Turo Host Fees Explained

What you actually pay Turo — and what you actually keep. A clear breakdown for current and prospective hosts.

Turo's fee structure is one of the most misunderstood parts of the platform. On the surface it sounds simple, but the real picture — once you account for protection plans, guest fees, and additional charges — is more complex than a single percentage suggests.

Here's everything you need to know about Turo host fees in 2026.

Turo's Three Protection Plans

Turo charges hosts based on which protection plan they select. There are three tiers, and the percentage Turo keeps directly corresponds to how much insurance coverage you receive:

Plan	Turo's Cut	Host Keeps	Liability Coverage	Physical Damage
60 Plan (Basic)	40%	60%	$750K	60% reimbursement
75 Plan (Standard)	25%	75%	$750K	Repair cost up to ACV
85 Plan (Premium)	15%	85%	$750K	Repair cost up to ACV
90 Plan (Max)	10%	90%	$750K	Not included

Important: The 90 Plan (Max) keeps the most revenue but includes NO physical damage protection from Turo. You'd be relying entirely on the guest's personal auto insurance or paying out of pocket for repairs. Most experienced hosts avoid this plan.

What Turo Charges Guests (Separately)

On top of what they take from hosts, Turo also charges guests a separate service fee — typically 10–15% of the trip price. This fee doesn't benefit hosts; it goes entirely to Turo. It does affect guest price sensitivity, which can indirectly affect host booking rates.

Additional Host Fees to Know

Young driver fee: Turo charges younger guests extra, but only a portion goes to the host
Mileage fees: Hosts can charge per-mile fees over included mileage limits
Delivery fees: Hosts can charge for delivery; Turo takes their percentage of this too
Cleaning fees: If a guest returns a dirty car, Turo processes cleaning fee claims

The Real Math: What a $100/Day Car Earns

Plan	Daily Rate	You Keep	Turo Keeps
60 Plan	$100	$60	$40
75 Plan	$100	$75	$25
85 Plan	$100	$85	$15
90 Plan	$100	$90	$10

At 20 rental days per month per car, you're handing over $200–$800/month per vehicle depending on your plan. Multiply that across a fleet and the annual cost becomes significant.

Why Fleet Owners Often Move to Flat-Fee Platforms

The fundamental problem with percentage-based fees is that they scale with your success. The more you earn, the more you pay. This is the opposite of how traditional business costs work.

A flat monthly platform fee, like what PCR Booking charges, lets you keep all growth above that fixed cost. At 10 cars earning $1,000/month each, the difference between a 25% commission and a flat monthly fee can be $20,000+ per year in retained revenue.

Is Turo's Fee Justified?

For hosts with 1–2 cars who rely on Turo's marketplace for traffic, the fee can be worth it — you're paying for customer acquisition and the trust the platform provides. But for established fleet operators with their own customer base and repeat renters, the ongoing commission is essentially a tax on revenue that could be eliminated.

Stop Paying Commission on Every Rental

PCR Booking charges a flat monthly fee — not a percentage of your earnings. The bigger your fleet grows, the more you save. Start free and see the difference.
