Thank you very much and God bless you.

I guess the AirBnB of rental cars. Funny though that both terrorist attacks on 1/25/24 had vehicles rented from Turo.

And my understanding is that the truck was rented from somebody in Colorado, which is where the Las Vegas attacker is from. It would be interesting to see who these were rented from and whether there is any potential CIA involvement...

So, now two car owners are without vehicles. These incidents will probably destroy TURO. I’m curious who’s insurance will cover the loss/damage.

It seems in these 2 instances these weren’t “regular” people.

Car owners should always remember the car renter’s favorite saying, “No curb too high, no ditch too deep, for the mighty rental car.

Would insurance cover loss of vehicles intentionally and deliberately used in criminal activity?
