Updated over a month ago

▶️ Starting your trip:

Reserve a vehicle for free for 15 minutes via the app. You can cancel within this time window with no charge. Pay by the minute, kilometer, or purchase a pass. Payments are automatic, and you’ll receive an invoice by email.

  1. Choose your ride: Open the app, pick your vehicle.

  2. Check for damage: Inspect the vehicle for any damage before unlocking. If you spot any, report it through the app or email photos to [email protected] the same day.

  3. Unlock and go: Unlock the car with one tap in the app. Don’t forget to buckle up! Inspect the interior and report any issues via the app.

⚠️ Important Information: If you don’t report visible damage or defects during your inspection, you’ll be held liable for them.


⏸️ Pausing your trip:

Pause your trip anytime, even outside Poppy zones (at your own expense). Return the vehicle to any Poppy zone when finished.

  1. Tap 'Pause' in the app.

  2. Ensure doors/windows are closed, engine off, and gear in ‘P’ for automatic vehicles.

  3. For vehicles with a physical key, return it to the keyholder inside the glove compartment.

  4. To continue your trip, swipe 'Unlock'.

Pausing rates depend on the vehicle tier; check the app for more details.


⏺️ Ending your trip:

When done, park the vehicle on a legal parking spot in the Poppy zone and end the trip in the app.

Before leaving, check:

  • Windows closed 🪟

  • Lights off 💡

  • No personal items left behind 👜

  • Clean interior 🧼

  • Gear in ‘P’ position

  • Engine off 📴

  • Report damages in the app 💥

  • Car locked 🔑
