Two weeks after it shocked Australian car share operators by pulling the pin on the product that let people rent out their cars, Uber has signed a partnership with US-based operator Turo, which will begin offering its cars through Uber’s app next year.
Turo, which is the world’s largest peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace, has operated in Australia since 2022 and was previously a rival to Uber’s car-share division. It has now signed a multi-year partnership that will let Uber users rent vehicles from Turo’s collection directly from the Uber app.
