Owner - Guide to instant booking

Instant Booking helps you save time

No need to confirm rental requests: the driver selects your car and goes straight to the booking and payment step. You’ll receive a notification each time a driver books your car.

Once the Instant Booking option is activated, your car will appear in search results with a lightning bolt symbol.

Please note that only owners with at least two active cars on our platform can use the Instant Booking feature.

How does it work?

• You can activate Instant Booking from Your Cars > Activate Instant Booking.

• Once activated, drivers can select your car in the search results and immediately proceed to payment. No need for you to accept their request. This is why it’s essential to keep your calendar up to date and make sure your rental conditions are correctly set, to avoid wasting your time and the driver’s. If you find it difficult to anticipate your car’s availability, read our tips on keeping your calendar up to date.

• You can deactivate Instant Booking anytime in your car settings. You can also customize the message that’s automatically sent to the driver once the rental is confirmed. However, you can’t deactivate Instant Booking if your car is equipped with Getaround Connect.

Note: We closely monitor cancellation rates for cars with Instant Booking to ensure the best possible rental experience. If you cancel too often, we’ll deactivate Instant Booking for your car.
