Turo PHX lockbox rule: remote access installs for Phoenix hostsVisible lockboxes are out at PHX. Go keyless for $300 a car.

From November 15, 2026, Turo prohibits external lockboxes that can be seen from outside the vehicle, such as window lockboxes, at Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX).

License plate, tow hitch and under-bumper lockboxes stay permitted. Turo encourages hosts whose vehicles support remote access technology to use it and to keep the physical key hidden inside the vehicle. Turo says lockbox and key security will be monitored at the airport, and hosts who use visible lockboxes or leave keys unsecured may lose delivery privileges at PHX.

We hardwire a Qarhami Track to the car's own locks. For each trip you send the guest one Shared Access link, for that car and that trip window only.

The guest opens the link on their phone, with no app to download and no account to make, walks up to the car and taps Unlock. The car unlocks and your app shows it. The key is already inside the car, out of sight, so the guest drives off with it and leaves it there at return. When the trip ends the link stops working on its own, and you can revoke it or extend it at any time.

It stays inside the car, out of sight, for the whole trip and between trips.

Nobody carries it to the car, and nothing hangs on the window. Our installer shows you a sensible place for it in each car when they install. Because the car is locked until a guest with a live link unlocks it, the key is never exposed to anyone walking past.

You unlock the car yourself from the Qarhami app, from anywhere.

Lock, unlock and horn work from your phone or your co-host's, and each command comes back with a confirmation from the car. If a flight moves you can extend the guest's window, and if you need to take access back you can revoke the link, which stops it working even if it was forwarded or screenshotted.

Turo describes remote access technology as guests locking and unlocking the car without a physical key handoff. That is what a Shared Access link does on a car with a hardwired Qarhami Track.

Whether a handoff method meets Turo's requirement is Turo's decision, so read your host email and Turo's PHX page. Qarhami is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Turo.

The Qarhami Track device and its professional installation, for $300 a car, through November 30, 2026.

Bought separately, the device is $100 and a Phoenix installer usually charges $250 to $300, so the same setup normally runs $350 to $400. The install is wired for remote lock and unlock on compatible vehicles, and we set the car up in the app with your first Shared Access link. Price depends on make and model, and some vehicles, such as certain Porsche and Range Rover models, aren't included; sign up or get in touch and we confirm each of your cars. Then $10 a car a month on the Premium plan.

Most cars and light trucks with factory central locking, which is nearly every rental in a Phoenix fleet.

What each car can do depends on the vehicle, its model year and the installation, and we confirm it for your cars before anything is booked. Some vehicles, such as certain Porsche and Range Rover models, aren't part of the $300 bundle. Every car also gets live location, trip history, tow and tamper alerts and a backup battery.

Yes, if it is a type Turo still permits at PHX: a license plate lockbox, a tow hitch lockbox or one that attaches below the bumper.

A hidden box still holds a working key, and someone still has to get the guest the code. Many hosts with a permitted box add a Qarhami Track anyway for live location and alerts. Tell us when we call and we'll advise car by car, including whether a Starter Disable Kill Switch makes sense for a car that sleeps at your lot.

About 30 to 45 minutes for the Qarhami Track, plus time for the lock wiring, which depends on the car.

Installs run at a host's shop near Sky Harbor, at 36th Street and Washington, or on site at your lot for larger fleets. Qarhami's founder and the installer team are in Phoenix through November 30. When you sign up, we book the slot with you.

Someone from the Qarhami team calls or texts you to confirm your cars, the price for each and your install slots.

Fleets of five or more are staged: the first cars go in before November 15 and the rest follow on a schedule we agree with you. You pay per installed car; nothing is charged when you sign up.

The Premium plan, with the car's location updated every minute, and the whole Qarhami app.

That covers the Dashboard and live map, Trips with Turo bookings from your forwarded confirmation emails, Shared Access links, remote lock, unlock and horn, Geofences, Tracking evidence with CSV export, Maintenance, Co-Hosting with seven permissions per car, Trip Tolls and Reports. Move a car to Premium Plus at $13 or Ultimate at $15 whenever you want faster updates.
