Turo maintains community standards by closing accounts that violate policies, which ensures a safe and trusted marketplace for all users. This article explains the closure process, including notification timelines and the impact on host listings and trips.

## Reasons for host account closures

Turo expects hosts to follow our policies and comply with the [Terms of service](https://turo.com/us/en/policies/terms). Hosts receive training and access to [hosting guidelines](https://help.turo.com/hosting-standards-and-tips-rJyaHVlEq) before listing their first vehicle, information which remains available in the Help Center and Terms of service.

Your account can be closed for behavior that includes, but isn’t limited to:

*   **Discriminatory practices:** Violating Turo’s [nondiscrimination policy](https://turo.com/us/en/policies/nondiscrimination).
    
*   **Misleading listings:** Creating [false or misleading vehicle listings](https://help.turo.com/en_us/vehicle-misrepresentation-SkLQ84eNc).
    
*   **Gray market:** Engaging in [gray market transactions](https://help.turo.com/gray-market-transaction-policy-or-hosts-SJOUUNlN5).
    
*   **Trip cancellations:** Repeatedly [canceling trips](https://help.turo.com/en_us/canceling-a-trip-with-your-guest-HkkzLVlE5).
    
*   **Quality standards:** Failing to meet Turo’s [quality standards](https://help.turo.com/quality-standards-SJ10p9JEJl).
    

## Turo’s host account closure process

### Closure notifications

Hosts will receive email notifications at least 30 days before their account closes. If a host has an ongoing or upcoming trip, their account closure date will be 90 days after their last trip ends. Hosts also receive email notifications when their account closes. Closures for fraud or trust and safety reasons are immediate, without prior notice.

### Account restrictions

Once Turo determines a host engaged in prohibited behavior that warrants account closure, we place these restrictions on the host account: 

*   **Vehicle listings:** Turo immediately removes a host’s vehicles from search results and prevents guests from modifying existing trips.
    
*   **In-progress trips:** Trips continue as scheduled.
    
*   **Trips starting within 72 hours:** Trips go ahead as planned.
    
*   **Trips starting in more than 72 hours:** Trips are canceled, and no earnings are paid to hosts. 
    
*   **Account access:** Hosts can still log in to Turo until the account officially closes. 
    

## Account closure final actions 

### Reimbursement requests

Reimbursement submission deadlines start when the host’s last trip ends and vary by type:

*   **Tickets and tolls:** 90 days.
    
*   **Fuel, charging, distance, and cleaning:** 72 hours.
    

### Earnings payouts

Turo issues all payments owed to a host via direct deposit to their linked bank account. 

### Earnings and tax records

Once an account closes, Turo emails the host with trip earnings by vehicle and a tax summary for each year they hosted on Turo, except for the current year, which will be emailed by January 31 of the following year. The file shows trip earnings after sales tax, host incentives, and reimbursements, but does not include Turo or host fees. The tax summary will include the gross earnings value for tax reporting purposes only. 

Download the trip earnings CSV from the [Earnings page](https://help.turo.com/viewing-your-earnings) any time before the account closes.

**US hosts:** Read [about 1099-K eligibility and timing](https://help.turo.com/receiving-a-1099-k-form-r1cFHEl4q).

### Trip bookings as a guest

When Turo closes a host account, that host cannot book trips as a guest.

### Account closure appeals

*   **UK hosts:** Hosts can appeal their account closure by contacting customer support.
    
*   **France hosts:** Hosts can appeal their account closure by following the France-specific dispute resolution process in Turo’s [Terms of service](https://turo.com/fr/fr/reglements/conditions).
