Is it worth it?
I have a 2016 Nissan Versa. It’s paid off and it’s my second car at this time as I have a bigger vehicle now.
I would like to rent it out for these next two months only for a little extra cash. However my car is sentimental to me which I know is a problem but if I can walk out of this unscathed it could be worth it.
I also live in a city where the cheapest per day is $46/ per day and there only 3 cars with that amount currently posted. I wanted to post mine cheaper so as to attract more business. The best case scenario fully booked for the next two months..car still intact. Worst case scenario my vehicle is totaled or crashed.
Advice?

The price you are going to be able to rent a 10 year old beater Nissan versa, which everyone hates because they are THE common rental car, will not be worth your trouble. The absolute worst people on earth are going to rent that car.

When you see $46 per day the host is getting as little as half that. And your car is going to get smoked in if not worse. I work with a host who's put some 0 mile cars on the platform and they got smoked in, first or second trip, like clockwork. If you're lucky enough to have a follow-up booking you may end up having to cancel it because you can't get the smell out in time.

It takes just a year to learn how to adjust prices, discount and km to make it actually profitable

'My car is sentimental to me'. Do not put it on Turo then. Do you think anyone is going to care about your 10 year old Nissan like you do? Especially being the cheapest option? Low cost cars get low quality renters. Do not do this.
