How to Photograph Your Vehicle
Listing photos should show the car a guest will collect, in light that makes it recognisable.

Guests book what they can see. Use recent photographs of the vehicle on the listing. A photo of a different car, a heavily filtered shot, or a picture that hides damage will cause a dispute at handover.
A useful listing set
- Front, rear, and both sides, taken in daylight.
- The interior a guest sits in, including seats and the dashboard.
- Wheels and any visible existing damage, close enough to see.
- The number plate readable, so the car can be matched at pickup.
Listing photos and trip photos are different. At pickup and return, the app asks for a required set of angles, including the odometer, fuel or battery gauge, wheels, and keys. Those images are the condition record for that booking.
