Content is above and beyond. Glad I found you. So resourceful

I’m an insurance agent and I own an Insurance Agency. Turo is not car sharing. It’s a car rental business. That’s why most insurance companies do not allow it. Right now Travelers is the company insuring vehicles for Turo. And when you put your car in your business name, it cost more in premium. The only way to get insurance when the car is registered in a business name or LLC is business insurance. Business auto insurance cost a lot more than personal insurance. When hosting on Turo you will need two policies. One with Turo when the vehicle is rented and your personal or business auto policy when it’s not.

How would I go about transferring the title to the trust if I get it with a personal loan with Navy fed. After the DMV sends me the title, they’ll want to be added to the it as the lien holder. Do I transfer it to the trust before I add them as the lien holder ?

Clint, one scenario I didn't see quite covered is if the car was financed through a business loan, so the car is already in the name of my LLC. In this scenario, can I create a separate Biz LLC and lease the car to the Biz LLC so that I don't do Turo business in the asset holding entity where the car is financed? If not, what are my options so that I can separate doing business where the car is owned?

You will need to check with your local DMV.

Just starting a Turo business. Am I doing this approach correctly... If I open an LLC, purchase a car/cars under that LLC, with a line of credit from that business account. The ownership of the car is under my LLC business. Then I wouldn't need to worry about transferring ownership from personal name and the banks questioning the ownership? Is this the right line of thinking? Now I just need to find a low interest business loan, not sure that it even exists.. Then open the 2nd LLC to control the operating side/money intake side of business.

Clint, thank you so much for this incredible information. I've been curious how Anderson Advisors would approach this (I'm currently a Platinum member). I have some follow up questions: #1 I have a loan on one of my vehicles in my name. Based on what you've described, I should be moving that to a trust owned by an LLC's (California) property trust. How can that be done if I don't have the title yet because the title is held by the lender? I would assume that I would only be changing the registration with the DMV from my name to the name of the trust. #2 Will the loan company continue to report payments in my name or in the name of the trust? My goal is to get the loan out of my own name (debt to income ratio problem) so that I can buy another vehicle.

Nav, Thanks for watching and the comment.

I did my hard research just recently and for most areas it is not really profitable. What is happening is that there is so much competition - the smaller fleets and owners of one or two cars are lowering their price/day just to GET BY and pay their loan and other expenses. They do not care about profit at this time. So there is a price war to the downside. This in turn is causing the larger fleets to do the same... in fact, a lot of mid-large fleet owners are SELLING their fleet to bring in income and to get out of the business!! According to the numbers of my local area - owners of 6 - 9 vehicles are only doing about $80 per month/vehicle @ average of 4 days rented ... to $118 / month / vehicle @ average of 6 days rented on the lower end. On the higher end; $509/month per vehicle @ avg of 4 days rented ... to $763/month per vehicle @ avg of 6 days rented. Remember, those are GROSS figures not NET - you still need to include cost of maintenance, gas, cleaning, repairs, insurance, parking, etc., which is about 67.5% of GROSS. Now, do the math...

Awesome content as always, Clint. But it does raise a couple of questions: We are looking at purchasing an RV with financing and renting it on platforms like RVezy when we are not using it. I assume this would apply just as it does for car sharing platforms like Turo. My questions is, once the Trust is created and the LLC assigned as the beneficiary, how does the income that the Trust produces by renting out the vehicle flow to the LLC and then to flow to us?

Great video! Question: if I do own the vehicle outright, why do I need the dual LLC structure? Can't I keep the *legal* ownership under my own name, and then set the *registered* owner as the business LLC? That way, I have the same asset protection benefits but with a simpler (single LLC) structure. Is it because an LLC is required in order to *lease* the vehicle? Or is it because of something else? Thanks!

To answer my own question: I think it's because you also want to protect the assets from someone suing me personally (not the business LLC). I guess it's less likely that someone will sue the ownership LLC since it just sits there and does nothing, so it's hard to claim it wronged you in some way.

You could but an LLC has fewer formalities and it provides charging order protections for its member.

Does the truck LLC need a business license , fed ein # etc etc or is the truck LLC fine by itself ?

These questions assume I will have more than one vehicle What tax election should be made for the Vehicle LLC (if you own the vehicle?) Does each of the entities need to be established in the same state where the car is located? Do you reccomend that each vehicle owned by the Vehicle LLC be held in a cell of a Series LLC (Texas)? Should the Vehicle LLC be a Wyoming LLC to maintain privacy of legal ownership? Should the Biz LLC (Texas) be owned by a Wyoming LLC? Can you register a vehicle in Texas if it is owned by a Wyoming LLC? Is the lease income received by the Vehicle LLC considered passive or active income?

The LLC should be set up in the state where your are registering the vehicle. The Vehicle LLC will be disregarded to the Wyoming LLC that can be set up as a partnership or disregarded LLC. The income generated from the lease of your vehicle to your operating entity will be considered ordinary income or active income depending on whether you are considered to be in the business of leasing personal property..

Question for you - we have an existing C Corp that we're looking to use some of it's capital for other investments. We're considering a Turo business. In that case the new LLC (or 2 of them) would go under the umbrella of the C Corp? Does that keep the C Corp free from liability?

My brother is worried about the legal implications of purchasing and registering a car in the name of a trust and having the trustee (a business) resign as trustee shortly after and not updating ur registration to the successor trustee with the state. If an accident happens with the car and the business has already resigned, could I get in trouble for doing this and misleading lawyers and what not?

The registered owner is liable which is the trust. A trustee is not liable unless it was negligent.

@@ClintCoons for the car registration. My trust owns the car. Business 1 is listed as the trustee of the trust in the car registration with the state. He’s saying that if I resign and give the trustee position to the successor trustee and not tell the DMV, I’ll get a fine if they ever found out somehow (a lawsuit) because I’m supposed to update the trust info with the car registration. I’m assuming ur line of thinking is that it’s much better to get a possible fine then to lose all of ur assets in ur business in a lawsuit. I think that’s valid and makes sense

If the business LLC has very minimum assets because it leases the truck then the business LLC would just pay the uninsured motorist fee which is $500 and save alot of money by not paying traditional insurance which is very expensive

Thank you soo much. this is very helpful. can you please make a video on Turo taxes? especially standard mileage deductions and limits Question: 1. if you create the 2 LLCs, which of the LLC is used to file taxes and which LLC benefits the standard mileage deduction? 2. To be eligible for standard mileage deduction, IRS limits to 4 vehicles. Is this limit per individual or per couple filing jointly. Can a couple have 2 LLCs (1 per couple) with 8 vehicles total still use the standard mileage deduction in Turo business?

I’m blown away! Thank you for the video, it was very informative 👍🏽

What if I already have an established LLC with 5-6 vehicles registered under it already, also a turo profile with many reviews and An all star host status. How do I go about protecting that instead of starting over (turo, re-registering ) and transferring everything to the new LLC?

I'm just a nobody watching the content... but maybe you keep the LLC you have established on Turo, As the operating business. And change the ownership of the cars into the 2nd LLC. Then lease out those cars to the operating LLC. I'd ask someone with legal merit, but that's what I'm seeing from the info here.
