Understanding the Host Onboarding Process
Why a submitted car can sit in review, and what has to be true before guests see it.

Onboarding is the path from a verified person to a public listing. It is deliberate. A car is not shown to guests just because the form was submitted.
The usual order
- Account verification: identity, licence, photograph, and address.
- Host Rules acceptance.
- Vehicle information, photos, price, and availability.
- Ownership and insurance details for that listing.
- Inspection, when the vehicle age band requires it.
- Review. Nova Rides can hold the listing until the open items are cleared.
If you change material details after review, expect to update the listing. A company that edits CAC identity after verification is asked to submit again.
