New partnership between La Capitale General Insurance and Turo

This advertorial is brought to you by La Capitale

The new partnership with Turo allows La Capitale General Insurance clients to rent out their vehicle by listing it on Turo!

This online platform connects vehicle owners with drivers wishing to rent those vehicles. With this safe, secure car-sharing service, you can make extra money by renting out your car when it's not in use! This platform, which was previously exclusive to clients of Turo's commercial insurance partner, is now available to all auto insurance clients of La Capitale and its subsidiary, L'Unique!

Turo is on the ground floor of a rapidly growing trend: the sharing economy. Uber, Airbnb and HomeAway are other examples of P2P (peer-to-peer) platforms. In spite of the considerable popularity of these platforms, users must exercise considerable vigilance, given the potential risks of damage, liability or security associated with them.

The great advantage with Turo is that such risks are eliminated! The vehicles listed for rent on this platform are automatically covered by comprehensive commercial insurance and roadside assistance during each rental period. Moreover, its concept is not breaking the law, which is currently the case with Uber.

Hopefully, Turo will lead to the creation of other well-conceived turnkey platforms for sharing economy enthusiasts!
