Pre-Trip Guided Inspection & Vehicle Pickup

A thorough pre-trip inspection is your primary legal protection against pre-existing damage claims and fuel discrepancies.

1. The 3-Stage Pre-Trip Photo Inspection

Before handing over keys or unlocking the vehicle remotely, hosts must upload clear photos via the Fito Ride App:

1. Exterior Walkaround (8 Photos Minimum):

  • Front bumper, grille, and headlights.
  • Drivers side front fender, doors, and rear quarter panel.
  • Rear bumper, tailgate/trunk, and taillights.
  • Passenger side rear quarter panel, doors, and front fender.
  • All four wheels and tire tread depth.

2. Interior Condition (4 Photos Minimum):

  • Front cabin, steering wheel, upholstery, and floor mats.
  • Rear seating area and trunk space.

3. Dashboard Metrics (1 Photo Minimum):

  • Clear photo of the instrument cluster showing Odometer Mileage and Fuel/EV Charge Level while the engine/accessory power is ON.

2. Verifying Guest Identity at Pickup

  • Verify that the person picking up the vehicle matches the verified guest profile name and photo in your host dashboard.
  • Confirm the guest possesses a physical, unexpired driver's license matching the booking name.
  • Never hand over keys to an unverified third-party driver.
