Introducing The Carshare Academy
Coaching - Classes - Market Studies - Events - Resources - And More
New hosts are joining the Turo platform in astonishing numbers.
Thanks to the nationwide rental car shortage, surge in travel demand, and more guests booking cars on the Turo platform than ever before, a wave of new hosts are joining the platform to build carshare businesses in their city.
There are more ways to do things wrong in this business than there are to do things right. And in this business, mistakes are very expensive and can result in severe damage to your financial health.
The Carshare Academy was created in May, 2021, by a Turo veteran All Star Power Host who built and managed a successful fleet of vehicles in Detroit, with the goal of providing new and aspiring hosts with all of the resources, training, and coaching they need to begin and sustain a successful business on the Turo platform.
Here’s a rundown of what’s offered by the Carshare Academy.
Group Coaching Zooms
Every Wednesday evening a group of new and aspiring hosts join the lead coach for a one-hour conversation during which they learn the five most important things every host must know, discuss answers to pre-submitted questions, and have a live Q&A. There are three levels of participation with various bonuses and benefits for each level. CLICK HERE to learn more and register for a meeting.
One-on-One Coaching Calls
Thursday evenings are for one-on-one calls with the lead coach to discuss whatever topics the new or aspiring host needs clarity on. CLICK HERE to schedule a call.
Vehicle Listing Review
You’ve listed one or more vehicles on the platform, but is your listing optimized for maximum bookings? You can request a thorough critique of your listings with recommendations for improvement. CLICK HERE to request yours.
Topical Classes
Once a month there is a special class dealing with a specific topic of interest for hosts. Whether it’s how to effectively measure the profitability of your fleet, how to co-host vehicles owned by others, marketing tools and techniques, and more, these classes are designed to help hosts become carshare experts. CLICK HERE to view upcoming classes.
City-by-City Market Studies
One of the most important question every host must answer is which vehicles will perform well in their market. These market analysis are developed specifically for new, growing, or aspiring hosts, to get a broad understanding of their city, what vehicles are on the platform at what daily rates, the best performing models in terms of booking, and get recommendations for their first car, or additional cars as a newer host wanting to expand. We add new cities every week, but if you don’t see your city, you can request that one be done. CLICK HERE to view the library.
Live Regional Events
They’re called Regional Rallies and there are ten of them scheduled in cities all around the country. Each rally is held over a weekend at a great hotel in a fun city with six hours of teaching sessions, a car show, an evening dinner, and resources to take home to help you be successful. Lots of fun and learning together! CLICK HERE to view the schedule.
The Carshare Conference at Sea
Imagine spending a week with Turo legends, people from Turo corporate, participating in large group meetings, topical breakout sessions, all aboard an incredible cruise ship sailing around the Caribbean and stopping at one island paradise after another! Our first Conference at Sea is scheduled for February 5th, 2022. CLICK HERE to learn more.
Host Resources
We’ve put together a resource page to provide you with convenient links to the products you most need and will use as a host. We have a directory of photographers around the country who take professional pictures of host vehicles. You’ll also find a free 2-month trial of the Streetsmarts fleet management system. CLICK HERE to view the resources page, and HERE to view the photographer directory.
Carshare Karma
Building a successful business is even better when you’re doing your part to make the world a better place. Every month we have a different giveaway for new hosts. And, when you become a client of the Carshare Academy, a portion of what you spend with the academy is used to support men and women in impoverished nations who are working hard to build businesses to support their families. CLICK HERE to see the current giveaway and meet the people we’re supporting.
The Carshare Academy is creating a better carshare experience, for guests and hosts, one host at a time.
We can’t wait to meet you!
