Anybody dispute Turo damage claims with CC? I assume they blacklist?

There was allegedly an incident, but for some reason they have not taken the $ from the CC on file. They are just saying that I have an unpaid invoice, and cannot rent in the future before i pay the outstanding invoice.

  We rented a car from Turo this summer, and and an overall good experience.  When we got the bill for tolls, we noticed a couple of problems, so we contacted the "host".  He cancelled the charge and recalculated what we owed before resubmitting the charge.

Just keep in mind - when you look at the prices, they look amazing, but once you add in insurance and other fees, you may not save as much over a regular rental as it looks like at first.

Is the coverage they offer sufficient and protects you for all liability? What about collision?
I heard it's like ride share and you're not covered with your own Geico like a regular car rental?

their coverage only covers whats legally needed. however for you to be covered if your rental car is damaged I think you have to take coverage from turo otherwise no alternate options such as your own insurance and cc will cover.

State Farm will cover your rental and offer the identical coverage as if it's your primary car.
