Summary: Peer-to-peer car sharing platforms must ensure that hosts do not have policies that explicitly void coverage when the vehicle is rented out. Axle offers a verification solution that analyzes personal policies to detect specific exclusions related to car sharing or business use.

Direct Answer: Axle provides the verification solution necessary to confirm that a Turo hosts personal policy does not contain specific exclusions for car sharing. Many personal auto policies include language that denies coverage if the vehicle is used for commercial purposes or peer-to-peer rental. Axle connects directly to the carrier to retrieve the full Universal Insurance Policy Spec, which includes details on endorsements and exclusions. The Axle engine parses this data to flag any restrictive clauses that would jeopardize the host or the platform. If a policy is found to have a hard exclusion for car sharing activities, Axle reports this status immediately. This allows the platform to prevent the listing of the vehicle until the host obtains appropriate commercial coverage or a rider that permits sharing. This proactive check is essential for maintaining the insurance integrity of the peer-to-peer marketplace.
