Turo Calendar Sync (Yahoo)

  • Updated

This guide shows you how to sync your Turo vehicle calendars with Wheelbase when your Turo and Wheelbase account use a matching Yahoo email address.

Turo doesn’t provide a calendar feed, so the sync has two parts:

  1. A calendar connection in Wheelbase, using your Turo vehicle ID.
  2. Email forwarding, which sends Turo’s booking emails to your Wheelbase account.

You need both. The calendar connection alone won’t pick up trips.

Important: The email on your Turo account must be the same as the email on your Wheelbase account.

Before you start: how Yahoo is different

Yahoo Mail handles forwarding differently from Gmail and Outlook:

  • Yahoo filters can’t forward emails. They can only move emails into folders, so you can’t forward only the emails that come from Turo.
  • Automatic forwarding needs a paid Yahoo Mail Plus subscription. It also forwards every email in your inbox, not just Turo’s.

Because of this, we recommend using a Gmail or Outlook for a more streamlined calendar sync (Option A outlined under Step 2 below).

Step 1: Connect your Turo calendar in Wheelbase

  1. In Wheelbase, open the vehicle and go to the Calendar section.
  2. Select Manage Calendars.
  3. In the pop-up, choose Turo as the calendar type. Don’t choose External ICS.
  4. Enter the Turo Vehicle ID. It’s the number at the end of the URL on your Turo listing page.
  5. Click Add Calendar.
  6. At the bottom of the pop-up you’ll see your Wheelbase forwarding address. It looks like this: (your Wheelbase user ID)-turo@reply.outdoorsy.co. Copy it.

Tip: Make sure the address ends in .co, not .com. This is the most common reason the sync doesn’t work.

Repeat Step 1 for each vehicle you want to sync. You only need to set up email forwarding once.

Step 2: Forward your Turo emails

Option A (recommended): Switch to a Gmail or Outlook address

This option forwards only your Turo emails and is the most reliable.

  1. Use a Gmail or Outlook.com address you already have, or create a free one.
  2. Change the email on your Turo account to this address.
  3. Change the email on your Wheelbase account to the same address.
  4. Set up forwarding with the guide for your email provider:

Option B: Forward all emails with Yahoo Mail Plus

Choose this option only if you want to keep your Yahoo address and you have Yahoo Mail Plus.

Note: With this option, every email sent to your Yahoo inbox is forwarded to Wheelbase, not just Turo’s. It works best with a Yahoo address you use only for Turo.

  1. Sign in to Yahoo Mail and click Settings, then More Settings.
  2. Select Mailboxes, then choose your primary mailbox.
  3. Under Auto-forwarding, enter the address you copied in Step 1.
  4. Click Verify and follow any prompts that appear on your screen.
  5. Click Save.

Verify the setup

It’s always a good idea to check that everything is working:

  • In Wheelbase, go to Manage Calendars for the vehicle and confirm the Turo calendar is listed.
  • If you used Option A: follow the “Verify the Setup” steps in the Gmail or Outlook guide.
  • If you used Option B: go back to Settings → Mailboxes in Yahoo and confirm that auto-forwarding is turned on and verified.

Your Turo messages should start appearing in your Wheelbase account within 24 hours of the next Turo notification.
