- How does car sharing monitor the condition of a car?
Car sharing is a service that is based more on trust between the company and the consumer than on a strict postulate of rules that both parties to the contract must follow when
renting a car. For this reason, almost all operations are performed remotely. Moreover, most of the responsibility lies with the client. Before getting behind the wheel and starting the car, the driver must inspect the car himself and note in the application the presence of any defects, malfunctions or dents found. Only after these comments have been indicated can you start driving. Otherwise, responsibility for the malfunctions discovered after using the vehicle will lie on the shoulders of the motorist who last used the car. Also, in his comments, the client can indicate the condition of the fuel tank. But this is not necessary, since this data is also visible to the operator. The conditions for the end of the lease, which require the lessee to perform a number of actions, also deserve special attention. If the client wants to return the car and pay for the rental, he will need to:
- Pull the handbrake.
- Shift the transmission to position 'P'.
- Turn off the headlights.
- Take a photo of the car and send it to the service administrator.
Failure to perform any of the above actions does not give the right to complete the rental, and, therefore, your account in the system will increase. It is also noteworthy that all detailed data on the condition of the car, its location, fuel level in the tank and other parameters are visible to the operator of the service provider in real time. The control system is based on advanced GPS / GSM trackers, allowing you to quickly identify serious faults in the vehicle and take it out of service without creating a danger to either the client or other road users.
