United Auto Rental?

[auntyjenn]

Has anyone used United Auto Rental from SNA? The minivan is $200 cheaper than Budget which makes me think... hm... There's another company that's also pretty cheap called Turo? I've never heard of either. Does anyone know anything about these options? We need a six passenger or more vehicle and are looking for a good deal.

Thanks!

Turo is a person to person rental company like Air B&B. That means the mini van is owned by "Bob" who puts it on Turo and you rent it. Turo takes a cut and the rest of the money goes to "Bob." Now there are plenty of people that buy cars JUST to have on Turo and run it more like a business, but a lot of time's your insurance coverage won't cover rentals like Turo, and as far as I can tell Turo does not offer primary rental coverage to purchase when you rent a vehicle.

Turo is rental from other individuals, an AirBnB for cars. I have used Turo several times in the past month.
Key feature is rentals are for a specific vehicle (not just something similar).
