Turo host update: Summer 2026 host release
By Carlyle. A plain-language summary of an announcement Turo published for hosts on Jul 29, 2026; Turo's own page is linked below.
Turo published its Summer 2026 host release on Jul 29, 2026, covering a range of updates to listings, pricing, airport delivery, notifications, and more. The changes affect how hosts handle airport handoffs, advance-booking pricing, distance charges, and message settings.
What it means for a host
Hosts with airport delivery should check that their settings are active, since guests can now add flight details in the app and hosts can track flights up to 24 hours before a trip. If you took odometer photos at check-in and check-out, Turo will now pull that data into additional distance charges automatically, so review those numbers before confirming. Pricing ranges for Standard vehicles from model year 2016 or newer have been updated for trips booked more than 14 days out in select markets, so it's worth reviewing your advance-booking prices. Also check your discount and minimum trip length settings, your notification preferences, and whether large vans you own qualify under the expanded 15-seat eligibility - noting that California stays capped at 10 seats.
