Pickups and returns
Carry out a pickup from start to finish: accept the task, leave, mark your arrival, prepare and inspect the car, hand it to the customer, then handle the return.
A pickup links a confirmed booking to you, a place and a time. You move it forward step by step from your phone, from accepting it to handing over the keys. Each step is time-stamped and added to the timeline your manager follows live. The return of the car follows the same steps.

The steps of a pickup
The task moves forward in this order. DriveGo refuses a step that is not the next one.
| Step shown | What triggers it | What you can do next |
|---|---|---|
| Assigned | The manager chose you | Accept |
| Accepted | You tapped Accept task | Leave, report an issue |
| On the way | You tapped I am on my way | Mark arrival, report a delay, report an issue |
| Delayed | You reported a delay | Mark arrival, report another delay, resume the trip |
| Arrived | You tapped I have arrived | Start preparation, report an issue |
| Preparing | You are preparing the car | Finish preparation, report an issue |
| Inspection in progress | Preparation is finished | Send the inspection, report an issue |
| Inspection completed | The inspection is sent | Declare the car ready |

| Completed | You tapped Mark pickup completed | Nothing: this is the end |
The other cases are Issue reported, Reassigned, Rescheduled, Cancelled and No-show. Giving the task to a colleague, moving it or cancelling it is the manager's decision, never the employee's.

- Accepted: your manager is told.
- On the way: the customer receives a notification.
- Arrived: your manager is told. For a return, the booking moves to Return in progress.
- Car ready: the customer receives a notification; for now, the text message is replaced by an email.
- Pickup completed: the rental starts and the return task is created.
- Return completed: the booking moves to Completed, the car is Available again, its mileage and fuel are updated, and the customer is invited to leave a review.
Troubleshooting
| Situation | Cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A message says the action is not possible at this step | DriveGo refuses an out-of-order step, such as completing before the inspection. The message shows the current step. | Do the expected step, or refresh the task: your manager may have changed it. |
| I have arrived fails | Your position could not be read. | Allow location for DriveGo in the browser, step out of an underground car park if you can, then try again. |
| Mark pickup completed fails | The pickup inspection or a checklist item is missing. | Open the checklist and the inspection and complete what is missing. |
| "Your account cannot perform this action." | The task was given to a colleague. | Go back to Tasks: it is no longer in your list. |
| No network on site | The steps are kept on the phone. | Carry on: they are sent in order when the network returns. See Working offline. |
