What Is Notice Period?
The notice period is the padding time required between when a booking is confirmed and when the pick-up is scheduled. It ensures you have enough time to prepare your car for the next guest.
Default Notice Periods
Non-instant booking cars: 2 hours
Instant booking cars: 4 hours
These defaults apply to both hourly and daily rentals but can be adjusted anytime by the host.
How to Personalize Your Notice Period
As a host, you can customize your notice period to match your schedule and preparation needs.
You can set it to any duration between 0 and 12 hours.
To update your notice period:
Open the Drive lah app.
Tap the Listings tab.
Select your car and tap Edit Listing.
Go to the Availability section.
Adjust the Notice Period setting.
Tip: If you need extra time to clean or prepare your car, consider setting the notice period to 2 or 4 hours.
Why it's important:
Setting a custom notice period helps you:
Avoid last-minute bookings when you need more prep time
Accept quicker bookings when you’re ready and available
Ensure your car is guest-ready, leading to better reviews
This flexibility gives you greater control and helps create a smoother booking experience for both you and your guests.
