Turn Your Vehicle Into Rental Income Without Managing Guests Yourself

A Turo co-host is a person or company an owner authorizes to run the day-to-day operation of their listed vehicle — listing, pricing, calendar, guest messaging, handoffs and trip issues — in exchange for a share of the revenue. The owner keeps ownership of the vehicle.

The owner keeps the vehicle, the title and the ownership costs. The co-host runs the rental operation and is paid a share of what the vehicle earns. With Amped Auto Rentals the standard structure is 60% of Net Rental Revenue to the vehicle owner and 40% to Amped, set out in the signed Vehicle Management & Co-Hosting Agreement.

Yes. The Amped Managed Vehicle Program is car rental fleet management for individual owners: Amped Auto Rentals runs listings, pricing, calendars, reservations, guest communication, delivery and pickup coordination, turnover, toll administration, claims administration and monthly owner reporting for approved vehicles across Miami-Dade County, Broward County and qualifying parts of Palm Beach County. Amped applies the same operation to owner vehicles that it runs for its own fleet.

That is what the Amped Managed Vehicle Program does. You keep the title and the vehicle; Amped Auto Rentals runs the rental business around it — listing, pricing, reservations, guest communication, delivery and pickup, turnover and claims — and the vehicle may be marketed through Turo and through Amped’s direct-booking operation. Approval is required, and Amped does not guarantee bookings or income.

Yes. That is what the Amped Managed Vehicle Program does. Amped Auto Rentals manages listings, pricing, reservations, guest communication, delivery and pickup coordination, turnover, toll administration, claims administration and monthly owner reporting for approved vehicles.

For approved vehicles, yes — the vehicle is listed on Amped Auto Rentals’ existing Turo host account, and you are added to Amped’s Turo hosting team with limited access so you can see its reservations and trip activity in real time; Amped remains responsible for the rental operation. Approved vehicles may also be marketed through Amped’s own direct-booking operation. Amped does not guarantee that a particular vehicle will receive bookings through any given channel.

Yes. Amped Auto Rentals is based in Miami Gardens and serves Miami-Dade County, Broward County and qualifying parts of Palm Beach County through its delivery-focused South Florida rental operation.

Yes, Fort Lauderdale and the rest of Broward County are inside the service area, including FLL airport handoffs. Amped does not operate rental counters or storefronts in those cities; it is a delivery-focused operation.

No. Approved managed vehicles may be marketed through Turo and through Amped Auto Rentals’ direct-booking operation. One vehicle, multiple rental channels, one management team. Channel mix varies by vehicle and by demand.

It varies across the market. Amped Auto Rentals’ standard management structure is 60% of Net Rental Revenue to the vehicle owner and 40% to Amped Auto Rentals, subject to the signed Co-Hosting Agreement.

40% of Net Rental Revenue. The vehicle owner receives 60%. The split is applied after defined vehicle operating expenses, not to gross revenue.

Gross Vehicle Revenue minus Defined Vehicle Operating Expenses. Gross Vehicle Revenue is what the vehicle actually earns — rental proceeds, applicable delivery proceeds, eligible Extras, applicable mileage or late-use amounts and other qualifying vehicle-generated revenue. The agreement contains the controlling definition.

Defined vehicle operating expenses, which may include platform fees and host share, direct-booking payment processing, the vehicle-specific commercial fleet insurance allocation, wash and turnover program costs, net delivery and retrieval logistics expense, applicable charging or fueling turnover costs, unrecovered trip-specific parking, toll or citation amounts where properly allocable, and other documented third-party vehicle operating expenses expressly permitted under the agreement. Only expenses authorized under the applicable Vehicle Management & Co-Hosting Agreement and any vehicle-specific schedule are included in the calculation.

The management business itself: listing creation and optimization, photography, pricing, calendar management, reservation administration, guest communication and customer service, trip coordination, claims and dispute administration, direct-booking administration, owner reporting, fleet administration, software, operational overhead and Amped’s margin. These ordinary management functions are not separately deducted from the owner unless a signed vehicle-specific schedule expressly says so.

No. It is an Owner Distribution. The owner still pays the vehicle payment, personal insurance, maintenance, tires, registration and other ownership costs out of it. Owner Distribution minus those costs is the owner’s actual cash flow.

Monthly owner statements and distributions are generally issued by the 15th day of the following month, after applicable rental funds have cleared. Pending claims, chargebacks, disputes, uncleared funds, platform adjustments and guest reimbursements can affect timing and amounts. The signed agreement controls.

No. Amped Auto Rentals does not guarantee bookings, utilization, revenue, profit or owner cash flow. Results vary by vehicle, pricing, availability, season, demand, channel mix, operating expenses and the owner’s own carrying costs.

Turo’s host earnings and protection plans can change. Owners should review Turo’s current vehicle protection and host earnings page for current platform terms. In Amped’s program, any applicable platform fees, host share, protection plan costs, or similar defined expenses are accounted for before Amped’s 60/40 Net Rental Revenue split, and the monthly statement itemizes them.

Amped Auto Rentals evaluates each vehicle on platform eligibility where applicable, model year, mileage, condition, title status, accident history, open recalls, market demand, expected rental rate, expected utilization, maintenance and reliability profile, insurance cost, financing or carrying costs, current fleet needs and the owner’s personal-use requirements. Meeting basic platform eligibility does not guarantee acceptance into the Amped Managed Vehicle Program.

There is no single best car, and any ranking that ignores what you paid for the vehicle is incomplete. The vehicles that work are the ones where achievable daily rate and realistic utilization comfortably exceed acquisition cost, insurance, maintenance, depreciation and financing. A vehicle that books constantly can still lose money for its owner; a less glamorous one that is paid off can do well. Amped assesses the specific vehicle against South Florida demand and what the fleet already carries.

Acquisition cost, achievable daily rate, realistic utilization, insurance cost, maintenance and reliability, depreciation, passenger and cargo utility, traveler and seasonal demand, operating cost, direct-booking potential and how much of that vehicle type the fleet already carries. A vehicle that rents well can still be a poor asset if it costs too much to own.

It depends on the vehicle, market demand, rental channel, operating expenses and the owner’s carrying costs. Rental revenue alone does not determine profitability. The sequence is rental revenue, then operating expenses, then Owner Distribution, then the owner’s ownership costs, and only then owner cash flow. Two identical vehicles can produce opposite results if one is paid off and the other carries a large payment and a high premium.

There is no fixed monthly amount, and Amped Auto Rentals does not publish earnings projections for South Florida or anywhere else. What a vehicle makes depends on the vehicle itself, pricing, utilization, trip length, availability, season, market demand, channel mix and operating expenses — and what the owner keeps then depends on the vehicle payment, insurance and other carrying costs. Submit the vehicle for a review and Amped will assess it against current demand rather than a generic average.

There is no fixed monthly amount, and Amped does not publish earnings projections. Submit the vehicle for a review and Amped will assess it against current South Florida demand, expected pricing and utilization, and your carrying costs.

Yes, subject to availability. Owners may request personal-use blocks with at least 48 hours’ advance notice when the vehicle is not already committed to a confirmed rental; confirmed reservations take priority unless Amped agrees otherwise. Substantial owner blocking reduces rental performance and may affect whether the vehicle remains a fit for the program.

No. Paid-off vehicles and vehicles with low monthly carrying costs generally have the strongest opportunity for positive owner cash flow, but financed vehicles are considered individually.

Possibly. If a vehicle is financed or leased, the owner must review the applicable finance or lease agreement and obtain any permission required for rental, car sharing, commercial use or third-party management. Amped may request documentation demonstrating compliance before activating the vehicle, and applicable financing must be current — a vehicle is not activated with an unresolved delinquency, default, repossession notice, lender or lessor objection, or ownership authorization problem.

Only if the numbers work before you sign. That is what the Pre-Purchase Vehicle Review is for: send Amped the proposed vehicle, the price and the financing terms, and Amped will assess the rental economics before you buy rather than afterwards. This is an operational rental-economics review, not investment, tax, accounting, lending or financial advice.

Yes. Use the Pre-Purchase Vehicle Review path. Amped can consider year, make, model, trim, mileage, acquisition price, down payment, financed amount, APR, loan term, monthly payment, insurance estimate, expected rental pricing and utilization, maintenance and reliability, operating costs, South Florida demand, fleet saturation, airport and traveler demand, and direct-booking potential.

The owner. Routine maintenance, unscheduled mechanical repairs, tires, brakes, registration, recalls and ownership taxes and fees remain the owner’s responsibility.

The owner, as ownership costs of the vehicle.

The owner maintains the required personal or commercial coverage on the vehicle. Separately, a vehicle-specific commercial fleet insurance allocation may be treated as a defined vehicle operating expense under the agreement. Protection during a given trip depends on the applicable platform terms, protection plan, fleet policy, direct-rental arrangements, the owner’s insurance, and the exclusions, limits and deductibles that apply, and the facts of the loss.

Amped Auto Rentals coordinates delivery and pickup logistics throughout its applicable South Florida service area, including airport, hotel, residential and other approved delivery locations. Applicable delivery revenue and delivery or retrieval expenses are included in the vehicle’s accounting under the agreement.

Amped administers the wash and turnover program between trips. Applicable wash and turnover costs are treated as defined vehicle operating expenses.

Amped Auto Rentals manages guest communication and rental support throughout the trip lifecycle. Owners are not expected to message guests.

As the Turo host of record for managed vehicles, Amped administers Turo claims, and it administers direct-booking claims under its own rental terms; the owner cooperates with documentation, insurer and repair-facility requests where needed. Damage, deductibles and unrecovered losses are handled according to the applicable platform protection plan, insurance coverage, responsibility for the loss, recovery from the guest or other responsible party, and the signed Co-Hosting Agreement. Recovery from the guest, platform or insurer is pursued before an amount is treated as an owner expense.

Amped administers toll activity for managed rental trips where applicable, and guest-incurred tolls are reconciled and recovered according to the applicable rental or platform rules. Recovered guest tolls are not treated as an owner operating loss.

Amped coordinates possession, staging, delivery, retrieval and operational placement of managed vehicles as necessary for rental activity. Vehicle-specific storage or staging arrangements are determined during onboarding based on the vehicle and the operating plan. Amped does not promise dedicated long-term storage, airport storage or a particular facility.

Before a vehicle joins the managed fleet, Amped verifies ownership or financing, registration, insurance, vehicle condition, maintenance information and applicable lender or lessor requirements. Approved vehicles also complete an Amped intake inspection, a condition record and a management agreement before activation. The full checklist comes after conditional approval — the first step is a short qualification form.

The program begins with an initial three-month term. After that it may continue month-to-month unless terminated or replaced by another written agreement. Either party may terminate with 30 days’ written notice, subject to confirmed reservations, vehicle return, pending claims or transactions and final accounting. The signed agreement controls.

Amped’s. Approved vehicles are listed on Amped Auto Rentals’ existing Turo host account, alongside Amped’s own fleet, and may also be offered through Amped’s direct-booking operation. Owners are added to Amped’s Turo hosting team with limited access. Owner Turo access is provided for transparency and operational awareness. It allows the owner to see reservations, trip activity, guest messages, and vehicle-related reports so the owner understands how the vehicle is being used and can help Amped address maintenance, repair, damage, safety, recall, charging/fueling, or vehicle-condition issues in real time. Owner access does not include pricing, discounts, availability, rate strategy, or calendar control. Amped remains responsible for guest communication, booking requests, trip changes, pricing, calendar management, and rental administration. Turo’s hosting-team permissions do not include host earnings or trip receipts, so the monthly owner statement remains the record of revenue, expenses and distributions.

Amped reviews the vehicle and the economics, then either declines, asks for more information, or issues a conditional acceptance. Documentation verification, intake inspection, agreement and insurance setup, listing and fleet setup, and launch follow. Monthly reporting and distributions begin after the vehicle starts renting.
