Personal Vehicle Sharing Programs (PVSP) Give Rise to Insurance Issues

By The Law Offices of John Day, P.C. on Dec 11, 2023 05:59 am

You have undoubtedly read about (and perhaps even used)  a personal vehicle sharing program (also known as a peer-to-peer car sharing program) like Turo, which allows you to rent another person’s car for a defined period of time.  Turo puts car owners together with people who have a short-term need for a vehicle.  Need a 2018 Porsche Macan in Chicago?  $312, unlimited miles.
