10 tips for more bookings
How to get more bookings on your rental car
We have created a guide showing 10 tips on how to get more bookings to ensure higher earnings when sharing your car on GoMore.
GoMore Keyless
With our Keyless technology you can easily share your car on GoMore without being present at handover or return. The Keyless technology is installed in the car by our authorized technicians. GoMore covers the installation costs. Keyless allows you to rent your car to approved GoMore members without the need for personal handovers of keys.During the rental period, the renter can easily lock and unlock the car directly via the GoMore app. Fuel levels and milage counts are automatically registered in the app. Keyless makes car sharing easier for active GoMore members and is already very popular among both car owners and renters. Cars with Keyless technology are on average rented 4-5 times more than cars without.

Pricing
Price is key if you want to maximize bookings and rental income. You always decide the price of your car, but we recommend that you follow our pricing suggestions, which we have carefully calculated based on the car model and similar rental cars in your area. We analyze prices both on GoMore and at competing car rental companies to ensure that you will achieve the most bookings on your car.
To make sure that your car is priced just right all year round, we also recommend that you activate dynamic pricing. With dynamic pricing enabled on your car profile, we automatically adjust the daily price of your car based on demand to ensure more bookings and higher earnings. Specifically, we adjust the price up or down depending on the demand for rental cars on particular days or specific periods of the year. This means you'll get more bookings when demand is low and earn more per booking when demand is high. You can read more about dynamic pricing here.
Great Pictures
Good pictures are important for your car to be prioritized in the top search results. Car ads with good photos get more bookings. We recommend you to take up to 8 photos from different angles, showing the car from both inside and outside angles. Photos taken from the inside should showcase the seats, boot, and steering panel. In the app, we guide you on how to take the best possible pictures with your phone.
Instant Booking
If your car is available at certain times and/or days, we recommend you to activate instant booking on your car profile. This means that rental requests from renters are automatically accepted if the rental period matches your car's availability in the calendar. You can set a "booking notice", which determines the minimum notice you need for your car to be available for instant booking.
Bookings starting sooner than this require your approval or rejection before the booking is either accepted or rejected. We recommend that your car can be booked at short notice. Cars with instant booking enabled will have better visibility on GoMore in the search results and will be displayed on the search page with a lightning icon. Many renters search specifically for cars with instant booking because they receive immediate reply and confirmation if the car is available for the requested rental period.

Informative Car Profile
In order for renters to get a good impression of your car, we recommend that you write an informative description on your car profile. Inform the renter about the car's size, equipment, comfort, driveability or information about charging options and range.
On your car profile, you can also inform about the possibility of delivery of your car for fee, whether the car has its own parking space, or whether you rent out your extra equipment such as child seats, bicycle rack or similar. Also we recommend describing the condition of the car as accurately as possible so that renters know what to expect when they rent your car.

Rental length
You can easily set the minimum and maximum rental period under the booking settings on your car profile. We recommend that you set your minimum rental period to 1 hour. Renters pay 20% of your daily price for a 1 hour rental and 100% of your daily price for 10-24 hours. Allowing a minimum rental period of 1 hour will ensure that your car appears in the most searches.
Rental Calendar
In order to show the availability of your car, it is important to keep your car's calendar updated. You can easily block days or times when you need to use the car yourself or when you don't want to rent it out. When your car is blocked in the calendar, it will not be shown in searches for those time periods. This ensures you will avoid unnecessary rental requests, which would otherwise negatively affect your "acceptance rate" and ranking in search results.
Acceptance Rate
The more bookings you accept, the higher your acceptance rate will get. Car owners with a high acceptance rate will receive more rental requests, and your car will also appear higher in the search results when a renter searches for a car.
Response time
Being quick at responding to rental requests positively affects your response time. In addition to the acceptance rate, the response time also affects how high your car appears in the search results and how many rental requests you receive. If you have instant booking activated, don't worry about response times as bookings will automatically get accepted and this will display your car better in the search results.
Boost
We also recommend trying GoMore's "Boost feature" to make your car more visible in the search results. If you are new on GoMore and wish to share your car with GoMore members, please contact us. We'll offer you a free boost to get you started.
If you follow the tips above, your car will appear as one of the first cars in the search results, having better chances for more bookings and higher earnings. If you want more tips and tricks to increase your chances of getting more bookings, please contact us. We are happy to help :-)
