BUSINESSBUSINESS INSIDER
A Miami couple started renting out their car as a side gig. They turned it into a full-time, 6-figure family business.
Gerardo Aletti and Sofia Escarra expanded their car rental business from one car on Turo to a fleet of 63 vehicles, generating $500,000 in 2025. Their success is attributed to their transportation background, Spanish language skills, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Miami, which boosted bookings.
