Stoned Turo Redditor Describes How Turo Ruined His Life
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 9th, 2026 11:19 AM Author: The Maine Politician?s Assaults Just smoked a joint so f it.. I’ll tell my story. Around this time last year I had a lump sum of money (10k) and tried to be different and invest it in 2 used jeep wranglers (lifted with tires too) jeep 1| 127k miles | $29,000 -12% intrest | Note $700 | insurance $125…yes I know the miles where nice but it had the lift kit, nice wheels, super awesome aftermarket sound system with 2 subwoofers… so yeah I felt it was worth it. Jeep 2 - 97k miles | $28,000 12% intrest note $500 a month(only had the lift kit and the wheels everything else was basic. Here’s where I really f’d up. The second jeep wasn’t doing to good so I took out a loan (10k originally 4k) for upgrades such as new rims, front & back bumper and sound system. I had 90 days to pay the 4K with 0 percent interest and silly me didn’t so the loan went from 4k to 10k and I was making $600 a month payments for that(yeah I don’t know wtf I was thinking). So in total I had $700, $600, $500, $125, $125 = $2,050 I had to pay(not including my regular life bills) just in businesses overhead. But me trying to stick with something and be consistent told myself I’ll work through it. Any listed the cars and right away jeep 1 starts getting booked almost every other day bringing in $900 to $1300 a month and I’m like fuck this is cool and it’s actually working. Jeep 2 barleys does anything (I think color plays a very important part of how much your car gets rented out, jeep 1 was black and slick, jeep 2 was a ugly ass turquoise greenish blue, that’s why I got the upgrades thinking it’ll do even better then the other 1) that decision to get those upgrade was probably my biggest mistake I was already going to struggle with things, that extra $600 a month kilt me and my wallet. Oh but back to the Turo story first 3 months goes super good for jeep 1, jeep 2 picks up a little ($500 a month)but not enough to cover cost. But without the upgrades I would’ve been just breaking even if I was able to make that $500 a month. Both jeeps were priced a $70 plus a day. Right before thanks giving weekend we’re I could’ve gotten at $125 a day someone steals the black jeep. A lady books the jeep and let’s this guy she barley knows drive it and he never returns it. He told the lady he would pay her bills half off if she books a car for him and silly her went for it. She helped me find his older brother and we got the car back a week later crashed up radio ripped out 8k worth of damage so the car sat for 3 months waiting for parts and repairs. All while 2k worth or bills kept coming. Now I’m down to 1 car that’s barley doing anything so all my work checks where going into this business shit felt like an impossible whole to get out of. Was lucky enough to get a few settlements that helped me stay above water but a few months later I was right back under water and the jeep tie rod comes off the whole repair would be $900 to fix and I’m already behind on the car note that was the last straw for me I had to say f the business because it wasn’t making sense. Maybe if I had guidance from someone who was already doing it I would’ve made better choices but now I’m filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy to get rid of both the cars and loan and on top of all this I had about 20k worth of Cc dept after filing and seeing the paper work that showed me I had 109k worth of debt and has $3400 a month worth of bills with nothing to show for it made me really want to get my shit together and do things 10 times smarter like save up a lump sum of money before financing anything. BUGETTING will be my biggest know exactly what u have coming in and what you can afford to go out. With just my work checks %90 of my money was going to bills, I only had a extra $200 a month for myself. Now that I know this if I was to event get back into I would only do it with luxury vehicles just because your dealing with a different type of clientele any damage to your car will get fixed with no hassle I also think Turo takes way to much. I know for a fact they take more then what they tell you. If you’ve ever asked a customer how much they paid it’ll be very different from the receipt Turo shows you….. yes I know there’s probably some Grammer errors but I’m fried so you know wtf I’m tryna say!!!!!!! Any question ask away

I wonder if you can put a GPS tracker on the car & use that info to charge for violations of the rental agreement |

Date: July 9th, 2026 4:00 PM Author: Modus Penens (🧐) I’ve seen always negative comments about using klarna with turo so I wanted to give my side. It was an easy process I just used klarna one time card option and booked the car like it was a normal card. I also booked about a week before my trip so nothing went wrong with that. Always go for the 5 star hosts or anyone with good reviews don’t push your luck with someone with no reviews. The car I rented was a 2020 equinox with good gas mileage for out of state trip. Everything worked out good so I would say go for it. 👍🏼
