About
When you're buying a used car, you're told to get a VIN report. So you do. It comes back clean — no accidents, clean title, one previous owner. What it doesn't tell you is whether that car spent the last three years being rented out on a ride-sharing platform by hundreds of strangers.
Ride-sharing platforms like Turo operate entirely outside the insurance reporting ecosystem. Trips aren't accidents, so they don't appear in insurance databases. There's no mechanism for this data to flow into Carfax or AutoCheck — by design.
A vehicle with 800 rental trips has been driven by 800 different people with no personal stake in how it's treated. Short trips, frequent cold starts, aggressive driving, deferred maintenance — it adds up in ways the odometer and service history don't fully capture. Trip count is a meaningful data point, and it was previously invisible to buyers.
Dromos maintains a database of vehicle listings and trip data sourced from ride-sharing platforms. When you submit a VIN, we cross-reference it against that database and return the ride-share status, trip count, rental location, and listing activity period.
We also confirm the vehicle's identity — make, model, year, trim, body type, and drivetrain — so you know you're looking at the right car before you factor any of it into your decision.
Individual car buyers running a VIN before they make an offer. Dealers evaluating trade-ins. Developers building automotive tools who want ride-share history as a signal. Anyone who wants the full picture.
