For Partners (Vehicle Owners Listing on MOTOSHARE)
- Verify the Renter's driving license & ID proof.
- Confirm the booking ID/receipt matches the person.
- Record the odometer, fuel level, and vehicle condition at handover.
- Keep a checklist (lights, brakes, tyres, documents, spare tyre, tools).
- Ensure the vehicle has valid insurance (comprehensive preferred).
- Keep GPS tracking enabled (recommended for safety).
- Store a copy of the Renter's documents for record (as per privacy guidelines).
- Clearly mention dos and don'ts to the Renter (e.g., no smoking, no pets if applicable).
- Hand over the vehicle with adequate fuel (usually full tank or as agreed).
- Provide the vehicle in a clean and well-maintained condition.
- Set clear expectations for fuel return policy (e.g., same-to-same).
- Inspect thoroughly at return with the Renter present.
- Compare with pickup photos.
- Report damages immediately to MOTOSHARE support.
- If necessary, claim from security deposit or insurance.
- Always document everything (photos, signed checklist).
- Communicate all rules beforehand (fuel, timing, mileage limits).
- Use MOTOSHARE chat or official channels for clear records.
- Avoid handing over vehicle without verification of Renter's documents.
- Example 1 (Renter Precaution): A Renter once picked up a bike without checking tyre pressure. Mid-trip, the tyre burst, causing delays. Always check tyres and brakes before riding.
- Example 2 (Partner Precaution): A Partner handed over a car without taking photos. Later, dents were found, but there was no proof. Always take timestamped photos/videos at handover & return.
- Example 3 (Shared Responsibility): A Renter returned a car late at night but forgot to refuel. Since there was no clear fuel policy, disputes arose. Always set and agree on fuel return policy upfront.
Quick Checklist for Partners
