Frequently Asked Questions

How do the insurance tiers work?

Your earnings percentage is based solely on the insurance you provide. BASIC (40%) uses our platform insurance, STANDARD (75%) requires P2P insurance like Getaround or similar, and PREMIUM (90%) requires commercial auto insurance. The more coverage you bring, the more you earn.

What happens if my car is damaged?

All tiers include $1M liability coverage. For STANDARD and PREMIUM tiers, your insurance is primary and our platform insurance serves as backup. Claims are processed within 48-72 hours. We handle coordination with repair shops and provide loss-of-use compensation up to $50/day while your vehicle is being repaired.

What are the deductibles?

Deductibles vary by tier: BASIC tier has a $2,500 deductible, STANDARD tier has a $1,500 deductible, and PREMIUM tier has a $1,000 deductible. Lower deductibles are a benefit of bringing your own insurance.

How are guests verified?

Every guest undergoes identity verification, driving record check, and background screening. For luxury vehicles, we require additional financial verification, higher age minimums, and larger security deposits.

How quickly do I get paid?

Payments are processed within 48 hours of trip completion via direct deposit. Top Hosts get instant payouts. All payments include detailed breakdowns of earnings, fees, and any adjustments.

What is Mileage Forensics™?

Our proprietary system tracks mileage between trips to verify hosts are using vehicles according to their declared usage type. This protects both hosts and our insurance partners by ensuring accurate risk assessment and preventing fraud.

Is roadside assistance included?

Yes! All tiers include 24/7 roadside assistance during active rentals. This covers towing up to 50 miles, flat tire service, jump starts, lockout assistance, and fuel delivery.

What if the guest damages my personal belongings in the car?

Personal belongings are not covered by our protection plans. We recommend removing all personal items before each rental. Aftermarket accessories and custom modifications should be documented during onboarding.
