Autoflow vs Turo:
your renters, your brand, your revenue
Autoflow is the operating system for car rental fleets: bookings, contracts, deposits, and renter verification in one flat $20/car subscription. For operators comparing Turo, the difference is the model: Turo is a demand channel that keeps 10-30% of every trip; Autoflow is the software behind your own direct channel - and plenty of fleets run both.

Why fleets
pick Autoflow
A fleet doing $30K/mo gives a marketplace $36,000-$108,000 a year. Autoflow costs $2,400.
Most serious operators start on Turo, then build a direct channel. Autoflow is the direct channel: your site, your repeat customers, your prices.
Plenty of fleets run both: marketplace for discovery, Autoflow for direct repeat business at 0%.
Turo's vehicle eligibility and protection cap out around $200K of value - thin territory for exotics. Autoflow does not gatekeep what you rent: your cars, your insurance, your deposit policy.

Frequently asked
questions
Current US earnings plans give hosts 70-90% of the trip price, so Turo keeps 10-30% depending on the plan (legacy plans varied further). On a professional fleet, that is tens of thousands a year.
Yes. Operators use Autoflow to take direct bookings on their own website with built-in verification, contracts, and deposits - many keep Turo as a secondary discovery channel.
Autoflow is not a marketplace - it is the software for running your own rental brand: your customers, your prices, zero commission.
It replaces the software side completely: direct bookings from your website, Checkr + Stripe Identity + Axle verification, mobile e-sign contracts, and deposit holds through your own processor at $20 per car per month. What it does not replace is Turo's built-in demand - you bring the channel, Autoflow runs it. Most serious fleets treat that as the trade worth making.
Three patterns: the 10-30% cut compounds painfully as revenue grows, the customer relationship belongs to Turo (rebooking guests off-platform violates its terms), and eligibility caps around $200K of vehicle value shut out the higher end of an exotic fleet.
First-time hosts with one or two cars and no audience. Turo brings renters from day one, handles screening, and includes $750K in third-party liability during trips - real value while you have no demand of your own. The math flips once repeat customers and higher volume make the commission the biggest line item in the business.
