I'm not sure how many companies are actively offering coverage for Turo, but I do know they have a sponsorship with Travelers that allows hosts to choose a protection plan. This protection plan covers liability and physical damage to the vehicle, but hosts can also deny a plan if they have their own coverage.

In this case, you would be required to have a commercial liability insurance plan, but this typically would only be available to rental car companies, not individual hosts. I would recommend choosing a protection plan through Turo to get coverage since the insurance implications are still murky when it comes to renting out your own car for commercial purposes.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

There is no legal window where you can drive without the plates.

You would likely just need to show insurance at the point of sale to get that done. If you are…
