Updated today

At TripWip Argentina, you can participate as a host in two ways, depending on how you use your car and the type of insurance you have. Below, we explain the key differences between Commercial Hosts and Standard Hosts, so you can choose the option that best fits your situation.

  • Greater visibility in the app (your car appears first).

  • The driver does not pay a daily insurance premium.

  • More competitive prices = more bookings.

  • The car is rented on average 15 days or more per month.
