900/month gross. After 25% Turo fee (225) - 80 insurance - 250 depreciation (15%/year) = 345/month net. Annual: 4,140. Modest income on 20k asset. Better economics for cheap cars (5-10k) with high utilisation, or premium cars in tourist areas.

Turo works best when: you don't drive much (otherwise you're sharing your daily transport), car is in tourist area or near airport (consistent demand), cheaper cars (depreciation lower as % of revenue), willingness to manage logistics (key handovers, cleaning, refuelling). Many Turo hosts buy cars specifically for renting (rental fleet model) - different economics from sharing personal car.

Quick example

With car value of 20,000 and daily rate of 60 (plus occupancy of 50% and turo fee of 25%), the result is 345.00. Change any figure and watch the output shift — it's often more useful to see the pattern than to memorise the formula.

Which inputs matter most

You enter Car Value, Daily Rate, Occupancy %, Turo Fee %, and Insurance Monthly. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

What's happening under the hood

Gross = daily × occupancy × 30. After fee - insurance - monthly depreciation = net. The formula is listed in full below. If the number looks off, you can retrace the calculation by hand — that's the point of showing the working.

What the headline number hides

Gross pay, net pay, and what actually lands in your account can differ by thousands depending on tax code, benefits, pension contributions, and student loan deductions. This tool isolates one piece of that picture — always pair it with a take-home calculator for the full view.

What this doesn't capture

Tax bands, pension contributions, student-loan deductions, and benefits-in-kind sit outside this calculation. The figure is the headline; your actual position depends on local tax rules and personal circumstances. Pair with a dedicated take-home calculator for the full picture.

Example Scenario

££60/day × 50% × 30 - 25% - ££80 - depreciation = $345.00.

Inputs

Car Value:£20,000
Daily Rate:£60
Occupancy %:50
Turo Fee %:25
Insurance Monthly:£80
Depreciation % p.a.:15
Expected Result$345.00

This example uses typical values for illustration. Adjust the inputs above to match a specific situation and see how the result changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Insurance plan to choose?
Three Turo plans: Premium (60% commission, full Turo insurance), Standard (25% commission, partial Turo insurance, your insurance secondary), Basic (15% commission, your insurance primary). Standard is most popular. Basic risky if your insurance doesn't cover commercial use - check policy.
Best cars for Turo?
Tesla Model 3 (high demand, premium rate, electric appeals). Jeep Wranglers (vacation favorite, high rate). Mid-range SUVs (Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4) - reliable, broad appeal. Avoid: luxury cars (high depreciation), small economy (low rate, lots of competition), sports cars (high insurance + abuse risk).
Time investment?
Active host: 5-10 hours/week (handovers, cleaning, communication, light maintenance). Remote host (key lockboxes): 1-3 hours/week + cleaning service. Most successful hosts use Turo Express (instant booking) which reduces back-and-forth communication significantly.
Better than selling car?
Depends on car value and your usage. Cheap car (5-10k) you don't use: clear win. Expensive car (30k+) you use occasionally: marginal. Selling and using public transport/Uber may net more than Turo income. Run full math including time cost.
