Listing your first car — step by step

Have your title or registration handy, your driver's license, and proof of active commercial auto insurance for the vehicle. We require commercial insurance on every listed vehicle — personal policies usually exclude rental use.

Take 10 photos in daylight: 6 exterior (front, back, both sides, both 3/4 angles) and 4 interior (dashboard, both rows of seating, cargo). Clean the car first.

1. Pick your vehicle from the catalog (year/make/model/trim). This auto-fills technical details so you don't have to.

2. Set your nightly base price. Our pricing recommendation panel suggests a fair starting point based on similar cars in your city.

3. Choose pickup locations. You can offer multiple options (your home, an airport meeting spot, a partner garage) and price them differently.

4. Add fees and policies — cleaning fee, additional driver, young driver surcharge, prepaid EV charge, mileage allowance, fuel return policy.

5. Upload photos and write a friendly description. Highlight one or two things that make your car worth choosing: "new tires last month," "AppleCarPlay," "long-bed for moving day."

6. Preview, fix anything called out in the Listing Health badge, and publish.

Daylight, not garage lighting. Cars look 30% better outside.

Wipe the dashboard and vacuum the floor before shooting. Crumbs ruin a listing.

Crop wide; let the car fill ~70% of the frame.

Photos are auto-compressed on upload to keep your listing fast on slow networks — there is no need to manually shrink files.
