Your vehicle is your business. Keep it running.
Unexpected mechanical breakdowns don't just cost money — they cost bookings. Mechanical Coverage by Tint protects Turo hosts from the cost of major vehicle system failures, with roadside assistance included in every plan. Because a vehicle that's offline is a host who isn't earning.
Real coverage for what actually stops a host.
Standard insurance covers accidents. Mechanical Coverage covers what happens in between — the breakdowns, the failed components, the repairs that weren't in the plan. For Turo hosts, a vehicle out of service isn't just inconvenient. It's lost income, cancelled trips, and unhappy guests. Mechanical Coverage is designed to close that gap.
Major mechanical failures
Coverage for unexpected breakdowns of key vehicle components — the kind of repairs that can sideline a vehicle for days and cost thousands of dollars. Mechanical Coverage pays when something critical breaks down, not just when there's a collision.
Roadside assistance included
Every plan includes roadside assistance — towing, jump starts, lockouts, flat tires. It's included with every Mechanical Coverage plan and applies even when a vehicle is on a Turo trip. Roadside assistance cannot be purchased separately.
Commercial use covered
This policy explicitly covers commercial use — meaning the vehicles you list and earn income on through Turo are eligible. No carve-outs for the way hosts actually use their cars.
Three plans. One for every host.
Choose the plan that fits your vehicle and your risk tolerance. Coverage applies to a specific VIN and is based on time or mileage — whichever comes first. Flexible deductible options available: $100, $250, or $500.
Powertrain
Core coverage
Coverage focused on the core drivetrain components — engine, transmission, and drive axle. The right entry point for hosts looking to protect against the most expensive mechanical failures.
Plus
Extended coverage
Everything in Powertrain, plus extended coverage across additional vehicle systems. For hosts who want broader protection without going all-in on the top tier.
Premium
Most comprehensive
The most comprehensive plan — covering the widest range of vehicle systems and components. Built for hosts who rely heavily on their vehicles and want maximum peace of mind.

Choose Powertrain, Plus, or Premium for each eligible vehicle. Coverage is tied to the VIN — one plan per vehicle, applied consistently for the coverage term.
Waiting period
Coverage activates after a 30-day and 1,000-mile waiting period from your start date. An odometer photo is required within the first 30 days to confirm eligibility.
Coverage active
Your vehicle is covered for mechanical breakdowns during your term — whether it's between trips or on an active Turo booking. Roadside assistance is available from day one.
