Turo and GO Transit team up to bring Ontarians more travel options this summer

Start planning your Ontario vacations this summer because an exciting new partnership is providing seamless and convenient travel options for everyone.

Turo, Canada's leading peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace, is now GO Transit's official car sharing partner, strengthening Ontario's transportation system by allowing riders to book vehicle delivery at GO stations across the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

How about skipping the busy Highway 400 traffic and getting a Turo vehicle once you reach the Barrie GO Station, for a trip to Wasaga Beach?

Ideal for those looking to go beyond traditional transportation routes, Turo expands on GO Transit's extensive network, taking Ontarians wherever they desire, conveniently and without a hitch.

It's a win-win, providing travellers the flexibility to tour the province and beyond while also working towards fewer cars on the road that can be accessed by more people, whether you're flying from afar or looking for a car down the street.

Instead of the frustrating experience of renting an "economy vehicle or similar" from a car rental agency — and not knowing what you’ll end up getting — Turo guests can pick and book the exact make and model they want to drive for their occasion, such as a Tesla Model Y 2023 or a Porsche 718 2021.

In celebration of this exciting partnership, GO Transit and Turo are hosting a special in-person contest and immersive takeover of the Skywalk inside Toronto's Union Station.
