We are going to review one by one the steps you must follow to be able to use, enjoy and complete your booking correctly.
Booking start
- Go to the reserved car. In the booking confirmation email and in the active booking section of the App, you will have everything you need to know how to find the vehicle: address, pedestrian access, floor and parking space, type of parking access (with contactless card or with license plate reader), etc.
- When you are in front of the car, you can open it in 2 different ways:
- Use your App: in your active booking section, click on "Open" to open the car.
- Use your contactless card that you have linked to the profile; hold the card that you have selected close to the windshield reader so that the doors will open.
- Once the doors are open, open the glove box and follow the steps below:
- Pick up the data fob. If it is your first time booking, enter the PIN number that you have received by email, SMS and that the App indicates in the yellow rectangle at the top.
- First, answer to the damage question. To do this, you must review the damage report indicated in the App and check if the car has any new damage. If you see any new damage, please send a photo to [email protected] before starting your booking.
- Secondly, answer to the cleanliness question. If you consider that the state of cleanliness is not adequate, send a photo to [email protected].
- Remove the key from the data fob
- Squeeze the clutch (or the brake on automatic cars) and start the car. For automatic cars, keep the key with you and click the READY button to start the car.
- Enjoy your booking!

During your booking
Once you have started your booking, throughout it you must lock and unlock the car as usual with the key.
Things to look our for:

- Always carry the keys with you and there will be no problem.
- Do you need to refuel? We can explain in this article how to do it.
