Comparing GetAround and Turo Cancellation Policies
Turo (no sign-up fees) and GetAround (subscription fees) both have different cancellation policies. Here’s a breakdown:
GetAround
GetAround, a peer-to-peer car-sharing platform, offers a cancellation policy that considers both guests and hosts:
- Host Compensation: If a guest cancels, the host gets compensation based on how close to the trip the cancellation happens. This helps protect hosts from last-minute changes.
- Flexible Cancellations: If done early enough, guests can cancel without paying any fees, allowing them to adjust their plans.
- Cancellation Fees:
- Within 1 hour of booking: No fee.
- More than 24 hours before the trip: No fee.
- Less than 24 hours before: 50% of the trip cost.
Turo
Turo cancellation also provides flexible options for both hosts and guests:
- Three Policy Choices:
- Flexible: Full refund if cancelled 24 hours before.
- Moderate: Partial refund for cancellations outside the free period.
- Strict: Similar to Moderate, but hosts get more protection.
- Free Cancellation: Guests can cancel for free 24 hours before their trip or within an hour of booking for trips starting within 24 hours.
- Partial Refunds:
-
- For trips longer than two days: Refund minus one day’s cost and certain fees.
- For shorter trips: Refund minus half a day’s cost and similar fees.
Understanding these policies can help you have a smoother experience, whether you’re using GetAround or Turo!
