United is the newest airline to partner with Turo, offering MileagePlus members miles on Turo car rentals. You can earn 5X miles on your first trip to celebrate the partnership. Here are the details of the Turo-United partnership and how to claim your miles.
United Partners With Turo To Offer Miles on Rentals
If you're unfamiliar with Turo, it's a platform that allows car owners to rent out their vehicles. Think of Turo like Uber, but you're hiring a car without a driver. You can often find very good deals with Turo, not to mention a massive selection of cars, including some very high-end models.
In 2019, Turo partnered with Southwest to offer bonus points on car rentals. That partnership fizzled out, only to be replaced with a similar partnership with Delta, offering the same number of bonus miles on car rentals. But the latter is still active.
Now, the partnership with United allows MileagePlus members to earn miles with Turo rentals. United also offers members bonus MileagePlus miles with Budget and Avis rentals, so you have plenty of options to earn rewards when you rent a moving vehicle.
Earn 5X United Miles on Your First Turo Rental, 1X Thereafter
The first step to earning United miles with Turo car rentals is to simply link your MileagePlus and Turo accounts. After your accounts are linked, book a qualifying car rental through Turo and earn 5X miles per dollar on the rental. The terms don't say there's a cap on the miles you can earn from your first rental.
After your first rental, you can continue to earn 1X miles per dollar with Turo rentals, as long as your accounts remain linked. Miles will despite into your MileagePlus account within 60 days of completing eligible rentals.

Our Take
If you're looking for more ways to increase your MileagePlus miles balance, this is a decent opportunity…at least for the first Turo car rental. 5X miles on a car rental is a great offer. After that, 1X miles isn't great, but could still give you the miles you need to top up for a flight.
If you are a SkyMiles member, you might want to consider Turo's Delta partnership, which offers 500 miles per car rental. Depending on the rental's value, that's possibly a better deal than 1X MileagePlus miles.
