Understanding the Indicators
This section explains the key metrics and performance indicators that you’ll encounter while using RentScout. These metrics help you evaluate the potential of each vehicle and make informed decisions for your Turo fleet.
Revenue Estimates and Demand
- Revenue Estimates: RentScout calculates revenue estimates based on previous bookings. To ensure accurate analysis, we use a 90% Protection Plan rate for convenience in the table. For annual revenue, if a car has been listed on Turo for less than a year, we calculate the average for the months it has been generating income.
- Demand: This indicator shows the percentage of time the car is booked relative to its availability. High demand often correlates with higher booking frequency and more stable revenue.
Vehicle Pricing and ROI
- Market Value: This is the car’s estimated market value, which is provided through a third-party service that includes the vehicle’s trim level (specific version or configuration) in its price. This value helps you assess the car’s worth in the current market.
- ROI (Return on Investment): This metric compares a car’s estimated income to its market value, showing you the potential return on investment for each vehicle in your fleet.
Depreciation, Maintenance, and Major Repair Probability
- Depreciation: RentScout estimates the depreciation rate of each vehicle based on data from a reliable third-party service. This helps you understand how much the car’s value is likely to decrease over time.
- Maintenance Cost: This metric is also provided by a trusted third-party service, giving an estimate of the vehicle’s maintenance costs over time.
- Major Repair Probability: RentScout calculates the likelihood of a car requiring major repairs based on factors such as age, mileage, and general wear and tear, using reliable third-party data.
