The service offers short-term access to Porsche vehicles owned privately individuals. Following the introduction of the "Porsche Passport" subscription model last year, this latest development is the next step in the process of developing new rental concepts.
Porsche Host is a peer-to-peer car sharing program, and has been developed by Porsche Digital, Inc. working in collaboration with it's partner Turo. the program will begin and be available in Los Angeles and San Francisco via the Turo app and the website from October 8. This will open up the Porsche driving experience to short-term users in addition to those who own a Porsche. Vehicles can be rented for a period of one day all the way up to one month.
Turo was founded in 2009 and is based in San Francisco, California. It is a car-sharing marketplace that allows drivers to hire vehicles owned by private individuals. The vehicles available via the "Porsche Host" program belong to Porsche customers who have been specifically trained in how to provide the premium experience that is typical of Porsche to the drivers who are looking to rent their sports cars.
"Partnerships with innovators like Turo are the key in ensuring that we can turn our vision into reality and provide our customers with completely new Porsche experiences," says Thilo Koslowski, CEO of Porsche Digital, Inc. And he adds, "By working with our partners, we are able to develop new mobility offerings and business models."
"The collaboration with Porsche is a fantastic opportunity to reach a large number of enthusiasts via our marketplace," explains Andre Haddad, CEO of Turo. "I have always been a Porsche fan myself, and I enjoy the feeling of handing over the keys to my own 911 to another Porsche connoisseur for a short time."
