  • What if I need a child safety seat or a stroller?

    We understand the importance of traveling with the necessary equipment for your children. To accommodate your needs, we offer child safety seats and strollers as optional add-ons, known as Extras, which you can include in your reservation. 


    How to Add a Child Safety Seat or Stroller to Your Reservation: 


    During Booking: 

      1. When selecting your vehicle, navigate to the "Extras" section on the listing page. 

      2. Browse the available add-ons and select the child safety seat or stroller that suits your requirements. 

      3. Proceed with the booking process; the selected Extras will be included in your reservation. 


    After Booking (Before Trip Start):

      2. Select your upcoming trip to view the trip details. 

      3. Scroll to the "Extras" section and choose the desired items.

    Important Considerations: 

    • Installation: For liability reasons and in compliance with Turo's policies, we are unable to install child safety seats for you. We recommend referring to the seat's manual, online tutorials, or visiting a local fire station for assistance with proper installation. 
    • Specifications: To ensure we provide the appropriate equipment, please inform us of your child's age, weight, and whether you require a forward-facing, rear-facing, or booster seat. This information helps us supply a seat that meets your specific needs.
    • Verification: Upon receiving the child safety seat or stroller, inspect it to confirm it meets your expectations and requirements. If it doesn't, please notify us immediately, and we will work to resolve the issue promptly. 

    If you encounter any difficulties adding these Extras to your reservation or have further questions, please contact us directly. We are here to assist you in ensuring a safe and comfortable journey for you and your family. 

QUESTIONS FOR ONGOING RESERVATIONS

  • What type of gas should I use for this car?

    The required fuel type for your rental vehicle is specified on our page for your specific vehicle https://www.mshrentals.com/vehicle-info , you can also look on the gas cap or inside the driver’s door panel. If you’re unsure, we recommend checking these locations first. 


    Additionally, you can verify the correct octane level by searching for the car’s year, make, and model on Google. If you have any doubts, feel free to contact us before refueling to avoid any issues.

  • Do I need to fill up the car before dropping it off?

    Yes, guests are required to return the vehicle with the same fuel level it had at the start of the trip, which is typically a full tank. 


    What happens if the tank is not refilled? 

    • If the vehicle is returned with less fuel than received, we will refuel it on your behalf and send you an invoice for the fuel cost. 
    • Turo automatically applies a $10 surcharge on top of the fuel cost. This is a Turo policy, and the surcharge is not set by us. 

    Want to skip refueling? 

    • Guests can prepay for fuel as an optional Extra during booking. 
    • By selecting this option, you won’t need to refill the tank before returning the car, making the checkout process faster and more convenient. 

    If you have any questions about fuel requirements or would like to add prepaid fuel to your trip, feel free to contact us!  

  • What should I do if I get a flat tire?

    If you experience a flat tire, please contact us immediately and also reach out to Turo’s roadside assistance for support. 


    We will ensure you receive the necessary assistance as quickly and efficiently as possible. If a replacement is needed, we will guide you through the process to minimize inconvenience. 

  • What should I do if I experience a loss of tire pressure?

    If you notice a loss of tire pressure, don’t worry—this is a common issue that can often be resolved quickly. 


    Step 1: Check and Refill the Tire with Air 

    • Locate the recommended tire pressure (PSI) for your vehicle. You can find this information inside the driver’s door panel or on the gas cap. 
    • Many gas stations, such as Wawa, offer free air stations where you can refill your tires. 
    • Many tire shops also provide this service for free—feel free to stop by one nearby. 

    Step 2: Possible Causes of Low Tire Pressure 

    • Weather changes: Fluctuations in temperature can naturally cause a drop in PSI. 
    • Road hazards: Small punctures from nails or debris on the road—even on highways—are common and can cause slow leaks. 

    Step 3: If the Issue Persists 

    • If the tire continues losing air, it may need a simple patch repair, which many shops offer for as little as $20. 
    • If you suspect a more serious issue, please contact us immediately so we can help coordinate a proper solution. 

    Tip: Often, filling the tire with air will allow you to safely reach your destination, giving us time to arrange a long-term fix without leaving you stranded in an unsafe location. If you’re ever unsure, reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist!  

  • What should I do if I experience any issues with the car?

    If you encounter any mechanical issues or concerns during your rental, please notify us immediately. We will assess the situation and provide you with the best solution, whether it’s troubleshooting remotely or coordinating necessary assistance. If needed, Turo’s roadside assistance is available to help with breakdowns or emergencies. 

  • Can I extend my trip? How do I request an extension?

    Yes! We are happy to accommodate trip extensions whenever possible. To request an extension, go to the Turo app, navigate to your trip, and select "Modify Trip" to enter your desired new return time and date. 


    If the system does not allow the extension, it is likely because another guest has already booked the car for that time. If this happens, please contact us, and we will do our best to assist you in finding an alternative solution that works for you. 

  • Can I shorten my trip and return the car early?

    Yes, you can modify your trip to return the vehicle earlier than planned. To do this, go to the Turo app and select "Modify Trip" to adjust the return time. If you have any concerns or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us. 

  • What should I do if Iโ€™m running late for drop-off?

    If you anticipate being late for your scheduled return, please inform us as soon as possible so we can adjust our logistics accordingly. Turo provides a 30-minute grace period without penalty. However, if the delay exceeds this timeframe, you may be subject to additional fees such as a late return fee or an additional usage fee. 


    To avoid these charges, we recommend processing a trip extension through the Turo app. 

  • Can I change my drop-off location?

    Yes, you can modify your drop-off location through the "Modify Trip" option in the Turo app. 


    However, please keep in mind: 

    • If you want to only change the drop-off location while keeping the pick-up location the same, this modification can only be made after the trip has started. 
    • If the new drop-off location is outside our free delivery zones, a delivery fee will apply to cover transportation costs. This fee is typically 50% of our standard delivery charge since it only affects drop-off and not pick-up. 

    If you need assistance with this change, feel free to reach out! 

  • What should I do if I experience a loss of tire pressure?

    A drop in tire pressure is common and may be caused by: 

    • Weather changes, which naturally reduce PSI levels. 
    • Nails or road debris, which can cause slow leaks, even on highways. 

    Steps to take: 

    1. Check the proper tire pressure (PSI), which can be found on the driver’s door panel or the gas cap. 
    2. Refill the tires at a free air station, available at gas stations like Wawa or many local tire shops. 
    3. If the tire continues losing air, you may need a small patch repair—most shops charge around $20 for this service. 
    4. 4. If the issue persists, contact us immediately so we can help find the best solution. 

    ๐Ÿ’ก Filling the tire with air can help you safely reach your destination, allowing us to arrange a permanent fix without leaving you stranded. 

  • What happens if I am involved in an accident or damage the vehicle?

    1. Notify us immediately. 
    2. Take clear photos of the damage and surrounding area. 
    3. If the car is no longer drivable, contact Turo Roadside Assistance to request a tow truck.

  • How do toll transponders work? What happens with toll charges?
