Rental agreements

Rental agreements signed on the renter's phone, before pickup.

Build your agreement from our A4 template, which fills the details page from each booking, or upload your own PDF and place fields on it. Renters sign at the end of checkout, and every signature comes with a certificate of completion.

How it runs itself

An agreement nobody types, signed before anybody meets.

Your agreement fills itself from the booking, goes out on its own and comes back signed onto the booking.

    It goes out on its own

    Sent when the booking is confirmed, with reminders until it's signed.

  3. Fatima · renter

    The agreement task closes itself

    'Get Fatima Vargas to sign the agreement' moves to Done and the checklist turns green.

Signing

Signing is always the final step of your website checkout. Renters fill in their own fields, then sign by drawing or typing, with their ID check, or both.
  • Signature, ID verification, or ID and signature
  • Renters fill in their own fields

One booking, handed on.

Good to know

  • The terms are yours to write. The template fills in the booking details, not your legal wording.
  • Editing your template doesn't change agreements that bookings already have.
  • Using the ID check as a signature needs Stripe Identity turned on.

Questions, answered

More in the Help Center, or email us any time.

How do rental agreements work?+

In Settings → Legal, build an agreement from the built-in template, where the details page fills itself in from the booking and you write the terms, or upload your own PDF and place fields on it. Your default agreement applies unless a vehicle has its own.

How do renters sign?+

You choose: drawing or typing a signature, using their ID check as the signature, or both. Renters fill in their own fields on their phone, and you can download the signed PDF.

Can I use the agreement I already have?+

Yes. Upload it as a PDF in Settings → Legal and place the fields on it. Renters fill it in and sign it the same way as the built-in template.

Are agreements sent automatically?+

They can be. With automatic sending on, the agreement goes out when a booking is confirmed, with reminders 2 days and 1 day before pickup if it isn't signed yet.

What if I change a booking after it's signed?+

Changing the booking issues a new version of the agreement for the renter to sign. Editing your template doesn't change agreements bookings already have.
