This policy explains how articles on ETIMESBLOG are researched, written, reviewed and corrected.
Experience first
ETIMESBLOG is written for car rental owners and car sharing hosts by Umair Abid, who runs a car rental business in the United States. Where an article describes what works in practice, it draws on that first-hand experience, and we say so.
Research and sources
Facts such as platform fees, insurance terms, legal requirements and statistics are checked against primary sources before publishing: official platform help centres, insurers, and government or regulator websites. We link to those sources in the article so you can check them yourself. If a claim can't be sourced, it is labelled as opinion or left out.
Use of AI tools
We use AI writing tools to help with research and first drafts. Every article is then reviewed, fact-checked and edited by the named author, who adds his own experience and is responsible for what is published. We do not publish AI-generated content without human review.
Updates and corrections
Platform rules and prices change often. We update articles when information changes and show the updated date. If you spot an error, please contact us; significant corrections are noted in the article.
Independence
We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Turo, Getaround or any other platform, insurer or software company we write about, unless an article clearly says otherwise. The author is building FleetsMerica, a fleet management product; when an article mentions it, that connection is disclosed.
Advertising is served through Google AdSense and is kept separate from editorial content. Advertisers have no say in what we write. If an article contains affiliate links, this is disclosed in the article.
