Turo Accident Lawyer: Who Pays When a Turo Car Crashes?

Turo's peer-to-peer rental model creates complex insurance situations that traditional rental companies don't have. When Turo vehicles cause accidents, multiple insurance layers may apply—and gaps are common per Insurance Information Institute research.

Turo's Insurance Structure

  • Host's personal policy (often excludes P2P)
  • Renter's personal policy (may not cover rentals)
  • Turo protection plans (up to $1M liability)
  • Your own UM/UIM coverage

Coverage Gap Problems

For Accident Victims

If hit BY a Turo rental, pursue: at-fault driver's personal insurance, Turo's third-party liability, host's umbrella policy if any, and your own UM/UIM coverage.
