“I lost my regular job at the start of Covid, and members of my family have also lost earnings and still haven't come back to pre-pandemic levels of income. Not only has Turo enabled my family to feed and take care of our four children, I believe it has been a boon to tourism industry in Alaska. Over the last year, time and again I have heard testaments from travelers that they would have canceled their trips to our great state had they not found Turo, due to unavailability of cars through regular rental agencies. We are talking $millions that would not have been spent on our local economy.”

“I travel to ANC monthly to assist my aging parents (both in their 90’s). I need an economical way to get to the MatSu and back. Turo is the only company I can guarantee to get snow tires and cars safe to drive in the winter. Commercial companies have fancy 4 wheel drive cars with bald summer tires. Turo shouldn’t be unfairly taxed. They are a life saver for me.”

“Turo matters to me because it enables me to follow the American dream. It is another way for me to be a small business owner and generate revenue for my family. I want to teach my kids and my family that you can do things to help supplement income. Turo matters to me because, we live in the land of the free in the home of the brave. Having the ability to share, our vehicles is a freedom that I want to protect.”

“Living in Alaska requires plenty of work on my home to protect it from harsh elements. Using Turo is one of the main means of how I am able to fund annual projects and weatherizing of my home. Taking away or limiting my ability to do that would impact many [...]. Please don't take away that opportunity to Alaskans. Thank you.”

“Transportation is a challenge in Alaska, especially in small communities where there is NO rental agencies. Turo can make a huge difference for Alaska [...].”

“Turo is my main source of income. It allows me to offer a service to our town's cruise industry. This revenue give me the flexibility to spend more money locally.”
