Based in San Francisco, CA, Turo is a small company with only 200 employees and an annual revenue of $96.0M.
The staff at Turo come from unusually diverse demographic backgrounds. The company is 45.8% female and 39.0% ethnic minorities. Even though it has great demographic diversity, Turo notably lacks in political diversity. It has an unusually high proportion of employees who are members of the Democratic Party, at 90.0%. Despite having coworkers who agree with each other about politics, employees at Turo tend to have relatively short tenures. Staff members usually stay with the company for 2.7 years.
The company was formerly called "RelayRides".
A news article from May 2024 about Turo cars being stolen then driven down to Mexico for use by cartels.
(Unconfirmed twitter post) "Turo’s been associated with renting cars used for drug trafficking and human smuggling. It’s a shady business."
It was apparently easy to rent a Turo car without proper ID checks, unlike regular rental cars.
Turo had plans for an IPO later this year. A lot of hosts (the actual car owners) werent happy with many of the recent changes leading up to the IPO:

List of current company directors:
Even if it's not nefarious and they are running a legit business, any "progressive" company will always cater to "equality and fairness" to a fault. By refusing to discern and judge, they are welcoming their own demise. {And everyone's}
And that's in the highly dubious event that they aren't complicit.
I think when it comes to complicity, it’s even worse than that. These woke companies probably have undercover operatives in IT positions sharing high level credentials, sensitive info from HR etc. “Security for thee but not for me.”
A few people run this and they hire the DEI as cover. They hire dummies who don't realize it isn't a company that's trying to grow as they are there just to support the criminal syndicate. Then the DEI think they are valuable since they have "experience" and then other companies hire them...
