Everything you need to go from install to your first host-approved week of prices — in about five minutes.

Install the extension

Turo Host Pricing Lab is live on the Chrome Web Store — installing takes about a minute:

Add to Chrome — free

Open the Chrome Web Store listing

In Google Chrome, go to Turo Host Pricing Lab on the Chrome Web Store.

Click “Add to Chrome,” then “Add extension”

Chrome installs it in a couple of seconds — no account or sign-up required.

Pin it to your toolbar

Click the puzzle-piece icon in Chrome, then the pin next to Turo Host Pricing Lab so it's always one click away.

Updates are automatic Chrome keeps the extension up to date on its own — there's nothing to reinstall. After a big update, just refresh any open Turo tabs.

Quick start

The fastest path to value is a calendar scan on your own listing:

Open your Turo host calendar

Go to your vehicle's Trips → Calendar page on turo.com, signed in as the host.

Click the Turo Host Pricing Lab icon

It reads every upcoming day and shows the scan: prices, who set them, and — with Pro — which days fall below your floors.

Set your floors in the guardrail

Enter your minimum acceptable price for weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Red flags appear on any day below them.

Click “Apply next 7 days on Turo”

Review every proposed change in one card, then click Apply. The extension updates Turo's calendar for you — nothing saves until you confirm.

Nothing happens automatically The extension only reads a page when you open the popup on it, and only changes a price after you click Apply on the confirmation card. It never runs in the background or on a schedule.

Scan your calendar

Open the popup while you're on your Turo host Trips → Calendar page and it captures a full Calendar scan — every upcoming day it can see, in one table:

Calendar scan showing eight days with price, who set it, and a floor check column. — Each day shows its price, whether **you** or Turo's dynamic pricing set it, and — with Pro — how it compares to your floor.

For every day you'll see:

Price — the current nightly price on your calendar.
Set by — You (a custom price you set) or Turo (dynamic pricing). Booked days are marked and dimmed.
Floor PRO — a green check if the day clears your floor, or a red “▼ $X under” if it dips below.

The summary line at the top totals it up — how many days are yours vs. Turo's, how many are booked, and your average open-day price — so you can size up the week at a glance.

Where the prices come from The scan reads the same numbers Turo shows on your calendar. It never touches booked days, and it doesn't change anything just by scanning — it only reads.

Capture a single quote

You can also open the popup on any public Turo vehicle page — yours or a competitor's — to capture that listing's Visible quote:

Visible quote panel showing vehicle, daily average, trip total, mileage, and location. — The extension reads what's on the page — vehicle, dates, trip total, daily average, mileage terms — and never guesses the rest.

It pulls the vehicle, trip dates and length, the pre-tax trip total, the daily average, included mileage and overage rate, and the location when they're shown. Then “Use $X as Dynamic price baseline” drops that daily average straight into the guardrail so you can test a price in one click.

Honest by design If a field isn't visible on the page, it stays empty — you'll see “—”, never a made-up number. Every priced capture is saved to your local history so you can watch how a listing's price moves over time.

Set your price floors

The guardrail is the heart of the tool. It follows one transparent rule:

suggested price = the higher of:  Dynamic price × (1 + markup%)   —or—   your floor for that day

Pricing guardrail inputs and a suggested host price of $187.00/day with an explanation. — Every suggestion says **why** — whether the markup or the floor set the price — plus all three day-type prices at once.

You control four things:

Input	What it does
Dynamic price	Turo's recommendation from your host calendar — or the captured daily average as a baseline. Your suggestions track this number as Turo moves it.
Markup %	How far above (or below) the dynamic price you want to sit.
Date type	Weekday, weekend, or holiday. Auto-selected from the trip date — Fri–Sun count as weekend, and US holidays (plus peak days like Christmas Eve) count as holiday. You can always override it.
Floors	Your minimum acceptable price for each day type. A suggestion never drops below the active floor.

The explanation is always in plain English — for example, “Dynamic Pricing of $170.00 increased by 10% while staying above the weekend floor.” The line below shows the weekday, weekend, and holiday price together, with floor-bound ones marked, so you can price a whole week from one screen.

Event floor presets PRO One click scales your base rate into weekday / weekend / holiday floors tuned for big weekends, major holidays, or peak season.

Your real earnings

The price a guest sees is not what you keep. Enter your earnings-plan share (for example 80 for an 80% plan) in Host share % and the extension shows your estimated take:

On a captured quote — what that listing's current price would pay you per day.
On every suggestion — what the recommended price would actually put in your pocket.

An estimate, not a payout promise It applies your share to the nightly price only. Trip fees, taxes, Turo-applied discounts, and delivery aren't modeled — and the wording on screen always says so.

Apply prices — you approve, then it saves

Turo Host Pricing Lab can update your calendar for you. It's built so that nothing changes without your explicit confirmation. There are two ways to apply.

Apply a whole week (recommended)

From a calendar scan, “Apply next 7 days on Turo” opens a single preview of every change:

Bulk apply card listing four day-by-day changes with an Apply 4 changes button. — Every change in one place: today's price → the new price, and why. Prefer a shorter window? Pick **2–7 days** at the top.

Review the changes

Each row shows the day, its current price, the new price, and the reason — a floor fix, a markup, or an adjustment to a price you already set.

Pick your window

Default is the next 7 days. Use the Next 2–7 days picker to go shorter. Booked days and days already on target are skipped and counted for you.

Click Apply — once

The extension selects those days on Turo's calendar and sets each price for you. You never touch the calendar yourself, and nothing saves until this click.

It confirms and stops

You'll see the changes land on your calendar. Every apply is recorded in a local log on your device.

Heads-up on dynamic days When a day currently uses Turo dynamic pricing, setting a value switches it to a fixed custom price. The preview flags exactly how many days that affects before you apply.

Apply a single price

Under any suggested price you'll also find “Apply on Turo…” for a one-day change. Open your calendar to that date so the price editor is showing, then click it: a confirmation card appears on the Turo page with the exact current → new value, warns you if the page doesn't look like the right vehicle, and changes nothing until you press Apply there. Prefer to do it by hand? Copy puts the number on your clipboard.

What apply will never do It never runs in the background, never changes prices on a schedule, never touches a page you don't have open, and never acts without your confirmation click. If it can't confidently find the price field, it stops and tells you — it does not guess.

Compare with your competitors PRO

Floors keep you from going too low — Compare tells you where you actually sit in the market, so you don't leave money on the table either.

Open the Compare tab and pick your car

Choose one of your vehicles and a location. The extension opens a pre-filled Turo search in a new tab for that make, model, and area.

It reads the live results

Compare pulls the daily prices from that search and filters to your direct competitors — the same make and model — so you're comparing like with like, not against a car three trims up.

See the median and your rank

You get the local median daily price, where your rate ranks among direct competitors, and the wider market as a footnote — a clear read on whether to hold, raise, or trim.

Stays in your browser Compare only ever talks to Turo — it opens a normal Turo search and reads what's on the page. Nothing about your listings goes to any third-party server.

History & exports

Every priced capture is stored locally in Chrome — up to 250 snapshots, deduplicated, newest first. Export JSON / Export CSV PRO download your data for spreadsheets; Clear permanently deletes local history.

Your data is never held hostage Storage always keeps the full 250 snapshots regardless of plan. If a Pro subscription lapses, nothing is deleted — only the extended view and export are gated.

Privacy & security

The free features — calendar scan, weekday/weekend/holiday floors, earnings-share math, and “apply next 7 days” — are fully local: no account, no server, no background activity. One optional Pro feature (the AI pricing assistant) sends data off your device, and only when you ask it a question. Here is the full picture:

Free is local-first: captured quotes, settings, history, and the apply log live in Chrome storage on your device. The free pricing features never contact a server of ours.
No credentials: the extension never asks for your Turo password and never reads cookies, sessions, tokens, or browsing history.
No background activity: it reads a page only when you open the popup on it, and changes a price only when you start and confirm the action.
AI pricing assistant PRO — the one off-device flow: when you ask the assistant a question, the extension sends that question plus a compact summary of the pricing, calendar, and competitor context you chose to capture to our own proxy server (hosted on Vercel), which relays it to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the answer. It is used only to answer your question — never sold, never used for advertising — and is bounded by hard per-user and global monthly spend caps. If you never open the assistant, none of your captured data is ever transmitted.
Compare PRO stays in your browser: it opens a pre-filled Turo search in a new tab and reads the visible results to compute a local median and your rank. It only ever contacts Turo itself — no third-party server.
Pro verification: Pro access is checked server-side by matching your subscriber email against Stripe. Billing runs through ExtensionPay (built on Stripe) via extensionpay.com; the extension never sees or stores your card details.
No remote code: everything that runs ships inside the extension package.

Full policy: see the privacy practices on the Chrome Web Store listing.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Popup says to open a Turo page	Make sure the active tab is your Turo host calendar (or a public vehicle page). If the tab was open before you installed or updated the extension, reload it once.
Calendar scan looks empty	You need the host Trips → Calendar view with upcoming days visible. Scroll the calendar into view, then reopen the popup.
Floor column shows 🔒	Per-day floor checks are a Pro feature. Everything else in the scan works on Free.
“Nothing to change in the next 7 days”	Every open day is already at or above your target. Try a longer window, or lower a floor / raise your markup.
Apply card warns about the wrong vehicle	You're probably on a different car's calendar. Switch to the right vehicle before confirming — that warning exists precisely for this.
“No price field found” on a single apply	Open your calendar to the date first so the price editor is showing, then click Apply again. Or use the “Apply next 7 days” flow, which opens the editor for you.
Day type auto-set incorrectly	The classifier uses the trip date. Override the Date type dropdown — your choice always wins.
Pro won't unlock after paying	Close and reopen the popup; the license re-checks on every open. Still stuck? Click Manage → sign in with the email you used at checkout.
