An alternative to Turo, Getaround and Roadstr for renting a sports car in Paris
On Turo, Getaround or Roadstr, you rent an owner's car, with their rules, an insurance plan to pick, upkeep you cannot see and a meeting point for the keys. At GT Location the sports cars are ours: we maintain them, deliver them to you, come back to collect them, and the terms are the same on every rental.
And the difference starts at booking: where the platforms ask for 5, 7 or even 10 years of licence for upmarket cars, our GTI Clubsport is open from age 20 with 2 years of licence, with no young-driver fee.
Platform terms read on 14 October 2026 from their public pages.
02The bad surprises you avoid
Renting a private owner's car means accepting unknowns: their insurance, their upkeep, their availability, their meeting point. Here is what can happen on a platform, according to their own terms, and what happens with us.
Insurance, one more choice to make
On the platformsTuro offers three protection plans, Premier, Standard or Limited. With Limited, you remain liable for up to €3,000 of damage and €500 is taken from your card after a claim. Whatever the plan, mechanical and interior damage stays with you, plus a €90 fee per claim. On Getaround, lowering the excess means adding an option.
At GT LocationOne plan, comprehensive, included in the price with 24/7 assistance: nothing to choose, nothing to add.
The owner who cancels or does not turn up
On the platformsGetaround provides for a car that is unavailable or an owner who misses the handover: you are refunded, but you have no car on the day.
At GT LocationRenting our cars is our job: a firm booking is delivered by us, at the agreed time. The only slot that can be cancelled, 24 hours at the week-end, is flagged before you pay and fully refunded.
