Get In vs. Turo: which peer-to-peer car rental is right for you?
Turo built the peer-to-peer car rental category. Get In is the curated alternative — cars from people, not counters. Here's an honest side-by-side so you can pick the one that fits your trip.
The short version
- Turo — the biggest peer-to-peer marketplace. Huge selection, especially in major US cities.
- Get In — a smaller, more curated marketplace focused on hosts who actually love the cars they list. Better hand-off experience, clearer protection tiers, simpler pricing.
Selection
Turo's catalogue is enormous — millions of listings worldwide. Get In is more selective: every host is verified, every car is reviewed, and the inventory leans toward owners who genuinely care about the vehicle. Smaller catalogue, higher signal.
Pricing and fees
Both platforms quote a base daily rate, a service fee, and a protection tier. Get In keeps the breakdown visible at every step — no surprise add-ons at checkout. Compare the final total, not the sticker price, when you're shopping.
Hand-off experience
This is the part Turo can't really fix at scale. Get In hosts meet you where you actually are — your hotel, your gate, your address — and walk you through the car. No counter. No shuttle. No upsell.
Protection and claims
Both platforms offer tiered protection plans from licensed insurance partners. Get In keeps the tiers simple — three named plans, plain-English coverage — and runs claims through a real human with a 48-hour first-response target. The full breakdown lives on our protection guide.
Hosting on each platform
Turo's scale means more bookings, more wear, and more renters. Get In's curated model means fewer bookings but higher-quality renters, faster payouts, and a host dashboard that doesn't bury the important numbers. If you treat your car as something you care about, the trade is usually worth it.
Which should you use?
- Pick Turo if you need maximum selection in a major US city and don't care who hands you the keys.
- Pick Get In if you want a curated car, a real person to meet, and a checkout that doesn't surprise you.
