Most of us love a clean car! Make sure to leave the car in a state you'd like to find it. Before you end your trip, give the car a good check under and between the seats. This way you're less likely to leave something behind – and you're doing the whole community a good deed.

Consider carrying a hand sanitiser around and sanitise or wash your hands before and after your trip. Studies show that hand sanitiser with over 60% of alcohol is an effective way to kill bacteria and viruses. This plays a huge role in keeping the car interior clean and low-risk. Keeping your hands – and our cars – clean is a simple way of protecting yourself and all members of the car-sharing community.

Before and after your trip, leave the car doors open for half a minute for fresh air to enter. It's a great way to get rid of any unwanted odours and stale air. If the weather allows, it's a great idea to roll down the windows and make sure you have good air circulation while driving.

If you drive with passengers from a different household, consider wearing a mask in the car. We don't expect or oblige you and your passengers to wear one in the car, but it is an effective way of lowering the risk of contagion for everyone.

If you need a car over a period of time, consider keeping a car for longer instead of renting a different one each time. For example, instead of taking one car to the supermarket and a different one to drive back home, consider using the same car and make a stopover instead.
