Airbnb for cars is here. And the rental car giants are not happy. - The Washington Post
'Those rental companies — represented by the American Car Rental Association — say that car-sharing companies such as Turo are clearly car-rental companies. '
'If turned into law, those regulations would treat car-sharing companies like traditional rental car companies. '
'After landing and baggage claim, you wait in line for a shuttle that drives you to a rental car company, sometimes miles away. '
'Turo officials say their company is a technology platform that allows car owners to earn extra cash, not a rental car company. '
'The bill under debate would also force Turo to abide by the same permitting process at airports as rental car companies. '
