- List your own vehicle
Welcome to VRM. This guide shows you how to register and manage your own vehicle listing.
- 1. Create an owner account
At VRM zim dot com, choose List your vehicle, then Create an account. Enter your name, mobile, email and a private password.
- Choose Vehicle owner
Choose Vehicle owner as your account type. Check your details before selecting Create account. Use your own contact details; the details in this guide are examples.
- 2. Confirm your email
Open your confirmation email and follow its link. If it is missing, check Spam or use Resend confirmation. Then sign in with your email and password.
- 3. Add your vehicle
In your Owner dashboard, open My vehicles and select Add a vehicle. This is also where you will track your listing.
- 4. Enter vehicle details
Enter the make, model, registration number and year. Choose the category, transmission and seats, then add an accurate description. Keep sensitive document details out of the description.
- 5. Set your rental terms
Set your daily price, proposed refundable deposit, free kilometres per day and excess mileage rate. Review the earnings preview after commission. VRM confirms the approved deposit before publication.
- 6. Upload vehicle photos
Upload up to six photos of your actual car: front, rear, sides, interior and dashboard. Show the whole vehicle. Your first photo becomes the cover.
- 7. Make your declarations
Declare whether the registration name matches your account. Explain any difference and your authority to rent the car. Disclose your current insurance accurately. VRM will arrange supporting checks.
- 8. Accept and submit
Read the Owner Terms and Conditions and preparation requirements. Tick the acceptance checkbox when you understand and agree, then select Submit vehicle for review.
- Wait for VRM approval
Your vehicle stays under review until VRM completes its checks. Submission alone does not publish it. Contact VRM if any details need correcting.
- Pause or resume your listing
Once approved, pause your listing when the car is unavailable. Resume it when ready. Pausing does not cancel existing bookings; contact VRM if a confirmed rental is affected.
- Respond to rental requests
Check Rental requests and respond within twelve hours. Confirm only when available. VRM coordinates payment and reserves the dates after verifying payment.
- Prepare for handover
Before drop off, clean your car and check the required equipment. Bring requested documents. Review condition, fuel and odometer before signing the handover checklist.
- You’re ready to begin
Keep your contact details current and check your notifications. For help with your listing or handover, contact VRM on zero seven eight, two two eight, three two four nine.
Customers: request a vehicle
Browse and request a vehicle, receive the owner’s confirmation by email, then sign in or create an account for payment and vehicle reservation instructions.
