Listing on CarDeer is designed to be a straightforward process that allows car owners/agents to list their vehicles efficiently, manage ads, interact with potential customers, and facilitate secure, automated bookings.
Posting an ad on CarDeer involves four easy steps:
Step 1: Ad Details
Car owners/agents begin by providing essential ad details, including the title, selecting a vehicle category, writing a description, setting a daily rental rate, and filling out any custom fields that may vary depending on the selected category.
The description editor allows for detailed information about the vehicle to be communicated effectively to potential customers.
Step 2: Visualize Ad
Car owners/agents can upload photos of the vehicle they intend to rent out. The number of photos allowed is configured by the admin, with the recommended size being 640x350 pixels for optimal display.
High-quality images provide a better understanding of the vehicle's condition and features, enhancing the ad's attractiveness to customers.
Step 3: Set Location
Car owners/agents are required to select a location for their vehicle. The location should be specific (such as a neighborhood or exact address) rather than general like a whole city or country. This specificity helps in targeting local customers effectively.
They can either manually select a location or use auto-detection, provided they have enabled location services on their browser.
Step 4: Promote Ad (Optional)
Car owners/agents have the option to promote their ads for increased visibility. Options include "Featured Ad," "Promote Ad," and "Spotlight," with prices and durations set by the admin.
Promotion is optional, and owners/agents can proceed to publish their ads without selecting a promotion.
Once the ad details are set and confirmed, car owners/agents can publish the ad. Depending on the platform settings defined by the admin, the ad may go live immediately or be pending approval.
Car owners/agents can manage their live ads, track views, and edit or delete listings as necessary from their My Listings in my dashboard section.
When a customer is interested in a vehicle, they can initiate contact with the car owner/agent.
Car owners/agents receive notifications of new messages and can engage with potential customers directly through the platform's messaging system.
Communication should be clear and concise, with owners/agents providing any additional information or clarification that a customer might need about the vehicle.
Once a customer selects a vehicle, chooses their desired dates, and confirms the booking, they proceed with booking fee payment.
CarDeer’s platform then handles the booking automatically, securing the reservation and ensuring that both parties receive confirmation. This automated process streamlines the rental experience, enabling car owners/agents to rent out their vehicles confidently and efficiently.
Listing on CarDeer is a user-friendly experience designed to make the process of posting, promoting, and renting vehicles as smooth as possible. By following the platform's guidelines and engaging responsibly with customers, car owners/agents can successfully navigate the CarDeer marketplace and complete rental transactions with confidence.
