On Turo’s website, they say the average earnings for the Panamera is around $29K per year. It just seems too good to be true, so I did the research myself. How correct is Turo’s carculator? Can we trust it? Is the Panamera actually THE BEST car on Turo?
You only live once right? I’m going to figure out a way to make a living pursuing my passion: cars. Follow me on my journey as I get started on the Turo app renting cars. I jumped in head first with a Corvette and a 4Runner. Who knows what the future will hold, but I’m sure you’ll want to stick around and find out!

That carculator seems to good to be true. I have been seriously considering putting 2 up, a Alfa Romera Stelvio and Benz A class 250 carculator has them in my area at 15k and 19k but I don’t believe it! Balt/DC
It is both impressive how detailed your research was and admirable how much you’ve shared with us. Keep it up !
Another great in-depth look! I personally would probably shy away from German cars or at least older German cars for Turo due to high unexpected repairs
professor 30A, thanks for this course.
Let’s do a deep dive on the Bmw M5? Good work btw, you rock!
Personally I'd go cheap to start. It's less return but it's way less risk and a bigger addressable market. Then again I'm not in a market like Florida, Vegas or Cali.
I've been doing similar analysis with the Turrex extension, and some of the data make me wonder how reliable the Turrex collections are. Could you do a collection against your own cars and verify its data with your dashboard just to verify it collects correctly? It would be great to have some confidence in this information.
Can you link your camera ? The quality is pretty good and microphone too if possible.
I’d be curious to see how these cars perform after their facelifts. Like the Corvette C7 earnings vs C8 earnings. I think the turo carculator takes blended earnings for the model of car but doesn’t factor in what generation the car is.
Can you please do the same thing for 4runner, chevrolet suburban please
I have been doing all my research with Carculator. Seemed too good to be true… What about M and AMG cars? M3, M4, C43. Boxsters and Caymans seem good in SoCal. According to Carculator of course, shame!
Great video! Can you do Mercedes E class.
Toyota Camry or Avalon
Great job. I find Carculator to be very city dependent. can you do a Maserati Ghibli
