Before starting your ride, carefully inspect the rental vehicle for any existing scratches, dents, broken parts, or other visible damage. If you notice any issues, report them immediately through MotoShare's recommended reporting process or notify the vehicle owner before beginning your trip. Taking clear photos or videos with timestamps can help document the vehicle's condition and prevent misunderstandings when the rental ends.
Reporting pre-existing damage before the ride protects both you and the vehicle owner by creating a clear record of the vehicle's condition. It also helps avoid disputes over damage that was already present before your rental period. Never begin your journey until any noticeable issues have been acknowledged by the owner or recorded according to the platform's guidelines.
Steps to Report Vehicle Damage:
- Inspect the vehicle thoroughly before pickup.
- Check for scratches, dents, broken lights, mirrors, and tire condition.
- Take clear photos and videos of any existing damage.
- Inform the vehicle owner or report the damage through MotoShare, if applicable.
- Wait for confirmation before starting your ride.
Why Reporting Damage Is Important:
- Prevents disputes at the end of the rental
- Creates a record of the vehicle's condition
- Protects both renters and vehicle owners
- Ensures a transparent rental experience
- Supports a smoother return process
What to Check Before Driving:
- Exterior scratches and dents

Key Takeaway: Always inspect the vehicle and report any existing damage before starting your ride. Documenting the vehicle's condition with photos or videos and informing the owner or following MotoShare's reporting process can help protect you from unnecessary charges and ensure a safe, transparent, and hassle-free rental experience.
