Arval Car Sharing

The app is easy to use. But if you can’t manage to figure everything out, then this how-to guide will help you. So, what do you want to do?

Make a reservation
  • In the app, select where you want to pick up the vehicle.
  • Indicate the start time and end time of when you want to pick up and return the vehicle. Then tap Show Available Vehicles.
  • You will see which vehicles are available at the time you specified. If multiple vehicles are available, you can swipe left to browse them.
    • If none are available, then No vehicles available will be displayed. If that happens, try a different start and end date or time.
  • Once you’ve chosen a vehicle, tap the green Schedule with [company name] button.
  • Enter the reason for the reservation in the text field and tap Submit.
  • The reservation has now been made!
  • You can view the reservation under Trips in the menu. You will also receive an email confirmation.
Start a trip
  • Always check the vehicle before driving off. If you notice any damage or the vehicle hasn’t been left tidy, please report this in the app. Taking some photos will help too.
  • Once you're ready to drive, tap Unlock and then tap Unlock & Begin again on the next screen to confirm.
  • The vehicle will unlock, and you can start it by pressing the start button.
  • You can use the vehicle for the duration of your reservation.
  • All costs for business use are covered by your employer. This includes refuelling or charging and insurance.
    Please note: if the vehicle is damaged during your reservation, your employer may charge you for this.
Lock the vehicle temporarily
  • Always park the vehicle in a safe and suitable parking space.
  • And of course, don’t leave any property on show in the car.
  • After exiting the vehicle, tap Lock/Unlock in the app. The vehicle will now lock.
  • To use the vehicle again, tap Lock/Unlock.
  • The vehicle will unlock, and you can start it by pressing the start button.
End a trip
  • Park the vehicle in the same location as where you picked it up.
    • To end the trip, your phone needs to have internet access.
  • Tap End Drive, and then Lock and end.
  • Give a star rating and tap Submit rating.

The Arval Car Sharing app allows you to view your scheduled reservations. To do this, go to the menu, tap Trips and then Scheduled. You can then see which vehicle you have reserved here.

You can do this easily in the app. Just tap Trips in the app menu and select the desired reservation.

  • If you want to extend the reservation, tap Extend. You can then select and confirm a new end time.
  • You cannot bring forward a reservation in the app yet. Instead, cancel the reservation and make a new one with the desired start time.
  • To cancel a reservation, tap the reservation and then Cancel reservation

Go to the allocated vehicle. The trip starts as soon as you tap Lock/Unlock. The door will open automatically, and off you go.

You can start the trip up to 30 minutes before the scheduled time. The vehicle is allocated to you from then on.

To do this, tap Lock/Unlock. You can open the vehicle again by tapping the same button.

You can do this easily in the app. On the main screen, tap the + above Extend. Select the desired end time and confirm.

You can only end a trip if you have returned the vehicle to where you picked it up.

Tap End Trip. You will then be asked whether you are sure. If so, tap Close and end.

The last thing someone wants to do when they start a trip is fill up straight away. So, please make sure the tank is full when you return the vehicle. Use the fuel pass for this, which is usually located behind the sun visor.

To make the most of an electric vehicle, it’s best to make sure the battery is full. So, don’t end your trip until you have plugged the charger into the vehicle. Start the charging session on the charging station by using the charging pass, which is usually located behind the sun visor.

You can end the trip at any time as described above. Once the trip has ended, the vehicle is ready to be used by the next person.

Not to worry. You can simply carry on using the vehicle until you finish the trip. Please note that this may have a knock-on effect for someone who needs the vehicle after you, so please always let our customer service team know. The number can be found on the Customer Service page* in the app.

*Opening hours: Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

No. You can only end the trip after you have returned the vehicle to where you picked it up.

Assuming you’ve returned the vehicle to where you picked it up, this can be caused by several other factors.

  • The windows and doors might not be closed properly
  • The vehicle’s location wasn’t fully identified
  • Your phone has no service or is not connected to the internet

Please contact our customer service on the number provided on the Customer Service page*, and we’ll be happy to help you fix the problem.

*Opening hours: Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

That’s annoying, but no need to worry. We’ll sort it out for you. Please contact our customer service, and one of our team will unlock the vehicle remotely for you. The number can be found on the Customer Service page* in the app

*Opening hours: Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

Always make sure that you and your passengers are safe before you do anything else. Call the police first if necessary, then call our customer service on the number found under Customer Service* in the app. You must report the accident to your employer’s fleet manager. There may have some procedures you need to follow.

*Opening hours: Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
