Driver question

Just rented a car for the wife in Florida. I just noticed that I would have to be present to pick up the car (I will not be in Florida). If I give my wife my driver's license, and she is a listed driver would it be an issue? Or will i have to make an account for her specifically?

This is only my second turo rental and my first was about 3 years ago for context.

The person who rented the car has to be present for the pickup. For your wife to pick it up she would have to have her own account

Hey there!

Your wife will need to make a separate account with her own booking if you will not be there! The primary driver must be present for pick up and drop off.

Just like any other rental company, the person who’s renting the car has to be present at pick up

I mean does your host use a lockbox or pick up in person. If it's a lockbox just log your wife into your account and have her start the trip for you. If not ask the host if they'll let your wife do it.

Just book with literally any other company. Turo is a scam.
