1. Open the Drive lah App

The car’s exact location will be shared 1 hour before your trip starts.

2. Start the Pick-up Process

You can begin 15 minutes before your trip time.

  • Open your Trip Page → tap View Pick-up Details.

  • Make sure you’re within 250m of the car.

  • Tap Start Pick-up to begin.

3. Verify Your Identity

Take a quick selfie in the app and tap Complete to confirm it’s you.

4. Inspect the Car’s Exterior

Before accessing the keys, inspect the car’s condition:

  • Take at least 8 clear photos from different angles.

  • Add comments if you notice any existing damage.

5. Access the Keys via Lockbox

Once you’ve uploaded your inspection photos, the lockbox code will appear in the app.

  • The lockbox is usually attached to the driver’s side window.

  • To open: press ENT → [code] → ENT.

  • When removing the lockbox:

    • Enter the car and lower the window halfway.

    • The lockbox is slotted between the inner and outer glass, so it can only be detached safely from inside the vehicle.

  • After removing it, store the lockbox securely inside the car once opened.

Note: The lockbox code only appears after photos are uploaded, so make sure to complete that step first!

6. Record Fuel and Odometer

  • Take a photo of the fuel gauge and adjust the fuel level slider.

  • Take a photo of the odometer and enter the reading in the app.

7. Rate Cleanliness

Rate the car’s cleanliness on a scale of 1–5.
You can also add a reason or upload an interior photo (optional).

8. Complete Pick-up

Tap Complete Pick-up in the app to finish the process.

Review any final instructions, and you’re all set to enjoy your trip!
