About HostCaptain

The beginner-friendly launch pad for Turo hosts.

HostCaptain gives you the knowledge, tools, and discipline to build a profitable car rental business — whether you're renting your personal car or managing a growing fleet.

What We Do

Running a car-sharing business on Turo is rewarding, but also complex. Between guest disputes, protection plan decisions, financial tracking, and maintenance scheduling, hosts face dozens of decisions every week — often with incomplete information.

HostCaptain consolidates everything a host needs into a single platform so you can operate with confidence instead of confusion.

Who It's For

Platform Features

Turo Launch Kit

A comprehensive library of educational guides covering everything from signing up as a host and listing your first car, to understanding protection plans, setting prices, and handling your first rental. Over 50 articles organized by topic — no more sifting through forums and YouTube for conflicting advice.

Expert Playbooks

Interactive decision trees for high-stress scenarios like damage claims, late returns, and guest disputes. Each playbook walks you through the situation step-by-step, ensuring you never miss a critical action.

Business Dashboard

See your business at a glance. Monthly earnings and expense charts sit alongside per-vehicle performance cards that show revenue, expenses, net profit, and return-on-investment progress for every car in your fleet.

Earnings Tracking

Import your Turo trip CSV files directly into HostCaptain. The system parses trip details — guest names, dates, daily earnings, distance traveled, fees, and more — and presents summary stats including total earnings, average earnings per day, highest and lowest earning trips, and monthly earnings charts.

Expense Management

Track every business expense — maintenance, insurance, cleaning, loan payments, registration fees, and more. Assign expenses to specific vehicles or mark them as "Operations" for company-wide costs like LLC registration or office supplies.

Vehicle Fleet Management

Add vehicles with detailed information including year, make, model, trim, VIN, license plate, Turo vehicle ID, purchase price, mileage, and photos. Track each vehicle's earnings and expenses to see true profitability. Merge duplicate vehicle records and manage your fleet as it grows.

Maintenance Tracking

Schedule and track maintenance tasks per vehicle — oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, and more. Set due dates and mileage thresholds to stay on top of upkeep and avoid costly breakdowns.

Team Collaboration

Invite team members to your company account. Owners can manage members and share access to the business data — ideal for hosts who work with partners, cleaners, or operations staff.
