In this article, we explain how the drop-off process works. Completing this process is essential to ensure your trip remains insured, avoid damage disputes, and accurately document the car’s condition upon return.

Accessing the Return Location

  1. Drop-off Process Initiation:
    The drop-off process opens 1 hour after your trip begins. Your trip page will display the drop-off location where the car must be returned, giving you the flexibility to end your trip earlier if needed.

  2. Start the Process:
    When you arrive at the return location, open your trip page in the app, tap the End Trip button, and review the drop-off details. You must be within 250 meters of the return location to begin the process.

Note: If you have purchased the Home Delivery add-on, you must return the car at your location, where your host will pick it up. In this case, the above step is not applicable.

Starting the Drop-off process

Step 1: Exterior Inspection

  • Document the Exterior:
    Capture clear photos of the car from all angles. The more thorough you are, the better protected you are from future damage claims.

  • Add Remarks:
    If necessary, include any remarks regarding the car’s condition before moving on.

Step 2: Fuel Level Check

  • Record Fuel Level: Take a clear photo of the fuel gauge.

  • Enter Details: Use the slider in the app to record the current fuel level.

  • Refuel Receipts:
    If you refueled during your trip, upload receipts detailing the amount and quantity. Multiple receipts can be added if needed.

Step 3: Odometer Check

  • Capture Odometer Reading: Take a clear photo of the odometer.

  • Record the Reading:
    Enter the reading into the app, ensuring it matches the photo.

Step 4: Return Keys and Secure the Car

  • If your car has keyless access: Leave the key securely in the glovebox.

  • If your car doesn't have keyless access: Return the key directly to your host.

Secure the Vehicle:
Remove all your belongings, ensure all doors and windows are locked, and follow any additional instructions provided in the app.

Complete Drop-off:
Tap Complete Drop-off in the app to finalize the process.

By following these concise steps, you ensure that the car’s condition is properly documented and that your trip remains fully insured.
