The steps of a pickup

The task moves forward in this order. DriveGo refuses a step that is not the next one.

After you save: the booking moves to Active, the car to Rented, the customer and the manager receive a confirmation, and a return task is created for the end date of the rental.

Mark pickup completed only works when the pickup inspection is recorded and every required checklist item is Done or N/A. If the customer does not come, declare a no-show from the Ready for the customer step: your manager is told with high priority.

The car's return

At the end of the rental, a task of type Return appears on the booking's end date. It follows the same steps, with a return inspection compared automatically with the pickup one.

What happens next

  • 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

A message says the action is not possible at this stepDriveGo 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 failsYour 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 failsThe 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 siteThe steps are kept on the phone.Carry on: they are sent in order when the network returns. See Working offline.
