The Salt Lake City Council took action Tuesday that may soon end a Wild West situation for peer-to-peer car-sharing company Turo at Salt Lake City International Airport.
It passed an ordinance to allow — after a 90-day warning period ends — handing out hefty $500 tickets to people who use Turo and similar companies to rent their personal cars there, unless the company starts paying airport fees.
Turo has escaped those fees and many taxes by claiming it really isn’t a car rental company, that it just connects those who want to rent their cars with customers.
