Drivers can browse, book, and unlock vehicles through the Turo app, enjoying a completely keyless experience. Turo takes care of payments, driver verification, roadside support, and protection plans, which allows Munao to focus on growing the fleet and delivering a premium customer experience.
“Turo gave me the tools to build a real business without the massive costs of a traditional rental company,” said Munao. “It’s a true partnership — I manage the fleet, they provide the infrastructure.”

A New Mobility Model for Sydney
As Sydney embraces flexible transport solutions, peer-to-peer car sharing is becoming a major alternative to traditional car ownership. Chippendale Car Rental represents a new generation of local mobility entrepreneurs using technology to deliver affordable and reliable transport options.
“Owning a car in the city isn’t essential anymore,” Munao said. “Turo lets people access great cars when they need them — and gives operators like me the structure to build a strong business.”
