Can you travel in New York with a Turo car?
I need to rent a car and recently heard about Turo. Are New Yorkers able to rent using Turo and how does it work?

It’s great that you’re researching your options before renting a car! While Turo was banned in New York for about seven years, it recently made a partial return. Peer-to-peer sharing is still banned, but you are able to rent a car from a commercial host.
Turo allows people who own vehicles to rent them out to other people that need them—sort of like an Airbnb for vehicles. Some of the advantages to using Turo include
- There are a wide range of available vehicles
- It can be cheaper than going through another rental company
- Everything from browsing cars to picking one up is done through the app
The majority of cars available for rent with Turo are in New York City, so it may be difficult to find a car with the company if you live upstate or in Long Island. If Turo isn’t an option for you, there are plenty of standard car rental companies to choose from.
