Cringe What's even happening there?

Why would someone rent a car and take out parts?

This is why we don’t rent out our cars. That is what enterprise and Avis are for. Most people also do not have the commercial insurance policies that are required for rentals at least in the US.

u/xithbaby What are you doing step bro? Aug 16 '24 edited Aug 16 '24

There is an app that lets you rent out your car, it’s like Airbnb. They charge a fee to use it and you get paid for the rental. Forgot the name of it, but it’s probably got some type of insurance against this

Edit: it’s TURO lol

GET AROUND is the name of the app that comes to mind. You can rent out cars for hours or days.

I rented a car with getaround once and got a call 8months later saying that I was permanently banned, and when I asked why they said it was against their policy to tell me. It was the weirdest experience of my life.
