Questions, answered

How booking a car from a local host works, from the search to the return.

Booking

What is tiveo?

A marketplace for renting cars from independent local rental businesses. Every car belongs to a named host, and you see who you are renting from before you book.

How is it different from a rental counter?

There is no counter or shuttle. You book a named local business, and from booking to drop-off you deal with that one host.

What do I need to book?

A valid driver’s license and a payment card. Some hosts ask for more, such as a minimum age or a deposit; you see both before you pay.

How old do I need to be?

Each host sets their own minimum age. When a host has set one, the car page shows it under the host’s rules.

How are prices set?

Each host sets their own daily price. Pick your dates on a car’s page to see the host’s price for that trip, with any fees and the deposit, before you continue.

Pick-up and return

Where do I pick the car up?

At one of the host’s pick-up points for that car, listed on its page with the address and opening hours. You choose one when you book.

Can I return the car somewhere else?

Yes, if the host takes cars back at more than one place. The booking page then lets you choose a different return point.

Can I rent for a week or a month?

Yes. Many hosts offer weekly and monthly rates. Choose “Weekly & monthly” when you pick your dates.

Which time zone are pick-up and return times in?

The host’s local time, the time where the car is. The times you can choose follow the pick-up point’s opening hours.

Changes and payments

Is there a deposit?

Some hosts take a security deposit. When they do, the car page and the booking page show the amount before you pay.

When do I pay?

When you book, through the host’s own checkout. Some hosts let you pay later; their cars say so.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Yes. Open your trip from Manage booking in the browser you booked in, or from its tiveo link, to change your dates or cancel. The host’s cancellation policy applies, and every car page shows it.

Already booked?
