Why do we have Community Rules?
Our Community Rules
Before you hit the road, read our community rules of car-sharing.

Return it right

Keep it clean
Clean up, don’t smoke and take everything with you. Don’t forget to recycle your rubbish!

Fill ‘er up
If fuel is below ¼ tank at the end of your trip, fill up before you return to it’s bay. Fuel's on us!
So, why do these rules matter?
Our community guidelines aren't just arbitrary rules - they're the foundation needed to build a successful and enjoyable car-sharing community. By following our Community Rules – basically, leaving the car or van as you’d like to find it! – we’ll make car sharing a more positive and enjoyable experience for us all!
