Turo is a Unique Rental Car Company (Peer to Peer Vehicle Sharing)
Turo stands out as one of the unique options in the rental car industry. Unlike traditional rental car companies, Turo uses a peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing model. In that way, it can be thought of as similar to Airbnb for cars. By facilitating direct transactions between car owners and car renters, Turo can provide additional flexibility. Of course, as with any transportation model, there is always the risk of an accident. When a person driving a car from Turo is involved in a serious crash, the legal claims process can be especially complicated.
Understanding Insurance Claims for Rental Vehicle Accidents (Turo)
Turo offers insurance coverage options for both car owners and car renters. When a vehicle is listed on Turo, owners can choose from several insurance options provided by Turo in partnership with leading insurers. These options vary in levels of coverage and deductibles, allowing owners to select what best fits their needs. Renters are also required to choose an insurance plan through Turo at the time of booking—these rental policies can cover both liability and damages. The dual system makes Turo rental insurance unusually complicated. Third-party insurance policies—such as from other drivers involved in the crash—could also be implicated as well.
An Overview of Motor Vehicle Accident Liability in Oregon
Oregon is a fault-based motor vehicle accident state. The driver, truck company, or other party responsible for a Turo crash can be held liable for the resulting damages. Under Oregon law (ORS § 31.600), a modified comparative fault standard applies—meaning each party to an accident can be held liable for their proportionate share of the blame. It is crucial that every accident involving a Turo vehicle is thoroughly investigated by an experienced Portland attorney.
A Two-Year Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Injury Claims in Oregon
You must initiate a rental car accident injury claim before the statute of limitations expires. Under Oregon law (ORS § 12.110), there is a two-year statute of limitations for negligence-based personal injury cases, including motor vehicle collisions. Be proactive after a Turo crash: Consult with a Portland, OR, rental vehicle accident attorney as soon as possible.
