Meeting The Owner and Earning

Before picking up the car, make sure your documents have been uploaded and verified by the platform you are choosing to drive on. That way you start immediately when you pick up the car. Also, make sure to do a thorough inspection of the vehicle before you drive off. Look for any major dings, scrapes or other kinds of interior/exterior damage that wasn’t revealed in the photos of the car. If you should find something, make sure to take pictures so you and the owner know the issue was there when you picked up the car.

Return The Car

Before dropping off the car to the owner, make sure to replace the gas used, then meet the owner to drop off the car. Make sure to walk around the car again to make sure you are clear of any damages and hand over the keys.
