Introducing flight tracking

Airport delivery just got easier. No more asking guests for their flight information. When a guest adds their flight details in the app, you'll receive a notification. You’ll see their flight number as well as their departure and arrival airports. Track their flight with a single click up to 24 hours before the trip for smooth vehicle handoff.

Unlock more predictable trips

A mobile app interface displaying a "Book soon" prompt with a clock icon hovering above a car listing, encouraging guests to book early.

Reach guests planning ahead

We're encouraging guests to lock in earlier bookings by highlighting the value of booking sooner.

For select Standard vehicles from model year 2016 or newer in select markets, we've also updated pricing ranges for trips booked more than 14 days in advance. These ranges are designed to help vehicles stay competitive during advance booking periods, when guests are comparing more options before choosing a trip.

A mobile app interface showing a "Weekly trips" settings screen with tiered discount options of 15% off, 20% off, and 25% off.

Capture longer trips

Want longer trips? New minimum-duration discounts, updated discount stacking logic, and additional shortest-trip options work together to help you capture longer trips while protecting your margins.

Review your discount and minimum trip length settings to make sure they're working for your business.

More control, less hassle

Faster and more accurate mileage incidentals

If you took odometer photos at check-in and check-out, we'll automatically pull that data into your additional distance charge. Review the numbers, hit confirm, and get paid for the miles you're owed. If you didn’t take odometer photos, you can still submit the charge manually.

Updates to the notification preference center

You now have more control over the messages you receive and how you’d like to get them. Choose the topics you’d like to know about and select your preferred channels — email, SMS, push, or any combination.

Invoice monthly trips before they end

For monthly trips longer than 60 days, you’ll soon be able to send incidental invoices during the trip instead of waiting until it ends.

You’ll also be able to track every invoice for a reservation in one place with the new Invoice Hub, no matter the trip length.

Handshake icon

Vehicle owners and co-hosts leveraging the passive income hosting program exclusively in the US will soon receive automated earnings splits and view revenue reports.
