A guest recently left two of my cars filthy and covered in cat hair. As if that weren’t enough, she also damaged both cars. I seriously hope her account gets banned so she can’t do this to any other hosts. The silver lining here is that I took some decent pre and post trip photos…

The smarter way to buy cars for Turo: Become your own bank using M1 Finance

Getting cars for your Turo business is a fairly easy process. If you have a decent income and credit score, getting approved for a traditional car loan from a bank or dealership isn’t hard at all. That’s how we started out. But what if I told you there was a better way by using your…
