San Francisco is suing Turo Inc., a startup that lets people rent out their personal cars, for operating without permits at San Francisco International Airport.
The city is accusing Turo of failing to pay the fees required to operate legally at the airport, known as SFO, which sees about 53 million travelers a year. Other rental-car companies are required to register and pay fees to operate on or near its grounds.
