Turo - Issues with being approved

[403ep3]

I thought I would give Turo and just having major issues with my DL.
"After reviewing the information you provided us, we’re sorry to report that we’re not able to approve you to participate in the Turo marketplace because your driver’s license is either currently invalid, temporary, expired or will expire in the next two months, or we cannot otherwise verify the validity of your license."

Anyone else ever had issues trying to get verified and approved on Turo? Is it because Alberta has #'s instead of the alphabet for their classes? My DL was recently renewed in June 2021 so it's not close to invalid, temporary, or expired.

I've tried with two different chat reps.. time to give up I guess

This is happening to my friends right now too, they can't figure out why they're blacklisted from the app.....

It sucks because Turo would have been $300 cheaper than a rental company. I just closed my account.. wasted 3 hours of my life chatting with these chat reps

BC also has numbers for classes. Don't all provinces?

GDL license?

This could be it, thanks - never bothered getting my full license as I didn't feel there was a benefit except for cleaning up demerits or being able to officially drink alcohol.

Many think a GDL is a full class 5 and its not. A lot of insurance companies want a full class 5 for situations like this.

Learners permits, lol.

Will anyone rent you a car with a GDL??!

That didn't exist when I was young, but have you run into any problems with GDL and renting vehicles?

[403ep3]

I got my license shortly after the GDL program was implemented. No issues at all with GDL and renting vehicles.. no one has every asked on inquired.

Looks like I'll need to get my full license something this year.. too bad I just renewed my license 3 months ago. I assume I will have to pay for a new card.

I'm only a few short years away from needing to know the ins and outs of the GDL process for my kids. I'd better learn up.

I sat on my GDL for years, when I was searching for jobs 4 years ago I upgraded it just in case it became an issue with company vehicles.

Gdl also means 0 tolerance for alcohol (or at least it did). Would suck balls to go for a single beer and go thru a checkstop and get a dui. That was enough of a reason for me personally.

[JfuckinC]

It’s not a DUI just a registry suspension, doesn’t even show up for insurance. I got two fuck was it annoying. Not even close to drunk but got the suspension obviously.

[killramos]

There basically isn’t any tolerance for BAC anymore anyway.

[Disoblige]

I am GDL with a Q on my license.
I drive a fire truck, LMAO.

Alberta, I tell ya...

[sabad66]

Well clearly I’m out of the loop.

I’ve always thought up to two beers when I’m out for wings is safe but apparently I need to refresh my knowledge.

[killramos]

Criminally? You are probably safe.

Can they still ruin your day over it? Absolutely.

Combine that with that they no longer need reasonable suspicion to make you blow, and that they can make you blow 2 hours after you get out of the vehicle.

Ubers are cheap
