Offering discounts

About discounts 

Offering discounts can make your vehicle more attractive to guests who are booking longer trips. It may even encourage guests to book for more days. 

• You can set 7+ day and 30+ day discounts. 
• A 7+ day discount can’t be higher than a 30+ day discount.
• Discounts will apply to each day of a trip. 
• This includes any days you’ve set with a custom price.

How discounts work

A vehicle’s listed trip price is the sum of the daily price for each day that it’s booked. When a guest's trip reaches 7+ days or 30+ days, we apply the percentage discount to the trip price. 

What if a guest shortens their trip?

If a guest received a trip discount and they shorten the trip below the discount duration threshold, they may owe an additional amount. If so, we’ll charge them the balance due and add the amount to your host earnings. 

What if a guest extends a trip? 

If you approve a guest extension that results in a trip reaching a 7+ day or 30+ day discount duration threshold, we’ll apply the discount. That may require us to refund the guest a portion of their trip price. If so, we’ll remove those earnings from you and refund the guest. 

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.  

Example

Let’s say a trip costs the guest $100 (assuming no fees for simplicity's sake). And let’s say 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
