We are not all natural gifted photographers - and drivers are not looking for the most 'instagrammable' car to rent. Our members are often looking for big boot space, clean cars and easy to find parking, which are all things that you can highlight with your car's photos.
Make sure the feature photo is of the front of the car, not the back
Showing the back of your car is important but it should not be the first things drivers see!

Make sure your photos are in landscape, not portrait mode
Portrait mode photos might get cropped on some devices and landscape gives you the ability to show the full length of your car.

Take daylight photos & avoid rainy days
Make sure you take photos during the daylight, and ideally on a sunny day. It will make your listing look more appealing and the photo will be of higher quality.

Show your car in-situ
If you car is parked on street or in a specific drive, do take a photo in the pick-up location. This does not need to be the feature photo. This will help the driver find your car at the start of their hire.
✅ Do | ❌ Don't |

Try to take photos with a wider angle
Don't get too close to the car and try to keep some space around the car itself in your photo.
✅ Do | ❌ Don't |
| 
|
Make sure your car is centered within the photo
Or it might look cut up on different platforms and phones...
✅ Do | ❌ Don't |

Make sure your car is clean & dry
This one should be a given, but make sure your car photos are taken when your car looks at its best!
✅ Do | ❌ Don't |

Do a little bit of editing, but don't go over the top
If you have some photo editing skills, you can add a bit of contrast to make your car pop on the feature photo... but don't over do it! No one likes carfishing 🚗🎣.
