Follow this step-by-step guide to improve your listing’s photos, description, pricing, availability, and responsiveness.
1. Upload High-Quality Photos
Your profile photo must show a three-quarter view of the car. Listings with clear, attractive photos are more likely to be booked.
Lighting Matters
Shoot in natural daylight — ideally just after sunrise, before sunset, or at high noon.
Avoid harsh shadows or low-light conditions.
Use Landscape Orientation
Take all photos in landscape (horizontal) mode.
Portrait (vertical) photos don’t display well on listings.
Frame the Car Properly
Stand about 2–3 meters away from the car.
Don’t zoom in too much — allow space around the edges so nothing gets cropped.
Interior Shots
Clean the car interior before taking photos.
Avoid:
Extreme close-ups
Extremely zoomed-out shots
Take wide, clear shots of seats, dashboard, and controls.
Remove Distractions
No people or personal items should be in the photos.
Focus should be entirely on the car and its features.
Use a Good Camera
Use a phone with a high-quality camera (newer models recommended), or a digital camera if available.
Avoid blurry, grainy, or low-resolution images.
2. Write a Detailed Description
Help renters understand what they can expect from your listing.
Highlight Features: GPS, Bluetooth, reverse camera, baby seat, etc.
Suggest Use Cases: Great for family road trips, daily errands, or weekend getaways
Mention Any Rules: e.g. No pets, no smoking, minimum age for drivers, what fuel to pump.
3. Set a Competitive Price
Smart pricing improves your listing’s visibility and attractiveness.
Research local listings with similar cars to set a fair price
Adjust pricing during weekends, holidays, or peak travel periods
Enable weekly discounts for longer trips
4. Keep Your Availability Up-to-Date
Frequent updates improve your ranking in search and prevent declines and cancellations.
Update your calendar regularly to reflect true availability
5. Respond Promptly and Professionally
Quick replies build trust and help close bookings faster.
Respond within a few hours to new inquiries.
Use a friendly tone and personalize your messages
Proactively send clear pick-up and drop-off instructions to your guest once the booking is confirmed
6. Collect and Leverage Reviews
Positive reviews make your listing more trustworthy and visible.
Encourage feedback after every completed trip
Respond to reviews politely, especially if issues are mentioned
Use guest suggestions to continually improve your vehicle and listing
