What Turo hosts keep
In most US markets Turo hosts keep 70%, 80% or 90% of the trip price, depending on the earnings plan chosen for each car (Turo earnings plans, US hosts):
- More peace of mind: keep 70%, $250 damage responsibility.
- Balanced: keep 80%, $1,500 damage responsibility.
- More earnings: keep 90%, $2,750 damage responsibility.
The share covers delivery and Extras too.
| $60 a day, 15 days booked | Fees | Fee rate | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| More peace of mind · 70% | $270.00 | 30.0% | $630.00 |
| Balanced · 80% | $180.00 | 20.0% | $720.00 |
| More earnings · 90% | $90.00 | 10.0% | $810.00 |
Turo Fees for Hosts: What Each Plan Really Costs
Turo’s “fee” is the share it keeps: 30%, 20% or 10% of every trip. The cheaper plans aren’t free; you pay for them with damage responsibility, the amount you cover per incident before Turo reimburses. Moving from Balanced to More earnings gives you 10% more of every trip but $1,250 more risk per incident.
So which plan is cheapest depends on how often your cars get damaged, not on the percentage alone. We built a separate calculator for that decision: Turo host protection plans compared.
A busier car: $85 a day, 20 days
At $85 a day booked 20 days a month, trips bring in $1,700. On More earnings (90%) you earn $1,530; on More peace of mind (70%) you earn $1,190. The $340 a month difference is the price of the lower damage responsibility. Whether that’s worth it depends on how often your cars come back damaged, which the protection plans calculator models (Turo earnings plans).

Counting your real profit
Turo’s share is only the first cost. Enter your monthly car payment, insurance and maintenance under costs to see profit; for most hosts those, not Turo’s cut, decide whether a car pays for itself. If you also rent out a home, compare the Airbnb and Vrbo host fees.
