How to pickup and start your trip:

  1. Open the Turo app and open your booked trip with me.
  2. Under Trip Info, open Trip photos, then tap Add photos.

  3. Please take photos or add pictures from your own gallery. Please add pictures of the following:

    • Add a picture of the front of your license. Ensure your name and birthday match your Turo profile.
    • Walk around the car and take a few photos of the car and add them to the Trip photos. Any photos add to the trip by either you or me go into a shared album under Trip photos.

  6. Review the rest of the car guide to familiarize yourself with the car.
  7. Drive off and exit the lot when you're ready to go. Note: You don't need the QR code to exit the lot.

Dropoff instructions

Since drop-off is self-service, you may drop off the car as early as you want. However it's preferred to drop off the car within a few hours of your trip end time.

If you plan on dropping of the car very early, please request to modify your trip's end time in the Turo app and message me to get that approved.

Note: You do not need to charge the car prior to dropping it off. This is a free service I offer to you.

How to dropoff and end your trip:

  1. Head to the lot at and scan the SpotHero QR Code to let you in.
  2. Head to any open SpotHero spot (marked in blue) and park the car to take pictures. Ensure you have enough room for your camera to see all of the car.

  3. Use the Turo app to add Trip photos to document the car's return condition.

    Important: this is how you protect yourself from any damage that may have occurred between the time you drop off the car and the time I pick it up to prep it for the next guest.

    These pictures are more important than the pickup pictures! See below for a guide on how to document the car's return condition.

    How to document the return condition:

    How to take pictures.

    Note: It's okay if the pictures aren't perfect. Just try your best and try to cover all the bases.

  4. Double check the car for any your belongs. It's easy to forget small things!
  5. Ensure you have finished the checkout process in the Turo app.
  6. Leave the key in its designated location and use the Remote to lock the car.

That's it!
