Emerging car-sharing industry hitting roadblocks at DFW Airport

The emerging car-sharing industry and companies such as Turo are already running into barriers in the Dallas area at one of its most important points — airports.

After filing suit against the largest car-sharing company Turo last fall, DFW International Airport is looking to make it harder for operators of car-sharing fleets to operate on its property by towing cars on the spot in parking lots.

Car-sharing companies have seen a boom in the last year as a shortage of rental cars slammed established operators and the sharing economy expanded from housing to swimming pools and backyards for pet owners.
