The insurance companies have modified their internal guidelines to allow more policyholders to rent out their cars via Turo.


“This decision by La Capitale Financial Group points to the fast growth of Turo in Canada and the willingness of Canadian car owners to turn their cars into earning engines,” Cedric Mathieu, director of Canada for Turo, said in a release. “This is an important milestone in our journey to put Canada’s 23 million cars to better use and a strong signal that the insurance world is adapting to new consumer behaviours.”


“It’s exciting to be at the forefront of the expansion of the sharing economy. We’re thrilled to evolve our policies to allow our customers to join the Turo community,” said François Dumas, vice-president of La Capitale.
