What is the Airbnb car rental? ›

Why are one-way car rentals expensive? In general, car rental companies will charge more for one-way rentals as the car is rented in a specific location. They might need to collect the vehicle back at the original office.

Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing platform that allows car owners to rent out their own cars to regular people. Consider it a sort of Airbnb for cars.

The premise of Airbnb is simple: A person lists their home for rent, sets available dates and the price, and you can opt to rent it. Some listings give you the entire home to yourself, while others provide private areas within a home (such as an in-law unit). Sometimes, you might even share a room with someone else.

There is a drop-off surcharge, which is a penalty that is charged by some companies simply for dropping off the vehicle in a different location than the one you rented it at. In addition, the base rate for the rental vehicle is generally higher for one-way van rentals or car rentals than it is for round trips.

Return location fee

This is the most common penalty when returning a rental car to a different location. It is an extra fee that is charged to cover the cost of miles, fuel, and driver costs to return it to the original location.

Why is a one-way car rental so much more expensive than returning it to the same place? One-way car and truck rentals are usually more expensive because it's a hassle for the company for their stock to end up somewhere else.
