Airbnb for cars: Here is how you can rent your car for extra income Updated: Tags: HOUSTON – Between working from home and shutdowns, most people are driving a lot less these days. Instead of just letting the car sit in the driveway, some are using their vehicles to earn extra income. Since the pandemic started, George Johnson has met a steady stream of people who want to rent his vehicles. “Mostly you know, business people,” Johnson explained. “They might have their car in the shop. And they want to get a rental... something nice that they don’t have.” Johnson rents three of his luxury vehicles on the website Turo. It’s the world’s largest peer-to-peer car-sharing site. Johnson rents out a 2018 RangeRover, a ZO6 Corvette and a Mercedes Benz S-Class.
