Safe Vehicle Rentals

Renting a vehicle through a peer-to-peer platform like Vrooz offers convenience, affordability, and flexibility. Whether you're booking a car for a weekend trip or listing your own for extra income, safety should always come first. Here are essential safety tips every user should follow to ensure a smooth and secure rental experience.

1. Verify All Documents

Before any handover:

• Drivers should verify the vehicle's registration, insurance, and roadworthiness.
• Owners should verify the renter's driver's license and Vrooz-verified profile.
• Vrooz's platform includes built-in verification tools, but both parties should double-check documents in person for added assurance.

2. Inspect the Vehicle Thoroughly

Before starting your trip:

• Walk around the vehicle and take clear photos of the condition (scratches, dents, etc.)
• Check tire pressure, fluid levels, brake condition, and fuel level
• Make sure all lights, indicators, and wipers are working

Documenting the vehicle's condition protects both parties in case of any disputes after the rental.

3. Communicate Clearly

Confirm:

• The pickup and drop-off times
• The exact location for meeting
• Any special instructions (fuel policy, mileage limits, etc.)

Use the Vrooz messaging system for all communication. This ensures transparency and serves as a record in case of issues.

4. Never Handover Without Verification

Do not hand over the vehicle if:

• The person collecting it is not the verified renter
• The driver fails to present a valid license
• You feel uncomfortable or suspect any irregularities

Your safety is more important than completing a booking. Report any such incidents to Vrooz immediately.

5. Follow Local Laws and Guidelines

Both owners and renters must:

• Abide by Sri Lankan traffic laws
• Ensure the vehicle is used only for approved purposes (no commercial or unlawful use)
• Avoid overloading the vehicle or driving under unsafe conditions

6. Use Vrooz for Payments and Support

Never accept or request cash payments or off-platform transactions.

Vrooz handles all payments securely and provides support only for transactions completed within the platform.
