Trip city
Turo vs. Trip City: Which Platform is Better for Car Rental Hosts? If you’re in the car rental business (or thinking about getting into it), you’ve probably heard of Turo. But now, there’s a new player in town—Trip City. How do they compare, and which one is better for hosts? Let’s break it down. 1. Platform Popularity & Customer Base • Turo is the biggest name in the peer-to-peer car rental space, with millions of users and established trust. It’s got the volume, but that also means more competition for hosts. • Trip City is a newer platform, so it may have fewer customers at the moment. However, early adopters might benefit from less competition and better visibility. 2. Fees & Host Earnings • Turo takes 10-40% of your earnings depending on the protection plan you choose. This can eat into your profits, especially on lower-margin rentals. • Trip City claims to take a lower commission and offers competitive pricing for hosts, meaning you keep more of what you earn. 3. Insurance & Protection Plans • Turo’s insurance plans range from basic to premium, but deductibles and claims processes can sometimes be frustrating for hosts. • Trip City is marketing itself as a host-friendly platform with simpler and potentially more affordable protection options. Still, since it’s newer, real-world experiences with claims are limited. 4. Customer & Host Support • Turo’s customer support can be hit or miss—some hosts find it efficient, while others struggle with slow responses and biased decisions in claims disputes. • Trip City is promising better host support, but as a new platform, we’ll have to see if they deliver on that promise. 5. Booking & Payment Experience • Turo has a polished app and website, but strict policies and unpredictable rule enforcement can frustrate hosts. • Trip City is positioning itself as a more flexible alternative, but its booking volume and payment reliability are still being tested. Final Thoughts If you’re an established host, Turo’s large customer base gives you steady bookings, but the fees and rules can feel restrictive. If you’re looking to maximize earnings and take advantage of a growing platform, Trip City could be worth a try, especially since it offers better host incentives in its early growth phase.

@Anthony Hernandez Correa Setting up an LLC is a smart move for liability protection and tax deductions and you’ll also want to get a business bank account and EIN early on. For low-cost LLC formation, check out Incfile.com and ZenBusiness.com—both offer affordable setup options. As for your fleet, I always recommend starting with cash cars first, ideally Toyota models around $6,000. They’re reliable, easy to maintain, and hold value well. This way, you avoid debt, keep overhead low, and turn profits faster. Once you’re making steady income from your cash cars, you can use that profit as a down payment to start financing cars and scaling your fleet. Look for auctions, private sellers, and trade-ins at dealerships to get the best deals. Let me know if you need help finding the right cars!
1 Skill That Separates Winners from Losers in the Car Rental Business
Most people think the key to success in car rentals is getting bookings, setting the right prices, or offering luxury cars. While those things matter, they won’t save you if you don’t master the most important skill: 🚗 CAR BUYING. 🚗 Here’s why: 🔑 Your profit is made when you buy the car—not when you rent it. Overpay for the wrong car, and you’ll struggle to break even. Get the right deal, and every rental becomes pure profit. 🔑 Depreciation is your biggest enemy. Buy too high, and you’ll lose a lot when it’s time to sell. Buy smart, and you can flip for a profit when the time is right. (Ask me if you’re not sure when) 🔑 The rental business is prone to total losses. Accidents happen. But if you bought the car below market value, the insurance payout can leave you with a profit instead of a loss. The wrong purchase, however, can leave you taking L’s. 🔑 Some cars are money pits. A cheap car with expensive repairs will take your profits. A reliable, in-demand car will print money for you. How to Buy Cars Like a Pro… ✅ Buy below market value. Wholesale, auctions, and private deals will always beat dealer pricing. You can even buy retail cars, you just need to know how to search. Try searching cars oldest in inventory and see how much prices have dropped since initial listing. ✅ Know what rents well in YOUR market. Not every car makes money everywhere. Research demand, know your demographic. ✅ Check maintenance history. Avoid cars that will cost you in the long run. ✅ Plan for total losses. If an insurance payout wouldn’t make you money, don’t buy. The difference between a struggling host and a profitable host is simple: One knows how to buy cars right, and the other is just hoping for the best. 🚗 Drop a comment: Have you ever profited off a total loss? Or did you take a hit? Let’s talk strategy!
Trip city has super low fees for hosts
Guys, you need to get on Trip City, it has so much potential to be better than Turo. The way it’s set up actually makes sense for hosts. Lower fees, better support, and a platform that actually protects your cars instead of screwing you over. I’m still learning the platform but we let our first car rip today on trip city, the FEES ARE SO LOW!!! It’s almost like renting out privately !!!
