A prompt to build your own version of Turo

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Turo-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for people who want to rent cars from local owners. The main screen should show nearby cars in clean cards with a photo, daily price, neighborhood, and car type. Let me search by neighborhood and tap a car to see more photos, its description, pickup area, and owner details. On the detail screen, let me choose start and end dates and send a rental request that appears as pending approval. Add an owner screen where I can create a listing with photos, a description, and a daily price. Use realistic sample cars, owners, and rental requests for now. Keep the design simple and trustworthy, with white backgrounds, dark text, and blue buttons. Do not add payments yet.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Turo won't have

Turo brings together existing car owners and renters, with trip reviews and insurance arrangements that a homemade booking app would not inherit.

  • Turo's car owners and renters
  • Past trip reviews
  • Turo's insurance partner agreements
  • Dedicated claims handling team
