Turo Co-Hosting: Running Cars for Another Owner

This guide is for US hosts. Turo's rules below come from its help center and host pages, read on October 25, 2026.

What is a Turo co-host?

A Turo co-host is someone a host invites into a hosting team to help run trips. The host keeps the listing and stays fully responsible for what the co-host does.^[1]

Turo says co-hosts can be friends, family, employees or another host you trust.^[1] Each co-host needs their own verified Turo account, so nobody shares a password.^[3] You can make as many teams as you like, such as a delivery team and a cleaning team.^[1]

A second arrangement also gets called co-hosting. In Turo's passive income program, an owner's car is listed on an experienced host's own account. That host runs the car and pays the owner a share.^[5] Both are covered below.

How do I add a co-host on Turo?

In the Turo app's host mode, tap More, then Hosting teams. Name the team, pick its cars, set its permissions and invite people by email.^[1]

• The invitation stays open for 30 days. After that, Turo marks it Not approved.^[1]
• The invite must go to the email on the co-host's Turo account, or they make and verify an account.^[3]
• A team is active only with at least one car, one permission and one approved co-host.^[2]
• Turo shares the co-host's phone number with you and with its support team.^[3]
• You can remove a co-host, or set a whole team to inactive, at any time.^[2]

These steps come from Turo's Creating a hosting team (updated April 23, 2026) and Managing a hosting team (updated April 28, 2026).

What can a Turo co-host see and do?

A co-host gets Turo's "Trip management" permissions by default. You can add one more set, "Pricing and availability", but you cannot pick single permissions.^[4]

Trip management covers:

• messaging guests and answering booking or trip change requests
• check-in and checkout, in the Turo app only
• adding trip photos
• sending invoices for incidental costs, such as tolls and tickets
• contacting Turo support and viewing trips^[4]

Pricing and availability adds prices, discounts, availability and the calendar.^[4]

Co-hosts cannot file damage claims, schedule messages or see vehicle and host settings. They also cannot see trip receipts, host earnings, tax details or performance figures. That is from Turo's permissions page, updated November 12, 2025.^[4]

Two details catch teams out. An invoice a co-host sends shows the primary host's name to the guest.^[2] Some actions can happen only once, such as accepting a booking or sending an incidental invoice, so agree who does each.^[2]

How much does a Turo co-host get paid?

Turo's hosting team pages cover access, not pay. The split between a host and a co-host is a private deal you agree on yourselves.

The one split Turo publishes is in its passive income program. There, the owner earns 70% of the car's trip price and the managing host keeps 30%.^[5] Turo says the host charges no separate management fee.^[5] The host pays the owner on the 15th of each month, with a monthly revenue report.^[5]

Turo's own example uses average earnings of $10,868 per car per year, or $906 a month.^[5] That average covers January 2020 to June 2023.^[5] At 70%, the owner's share is about $634 a month.^[5] Turo notes this is before cleaning, parking, maintenance, damage and other costs.^[5]

Other program terms, as read on October 25, 2026:

• Managing hosts must hold at least Power Host status.^[5]
• Cars must be model year 2016 or newer, with under 80,000 miles on the odometer.^[5]
• The host picks the car up within 72 hours of signing the agreement.^[5]
• The owner pays for maintenance, and the host deducts it from monthly earnings.^[5]

You do not have to copy these numbers. They are Turo's own published benchmark, not a rule for private deals.

What should a Turo co-host agreement cover?

Put the deal in writing before the first trip. Turo's own program has both sides sign one standard agreement, which is a good model.^[5]

Agree on each of these:

• The split. A percentage of what: the trip price, or earnings after Turo's fees and Extras?
• Payday. A fixed date each month, with a statement for each car.
• Costs. Who pays for cleaning, parking, maintenance, tires and the toll transponder.
• Protection plan. Which Turo plan the car uses, and who pays its damage responsibility.
• Insurance. Whose policy covers the car between trips.
• Tolls and tickets. Who opens the mail, and how fast notices reach whoever sends the invoice.
• Damage. Who reports it within Turo's 24 hours, and how the owner hears about it.^[7]
• Miles. The odometer at each check-out and check-in, read off the dash by a person.
• Turo access. Which hosting team and permissions the co-host gets.
• Ending it. How much notice each side gives, and that booked trips finish first.

Who handles tolls, tickets and damage when you co-host?

The primary host, whose account lists the car, answers for meeting Turo's deadlines.^[1] Co-hosts on a hosting team can send toll and ticket invoices, but only the primary host can file a damage claim.^[4]

Toll bills and tickets go to the car's registered address, which is often the owner's.^[5] Turo gives hosts 90 days after a trip ends to invoice a guest for them.^[6] So the owner has to pass mail on quickly. In the passive income program, Turo gives the owner 90 days to tell the host about a guest's ticket.^[5]

Damage must be reported within 24 hours after the trip ends.^[7] If a co-host finds it at checkout, they need a fast way to reach the host who files. Collect every charge through Turo's own invoices and claims, never by asking a guest to pay another way.

Our guides Tolls and Tickets on Turo and Trip Photos for Turo Damage Claims cover both in detail.

How Taylor's Fleet Services handles this

Each co-host gets their own login, invited from the Team tab. The fleet's owner sets Can See Finances for each co-host; with it off, they run cars, trips and cleanings without seeing the money. A co-host can also start a fleet for an owner not yet on the site and invite them to claim it. One login switches between fleets, and Profit by Car on Metrics shows each car's earnings against its costs for settling a split.
