Turo Delivery for Hosts: Fees, Airports and Real Costs

Turo delivery lets you bring the car to the guest: to an airport, a hotel, a train station or an address they choose.^[1] It can win bookings, but every delivery costs time, fuel and sometimes parking. Here is how Turo delivery works for US hosts as of October 2026, and how to price it so it pays.

How does Turo delivery work for hosts?

You choose where you will deliver and what you charge:

• Places. Up to 10 set places, such as airports, hotels and train stations. You can also offer custom delivery to an address the guest picks, within a distance you set. That distance is a straight line, so the drive is longer.^[1]
• Fee. Free, or a fee up to the maximum Turo allows at that place. One fee covers both the drop-off and the pickup.^[1]
• Free delivery for longer trips. You can make delivery free only on trips of a minimum length you pick, from two days up to two weeks or longer.^[1]
• Notice. You can set how much advance notice you need at each place.^[2]

To set it up, go to Vehicles > Settings > Locations. Turn delivery on in a car's listing under Locations & Delivery, and tap the pencil beside a car to change its fee. Vehicle groups let you set several cars at once.^[1]

Guests can ask to change the pickup or return place through Turo. If the change fits your settings, Turo accepts it on its own.^[2] If a guest changes just one of the two places, your fee becomes half the old place's fee plus half the new one's.^[2]

How much of the delivery fee do I keep?

Your earnings plan's share. For US trips booked from October 8, 2026, you keep the same share of the delivery fee as of the trip price: 70%, 80% or 90%, depending on your plan.^[1][3] In Austin, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Maui, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego and Seattle, your share also depends on how far ahead the guest books.^[3] Turo's airport delivery page still says 90%, but its help pages updated October 19, 2026 give the newer rule.^[9][1]

Guests see search prices with the delivery fee included, so a high fee can cost you bookings.^[9]

What can I not charge the guest for?

• The fuel you burn delivering the car.
• Parking you pay to collect the car after the trip.
• Any delivery or parking cost collected outside Turo.^[1]

You also cannot ask the guest for a ride home, send them anywhere other than the place you listed, or set a car's home or custom place on airport property.^[1]

How does Turo airport delivery work?

Turo holds delivery permits at more than 170 airports in the US and Canada, and each one has its own rules.^[9][5] Read your airport's page in Turo's Help Center before you offer it. If your airport is not on the list, follow local rules and pick a spot nearby that is not on airport property.^[9]

The main rules at permitted airports:

• Airport fee. Set by the airport and usually paid by the guest. Turo does not keep any of it.^[5][8]
• Where the car is. From 24 hours before the trip, share the exact spot on the trip's Details page: section, space, photos and directions from the terminal.^[5]
• Timing. Park no earlier than 4 hours before the trip starts, and collect the car no more than 4 hours after it ends, unless the airport sets a shorter limit.^[5]
• Keys. Never leave the car unlocked with the keys inside. Use a lockbox or remote locking.^[5]
• No cleaning. You cannot clean cars on airport property.^[9]
• Fines. Turo takes $100 from your earnings for a parking violation and $250 for a prohibited activity, on top of any airport fine.^[7]

Parking rules changed on June 23, 2026 at more than 100 permitted airports.^[6] At an hourly lot, you pay for parking before the trip's start time, rounded up to the hour, and Turo deducts it from your earnings using the time on your drop-off photos.^[6] Skip the drop-off steps in the app and you are charged 4 hours at the highest rate.^[6] The guest pays from the start time on. Collecting the car after the trip is on you, and you cannot pass that cost on.^[6] At a daily lot, you pay the full daily rate for both the drop-off and the pickup.^[6] Permitted airports without the new rules yet keep the older ones; Turo's airport list marks which is which.^[6][5]

Is it worth it? Turo says nearly a third of its trips start and end at an airport, and that airport trips earned hosts 21% more per trip (its data from November 2024 to November 2025).^[9]

Am I covered while I deliver?

In the US, Turo gives you third-party liability coverage while you deliver the car at check-in.^[1] Turo's page says coverage during delivery applies at check-in only, so check your own insurance for the drive to collect the car.

What does one delivery really cost?

A made-up airport delivery on the Balanced plan, where you keep 80%^[4], at an hourly lot charging $4 an hour. Every figure below is an example, worked to show the method, not a forecast of what a delivery will cost you.

At a $90 fee you would keep $72 and come out $6 ahead. If you drive it yourself, count your time, or the delivery looks free when it is not.

Three ways to make it pay: set each place's fee from your real costs, offer free delivery only on longer trips, and collect cars soon after trips end to keep parking short.

How Taylor's Fleet Services handles this

Deliveries and returns sit on one Dispatch list, so you see every run in one place. A driver cannot finish a hand-over or a collection without front, back, left and right photos and an odometer reading typed from the dashboard. Bookings come in automatically from Turo's booking emails, team members are asked to clean after each trip, and every car shows its profit and its expenses by category, so a delivery's real cost lands against the car that earned it.
