MOOVA - Wheelz Connect Booking Services

Your Guide to Safe & Responsible Renting

Quick Navigation

As a renter (guest) using the MOOVA platform (operated under Wheelz Connect Booking Services), you agree to comply with the following responsibilities to ensure a safe, transparent, and legally compliant rental experience. These terms are designed to protect both hosts and renters while maintaining the integrity of our peer-to-peer vehicle-sharing community.

1. Communication

Maintain clear, timely, and respectful communication via the MOOVA Platform before, during, and after the rental (in-app chat where possible for a record). Respond to host questions and MOOVA Support promptly.

2. Booking Confirmation

Confirm your booking through the Platform only. Review and agree to:

  • Dates, times, locations
  • Pricing, deposits (if any), and payment terms

Do not arrange off-platform payments or side agreements.

3. Vehicle Inspection

At pickup, conduct a thorough inspection:

  • Photograph exterior, interior, odometer, and fuel/charge level
  • Log any pre-existing damage in-app (or message the host immediately)
  • Repeat at return

This protects both parties.

4. Adherence to Rental Terms

IMPORTANT

Comply with the host's listing rules and MOOVA policies, including:

  • Mileage limits
  • Fuel/charging policy
  • Driver eligibility
  • Geographic restrictions

Location Permission & Telematics

If the listing requires tracking, you agree to grant device/app precise location permission only during the active rental for safety/security and dispute resolution (see Privacy Policy). Do not disable, block, or tamper with GPS/telematics during the active trip. You may withdraw permission in device settings or by ending the trip; some rentals/features won't be available without permission.

5. Responsible Use & Care

Drive lawfully and carefully. Prohibited uses include:

  • Racing, stunts
  • Off-road use (unless allowed)
  • Towing (unless allowed)
  • Carrying hazardous materials
  • Impaired driving or illegal activity

Use the correct fuel and charging method, keep the vehicle locked when unattended, and do not share keys or allow unauthorised drivers.

6. Timely Return

Return the vehicle at the agreed time and place. Communicate delays before the return time. Late returns may incur fees per the listing and MOOVA policies. Follow any check-out steps (photos, drop location, lockbox procedure).

7. Fuel / EV Charging Policy

Return with the same fuel level or state of charge (SoC) unless otherwise stated. Keep fuel/charging receipts if requested. If returned short, hosts may apply a refuel/recharge fee plus a service fee.

For EVs, you're responsible for charging costs, any idle fees, and using appropriate connectors.

8. Reporting Issues

Immediately report accidents, breakdowns, theft, warning lights, or damage to the host and MOOVA Support (support@moovarides.com).

  • In emergencies, call local authorities first
  • Provide photos, location, and a brief description
  • Do not continue driving if the vehicle is unsafe

9. Cleanliness

Return the vehicle tidy, free of rubbish and personal items. Listings may prohibit smoking/pets; violations or excessive mess can result in cleaning/smoking fees as disclosed.

10. Reviews and Feedback

Leave fair, constructive feedback after your rental. Use reviews to help the community and inform future renters.

11. Security Deposit

Where required, a refundable deposit or card pre-authorisation may be taken before the rental. It may be partially or fully applied to:

  • Damage
  • Missing fuel/charge
  • Late fees
  • Fines/penalties
  • Cleaning or other authorised charges

You can dispute charges via MOOVA Support with evidence.

12. Documentation

  • Carry a valid driver's licence (and any required endorsements) at all times
  • You must meet age/experience criteria and any insurer requirements listed
  • Only approved additional drivers (added in-app) may drive
  • Carry the rental agreement/insurance details if required by law

13. Compliance with Laws

Obey all road, parking, and safety rules. You are responsible for:

  • Tolls
  • Congestion/low-emission zone charges
  • Parking/traffic fines and any penalties incurred during your rental

You authorise MOOVA to process such amounts (plus any disclosed admin fee) when official records are provided.

14. Respect for the Host's Property

Treat the vehicle with care. Do not alter, disable, or remove telematics, trackers, or dashcams.

(Note: in-cabin audio/video recording may be restricted by law; see listing disclosures.)

Loss of keys, documents, or accessories may incur replacement costs.

15. Additional Fees & Charges

You acknowledge potential charges including, but not limited to:

Excess mileage
Late return
Refuelling/recharging fees
Cleaning/smoking fees
Lost keys
Roadside call-outs
Tolls/fines + admin fee
Towing/impound release
Device tampering fees
Damage/repair costs

16. Respect for the Community

Treat hosts, other renters, and MOOVA staff with courtesy. Harassment, discrimination, and abusive conduct are prohibited and may lead to account suspension or removal.
