It is reasonable insofar as the regulations are not set-up to protect the incumbents. With a little lee-way for regulations not being that needed for the new business model. However, it seems clear to me that requiring turo renters to enter the VIN of their car to check for recalls is just reasonable regulation. The same goes for having the cars be inspected yearly. Now, any laws for the actual pick-up process are a different beast, but non of those are mentioned in the article. Note that the example of turo wanting to make it illegal for car-owners to register cars with a recall seems like they are just trying to push these costs away. In the end, it is the responsibility of the rental company that their cars are safe. If the company deems signed statements from car owners sufficient due-diligence, that is their choice. If they do not trust such statements, the solution is to demand more in your due-diligence, not to make it illegal to 'lie' on these statements. That presumes that turo already has it in their TOS for car-owners that cars are required to be un-recalled. If not, adding that should be their first step. Immediately going for legislation when you can just amend contracts is a massive over-reach.
