We got the email nobody wants to see: Turo told us we were removed from the platform and they “don’t disclose details.” No warning, no real explanation—just done. And when you’ve got a big fleet, that’s not just annoying… it can destroy your booking flow overnight. We were sitting at 60–70% utilization month after month, doing $100K+ months, and then it felt like we went to basically 0% because most of our lead gen was Turo. In this video I break down exactly what we did next and what I learned the hard way. We had to figure out how to rent 200+ cars without Turo, and we panicked at first. We spent money on ads, tested what worked (and what didn’t), and then leaned into a longer-term play instead of trying to patch together hundreds of short bookings. Once we dialed in one promo, we climbed from 0% utilization to about 95% in roughly three months, and after getting kicked off we spent $33K on advertising and generated over $2M in revenue. My biggest takeaway: I should’ve taken my own advice sooner and gone private earlier. Platforms can kick you off whenever they want, and if you’re fully reliant on them, you’re screwed. That’s why I’m pushing systems that help hosts move from Turo to private rentals so this doesn’t wipe you out.
