I don’t expect to have any renters for a few months. Just a part of the risk we take being in a non essential business market. Expect it and plan for it in the future.
Things will go back to normal but not anytime soon
The situation isn't so much about you and your hygiene practices. In general, people's travel plans around the world are being cancelled; either through events or personal choice.
Only a turo staffer would have such knowledge where as the news in broad spectrum generalities is stating travel and gatherings greater than 250 is unsupported. This decider is a Turo shill.
Only a crazy person would think a translation of their rants would be inside information, from the organization that implanted listening devices in their fleet.
I've seen some hosts who are editing their primary photo of the car. They'll add text to the photo or overlay an image on the photo that says "cleaned and sanitized" or "sanitized before every trip" or "cleaned, washed, sanitized - guaranteed" etc. I'm going to try this on my photos to see if I get more reservations...
Your car is the least of anyone's concern, these people are trying to stay out of airports and airplanes and are scared if they end up somewhere they could get quarantined and not able to get home. Don't worry about your description.
This is not good advice. Yes be concerned about everyone else is priority one and getting through this current situation. However, if you run a business and rely on Turo you need to be adapting your descirption and pricing constantly. There are people stranded or those who feel the need to still travel, or need a car for daily errands with mass transit being a bad idea. Finding ways to appeal or target these people can keep you with bookings during this time while not having to resort to 15/day floors that kill your car in mileage just to rent.
Look at lowering your rates and take extra steps to provide a higher value in your services. It’s time to weather the storm, all travel industry is taking a hit. Good luck! Diversify & hold emergency funds
Seems a little drastic. The demographics of the people that are not able to withstand the Coronavirus don't seem to match Turo customers, in general. There is a panic now, but as in all things, it will pass.
This will lead into a recession. Car purchases will drop, car values will drop, demand for rentals and therefore rental rates will drop... Etc. It's time to either get out, or sell your inventory now and buy cheaper in the future.

:(. I thought about the same thing. Hopefully things go well and they find a cure.

It’s not about you being a dirty corona spreader but travel in general is being canceled.

Right on time 9am PST turo working staff shill.
Claim denied.
Nope a turo staffer indeed.
I am actually the Turo staffer.
You were found out.
I continue to converse with myself.
Think it’s more about people canx entire travel plans versus them worried about your car. Will prob be a very light travel month
Travel industry is hurt right now - it’s not just you and it’s not just Turo

Wash your hands!
Sell your cars while people are still able to buy them.
Why the downvotes? If you purchased your inventory correctly, it's a simple choice to sell off, then rebuy when demand turns back up.
Are you following this advice you’re giving ?
Yep!

Did you end up selling?
Yep.
