Manage accidents and their follow-up
Record an accident, take the car out of rental and move the nine-step follow-up forward, from the report to the car's return to rental.
An accident is reported once, with its circumstances, photos and the people involved. As soon as it is sent, the car is taken out of rental and a nine-step follow-up opens. This follow-up guides you until the car is back in rental.
Steps
- Open More, then Accidents.
- An employee on site reports the accident from their phone (see the employee guide). The agency can also report it.
- Open the accident to show Accident follow-up: the nine steps one below the other.
- For each step, add your notes and documents, then mark it In progress or Completed. Mark it Blocked if it is waiting for someone else.
- Keep the file up to date: claim number, insurance policy, deductible, actual cost.
- Complete step 9, Ready to rent, when the car has passed its final inspection.

The nine steps and who does them
Steps follow one another in order: a step can only be completed when all earlier steps are.
| Step | Name | What happens | Who can complete it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Accident reported | The report is sent with photos. | Employee, agency manager or owner |
| 2 | Documents collected | Accident report, police report, licence and photos are gathered. | Employee, agency manager or owner |
| 3 | Insurer notified | The insurer receives the claim. | Agency manager or owner |
| 4 | Technical assessment | The car is examined to price the damage. | Employee, agency manager or owner |
| 5 | Repair quote | The garage prices the repair. | Agency manager or owner |
| 6 | Insurer approval | The insurer agrees to cover it. | Agency manager or owner |
| 7 | Repair in progress | The car is at the garage. | Agency manager or owner |
| 8 | Final inspection | The repaired car is checked. | Employee, agency manager or owner |
| 9 | Ready to rent | The car returns to the rentable fleet. | Agency manager or owner |
Only the owner can skip a step, with a required note written on each skipped step. The fleet manager can mark a field step In progress or Blocked, but cannot complete it. More details in the nine-step accident follow-up.
What happens next
- When the report is sent: the car shows the Accident status, disappears from search with no end date, and the follow-up opens at step 1.
- Managers get "Accident reported" by notification and email, with high priority: this alert does not wait for the end of quiet hours (22:00 to 07:00).
- When a step reaches its expected date, the assigned person is notified.
- When step 9 is completed: the car is Available again and the accident moves to Resolved. If an actual cost is entered, it is counted once in the accident costs in finance.
Troubleshooting
| Situation | Cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A step cannot be completed | An earlier step is not completed. | Complete the steps in order, or ask the owner to skip the step with a note. |
| "Your account cannot perform this action." | An employee tries a step reserved for managers (3, 5, 6, 7 or 9). | An agency manager or the owner completes the step. |
| The car still does not show in search | Step 9 is not completed, or maintenance or a rental holds the car. | Check the follow-up, then the availability calendar. |
| The report was entered without network | It is waiting on the employee's phone. | It is sent as soon as the network returns, without duplicates. See offline mode. |
