Renting a car through Turo is an attractive option for many, thanks to its convenient and diverse car-sharing platform. But if you have a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) on your record, you might wonder if this affects your ability to use Turo. Let’s explore Turo’s policies regarding DUIs and what you need to know if you're looking to rent a car.

Understanding Turo’s Driver Requirements

Turo requires all renters to meet certain qualifications to ensure the safety of vehicles and the community. Here’s a quick overview:

• ✅ Must be at least 21 years old (25 for certain vehicle categories)
• ✅ Have a valid driver’s license
• ✅ Maintain a clean driving record

DUI Policies and Turo Eligibility

Turo disqualifies drivers with major driving violations, including DUIs. Specifically, individuals with a DUI in the past seven years typically cannot rent a car on Turo. However, exact eligibility can vary based on state laws and the severity of the offense.

Why Does a DUI Affect Your Rental Eligibility?

DUIs indicate a higher level of risk for insurers and car owners. Turo, like many car-sharing platforms, partners with insurance providers who assess risk based on driving history. A DUI may be considered a significant risk factor, which is why it can disqualify you.

Alternative Car Rental Options If You Have a DUI

If you're unable to rent a car with Turo due to a DUI, here are some possible alternatives:

• ✅ Traditional Car Rental Companies: Some companies have different look-back periods for DUIs.
• ✅ Peer-to-Peer Car Rental Alternatives: Other platforms may have more lenient policies.
• ✅ Local Car Rental Agencies: Smaller agencies may have more flexible eligibility requirements.

How to Check Your Eligibility on Turo

If you're uncertain about your eligibility:

1. ✅ Sign up and provide your driver’s license information.
2. ✅ Turo will run a background check to assess your driving record.
3. ✅ If disqualified, you’ll receive a notification with the reason.
