SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Turo, the world’s largest peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace, and The MICHELIN® Guide, are unveiling their Drive to Table experience composed of culinary road trips to four MICHELIN-Starred restaurants in California and New York. Beginning today, Turo guests who book select vehicles every Saturday from November 5 through December 18, will open the doors to exclusive experiences at Barndiva in Healdsburg, Bell’s in Los Alamos, Al Coro in Manhattan, and Clover Hill in Brooklyn.
