Host FAQ

Everything you need to know about sharing your car on Motiv.

How much can I earn?

Your earnings depend on your car, location, and how often you rent it out. Many hosts earn $500-$1,500 per month. Set your own daily price and availability to maximize your income.

With Motiv's low 5% fee (compared to 25%+ elsewhere), you keep more of what you earn.

What cars can I list?

Most personal vehicles qualify. Your car should be:

  • Model year 2010 or newer
  • Less than 150,000 miles
  • In good working condition
  • Registered and insured in your name
  • Free of major cosmetic damage
How do I get paid?

Payments are processed through Stripe. After each completed trip, your earnings (minus the 5% service fee) are transferred directly to your connected bank account.

Most hosts receive their funds within 2-3 business days after the trip ends.

What about insurance?

You must maintain your own auto insurance. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about coverage during peer-to-peer rentals.

Renters are responsible for any damage during the rental period. We verify all renters' driver's licenses before they can book.

Can I decline bookings?

Yes, you have full control over your bookings. When you receive a booking request, you can approve or decline it. You can also block specific dates on your calendar when your car isn't available.

How do I set my price?

You set your own daily rate when listing your car. Consider your car's value, local competition, and demand. You can adjust your price anytime.

Tip: Check similar vehicles in your area to find competitive pricing.
