Pool vehicle booking and handover records

By ReWheel. Content reviewed .

Shared vehicles go wrong at the handover. Keep the reservation, the key release and the returned condition as three separate records, resolve overlapping requests before keys go out, and hold a returned vehicle with an open defect until a reviewer releases it.

Records to keep together

Before key release

  • Check overlapping reservations for the same vehicle, including extensions and late returns.
  • Ask the booking owner to resolve the collision and keep the revised request.
  • Confirm the authorized recipient and record the actual key release apart from the planned window.
  • Record condition and fuel or charge with units, leaving unavailable observations blank.

Close the handover

Return and escalation

  • Match returned keys and the physical vehicle to the handover.
  • Record actual return, condition and fuel or charge independently.
  • Assign any defect to the authorized condition reviewer and follow your operating procedure.
  • Make a held vehicle available only after an explicit release.
