Does Turo integrate with QuickBooks Online?

Turo does not have a native QuickBooks Online integration. CarShareBooks bridges the gap by parsing Turo payout emails and automatically creating journal entries in QBO — no manual data entry required.

How does CarShareBooks get my Turo trip data?

CarShareBooks works two ways: you can forward your Turo payout emails to a unique CarShareBooks inbox address (trips are recorded automatically going forward), or upload a Turo CSV export to backfill your transaction history.

What QuickBooks plan do I need to use CarShareBooks?

CarShareBooks works with QuickBooks Online Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, and Advanced. Class tracking requires Plus or Advanced. Journal entry posting works on all plans.

Does CarShareBooks track cleaning fees, mileage charges, and tolls separately?

Yes. CarShareBooks parses each Turo payout line item individually — base rental income, Turo platform fees, extra mileage charges, cleaning fees, toll reimbursements, and damage claim payouts are all recorded as separate lines in the journal entry.

Can I track profit and loss per vehicle in QuickBooks using CarShareBooks?

Yes. CarShareBooks lets you assign a QuickBooks Class to each vehicle in your fleet. Every journal entry for that vehicle is tagged with its class, enabling per-vehicle P&L reports directly in QBO.

How long does it take to set up CarShareBooks?

Most hosts complete setup in under 10 minutes. The onboarding wizard walks you through connecting QuickBooks Online, mapping your income and expense accounts, and setting up email forwarding.

How do I categorize Turo income in QuickBooks?

In QuickBooks Online, Turo income is typically recorded as rental income or car sharing income under an income account you create (e.g. 'Turo Rental Income'). Turo platform fees are recorded as a separate expense (e.g. 'Turo Platform Fees'). CarShareBooks handles this split automatically — every journal entry separates gross earnings, platform fees, and net payout into the correct QBO accounts you map during setup.

Does CarShareBooks support accrual accounting for Turo?

Yes. CarShareBooks supports both cash basis and accrual basis accounting. In accrual mode, multi-day trips that span month boundaries are prorated — revenue is recognized day-by-day using a Deferred Revenue account, then released to income as the trip progresses. This is the correct treatment under GAAP for car sharing income.

Can I use CarShareBooks if I have multiple vehicles on Turo?

Yes. CarShareBooks supports multi-vehicle fleets. Each vehicle in your fleet can be assigned a QuickBooks Class and Location tag, so every journal entry is automatically tagged to the correct vehicle. This enables per-vehicle profit and loss reports directly in QuickBooks Online without any manual tagging.

What is the Turo platform fee and how is it recorded in QuickBooks?

Turo charges hosts a platform fee (typically 10-35% of the trip price) that is deducted from your gross earnings before payout. In QuickBooks, this fee should be recorded as a business expense — not netted against income. CarShareBooks automatically extracts the platform fee from each Turo payout email and records it as a separate debit line in the journal entry, giving you an accurate gross income figure and a separate expense deduction.
