The process of hiring
The entire process of renting a car is done online, in the app! Don't forget that when you hand over your car in person, both you and the renter will need the app.
Booking a car
You will be notified when a reservation is made for your car. You have 24 hours to accept or decline it. Only users who have already identified themselves in our application with their driving licence can make a booking request for your car.
You will then have the opportunity to read and accept the contents of the rental contract. What does the rental contract consist of? The template for the rental contract is included in the GTC, which you can consult by clicking here.
Rental status
On the Cristo Share home page you can see the rental status of your car, click on it to find out more details and follow the deadlines and events ahead. You can find out more about deadlines by clicking here.
Chat
Do you have questions for each other? On Cristo Share you can chat about your rental questions.
Car handover
Prepare your car: clean it, pack your personal belongings, check that everything is in order with your car, record valid toll vignette in the app, and we recommend you fill it up (and return it with a full tank at the end of the rental so there are no disputes about fuel).
Your renter will not only have your car for the duration of the rental, but also the Pro features of the app. When you hand over the car, show him the app if he hasn't used it before. This can also enhance the car rental experience.
The delivery process is also done in the app. When it's time to pick up the car, you can do the following:
Go to the agreed location at the pre-arranged time
As the host, you can start the handover/acceptance process by clicking on the Start the takeover process button at the bottom of the rental page in the app.
The renter will then see a I take over the car button on the rental page. Click on this to take pictures of the car and start the rental process.
Renting
During the rental period, your renter can use the app and your car at Pro user level. This means that the renter can start a parking session in the app at Pro user level, renter will be notified if she/he have used a motorway section for which the app does not have a valid sticker (so it is recommended that you record valid motorway vignette in advance), his/her driving will be analysed to encourage balanced car use.
Of course, data management is important during the rental process, so the renter will not see your previous trips and statistics.
And as long as the renter has your car, you can't see where it is, you can't use the Where's my car? function, you can't initiate a parking session. However, for your safety, we will tell you if you have only allowed your car to be used in Hungary, but it crosses the border, and you can find out how much and how the hirer used your car during the rental in the end of rental report.
Returning car
When the rental period is over, the lessor can start the car return process at the agreed place and time.
The lessor can start the process by clicking the Initiate return process button on the rental page
Then a report appears on the rental page, which includes the most important events during the rental. This report is for informational purposes, based on which you can clarify any arising questions.
After reviewing the report content, the lessor can take back their car by clicking the Return button. They can take pictures of the car's return condition and, if they notice any problems, negotiate with you here on how much they claim from the deposit.
Evaluation
Finally, do not forget to review the lessor and the car, and how satisfied you were with it!
On the Cristo Share page, only those who participated in the rental as a lessee or lessor can leave a review, so you won't encounter fake feedback or reviews.
