Offering discounts

Weekly and monthly discounts

Offering weekly and monthly discounts can make your car more attractive to guests who are booking longer trips. It may even encourage guests to book for more days. Weekly and monthly discounts will apply to each day of a trip. This includes any days you’ve set with a custom price. 

How to set weekly and monthly discounts

In the app

To set weekly or monthly discounts in the app: 

1. Tap the car icon at the bottom.
2. Tap the vehicle you want to edit.
3. Tap “Pricing.”
4. Enter the Weekly and Monthly percentage discount you want to offer.
5. Tap “Save.” 

On the web 

To set weekly or monthly discounts on the web: 

1. Choose Vehicles from the Host hub at the top of the screen.
2. Click “Edit listing” for the vehicle. 
3. Click the Pricing tab on the left sidebar menu. 
4. Enter the Weekly and Monthly percentage discount you want to offer.
5. Click “Save.” 

How weekly and monthly discounts work

We calculate discounts by adding up all of the prices of each day of a trip. Then we apply the percentage discount to the total to arrive at the trip price for the guest. A weekly percentage discount will apply to all trips that are seven days to one calendar month long. A monthly percentage discount will apply to all trips that are one calendar month or longer.  

When a guest books a trip, the system charges them the lowest total based on the vehicle's listed rates and discounts. To price match with your weekly or monthly discounts, our system may apply your weekly discount earlier than seven days. Or it may apply your monthly discount earlier than one calendar month.  

For example, if a guest’s six-day trip would cost more than a seven-day trip with the discount applied, we’d apply the discount early to price match. Or, if a guest extends a one-week trip four times for a trip length of a month or more, we’d apply the monthly discount to the whole trip. 

Host-given discount codes

You can encourage guests to rebook with you by sending them a discount code. Here’s how: 

1. Look for the option to send a code when we prompt you to rate your guest’s trip. 
2. Choose your preferred “percent off” amount from the options presented.
3. Tap “Submit.” 

How host-given discount codes work 

We calculate discounts by adding up all of the prices of each day of a trip. Then we apply the percentage discount to the total to arrive at the trip price for the guest. Discount codes function the same as a reduction to the vehicle price. For example, let’s say a trip costs the guest $100 (assuming no fees for simplicity's sake), and your take rate for the trip is 50%. If you’ve sent the guest a discount code for 20%, the guest would pay $80, Turo’s share would be $40, and your share would be $40. 

Conditions

Any discount code you request for Turo to send to a guest results in a unique price reduction for that guest to use to book a future trip with you. When a guest redeems the discount code, it’ll result in a decrease to the trip price. Earnings will be calculated on the discounted trip price. Discount codes are:

• one-time use only
• valid for 90 days
• valid for a trip in any of the host’s listed vehicles
• available to send only after the end of a trip
