If you’re driving a car that you rented out through the car-sharing service Turo and someone crashes it you may be wondering what will happen. Turo’s insurance policies cover damages caused by accidents but there are some things to keep in mind.
First it’s important to understand that Turo is not a traditional rental car company. When you rent a car from a traditional company they are responsible for any damages that occur to the car while it’s in your possession. With Turo however you are considered the owner of the car while it’s being rented out and so you are responsible for any damages that occur to it.
This means that if someone crashes your car while it’s being rented out through Turo you will be responsible for paying for the damages. However Turo’s insurance policies will cover damages up to $1 million. So if the damages caused by the accident are less than $1 million you will not have to pay anything out of pocket.
Of course if the damages caused by the accident are more than $1 million you will be responsible for paying the difference. In this case it’s a good idea to have your own insurance policy that will cover the remaining damages.
It’s also important to keep in mind that Turo’s insurance policies will only cover damage caused by accidents. They will not cover any damage that occurs as a result of negligence or abuse. So if you allow someone to rent your car who then causes damage to it through negligence or abuse you will be responsible for paying for the damages.
Lastly it’s important to know that Turo has a very strict no-fault policy. This means that even if you are found to be at-fault for an accident Turo’s insurance policies will still cover the damages. However you will be responsible for paying the deductible which is $500.
All in all if someone crashes your car while it’s being rented out through Turo you will be responsible for paying for the damages up to $1 million. However Turo’s insurance policies will cover the damages and you will not have to pay anything out of pocket.
