Your car could be the most stunning vehicle on the DRIVESHARE platform. But if your availability isn't up to date, renters won't find it when it matters most.
Keeping your calendar current is one of the simplest things you can do to increase bookings, and one of the most overlooked. Here's why it matters and how to get it right.
Show up in searches
When renters search on DRIVESHARE, they will generally filter by date. So if your calendar hasn't been updated, your car may not appear in results at all, even if you're perfectly available. Worse, if you're showing as available when you're not, declined requests damage your response rate and put renters off.
A few minutes spent keeping your calendar accurate can make a significant difference to how often your car appears and how often those searches turn into bookings.
Fewer cancellations, better reviews
Holidays, maintenance, storage periods, events where you need the car yourself... make sure you block them all. And do it now, before a booking request comes in for the exact dates you can't deliver on.
The owners who manage their calendars proactively tend to have smoother, more consistent booking histories: fewer cancellations, better reviews and stronger search placement.
Keep your listing up-to-date
While you're logged on, why not take a moment to review your listing as a renter would. Are your photos current? Does your description reflect the car as it is today? Have you selected all the rental types you're open to?
If you've completed restoration work, added upgrades or changed what you're willing to offer, your listing should say so. An active, accurate listing signals to renters that you're engaged and ready.
Stay in control all year round
Availability isn't a one-time setting. The owners who do best on DRIVESHARE treat their calendar as something to update regularly as their plans change.
Why not take five minutes today to log in, check your calendar and make sure your car is showing up for the renters who are looking for it right now?
