Median of market-level class medians, so one big city can't tilt the number. Sports and premium cars are tracked but excluded here - a $600/day exotic median says nothing about a workhorse fleet.

Straight answers

Rental rates, in plain terms

Across the 10 US markets Carlyle covers (4,561 rentals in the data), the median advertised private market rental rate is $56/day. City medians run from $43 in Phoenix to $71 in New York. Those are gross rates - before the platform's cut (on Turo, the host's protection plan sets it) and your costs.
New York leads the markets Carlyle covers at a $71/day median. Higher rates usually ride with higher car prices and insurance, so rate alone doesn't pick the market - net per dollar invested does.
Turo pays hosts 70-90% of the trip price depending on the protection plan they pick, and then real costs come out: insurance, maintenance, cleaning, registration. The math from gross rate to net profit per car is worked through in our guide, How much do Turo hosts make.
Carlyle builds these figures from rental market data by market and vehicle class (weighted samples, not exhaustive), takes median advertised day rates, and dates every market - the newest data here is from October 16, 2026. New markets appear as soon as their data lands. Carlyle is not affiliated with Turo.
