}About the turo.com API
The Turo API exposes 2 endpoints that cover peer-to-peer car rental search and vehicle detail retrieval from Turo.com. The search_cars endpoint accepts location, date range, price filters, and make filters, returning vehicle listings with daily pricing, trip ratings, and completed-trip counts. The get_vehicle_detail endpoint returns over 15 fields per vehicle including specs, host profile, trim level, color, and a direct listing URL.
Search Rental Cars by Location and Filters
The search_cars endpoint accepts a location string (city or city/state format), start_date and end_date in YYYY-MM-DD format, and optional filters including min_price, max_price, and make (comma-separated values like Tesla,BMW). Results are sortable via sort_type with options RELEVANCE, PRICE, or DISTANCE. The response includes a vehicles array where each object carries the vehicle id, make, model, year, type, avg_daily_price, currency, rating, completed_trips, and the vehicle's city and state. The response also surfaces total_results and returned_count so you can track coverage, plus a price_range object with min, max, and currency.
Vehicle Detail by ID
The get_vehicle_detail endpoint takes a vehicle_id (obtained from search_cars results) along with optional start_date, end_date, start_time, and end_time parameters to retrieve date-specific pricing. The response includes the vehicle's make, model, year, trim, color, and type, as well as a specs object covering transmission, fuel_type, mpg, seats, and doors. Host data comes back under the host object with name, id, and is_all_star status. The url field provides the full Turo listing link for deep-linking into the platform.
Availability and Known Limitations
Cloudflare protection on Turo may intermittently affect request success. The API handles this at the infrastructure level, but occasional transient failures are possible. Date parameters default to a 7-to-10-day window from the current date when not supplied, which affects both search results and pricing returned by get_vehicle_detail. The limit parameter on search_cars controls result set size when you need to cap output for downstream processing.

Does Turo have an official public developer API?+
What does `search_cars` return for each vehicle, and how granular are the filters?+
vehicles array includes id, make, model, year, type, avg_daily_price, currency, rating, completed_trips, city, and state. Filters include min_price, max_price, a comma-separated make string, and sort_type (RELEVANCE, PRICE, or DISTANCE). You can also cap the result count with the limit parameter.Are vehicle images returned by the API?+
get_vehicle_detail endpoint is described as returning images, but the current documented response schema does not expose a separate image array in the field list above. The API covers core specs, host data, pricing, and listing URLs. You can fork it on Parse and revise to explicitly surface the images field if that data is present in the underlying response.Does the API support booking or reservation creation?+
search_cars retrieves available listings and get_vehicle_detail returns vehicle and pricing data. You can fork it on Parse and revise to add any booking-adjacent endpoint if that surface becomes accessible.How should I handle intermittent failures when querying `search_cars`?+
search_cars calls, especially for high-frequency polling use cases.
