- Update the ‘Last Mile Direction’ accurately. We understand that some locations are better explained through words, not through maps. That’s why we’ve made sure that you can also add a descriptive direction instruction for the Guests so they can easily get to your vehicle without hassle.
For example:
If your vehicle is parked on street parking:
My car is parked on the street just around the corner from the coffee shop. When you exit the coffee shop, take a right and walk straight for about 50 meters until you reach the crosswalk. Cross the street and take a left, then walk another 20 meters until you see a blue hatchback parked on the right-hand side of the street. That’s my car!
If your vehicle is parked inside an apartment:
Kindly search for ‘Oasis Society,Domlur’ on google maps. When you enter the garage, turn left and then take the second right turn. My car is the red sedan parked in spot number 23, which is on the left side of the lane. You’ll see a big yellow pillar nearby. Walk towards it and then take a right, and you should see my car.
- Select the correct listing location on the map when you are in front of the vehicle parking spot. The correct listing location on map with a description of the parking location will be highly helpful for Guests, leading to a smooth & friction less booking experience.
