## Joining a hosting team 

If a host would like your help as a co-host, they’ll email you to join a hosting team. You must have your own Turo account to co-host. If you don’t, you’ll receive a prompt to create an account and get verified when you accept the host’s invitation.

If you already have a Turo account, make sure the email address on your invitation matches the email address on your account. If you still need to, ask the host to send you a new invitation with the updated email address. Your invitation will remain active for 30 days to accept or decline.

**Note:** If you’ve been active as a custodian on a host’s Turo account and your host wants to continue your working relationship, they must send you a co-hosting invitation. 

## Getting verified

If you need to create a Turo account or have an account that hasn’t yet completed verification, we’ll walk you through adding a profile photo, verifying your phone number, and uploading your driver’s license information. Set up and/or verify your account when you accept your host’s invitation, or do so by logging onto the Turo app or opening the drop-down menu on the top right of the Turo.com homepage. We’ll share your phone number with your host and our customer support team.  

Once we successfully verify your information and approve you as a co-host, we’ll notify you and share a link to your hosting team, where you can see the team’s vehicles and permissions. If we’re unable to approve you as a co-host, we’ll prompt you to contact customer support or to reach out to your host to discuss how to move forward.  

## Operating as a co-host

#### Vehicles and permissions

Hosts choose the vehicles a hosting team has access to and give [permission for features and functions](https://help.turo.com/permissions-for-hosting-teams-Sklzc59oT) accessible to the team. We’ll display those permissions on the team’s page.

#### Coordination

Get clear instructions from your host about your responsibilities for each trip. Certain actions can only happen once, such as accepting bookings and trip change requests, submitting invoices for incidentals, rating trips, and writing reviews. If your host has completed the action, you’ll be unable to do so, and vice versa. 

#### Visibility

If you’re a co-host on more than one team, we’ll show you the name of the vehicle’s host on a trip's **Details** and **Messages** pages. 

We’ll display the names and profile photos of all team co-hosts on the **Details** page of all trips in vehicles available to the team. We’ll show your name to guests when you send or reply to messages in Turo messaging and display your name and profile photo on ratings and reviews you complete.
