The product
The money layer for a rental car fleet. Before you buy a car for Turo or a private fleet, Carlyle tells you what it will earn, what it will cost to keep, and when to sell it - in one ROI report. After you buy, the garage tracks maintenance and sell timing.
Give Carlyle a dealer listing URL, a VIN, or just the year/make/model and mileage, plus your market. It pulls the vehicle details, checks for open recalls, and runs all the numbers. Every fleet plan includes Ask Carlyle, so you can do the whole thing by conversation instead of filling in a form.
Market pricing comes from live franchise and independent dealer inventory across the US. Rental income comes from live Turo listings in your specific market and vehicle class, so the projection reflects what cars actually earn near you - not a national average. Maintenance comes from an 804-model service catalog.
True out-the-door cost, projected monthly income, the maintenance forecast from that model’s real service schedule, net monthly and break-even, usable life to your retirement mileage, a rentability score, open recall and title gates, sell timing ahead of the known big-ticket repair windows, and a straight buy/pass/negotiate call.
No. The report is the operator playbook encoded - the checklist an experienced Turo host runs in their head, turned into numbers and a plain recommendation you can share with a partner or lender.

Trust & data
No. Carlyle is an independent tool for fleet operators and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Turo. We reference publicly listed rental rates to build market comps.
Your email, your reports, and your garage - used to run the product, nothing else. Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see your card number. The full policy is in the privacy policy.
No tool can promise that. Projections and out-the-door estimates are statistical models, listings and rental rates change by the hour, and your actual earnings depend on how you run the car. Carlyle exists to put better information on your side before you commit capital - it is modeling, not financial advice. Verify anything that matters before you buy.
