Maximum safety: Not just a platform, but an ecosystem
Our 3-step verification process ensures that your vehicle is safe and secure. We authenticate all the info provided by our hosts by thoroughly inspecting it. Then, we link their profiles to their social media accounts like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn etc., to ensure their true personalities shine through. The exact process applies to customers as well. Apart from this, we have also created a community where all hosts can rate their customers, and similarly, all customers can rate their hosts. This way, the next host can see the customer's ratings before approving their rental request. Not satisfied with your potential customer’s rating? You can simply decline their booking and share the reason with us so that we can flag the customer and keep this in mind during their future bookings.

Step 6: Location & Instant Reserve toggle
Once the photos are uploaded, you can either add your location manually or select the location picked up by our tool. This is the location where your vehicle will be visible to the customer while making their booking. Please make sure the location is easily accessible, accurate and in a safe parking area. Configure Instant Reserve: You might notice a toggle option to “Configure Instant Reserve” which means the customer can make a booking immediately once your listing is live. If you wish to review your rider before approving their booking, please change this to off. - 2
Final step: Confirm the rental price
The last step to complete your listing is confirming the rental price. By default, we will suggest a competitive price, along with the minimum and maximum rental prices available in the market. You can enter your preferred pricing per day, per booking. And on the next screen, you can enter any discount, if needed.
💡 Our recommendation on pricing discounts
Studies show that customers are inclined towards a lower-cost vehicle with a discount when compared to a listing with a standard cost and no discounts.
Additional steps: Boost your listing & approval timeline
You can also add some more info on your vehicle like its features, mileage, years of use, number of kilometres driven, etc. to boost your listing.
And done! Your listing will be under review for the next 12 hours. We will notify you once the vehicle listing is approved, so all you’ll have to do now is sit back and relax while we help you make money with your idle vehicle.
