How to Split Earnings Fairly with Your Turo Co-Host

Splitting earnings fairly with your Turo co-host is crucial for maintaining a healthy and transparent partnership. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure both parties feel valued and fairly compensated.

Why Fair Splits Matter

A fair earnings split is the foundation of any successful co-hosting partnership. It:

Builds trust between co-hosts
Prevents disputes over money
Encourages collaboration and mutual investment
Ensures long-term partnership success

Common Split Structures

50/50 Split

The most straightforward approach where both co-hosts receive equal shares after expenses.

Best for:

Equal contribution partnerships
Similar time investment from both parties
Shared vehicle ownership

Percentage-Based Split

Split based on agreed percentages (e.g., 60/40, 70/30).

Best for:

Different levels of contribution
One partner owns the vehicle
Varying time commitments

Revenue vs. Profit Splits

Revenue split: Split gross earnings before expenses
Profit split: Split net earnings after all expenses

Key Factors to Consider

1. Vehicle Ownership

Who owns the vehicle?
Who is responsible for maintenance and insurance?
How does this affect the split percentage?

2. Time Investment

Who handles customer communication?
Who manages bookings and scheduling?
Who performs vehicle maintenance and cleaning?

3. Financial Contributions

Who covers initial setup costs?
Who pays for marketing and advertising?
Who handles emergency expenses?

4. Risk and Liability

Who assumes financial risk?
Who handles insurance claims?
Who manages legal responsibilities?
