Manual transmission vehicles

How to find a vehicle with a manual transmission

There are two ways to find a car that has a manual transmission: 

  • Check the Features section on the car’s listing page to see a car’s transmission type.
  • Filter your search results by manual transmission.
  • We default the Manual transmission field on new accounts to “No, I’m not an expert.” That means we won’t show you cars with stick shifts in your search results unless you change this setting. 
  • If you are an expert at driving a stick shift and want to see vehicles with manual transmissions when you search, go to your Account settings. Change the Transmission field to “Yes, I’m an expert.” 

Why manual transmission expertise is required

  • Guests are held liable for damage to a car’s clutch, gearbox, or drivetrain. If you book a manual transmission vehicle without having the proper expertise, you’ll be in violation of our Prohibited uses policy and are subject to removal from Turo. This policy protects you and your host’s vehicle. 

Electric Vehicles

How to find an electric or hybrid vehicle 

  • Choose “More Filters”and scroll down to open “Green Vehicles.”
  • Apply the filter for  “Electric,” “Hybrid,” or both.

Recharging electric vehicles

Electric vehicles average between 60-200 miles (96-320 kilometres) on a single charge. Ask your host how to charge their car, how long it takes, and how long the charge will last. Then plan where and when you’ll stop to recharge. Use this database to find charging stations for your trip. You can read the details of your refueling responsibilities in the article “Paying for fuel.” Some hosts offer prepaid recharging as an Extra.

If that happens, you may be considered to be in violation of our Smoking policy. You could be billed for cleaning reimbursement. To avoid this issue, we recommend waiting at least 15 - 20 minutes before re-entering the car after smoking.

You may also be charged a cleaning reimbursement if you leave behind a strong scent of perfume or cologne, or the lingering and strong aroma of food or other smells.
