Turo Accounting, Automated
CarShareBooks connects Turo to QuickBooks Online. Every trip completion email is automatically parsed and posted as a journal entry — gross earnings, platform fees, cleaning fees, and net payout, all mapped to the correct QuickBooks Online accounts.
How It Works
- Forward your Turo emails to your unique CarShareBooks inbox address. Takes 2 minutes to set up.
- Trips are parsed automatically. Every payout email is split into line items: gross income, Turo platform fee, extra mileage, cleaning fees, and tolls.
- Journal entries post to QuickBooks Online. Each trip becomes a double-entry journal entry in QuickBooks Online, tagged with the correct accounts and vehicle class.
- Reconcile in one click. Upload your bank statement CSV and CarShareBooks matches each deposit to the corresponding Turo payout.
Features
- Email Parsing — Automatically captures Turo trip completion, reimbursement, and payout emails. Extracts Trip ID, gross earnings, Turo platform fee, and net payout in real time.
- CSV Diff Engine — Upload your monthly Turo CSV export. The diff engine compares it against email-parsed records by Trip ID and generates adjustment entries for extra mileage, cleaning fees, and damage payouts.
- Turo Clearing Account — Sales Receipts post to a dedicated Turo Clearing account. When batched ACH deposits hit your bank feed, they clear the account automatically.
- QuickBooks Online Integration — Full QuickBooks Online OAuth integration with a guided account mapping wizard. Every line item maps to the correct QuickBooks Online account from day one.
- Accrual & Cash Basis — Toggle between cash and accrual accounting. Accrual mode prorates multi-month trip revenue using a Deferred Revenue account.
- Reconciliation Dashboard — See every trip's reconciliation status at a glance. Discrepancy alerts surface unmatched deposits and missing charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Turo integrate with QuickBooks Online?
- Turo does not have a native QuickBooks Online integration. CarShareBooks bridges the gap — it parses your Turo payout emails and automatically creates journal entries in QuickBooks Online, so your books stay accurate without any manual data entry.
- How does CarShareBooks get my Turo trip data?
- Two ways: forward your Turo payout emails to a unique CarShareBooks inbox address and trips are recorded automatically going forward, or upload a Turo CSV export to backfill your full transaction history.
- Does CarShareBooks track cleaning fees, mileage charges, and tolls separately?
- Yes. Every Turo payout line item is recorded individually — base rental income, Turo platform fees, extra mileage charges, cleaning fees, toll reimbursements, and damage claim payouts each map to their own QuickBooks account.
- What QuickBooks Online plan do I need?
- CarShareBooks works with all QuickBooks Online plans — Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, and Advanced. Class tracking requires Plus or Advanced. Journal entry posting works on every plan.
- Can I track profit and loss per vehicle?
- Yes. Assign a QuickBooks Class to each vehicle in your fleet. Every journal entry for that car is tagged with its class, enabling per-vehicle P&L reports directly inside QuickBooks Online.
- How long does setup take?
- Most Turo hosts complete the full setup in under 10 minutes. The onboarding wizard walks you through connecting QuickBooks Online, mapping your income and expense accounts, and setting up email forwarding.
